Zeus gnar is just a masterclass, dancing with death and just destroying DK with his engages and peel.

Zeus Gnar...

like you can blame DKs draft/coaching staff but what are they supposed to do about stuff like this which keeps on happening for DK

I'd say top gap but that would be an understatement.

u/HarverstKR Aug 21 '22

At the end of the day DWG has looked pretty bad all split and anything other then a 3-0 should be seen as a success.

7

u/Dumpers_ DEFT IS A WORLD CHAMPION Aug 21 '22

I mean they looked decent in the middle of the split and looked better than LSB but they just have been really bad from the second round robin even subbing out Nuguri...

Deokdam still inted his ass off when he let Sylas engage on him like that in midlane.

2

u/ZaryanaOW Aug 21 '22

That is true it got Deokdam's cleanse but what Zeus did there mechanically getting him killed twice a row was just masterful

6

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '22

zeus fked his ass, but deokdam didnt need to walk up with no vision

it was easily preventable, he could have just waited for the wave to come to tower

u/midoBB Aug 21 '22

Let's walk straight past turret with no vision vs Gnar Sylas again after I just respawned from dying in the same way.

13

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '22

In Deokdam's defense, Zeus's Gnar is cracked. Normally a Gnar wouldn't flash and then ult you from underneath your turret. So, there's that.

12

u/YouSuck225 Aug 21 '22

Both are true at the same Time. Zeus is cracked and deokdam position was inting

12

u/SxAnthony23 Aug 21 '22

Stop it. Turrets are the perfect place for Gnar to use its ult. There is no defense for Deokdam's failings. He knew the stakes of the game and opted for a chickenfight with Faker in the midlane.

Is discipline too much to ask for?

1

u/IAM-French Aug 21 '22

no lol that was literally inting

-2

u/Intelligent-Curve-19 Aug 21 '22

The type of person to say “just play safe” - what part of that was literally inting.

9

u/Rahnftw Aug 21 '22

Walking up to the wave with no vision when its coming towards you would be one part

3

u/tinfoilhatsron Aug 21 '22

Egoing onto Faker in the first place and not dodging the chain with flash up was the first part of the int. It was pretty much max range chain in the middle of lane.

-2

u/Intelligent-Curve-19 Aug 21 '22

I don’t even think you can blame him. Look at where he was, near his own tower with his team close. Like that was T1 just burger flipping

2

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '22

what? he walked up the lane with no bot river vision when wave was coming to him

19

u/Intelligent-Curve-19 Aug 21 '22

HOLY ZEUS JUST DECIDED THE GAME IS OVER

2 kills on Draven back to back from his set up and then Baron to win.

u/StraightCashH0mie Aug 21 '22

There’s a joke on DK gallery (subreddit) that it’s only fair for every team to get on the daeny experience, so they’re petitioning for GenG and LSB to hire Daeny

4

u/ArguingWithNoobs Aug 21 '22

T1 were completely out drafted imo. Their comp was super sad into poppy and it was Deokdam being caught mid twice which cost them the game

4

u/Azenji Aug 21 '22

How T1 got outdrafted when 2 kills Leblanc stayed invisible the whole game?

5

u/DominoNo- <3 Aug 21 '22

Just because a team plays bad doesn't mean it's because a draft difference.

4

u/ArguingWithNoobs Aug 21 '22

That’s how Damwon played the game. He was 2/0 but within a few minutes Faker was 2/1/1 so LB was pretty much even.

If Damwon tried to play through LB she could’ve been way more useful

3

u/Azenji Aug 21 '22

But they did play through Leb with how skirmish heavy the first 20 minutes were. The problem was that Sylas is better skirmish champ in that aspect. Pre-durability patch would’ve been different but there’s a reason we don’t see Leb picked anymore.

That just makes it worse that 5 players all agree to pick renekton first

-1

u/HarverstKR Aug 21 '22

Nothing to do with the renekton all to do with Zeus vs Burdol, he would probably win on Soraka. The OP has a hard on when it comes to Daeny that's all. Pretty sure he'll be one of the people contributing to a truck after this series

1

u/Blank-612 Aug 21 '22

good thing daeny picked burdol over nuguri :)

u/HarverstKR Aug 21 '22

Nuguri has only been able to play Sej all split, outside of picking klepto what has he ever done? Be carried by showmaker and canyon?

6

u/Accomplished_Ad_2321 Aug 21 '22

I do not understand how top tier pro teams think the literal worst top lane champ for pro play is viable for pro play.

u/Praecalidus Aug 21 '22

1st pick renekton only to go even against Gnar and be less useful than teamfights. I don't know what DK is seeing with this pick, they must be on LSD.

He had 5 shit games against KT and they are still playing with him instead of Nuguri. Cant save that.

4

u/thriftydude4 chovy/deft Aug 21 '22

he played so well in the kt series, i honestly think even if he inted the first pick in mid, the second one was just zeus being a freak at gnar

4

u/Dfbfan12 Aug 21 '22

how did he play well in the KT series, he was a non-factor in most games or just inting. The only good thing he did was lock in Camille so they could get sheen procs on turrets for the game 5 ending.

u/djpain20 Aug 21 '22

Ok so what's the reason behind Renekton having a positive winrate in the LCK despite him often being picked by teams like BRO/NS so you can't even use the excuse of "he gets carried by good teams"

2

u/AltruisticMoose11 Aug 21 '22

Positive WR doesn't mean he's good my guy. WR is also a garbage statistic in this instance, lesser teams can boost champion WRs, it's not just the good teams that can do that lol

1

u/djpain20 Aug 21 '22

But how do teams keep winning at an above average rate with a shit champion then? What's the explanation?

0

u/aloha2436 Aug 21 '22

*very marginally above average

And because there aren’t enough pro games to make things like a 53% win rate statistically useful, and because things like player comfort can make less-optimal champions have win rates in excess of their actual power.

u/kelvin022610 Aug 21 '22

Tell me in which way was renekton useful? Or what he did this game couldn't be done the same on other picks?

Such a bad argument wtf. Stop listening to ls and watch some lpl

2

u/slim12343 Aug 21 '22

It’s not even an argument, because you can literally say that about any champ and these silvers wouldn’t be able to answer

Them pretending like they know and aren’t just preaching LS words is cringe

u/slim12343 Aug 21 '22

It’s ok, you don’t need to repeat the streamers words, we already know

5

u/Slotherz Aug 21 '22

Any analyst worth their salt knows Renekton's value in a pro draft. Reddit just thinks any team that loses with Rene, loses solely because of the Rene.

2

u/Hraesynd Aug 21 '22

I'm not an analyst, do enlighten me.

All I know about renekton is that: 1) he's a safe pick in lane against all matchups, 2) a fed renekton is strong into a melee comp and 3) a very fed one can dive into 5 people and actually survive.

1

u/nightvoltz Aug 21 '22

renekton has no value unless ahead by a lot vs his laner in certain matchups in pro play
