TSM new mid laner

Also I talk back all at said from Sivir. She is quite strong.

Her Ult is decent utility actually. Huge movespeed buff. Can escape and help initiate with it.
I also think the new model cause people to seriously look at her.

Just goes to show was is written is not what it seems in practice. Nice rework.

Still miss old Sivir that can split push for days. She was fun to play.

She split pushes really well now, not sure what you’re implying

I agree. I just miss the damn toggle.

What do we think about TSM now that Regi isn’t holding them back? After this year’s playoffs, I’m not ready to say they’re competing with any Asian teams just yet, but they’re definitely better.

no rainman, no wins. know rainman, know wins.

Is this a thread about league of legends or esports?

I’ve been playing mobas for like 7 or 8 years now, (dota->hon->league->hon->league) and I’m tempted to switch to dota. I only play casually, and only ARAM at that, but I’m just getting so frustrated with flash. All of these horrible players I play with/against have no sense of positioning, but they have free blink dagger so it doesn’t matter.

I got caught out of position? Better blink dagger to safety!

I’m not in a good position to help during this team fight? BLINK DAGGER AHOY!

It’s only made worse with how flash doesn’t even have the blink dagger penalty of no blinking within 3 seconds of damage from an enemy hero/champion (ignore whichever word offends you).

Does anyone else feel this frustration?

I am much surprised they didn’t make this move any sooner.

Regi is just not that good competitively speaking. I am sure he would wreck us amateurs for sure.

I didn’t really like the fact that he wasn’t that good and he was the shot caller. I think Xspecial should be their shotcaller.
Most shot callers are the supports anyways for good reasons.

We have to see if they can synergize well. I think they have higher potential now. But TSM is just not serious enough nor the NA scene. We are happy solo Queing and trolling then actually getting better.

I think NA will surpass Europe this coming split except for maybe Fnatic (they’ll prob be best western team still)

Maybe people in the DotA thread do, I wouldn’t know.

It’s a different game, dunno what to tell you. Work around the 5 minute CD on Flash and come after them again.

masteries + distortion boots = 3min cd on flash. godsend during leona free weeks

or maybe you play Annie/Skaner

For me, the problem is exacerbated by the fact that so many newer champions have built in mobility to their kits. It can be frustrating, but there’s not really much anyone can do about it.

Regarding TSM, it’s not clear. Who will call their shots now? Xpecial? Unless the entire team just meshes well right away, I imagine there will be growing pains which may prevent them from seeing instant success. Their team also has other issues that tend to be overshadowed by the Reginald discussions. For example, listening to an interview with Xpecial, he essentially revealed that OddOne, any time he ganks, basically needs to be told when to gank, who to gank, what angle to come from, when to go, etc. I’m not talking about information such as “there’s wards here, don’t come that way,” but basically having to command him and tell him how to do his job. How can you be a pro jungler and not already know how to do these things yourself?

Even though I dislike C9, I’m glad teams like them came along (as well as Vulcun) and showed just how relatively shitty the entrenched “top teams” in NA are. I don’t want to speculate too much as to why the Asians and some European teams consistently blow NA out of the water, but I can’t see it being much different this season.

How about that Heimer…

He’s finally not poo and he doesn’t require infinite mana anymore.
His turrets are a little dumb though.

If Xpecial is calling shots, probably still better than Regi. Aside from just getting straight up outplayed by other mid laners, he tends to stop making calls when games are going sour for him. A new play caller will benefit them just as much as a new mid laner.

Why are people acting as if Regi is the only reason that TSM weren’t winning big?

there are probably 5 different reasons tsm hasnt done shit in a while. theyre nothing more than a s1 clg na but for s2. havent done shit since then and were only good when nobody knew how to play. now struggling to even be relevant. trm4lyfe

TRM’s 5 dorans blade teemo was ahead of its time.

He is just easy to blame us all. It isn’t the only reason.

For example, most top teams focused dyrus actually. He didn’t get much help from jungle as well. Huge lack of synergy.

C9 has better synergy. I think TSM is individually better than C9 overall. Synergy can get you quite far.

C9 and Curse will rule NA. Not sold on turtle, or Dyrus doing well.

I think TSM got a lot better Bjerg is an amazing mid he was the Zed I would always watch. It is true they will need to find a shot caller but I think Xpecial can do it. Regi as a coach should be solid. C9 will not be as dominant and Curse will suck hard at the start because they won’t have solid synergy yet too many changes. They may end up strong by the end so just don’t bottom 2.
