actually incredibly how many teams just win by perma grouping after 25 minutes nowadays. Absolutely fried vits brains.

against cait you must abuse her weakeness on in between 3-4 items. if it goes long you just lose

u/Ajp_iii Jul 24 '26
kc was winning early and then vitality got the game back and did nothing with it so now cait is full build and the most op champ in the game

yeah eu is just trash. no way should vitality be winning this game and then no way that is how you setup baron.
its like eu is clueless if they want to turn or burst baron. either is a better chance than just standing around waiting.

we're seeing mages in bot lane but is anyone ready for farming Yuumi

Medic making a really good point about how damaging Camille is to the meta and the desk just being like 'skill issue' kinda infuriated me
1
u/Ajp_iii Jul 24 '26
i mean it kinda is skill issue. sometimes it pops off other times it does nothing the whole game. it wouldnt matter what support vitality was playing they were playing bad as a team. its not nearly as banned as much as some other champs in opening game even thought its basically always picked game 1. there are 5 champs with a much higher prioscore than camille.

u/sjokz Jul 24 '26
Just ragebaiting him sorry he had good points!!

Aw no problem then, ragebaiting Medic is what life is all about
3
u/MedicCasts Medic Jul 24 '26
I didn't feel like they laughed it off, but maybe it came across that way on camera. I felt that we'd discussed the merits of the pick and explored why I think it falls towards op rather than counterable and balanced.
2
u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist Jul 24 '26
I forget you guys follow the thread sometimes, its nice to get clarification out of nowhere, thanks Medic

u/AH_Elric Jul 24 '26
Team Liquid could pick Teemo and would still gigastomp VIT.
Also I refuse to believe that Lyncas is a challenger player. Had like 0 good games since coming to LEC.
3
u/Pilvikas Jul 24 '26
Lyncas is always top 50~ in chall on soloq, met him couple times he's really good in soloq
7
u/Back2Perfection Jul 24 '26
The replay lmfao.
Camille:
get cass flash. Full hp
fight jarvan on wolves, chunking him and resetting the camp. Still full hp
chunk FleShy. Still about 90% hp
revisit cass and kill her
What the actual fuck.
2
u/Pilvikas Jul 24 '26
So Fiesta is still exactly the same player that Nemesis flamed during LR VS SUPA, brainless aggression
2
2
u/Past-Firefighter2173 Jul 24 '26
This game was kinda over with map plays. I think its better wait few more series to see how Fiesta will do.
2
u/Pilvikas Jul 24 '26
I just think with current meta and overall having coinflipping midlaner is really tilting for supp/jgl
0
u/Bubbly_Camera9583 Jul 24 '26
Tbf this game he was fine. I expected worse going into Kyeahoo but he forced out a few flashes and had his solo kill moment. Main issue was just Camille/Fleshy being gapped.
3
u/Pilvikas Jul 24 '26
I disagree, you should check wave states etc during this game kyeahoo was outplaying him hard whole game
0
u/Bubbly_Camera9583 Jul 24 '26
I mean I skimmed through the first 15 mins where wavestates matter the most again and it looked fine/normal. It just pingponged between the two for prio and any attempted freeze by either was broken instantly. For a counterpick lane + Busio diff Fiesta held his own well.

u/SpecificSilver1023 KNIGHT's vow Jul 24 '26
what are the odds we lose naak nako in the off season

u/Back2Perfection Jul 24 '26
The funniest thing about this is how the fuck do you nerf camille sup without completely killing top camille?
2
u/Past-Firefighter2173 Jul 24 '26
Camille is another case but mage bot meta is happening because roaming is too powerful. They need to balance mindless roaming somehow. I'm not saying lets go back to enchanter meta but this is too much.
2
u/Pilvikas Jul 24 '26
make it that support quest goess back -1 -2 etc after you do not show up bot for 30-45secs
2
u/FootFungusYummies Jul 24 '26
How do they get Camille out of support but keep her viable top? That champ is just a menace.
2
5
u/Ajp_iii Jul 24 '26
its fun to laugh at support solo killing jungle. but camille has no normal support abilities. so many fighters would win that trade. j4 doesnt do sustained damage and missed a combo in the fight. and its ignite difference.
it would be like any jungler winning a 1v1 down 2k gold if j4 misses his abilities and starts low hp and gets ignited.
1
u/Kelsac Jul 24 '26
I dont understand do riot not see a problem with having mages bot? Are they trying to get rid of adc?
1
u/Past-Firefighter2173 Jul 24 '26
If Fleshy and Lyncas played bit better VIT could've actually had chance with these comps.
4
7
u/Ajp_iii Jul 24 '26
he started a fight 70% hp. missed an eq combo and got ignited. that isnt that crazy. its not a true support she has damage items.
elise would have killed j4 also

Hopefully fnatic steps up so we don't make playoffs and they blow this team up

u/Ajp_iii Jul 24 '26
kc can pick any tower, noct ult tf ult camille dive and win the game. i dont know why they have done nothing for like 8 minutes.

u/doomsdaysock01 Jul 24 '26
The crowd noise combined with every match being fiesta really helps the viewers understand that this meta is anarchy
1
u/Ajp_iii Jul 24 '26
BRO ITS UP 9K in a 5v4 how cant these teams do baron. lec objective setup is so behind the east and it was one of the big problems at msi
1
u/beautheschmo Jul 24 '26
Tbh Vit's comp is WAY stronger lategame, they have way better poke, better DPS and just generally stronger teamfighting.
Meta shenanigans aside, smashing early game is KC comp's main wincon I don't think it's that crazy for Vit's comp to still be pressuring them even from a large deficit
1
u/fabregas142 Jul 24 '26
VITs comp is shit late game when KC got 4 ocean dra. their poke is nothing vs ocean soul with 4 dra

GM and honestly whoever makes important decisions at this org needs to be fired ASAP, what happened to cleaning house if they didn't make worlds in 2025
2
u/Bubbly_Camera9583 Jul 24 '26
VIT are gonna have huge issues with this support meta if Riot doesn’t change anything. Fleshy is just worse Delight, he can find good engage angles but kinda just falters at everything else.
3
1
u/doomsdaysock01 Jul 24 '26
Curious how riot will try to change support role quests to incentivize staying in lane, feel like this meta is the natural evolution of how the meta was changing ever since role quests came out
1
u/Ajp_iii Jul 24 '26
they can just buff some adcs early game lane power. stuff like ez, lucian, cait are all still insane in the current meta. kaisa is also great because she spikes so hard on 2 items and gets a free lane so they can also buff other adcs 2 item spikes. like a couple tristana buffs and trist should be able to do great
1
u/Back2Perfection Jul 24 '26
Another option would be looking into lost chapter nerfs. If mages can‘t afk waveclear post 1st b it would also go a long way.
2
u/Ajp_iii Jul 24 '26
yeah making it so they cant one cycle the waves and need to like auto minions would make it possible to dive mages easier.
or just lower adcs early level mana cost. they go oom so much faster and the mages never go oom
2
u/trying2hide Jul 24 '26
Isn't this happening because they pretty much buffed the support quest? Seems like nerfing it to worse than a revert fixes this if Riot doesn't like this.
1
u/doomsdaysock01 Jul 24 '26
It would help, but I feel like “support constantly roams” has gotten progressively stronger ever since role quests came out
1
3
u/Ajp_iii Jul 24 '26
the other thing about the constant support jungle roams is it gets into everyones mind to fight everything. so people are more willing to take 1v1 sidelane flips and try to outplay.
when the game slows down everyone gets into the mindset of i cant make a mistake so everyone plays so much safer.

People who watch LCK/LPL, are their games like this as well? Is this really the meta now?
1
u/Back2Perfection Jul 24 '26
LCK starts next week.
LPL started today but I‘ll have to rewatch the games to know :D
3
u/Ajp_iii Jul 24 '26
less just full ints. less complete mechanical mistakes but yes just as much fighting. they setup drake teamfights better than the lec has though in these two games.
lpl is averaging 33 kills a game, msi and ewc also average 33 kills a game. so i guess thats about the number for the meta

Make it so that supports get -80% experience if they're not close to their botlaner before level 6 :)

u/Bubbly_Camera9583 Jul 24 '26
Why merc tread rush isn’t steelcaps just infinitely better for naak nako in this lane even if theres so much CC
1
u/Back2Perfection Jul 24 '26
Tf stun is roughly 3 business days + syndra + viktor so I kinda get it.
1
u/Ajp_iii Jul 24 '26
think he doesnt want steelcaps because syndra and camille, tf gold later. but dont know why he rushed mercs
1
u/beautheschmo Jul 24 '26
He's there to teamfight and the lane is not that hard for Gnar, mercs will have infinitely more value into a double AP comp in fights
1
u/Bubbly_Camera9583 Jul 24 '26
The thing is with Gnar he’ll have the option of Wits so with wits + Steelcaps he’ll never really get punished cc wise while still not taking damage.

u/Snow-27 Jul 24 '26
This is infinitely worse than laneswaps ever were, this is genuinely unwatchable

league finally becomes a true moba where its a team game and not just a 1v1 lane simulator. its why i always loved dota. everygame felt unique and different where the whole map was always played around.

u/DesignerAd414 Jul 24 '26
Can't agree more. It's like the early game is just about roaming supports and jungle invades, nothing else matters

its funny how much viewers complain about camille but it isnt winning that many games and is very rarely ever banned in first game.
1
u/Not_Going_to_Survive Jul 24 '26
It's not about if she's winning or not - she makes the game unfun for players and viewers alike

u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp Jul 24 '26
Dying in the first 2 minutes of your debut LEC game sure is a welcoming.

u/Back2Perfection Jul 24 '26
So let me get this straight: camille successfully 1v1s the jarvan and has enough left in the tank to help kill the cassio?
How is this champ not prio ban for whoever doesn‘t firstpick?
1
u/Tim-Pouce Jul 24 '26
Because it's easy to counter her and if she is not very well played early she become useless really fast, trust me Busio know well about this
2
u/Snow-27 Jul 24 '26
cheers man botlaners genuinely do not matter at all and supports decide the game by themselves level 1

Fiesta when he was on Supermassive was always strong laner but i don't know if his other qualities are lec caliber. I recall SUP's coach saying that some LEC mids were 1v1 praticing with him. But its definetly tough first match.

I'm so happy for Perkz, folllowing him since G2 debuts and having him back is wonderful! The hate, the controversies, the talent, the narratives....love him or hate him, this is what lec and G2 was missing aside from the KC vs MKOI rivalry! we need fire and chaos and Perkz just delivered!gg to G2, gg to MKOI and gl to KC...thank you for making the league interesting again...whoever wins, I'll be happy!

Caps player of the series feels like a bit of a stretch.
On the other hand I really couldn‘t say anyone really outshined him.
Elyoya once again is dragging 3 anchors tied to his nuts tho.
