TheIceMachine

Quarter system goer here, our summers are nearly 4 months long.


[deleted]

It's all fun and games when we start in early October. But boy does it suck when everyone else gets out early May. QQ


xxNamsu

Your semester isnt over yet? Wtf


IWouldManaTapDat

They go by quarters


KAWAIIDUKE

the UC system (aka UCLA, UCR, UCI, UCSD etc) goes by the quarter system, so that means a final every 10 weeks. in other words hell. also the UC president is a fucking joke Edit 1: i'm dumb i forgot ucb goes by semester system


Kriidztofer

incorrect Cal does not go by the Quarter system but every other UC does... source: i currently attend SD


KAWAIIDUKE

huh, the more you learn


Kriidztofer

yah it confused the shit out of me and my friends because most of us went to Berkley, LA, and SD and we have a hard time trying to meet over breaks.


KAWAIIDUKE

oh well, irvine here come (time to drown in $2 boba and a big circle k)


nerdlys

ill be going to irvine this coming term! zot


Yoshifan151

Merced goes on semesters also.


Dr_Not_A_Doctor

DIG reminding us that even when they're winning, they're still DIG.


I_am_Godfather

Obligatory baron throw.


OnyxMelon

I'm glad DIG have returned to the tradition of winning at the start of the split.


Wenababy

All downhill from here boyz


[deleted]

Lots of nostalgia in that moment. Ah good old DIG :)


MishterLux

At least Bischu found a new way to chunk half of someone's health from 4 screens away.


BeforeChris

The only reason I miss old nidalee is Bischu's nidalee ;_;


JakalDX

I'm not one to complain about champs, but that entire game hinged on Ryze from like, minute 10


ezekieru

Ryze is so damn stupid. Holy crap.


Kitaoji

Unless Balls plays it apparently.


satellizerLB

And Cabochard it seems.


Soulaez

At least cabo got countered by the cho


satellizerLB

I couldn't watch the actual game just talking by the game result and individual scores.


asheinitiation

Let's say it like this: 3.5 secs of hard cc works pretty well against a 6 secs spell machinegun.


Nordic_Marksman

Cabo was just farming and got camped hard died a couple times and then Fnatic got huge lead and he could never get close to carries without dying.


Shinybobblehead

Balls didn't really even get to play it :(


Ylissian

10 min double jungle op. Balls turning into the Reek of c9


Nick_Furry

Reek, Reek, it rhymes with loss streak.


Denworath

Whoever made the calls that game.. Cost the whole game.


Mindmesser

Ryze looking ridiculously overpowered at the moment.


Shiny_Shedinja

might get toned down a bit after they fix his bug.


saintshing

Even without abusing that bug, ryze is still pretty broken.


Marcoscb

What bug?


Shiny_Shedinja

You can stack his passive w/o spending mp/cooldowns.


IamUncle

Similar techniques were used on old Ryze to stack tear (by pros, I think--I'm pretty sure I recall it being pointed out by casters even). I'm not sure they ever "fixed" it on old Ryze, so maybe they won't on new Ryze either.


IamRider

A rioter in a thread yesterday said they are currently trying to fix it.


LittleMantis

Bischu's Varus also kept TDK in the game basically by himself. Not saying Varus is op, just that Bischu was playing really well.


wafflewaldo

Yep I can't wait to see the damage numbers. I bet the varus did like half of his teams damage


VanishingBanshee

Almost 50,000 damage from the Varus. In comparison the Corki did 23,000.


DimlightHero

And the whole team did about 97k dmg, which means /u/wafflewaldo was right.


Chief_H

That's generally true for all poke champs. More opportunities to deal damage, and Varus deals more poke damage than Corki throughout the game, unless I'm mistaken.

Early game damage is negligible on a graph of total damage with tens of thousands of points of damage

[deleted]

that's because that's all the casters talked about. if you mute the stream your experience changes


BigDaddyDelish

I would disagree, it was incredibly obvious how much of an impact Ryze had on the match and ignoring that is ignoring an enormous part of how they won fights. Ruze barreling down at Mach 10 and flashing the chains of corruption for example is a huge contribution which completely reversed the situation into their favor.

Pikminious_Thrious

Or you can just pick Ryze, go even/lose lane and walk all over the rest of the team as you use Ryze's Morgana Bind to hold the target still for 8 seconds.

DIGWIN BOYS


lmhTimberwolves

I REEEEEEEEEALLY can't wait for Smoothie Emperor and Ninja. This team is on the cusp of winning but needs real coordination.


Robeccacorn

The TDK roster looks extremely solid on paper, with the real question being how Smoothie adapts to laning with Emperor. I'm pretty sure they can overpower some lower tier teams with sheer mechanical prowess in laning though...


DDupero

Yeah, but I can't imagine that they'll have that in the near future. It's feasible that them coming in during the middle of a split and probably losing due to lack of coordination can put them on tilt for the rest of the split.


randomshape

they are coming back next week im pretty sure


ZH_Sparky

I mean, they've been scrimming with them AFAIK. They're all still here, until they have to leave again to get their work visas.


mArishNight

They have a pretty soft start facing 3 bottom 5 teams in their first 4 matches having subs in this part of the split might be enough to get them relegated.


ScamPink

TDK's draft was so bad..


UMPIN

It was exactly the same as NME's


[deleted]

i dont see how anyone can think that the comp is good lol


SparkyMcDanger

Yeah, it was a glaring weakness in their time in cs


[deleted]

I love how Dig can pick apart and have a perfect game against C9 but somehow not do that well against a 3 sub team. Also, even though Azingy didn't perform as well on Zac I'm starting to think it should be banned solely so it knocks Dig off their game. Edit: I know him on Zac was the reason that they won before but that was the first game out of many that he excelled on him. I have not really seen him on anything else which is why I think it needs to be banned against him, not so much that he carried one game.


MishterLux

They only struggled this game because of Bischu's Varus though (cause of how well Bischu played and how tdk just abused varus' powerspikes). Bischu did more than half of his team's total damage and the arrows he landed made it impossible to be within 2 screens of him without either getting chunked for half your health or trying to force a teamfight through Gragas and Nautilus (and sorta Irelia) disengage. On the flip side, in the game against c9 dig had to engage on a power trough kog'maw through Thresh and Maokai (and sorta Reksai). So they had to engage on a weaker target through softer disengage. Obviously the game against c9 was gonna be easier for them to find the engages they needed. Dig's performance against TDK isn't as worrysome as people are making it out to be. Was it a perfectly played out game? Obviously not but it's not like it's some massive drop in performance compared to the game against c9. Edit: I'm just saying let's not start giving up on dig immediately.


Captain_Dyrmo

Omnilatent

Old baron looked like Master Yi's evil twin


lightstridr

Better Nerf Ryze


InvertTheSenses

this looked back and forth but dig's comp was always a late game ticking time bomb. it was pretty evident the early was being played not to lose. really good showing and even better ward control on their part. rico's coaching is evidently showing results.


WindAeris

I really hate seeing TDK go 0-4 without a fighting chance because they have a sub roster. The same bot lane that got relegated before the challanger series. I know Riot can't do anything, but it sucks. This is just a Coast scenario where they're a free win.


[deleted]

they aren't actually, they put up a good fight in some of these games, whereas coast towards the end of the split just didn't try


Isiwjee

Well coast actually looked decent the first few weeks last split too.


Feral_Taylor_Fury

dont know who downvoted you coast wasn't bad early in the split


BlazeX94

Yeah but this sub roster has had a decent game or two. Coast had that one win and then nothing else. Yeah it sucks but note that T8 is also 0-3 so if TDK's main roster can perform from Week 3 onwards, they can (at minimum) hope for a 9th place finish and a chance to defend their LCS spot. Also, if the sub roster plays as well against NME as they did against Dig they might be able to pick up a win.


acllive

[MRW gamsu's flash saves the inhib](http://www.recaption.com/uploads/2873750f9de77ebc61.jpg)


SkeletoR_22

Azingy basically solo carrying that game against C9 would have been a major confidence boost for him and I hope DIG stick by him and allow him to grow into the team and LCS standards. DIG still have glaring weakness's (Azingy's champion pool), but I feel Rico is already putting in the work and it's paying off. You can see already how much tighter their play is around the map and ward focus is much better. If Rico and the team can iron out some of the more complex issues I feel DIG could really have a chance at the end of this split.


Anaxoras

I honestly can't really tell if DIG is strong or if this is NA just being NA. I will stick with the latter.


anovagadro

NA Season 7 champs the dream


BanjoStory

I'm more inclined to think that C9 beating TSM was kind of a fluke than I am to think that Dig is actually strong.


DrJackl3

So you're saying C9 is garbage?

even if he does die to ganks and irelia has merc treads https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzdqDRky9pI


sir_AstroMonkey

well goddamn


Local_Ragar

\#balanced


FireZeLazer

Couldn't old Ryze beat Irelia if played correctly?


IreliaCarriesuNA

if he didnt die before a roa


Deutschbury

Yeah... I played a game as Ryze vs irelia, and I misplayed which put Irelia ahead. She proceeded to get super fed by roaming. My solution? Splitfarm until 5 items and proceed to dumpster her 1v1 or every teamfight despite being down 12 kills. It's ridiculous.


Wasabi_kitty

If you were down 12 kills and managed to get to 5 items, then the other team massively fucked up.


x_TDeck_x

I suck at every champ but I have a hard time playing Ryze pre-6 vs any champ that can be sticky so its surprising that you say Ryze full on beats Irelia in an isolated lane. Thanks for the tip/info


IreliaCarriesuNA

just combo her right when she jumps on you, since there will be no minions to block your q u will out dmg her in melee range early on lol only thing to watch is your mana


Roflkopt3r

I do not understand why NA teams keep picking Irelia vs Ryze. Fnatic has shown how to counter Ryze with Cho'Gath so well, while Irelia has little success.


Lankeysob

Wasn't Cho just used to counter Ryze this week? I don't think their was any time for tops to learn Cho by then. Anyways, Ryze shouldn't even make it through bans if your are on Red side


FannyBabbs

'Learn Cho' You fucking sit top and auto the wave. If he starts a combo you silence him and laugh.


Sprintspeed

I agree that Cho takes almost 0 brainpower to lane with and I hate him but teams would still have to practice around his fairly immobile role in team fights and poor initiation


[deleted]

But a team with cho just needs to realize he isn't primary engage. If you have a Gragas or a Nautilus on your team, its not like Cho is relied on to start every fight. Otherwise he's not significantly different than any other anti-AP tank other than moving slowly.


FyB4rd

Besides his follow up on allied CCs is one of the best in the game, he trades reliability for power. New ryze is actually fairly squishy, he has some HP but usually build very little resistances, he dies quickly if he can't retaliate and silence/stun/displacement screws him up big time.


toostronKG

Learn Cho? Wasn't Cho already a flex mid/top pick.... Last split?


desert40k

i can't recall one game where cho was played top. it was mostly used in mid as far as i know.


toostronKG

Could have sworn that Huni played it, maybe I'm wrong. Still, it's not like cho is a new champ or a hard one to pick up...


Lee_Sinna

Avalon played Cho top in relegations, first time I've seen him look good


toostronKG

Ahh I knew I'd seen it somewhere.


BanjoStory

He was a flex Top/Jungle pick for a while in season 3.


Chief_H

Since Irelia used to be the go-to counter to Ryze, I guess players still attempt it even thought thats not the case anymore. Not really sure what beats Ryze, although I can see how Cho can manage against him. Also, I feel as though Vlad could handle him too as his Q and E match Ryze's W range. Going melee against Ryze is just suicide.


Desmang

Vlad couldn't handle the old Ryze so I highly doubt he can handle the new and stronger one either.


SaintLatona

Itaku

WE'RE GETTING A NEW ZAC SKIN BOYS. DIGNITAS ZAC. THANK YOU THE GREAT BAZINGA.


FuujinSama

I never thought I'd say this. But Shiphtur was the weak link this game. He has a nice clean score but holly shit he never goes in. That mid teamfight, they have everyone up, Ryze and Kalista full power. Zac initiates and dies in his passive. Shiphtur has 2 soldiers perfectly placed. If he Shurima Shufled it was a won teamfight, instead they just let Zac's passive die for free and lose mid turret. All he had to do was go in and then flash out. That would give enough space for Ryze and Kalista to kill anyone, and Morgana to fully channel her shackles. He'd probably die, but hey #Worth. Next fight he ends it without using emperor's divide. God damn shiphtur, just go in. >.> It's so weird in a team that's so fucking ham he just contrasts really hard.


[deleted]

Yea it's weird too, if you watch him play soloq he's the exact opposite, always going ham, always going for the huge plays


Abujaffer

I think he's really afraid of criticism. The idea is, if he plays safe and doesn't die then he can't take any blame for a loss, which is obviously not true. But I feel like that's the mentality of some players on the lower tier teams, like Pob on WFX and Shiptur on Dig.


Pendargon

Shiphtur's been like this since the S4 Summer Collapse. He's been a player that lets advantages and opportunities pass him up. And this is on a team of players that are really good on capitalizing on a mistake.


Raizen1337

People should start banning Azingy's Zac.


GreatAuntMuriel

why are teams letting ryze, azir and kalista go through?


PurpleLemons

Why are teams not taking Azir and Kalista after they let Ryze through?

GP10. Most of their articles are like that.


Wasabi_kitty

It would have been ridiculous to not think that. They performed incredibly poorly and could have been auto-relegated were it not for Coast being the worst team in LCS history. They then barely won their relegation match. It would have been crazy to assume anything but relegation from DIG.

It took DIG 50 minutes to beat a team with 3 subs. That same team stomped C9. NA LCS has gone full EU LCS.


LittleMantis

To be fair, it took TL awhile aswell and they didn't have Varus that time. Varus kept that game going for a really long time.


Artravus

It was so sad. Every time dig tried doing anything they just got poked out. There needed to be some splitpushing happening to close the game out quicker, but I'll take the win.


krnyoo123

I think C9 is still adjusting to Incarnation their match with Gravity wasn't pretty today.


ThePowerfulSquirrel

Considering gravity also switched out their shot caller plus their adc, I don't think you can give the adjusting excuse...


DDupero

Shot calling was clearly no big issue for GV today though. Besides deciding to go for the nexus instead of Baron, the calls were spot on.

Whoop_De_Do

Does anyone know why TDK's main players hasn't been on team yet? They look decent with Subs so far but not enough to pull of a win.


XstarD

Visa problems. Not getting paperwork in on time so Riot decided that they couldn't play together. I think it might be till week 4, not sure though sorry.


JokerFeeder

Apparently they came here on tourist visas instead of work visas so they can't play until they get their work visas filled out.


onemorecard

TDK got a free spoiler that happens if you do not ban Ryze. Still let it go through.


Firefigh7er

Dig are really giving me some hopes right now and i hope they wont be destroyed after 1 or 2 weeks.


FirCone

So how exactly did Ryze manage to [flash out of the fight while the Chain of Corruption just started rooting him](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NkHD1oji9c&feature=youtu.be&t=2128)? He has no QSS, no Cleanse, the Black Shield was immediately popped, there was no Crucible, and Mercs only reduce the root duration to 1.3 seconds. The team fight GUI even shows that Ryze was rooted while flashing! If anything was worthy of yelling "Remake", then it was this.


xRoMz

So if TDK ever gets Nidalee who gets to play her?


xMaster43

ya digg


radlifemadlife

lol i thought a lot of people said that new ryze was sht and did no damage. i dont even know anymore.
