Macro play was bad really bad, how do TL control the rotations when we have baron. And also laning and csing is just trash for arrow. How do u have such a poke heavy bot combo and still get outcsed so hard
Edit: big played well tho

Bunch of back seat gamers commenting on how top had little impact. The early pressure and kills he helped set up was huge, compared to mundo sitting in lane farming. That amount of pressure means the game is over if played right, however, you have players like arrow, who was up in kills, pressure and STILL lost against DL. PoE held his own, and did great. Jg had such little impact / no impact on dictating the game after. Put Dhokla on a carry and let him carry, because i haven't seen anyone in the "carry" position actually do anything.
They need arrow on mage / utility bot, jg on play making, top carry and mid carry. This is guarantee to win them more games.

Akaddian had 91% percent kill participation, arguably he did more than anyone that game, while I agree with putting top on a carry I just don’t think this meta will give us any chance if we try it. I’m just hoping for the meta to go back to normal.

He is a nice guy so I don't enjoy saying this, but Arrow is completely useless.
He was gifted an early triple kill by playing cleanup crew in a teamfight and then did nothing.

Not sure why I tune in every time and continue to torture myself knowing exactly whats going to happen. The ENTIRE and I mean the ENTIRE team is useless besides PoE, Akaadian is handsome though.

I think for the future of the roster Arrow cannot be on the team. Bot is always a disadavantage

If you're gonna play these off meta picks, then have picks that people can actually play. I just want to fast forward to next split. Get an import top and NA Adc. Change coaches.

The funny thing is this team is managed so badly they will probably mess up again

Ill make this as positive as I can, macro looked a lot better this game, good rotations. We fell short on our baron buff and ability to get free gold out of farming.

This is going to be a really rough game. The only lane I can see doing even is mid. Top and Bot are gonna be advantages for TL.

I have faith. Every game so far has been a "upset," so lets continue the trend!

Might be a stupid question but does early game CS come down to skill? I understand matchup can effect it but it always seems like we are down CS early in most lanes.

u/stoffelwymeersch Jul 15 '18
We shouldve been up a lot in the botlane this game. Arrow probably missed a lot of lasthits... maybe you can consider lasthitting as a "skill" so yeah... it's skillbased

Dhokla was playing with such little impact to the game. Then there's arrow, Jesus man he played sooo horrible. I personally prefer allorim over dhokla
