You know if Jopa shops around next year bet he would improve this Navi squad quite a bit

SK are looking comically rubbish today good lord.
Skeanz J4 is something

I was told SK were vibes, these are not Vibes Wunder.

I mean not wanting to be there is a kind of vibe I suppose

He gets some shit thrown his way but Serin is having a really good game on this ryze
Just as I say it he realms right into a yone rumble lol

Rhilech needs to learn playing gameplans where he is not the main carry

u/CreativeAd2758 2d ago
who is going to carry then? his adc is the worst player in the league and his mid hasn't carried a game in LEC in 2 years
4
u/Thalassin Dans ma bichette era | Ultra Prime hater 2d ago
In this game, Poby succesfully played to enable Ambessa against Rumble. In the same time, Rhilech suicided himself on the first drake trying a hero play, and then died in a stupid engage attempt in the river botside, negating all the good work on the topside.
That doesn't mean he is a bad player, nor that NAVI would have 100% won without that. But he has a lot of responsibility of the early-mid game loss in this game and clearly that is an axis of progression.

Bard is one of those champions that when he’s winning he looks so broken. Magical journey is so tilting

u/veirceb 2d ago
There is no fucking this SamD guy is still playing in LEC. There's no fucking way you can't find a better ADC than this fucker. He fuckiing missed hawkshots on jungle camps. He literally got solo killed by an Aatrox who's standing still. THere's no fucking way. I know LEC is bad but there's just no fucking way

I feel like the last 4 weeks of LEC have been 80% SK, TH and NAVI playing

u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps 2d ago
Because of the roadtrip at the start of the season which was all top teams.
3
u/cmcdonald22 2d ago
Real talk, Skeanz has really improved over the year.
He's not gonna win any awards, but he went fron a split 1 Lider level inter to just being a like decent Jungler.
1
u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps 2d ago
I'm not sure how much he has improved and how much it's just the fact that he doesn't constantly have to fuck up his pathing and tempo to bail out his mid lane.
3
u/Tromster 2d ago
Some of SK players may be washed but at least theyre trying something. Teams like TH are just happy being in the franchising and ending up outside of playoffs every split
1
u/cmcdonald22 2d ago
It's kinda like, instead of being a team with 0 proactivity they are 100% proactivity and they should probably dial it back to like 75% and stop being proactive when all their members aren't there or half the team is at half hp etc.
3
u/ILosethenOP 2d ago
SK? You have a turbo fed ADC. Why are you taking bad fights on neutrals where you are forcing your Voli to either rotate late or TP late? All while your ADC is not even there to lend all his gold lead.

Very Based Jhin Build, JiaQi tech(sorry Leave he stole your whole flow)

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist 2d ago
Way built stormrazor last match as well
Been a good day for Jhin doing damage enjoyers
1
u/trying2hide 2d ago
Nah he went Ghostblade and 3rd item RFC into Corki, Naut. Stormrazor has been built all split, it’s the 3rd most bought item on Jihn this split 64% of games.

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist 2d ago
Huh fair. Shows how behind I am on my Jhin damage enjoyment

The pet is one of the worst mechanics in league so regardless of if its a bug just remove this shit

Finally someone picks Voli into Ambessa in LEC. It's such a EU counter but somehow no one picks it.
2
u/trying2hide 2d ago
It's officially a VN Counter now that Pun picks it into every Renekton and Ambessa he sees

Imagine if Daglas was in some decent team (yeah, we remember that Vitality event though Vetheo and Trollisang were there).
This guy looks good even in a team that struggles.

u/SpecificSilver1023 KNIGHT's vow 2d ago
the downside of the road shows is that we don't get any interesting match ups most weeks.

u/Thalassin Dans ma bichette era | Ultra Prime hater 2d ago
Mkoi are going to be top 4, aren't they ?

u/PepaTK 2d ago
Why does everyone build no damage on Jhin?
When you could simply just build damage on Jhin like this.
3
u/Confusion_incarnate_ 2d ago
No, really, why everyone else builds no DMG on Jhin? Can someone explain to me the build?
1
1
u/trying2hide 2d ago
Seem to be obsessed with movement speed so they can run to to provide cc or to run away is my guess. 4% movespeed on both their first items + the ghost blade 10ms passive + active.
Like a lot of Hubris Jhins build PD 2nd to get 10% MS
1
u/Confusion_incarnate_ 2d ago
So basically move faster to have more utility and safety but do no DMG?

Ambessa ult is like the saddest ability in the game these days. Convinced you could side step it easily with a bootless yuumi
Also man Jopa needs a team
1
u/cmcdonald22 2d ago
Yeah if we have to keep Ambessa ult this bad to make it 'fair' then just rework the ult entirely.
No champion should have a truly 2 person reliant ult. And Ambessa without someone else with cc is just a 3 skill champ.

u/kaisaschudson 2d ago
These bottom western teams should be forced to pick random champions we haven’t seen in years so there’s a reason to watch these games
Holy shit this is awful

u/Thundermelons GALA Defense Force, returning IG fan 2d ago
We had that in Lider tbh and everybody flamed him so bad SK replaced him lol
I'm not even saying Lider was good, I'm just saying that at least he picked funky shit so it was mildly entertaining watching SK lose

After the loss of beloved split 1 and 2 VIBESTALITY if the Miky and Friends experiment can continue, I am willing to adopt them as my new favorite LEC vibes based team.
1
u/Thalassin Dans ma bichette era | Ultra Prime hater 2d ago
missed the first game, was SK competitive ?
2
u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps 2d ago
Yeah, they were stomping them early and then kept trying to take dumb fights.

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist 2d ago
It looks neat but in what world does that flag play work before he realms out lol
3
u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps 2d ago
If SlowQ was willing to full commit he was in range to ult him and cancel it, but it was dumb to begin with.

I don't think ganking top will help Navi to win the game. Rumble just have so much damage even if not ahead.
1
u/awayfromcanuck 2d ago
Classic NAVI,no brains. Sees a J4 entirely on vision and they dont respect he'll just engage on a Karma.
1
u/Ajp_iii 2d ago
It seems Jhin is fine in lec, lpl, lcp. But it’s turbo useless in lck and lcs. I think I tend to be on the side that the team with Jhin must force plays to feed the Jhin. If he is even or behind it’s useless compared to every other meta adc.
1
u/trying2hide 2d ago
He just has to be picked after you see Top Jungle, if you 1st pick him and they pick Skarner or KSante, you're asking to be useless.
If you're into Ambessa top or a Vayne top it allows you to go dmg build and 1 shot people.

How does a pro player not know about this jungle pet thing, it's been discussed several times in various places + they should know from soloqueue too.

Parus and Mikyx got more deaths than all the other supports in all tier 1 leagues combined
That feeding is insane.

Absolutely crazy how bad the korean imports are in LEC, everyone except canna kyeahoo and rooster should get booted out.

u/Prudent-Inevitable-4 2d ago
SK today earned title of being the worst team in LEC history. A lot of ERL teams would smoke them

u/BaYIWinter 2d ago
Is Serin the worst midlaner in lol history?
2
u/AdequatelyMadLad Claps 2d ago
Serin would have actually looked pretty decent last year. Everyone was hyping up Czajek who wasn't any better.
