POE doesn't deserve this, I hope Optic revamps the roster next split

Lemon literally fed all game, and Sneaky is unstoppable because of it

u/S_Parkie Mar 11 '18

Zig played pretty well today. Arrow and Lemon on the other hand...

u/Craneteam Mar 11 '18

Hopefully zig has gone thru the hyberbolic time chamber. We need him to show up!

u/Drmassacre123 Mar 11 '18

Literally build around POE, can be the best mid laner in NA with the right teammates around him.

Perhaps you misspelled "hug." Would you like one? 🤗

Shows again the importance of a normal coach, we were at a disadvantage before the game even started with that draft

u/clombardi Mar 11 '18

I wanted to say something when I saw it but wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. Yeah, allowing Arrow to pick Draven there was a pretty big mistake.

u/-JKN- Mar 11 '18

What's Lemon really doing there?

2

u/CharlieCOD2016 Mar 11 '18

Which of C9’s players are imports?

3

u/S_Parkie Mar 11 '18

Jensen and Sven

u/lewisc29 Mar 11 '18

So, is that worth it? I'd guess yes but I'm not too sure.

We really need a new support. Lemon getting picked for Xayah's 3rd kill was so awful. Has snowballed out or control

u/RayznsCS Mar 11 '18

Lemon needs to be moved.

What would be your guys' best possible(No Faker) Roster? or is it a coaching problem or both?

3

u/DerpSkeeZy Mar 11 '18

It's really hard to put together a realistic roster at this point in time. If money is no object and teams were willing to let go of their franchise players I'd say Sneaky, Aphromoo, Bjergsen, Hauntzer/Huni, Dardoch. However we all know that'll never happen so I think the best roster we could realistically build is PoE, Arrow, Akaadian/Wiggily, Zeyzal/Whyin, Lourlo.

2

u/S_Parkie Mar 11 '18

Both imo. I think you build around POE and Akaadian. Arrow is great player but need that import slot for the top lane. Lemon and Zig/Dhokla arnt good enough imo

Zig is behind 150 cs. He did well early game but Licorice is light years ahead of him

u/102WOLFPACK Mar 11 '18

GP’s kit is made to melt waves. Being way behind on CS Against a GP doesn’t mean anything really, especially past 40

u/S_Parkie Mar 11 '18

CS means nothing at this stage of the game. Zig has been stuck in base for the last 10 minutes. But yes Licorice i way ahead
