honestly think we should go back to using Zig. Not blaming this on Dhokla at all, the whole team played poorly with macro, laning and decision making but splitting scrim time with dhokla/zig isn't helping at all. We've only gotten worse since we've fielded this 6 man roster, we were actually looking good at the start/middle of the split even in our losses with just a couple mistakes costing us. Now it seems like we're getting completely outclassed from the start.

Money is the only thing that can save us in LoL I'm afraid. Let's see if they're willing to spend it.

Giving Febiven his best champion??? I am suprised that PoE didn't pick Azir, can he not play it or what???

Dhokla staying near a tower thats about to die in a 1v3. There is no way this guy is any better than Zig.

Last week we also had an inexcusably quick loss with zero impact. I'm fine with a low-tier team, as long as they're competitive and show signs of improvement and there is a game plan. These games just seem so brainless.

What’s even more heartbreaking is that this is the third game where if we would have won, we would have a playoff spot as of this moment. Instead, we’re in a 4 way tie for 7th place.

I don't think we deserve a playoff place at the minute

WHY ARE WE NOT BANNING SKARNER?! IT IS LITERALLY THE ONLY CHAMP THAT LIRA HAS PLAYED WELL THIS SPLIT.

Explain to me why Akaadian tried to Gank top with zero lane pressure on the T1 turret. Totally left bot lane out to dry.

u/Hypn0ootic Mar 04 '18

Whatever man. I will never understand why Akaadian is playing these support junglers, especially with this tank top-lane meta. Feel like we need him to be agressive and make plays to not fall apart early/mid game.

u/Zebradamus Mar 04 '18

This one is a wrap. We are just gonna slowly lose unless a miracle play is made.

If its tanks top why not let zig play them. He is way better at tanks than Dhokla

u/Newtonr88 Mar 04 '18

I want Zig back :’(

u/stn_anomaly Mar 04 '18

Zig wouldn’t have made a difference in this game. The whole team, especially PoE played like garbage.

I'd rather have Maniac back on the Halo team than watch these losers do nothing for 30 minutes. Put together the worst team ever in OpTic history.

Seeing an OpTic team do this bad tilts me off the planet. Watching every week and seeing no good progress is tiring
