    They were talking about Shen, who has been laning against Kennen and who was rushing Sunfire.
    Which is still dumb because he should be rushing Shurelia's, since teamfights are going to come down to whether he can land clean taunts.

    Sunfire is pretty standard on Shen because he's gonna be splitpushing half the game and he needs the additional waveclear

    I don't even care if it's a good idea. I won't buy mana regen items on manaless champions (except for sometimes spirit stone stuff). It's just wrong.

    Xelnath is throwing down the gauntlet on Yorick. It only took 2 years of him being the most bullshit champion in the game, but better late than never I guess!

    They were trying to spin it as an advantage for shen, that kennen had not built for teamfights at all.

    But whatevs, curse wins due to a mix of smart play and velocity not knowing what to do.

    Buying Sheen on Akali got me used to the idea of wasting gold on worthless stats. :-(

    Curse is trying their very, very hardest to lose this game.

    It's absolutely infuriating to watch.

    EDIT: Fuck. That was horseshit. Why the hell would you trade an inhibitor for your goddamn Nexus?

    So I guess Curse is now officially the worst team in NA, thus basically the worst team in the LCS / Season 3. Oh, how the mighty.

    That was a great game, but a better throw.

    *Edit* This is my first season watching from the start and the first time there's a MLG event. Does this happen often? I miss the normal weekly schedule.

    I think that the location codes for MLG's streams are mixed up. I just got some adds for Bommarito Mazda in Missouri.

    Lich Bane AP Kayle is a thing, there's a guide on solomid and everything. Between QWE it's very easy to get the procs off. It's less good now that she lost the damage amp, but eh.

    I hate everything about the buying of runes.

    I'd throw some money at the shop just to have a full set and never have to worry about it again. But that is of course counter to the point of Riot making money?

    Bleh, I enjoy playing Yorick, and its fucking annoying to see the Dev's start a thread like that and it takes 8 pages before anyone even mentions that you can counterpick Yorick in toplane with Nasus (and no one even mentions countering him with Cho'gath), or build your team to counter him (Blue Ezreal, Nidalee).

    Anyone is counterable. Whether it is fuckoff boring for 9 other people involved is the issue here. Hint: It almost always is.

    Yes, but you main ADC, he's not that annoying in teamfights. He's just generally a pain in the ass for his lane opponent during laning.

    If he doesn't start boots, gank him mercilessly. If he does start boots, he has pretty low sustain so its just a matter of picking a champ that wont be harassed out of lane before Yorick goes oom, which is Cho'gath / Nunu / Nasus. A well played Jayce / Nidalee (post 6) / Riven are all really strong against him too (possibly Trynd & Aatrox too). Which means he's counterable in lane and doesn't have a strong teamfight presence by your own words, so I'm not sure why we aren't talking about buffing him. He also has low enough movement speed that he wont be roaming for ganks.

    Yorick has low sustain? Now that's the first I've heard of that. Also a base 15% movement speed steroid and a really potent slow ghoul.

    I jungle main. Ganking him is a pain in the ass. If the Yorick isn't smart enough to harrass with healing ghouls and keep his other two for escape, then he's dumb but will probably still get away.

    If a Yorick is top lane, on either side, I just tell them good luck I'm camping bottom lane because that island is boring.

    Without a tear when facing Nasus / Nunu / Cho'gath, Yorick will run OOM before those champs are low on HP for him to be able to push them out, which leaves him prime for ganking. By the time he has tear, they should be able to outsustain him.

    Yes, you can counterpick him, but he has absolutely no counterplay. Either you have enough sustain to survive him in lane, or you don't. That is what makes him so awful. He is an abomination who should not exist at all, and he wouldn't except Riot was extremely rushed when they created him, and then couldn't be bothered to do anything about it after they buffed him into being playable.

    For the record, this one particular time I laned against Yorick (before the Worlds nerfs) is possibly the angriest I have ever gotten at this game.

    Jungling against Nunu isn't bad, either.

    Its not fun.

    There is a world of difference.

    Laning against Jayce isn't 'bad', neither is Nidalee. neither is a Draven/Janna lane, honestly. It's just not fun.

    In the end, Riot worries a lot about what is fun in the game, because people don't enjoy the game if it isn't fun. Surprising.
