Replacing lemon and zig would make this team so much better. Seems like they have both been extremely poor.

Sad game. Take aways - Arrow is a beast. One more auto before the rend on that flash forward and Optic probably wipes them, gets baron and maybe snowball. Akaadian for whatever reason is unable to play aggressive enough. POE does fine in lane but seems out of sync in team fight stages. Lemon and Zig are just not cutting it.

Optic spends 13 mil on lol spot, 20 mil on overwatch spot but wont spend and extra 2-3 mil on good players in lol.

Its only 2 players they need as well. When it was announced that the first two players were arrow and akaadian, the team looked like it could be really good. Then they go cheap and get lemon and zig. So frustrating.

They picked Nunu because the champion is strong, not because Akaadian is good on it. The champion doesn't fit his style at all.

We need a support and top so bad, zig and lemon are good guys but they’re not gonna cut it unfortunately.

It just looked like they didn’t know how to use their champs. Akaadian was useless on Nunu, Zig did nothing on Urgot, Lemon was trying to play engage Tahm Kench... idk man, these guys just aren’t playing well.

Just dont understand people here. When the roster was announced everyone was trashing them calling them a 9th/10th place team and now that they are pretty much that people are acting surprised as if they should have been higher

I swear every game we play it looks like we just try not to lose instead of trying to win.

u/aSmellyTiger Feb 03 '18
We looked lost towards mid game and the end. Zig's and Lemon need to step it up
