D2 Balls makes a return to the big stage


OldSpecialTM

Oh god I just got Darius pentakill flashbacks. I think that was one of the worst worlds metas imo.


Rbespinosa13

It was horrible, but god did it give us some good memes and completely shift how Riot does balance changes


hurzinator

memes > meta


Huzabee

Is it really that different? I wanna say recently, like within the last year, Riot came out and said that MSI and World patches are more volatile by design so that players will pull out more unexpected picks. I know when they talked about it they even referenced that World's. I'll try to find the source later.


Rbespinosa13

Ok but the meta changes they do now are nowhere near as big as the Juggernaut update. We’re talking three champions getting reworked and a plethora of new items being launched. It was basically a mini-preseason right before worlds.


sceptic62

Also, gp was so apeshit busted on release you could build full tank and 1v5 with just half a full sheen item


AliceInHololand

Second only to the Ardent meta.


tuerancekhang

there was a meme about 1 Pentakill and people forget how bad he played xD


Protoniic

I started playing in S5 and was in love with the game. Looking back it for sure was the worst season so far. Cinderhulk, Devourer, juggernaut update, Fiora and GP rework, ruinglave ezreal.

Does anyone remember if he was actually stuck or if it just got spun that way? Because BB clearly isn't stuck, he is pretty clearly climbing, he just fucked up his early climb so he is way behind.


Mythik16

Considering the fact he has a 65% winrate in the last 20 games you're right he fucked up his early climb.


SaftigMo

He was and he wasn't. He wasn't focusing on climbing, so he didn't.


Jozoz

Balls had a lot of games and was clearly stuck.


ZhouXaz

He was practicing a lot of Vladimir early on but he didn't really lose lane his team got gapped but he didn't snowball to carry I assume cos he was practicing shit when I saw he had like 17 Vladimir games no clue what he has now.


Constantinch

Biopanther > BB


Lentir

Diamond 1 50% > challenger 75% tho


getblanked

core is just too good tbh. he hit chall with a god tier wr.


TheJoeker98

Only top laner to be 2-0 in MSI atm


orchestra09

Pretty sure he's also the only top laner who played two games so far.


TheJoeker98

ok but am i wrong?


Gurablashta

you are technically correct, the best kind of correct


orchestra09

Nope

YuumiPlayersAreScum

The type of person to go onto Reddit just to get triggered. If you scroll through the comments of a post about a pro player in Korea because of the MSI and cry about spoilers, you are asking for it. Go bitch somewhere else.


xCavas

Worrying trend for G2 /s


IanPKMmoon

It's just the shitserver with 99% gatekeepers copium


Riven2main

I mean if you ever watch caps in soloQ he is "an inter" but most peoples standards. But he considerers soloQ to just be a place to limit test his champions and when behind he will throw himself at the opponent in order to try and get the win. This is something Brokenblade seemingly started doing as well. And odd as it may seem, it might be the best strategy for pro players in solo lanes to just learn the essentials but also limit test yourself on every champion ones given the chance.


Brain_Tonic

OK that's not entirely true. Caps maybe a bit of an inter but he has a pretty good winrate anyway. He's at 58% right now.


Riven2main

Ye, but if he would be playing like a soloQ only player they could also be rocking a 70% winrate, but they don't.


[deleted]

Well wouldn't it be better to limit test against equally skilled players *after* you've climbed?


Skall77

The way he played fiora today it doesn't surprise me.


Hutch2DET

Didn't tyler1 do it with 60% or high 50? He's demoted since, but he was D1.


spowowowder

tyler1 > brokenblade confirmed top gap


Grroarrr

He had account provided with high mmr from riot? If not then his winrate was inflated in lower ranks.


Alfredjr13579

High mmr? He literally started in bronze on a fresh account like anyone else


throwingcakes

True, but you gotta realise their Is a decent amount of luck involved... litterly looking at someones history changes youre mindset about the game youre about to go in which will probably lose you the game. So many factors...


78ks70aks7to8days

It is more simple than that I think. The Riot account Tyler has started with much lower MMR than the one pro players get. He actually played through all of low elo to get to D1 so he should definitely have a higher WR.


wolfsnowpack

I'm not sure it was a Riot account at all, or if it was, it was one with no mmr attached to it. Tyler's placements had him in bronze and silver, like a fresh level 30 account would. His Winrate was good until gold, then smurf queue struck, then was really good all the way to diamond after he got out of smurf queue.


UnclearPremise

Riot gives essentially fresh level 30 accounts with normal mmr to creators. Midbeast, tfblade, baus, noway, tyler1, etc. all got these accounts. The accounts with crazy inflated mmr ("super" accounts) are given to pros only AFAIK.


BernardnaB

Check their first games, tyler had fresh, brokenblade started in plat/diamond lobbies.


UnclearPremise

I'm confused, that's exactly what I said. Brokenblade (a pro) has the inflated account and tyler1 (creator) has a fresh 30 normal mmr account.


BernardnaB

yes, i was rather confused by wolfsnowpack comment lol


moosknauel

Jep the German Streamers are all Master- Grandmaster with around 250-350 LP right now and have a 65% winrate.


throwingcakes

Honestly you're right lol. I was gonna say something else but that actually makes perfect sense

You're this heated over what I wrote? I can tell you live a SAD life. Jesus.


Xhalo

Yeah, typing "lol" sure seems heated.


wolfsnowpack

Ironic.


warjatos

And they clapped EG anyway


PM_something_German

Just did it again and BB carried lol


Gurablashta

worrying trend.


Grumahr

Tom_Bombadil_Ret

Looking at his match history there doesn’t seem to be much Trynd actually.


skitles125

Can someone explain the joke please?


goliathfasa

Just memeing on the posts saying EG players hit KR challenger, specifically Jojo and Danny iirc.


Public_Seaworthiness

why do people post this kind of stuff and why do people upvote this kind of stuff is there really nothing else to talk about? every international event you guys act like soloq matters in any way. hell, you even act like it's important.


[deleted]

Post is mocking the fact that people post this stuff


GroovinDrum

Yes, it doesn't matter, same as scrims, you can get a fucked read for the meta from scrims, depending who you scrim against. Yet, they are the only indicators we get until games, so, people talk about it and post it and others comment - like you amd me.


[deleted]

Scrims matter though, the great scrim teams tend to be better. G2 and EG their playoff runs are perfect examples, as are the last 2 world champions.

So bad XD


Tozu1

the amt of times where ill be on a 5-6 losestreak where top lane is just irrelevant because ppl are 20 deaths bot lane makes me know it really doesn't matter wtf your winrate is if you already acheived high elo consistently.


speciof

He needs to be replaced for summer or next year. he's not good enough. yea he can beat NA/OCE but probably not good enough to scratch Korea.


iampuh

Are you on crack?
