The Team 8 vs Curse Academy games delivered yesterday and was as good as anticipated, really good viewing. Team 8 ran the exact same Nocturne team comp they did in their semi finals 3 games in a row against CA, right until CA finally decided to ban Nocturne but T8 won 3-1 anyway. T8's strategy relied on having a dive heavy top laner, mid laner and a hard scaling adc; then Nocturne just builds full tank and ults in whenever there's an opportunity. They were playing so well together, everytime Nocturne would ult the top laner would teleport undetected and flank them. The more I looked at their team comp the more amazed I was at how perfect it was, usually Nocturne builds damage and dies instantly but there he was super useful. By comparison the other team had no synergy, they relied on Zilean ult and that's it. The games were really eventful too, although T8 played solid they were behind at first and only a Saintvicious throw in game 2 swung the momentum to T8's favor and allowed them to coast to victory. You can never get enough Saintvicious tears.
I bet we'll see more Nocturne team comp out of T8 in their relegation tournament, unless it's permabanned.

Pretty sure I saw noc in the regionals too, Im pretty sure it was IWillDominate. God I love watching his picks.
Teams have tooled around with protect the carry comps so I think dive comps have gotten pretty popular. Mid laners better start practicing assassins again! And Im amazed Jax has not been picked more for this reason. Is Lulu that good against him? I'm amazed Noc is getting picks for pro matches but Vi is not. I guess the added vision control is what makes the difference? I know crumbzz was running noc a bit solely for vision.
And I fucking love that Kha'zix turns out to still be a strong pick, he suits my jungle style and it turns out the reason he was out of favor was irrelevant to me, because I was trash at managing hks damage redcution anyways. Hilarious to see Kha and Rango actually in meta at the same time. The hunt is on! #TeamKha

Whens the last time two champs came out this close in a row? I wonder if it was planned or if Gnar was that underwhelming. Even Vel'koz seemed more popular on release.
Also, ascensions game mode? I didnt see that mentioned but maybe Surrenderat20 missed it or I did. Will Azir be on the patch for worlds?
EDIT: Yeah completely missed the new game mode. I figured League had room for a battle royale mode such like the Bloodlines: Champions game no one played. But why on crystal scar? you mean to tell me you couldnt make a simple desert map? not like crystal scar is at all visually appealing.

I'm pretty sure it was planned, they probably had two completely separate teams working on each champion and they both just came to be ready at the same time. I'd guess either the new dude finished early or Gnar was delayed.
Gnar probably sold pretty well just on the cuteness factor alone. Read the comments at surrenderat20 and you'll see a lot of league's playerbase is just the kawaii omg gosu (?) kind of people.
And no, pretty sure the patch for worlds will be 4.14.

The concept of Azir is a lot more compelling to me than Gnarl, I like champs that are based on establishing zones of control.
Still, I should probably just stop playing, was considering trying to make a final effort to grind for gold until I saw that the reward was a Morgana skin. Meh.

I play a lot of Morgana so that skin would be highly wurf for me. In fact I think the only way I can get to gold from my current state is to grind Morg since shes my best champion by far. also helps that shes low-elo freelo.
PlanHex Whats even better is that theyre having people volunteer for the restrictions! How can you test the functionality when your test group is already not the fucking problem? Player behavior fail again. Its been years and all theyve done is get team builder out the door amd create a defunct honor system. Still an incredibly obnoxious community.

Yay, I found a main, I'll just spam Karma everywhere. Jungle is a bit slow but the ganks are funny and it's nice to have a jungler with poke so I can always deal the most damage in the team and get yelled at by retards who couldn't finish the kill if the target DC'd

Indeed. I just dislike her and wish she had never become a God-tier support. Frankly, I ban her or call.for her ban every game.

Well so does everybody else. Braum and Morgana are always banned and when they aren't the side who picked them wins, or so it seems to me.

Here in NA Braum is always banned but Morgana sneaks through quite often. She is so annoying to play against but also really boring to play as. Her greatest strength besides the impossible to outplay Q is her E, and that takes no skill. I don't think I'll ever say to myself "boy I sure could play some Morgana right now", I don't see ever using the victorious skin, meh.

It's Morgana, look at the ears.

Damn, Riot is pushing stuff out fast:
http://www.surrenderat20.net/2014/08/827-pbe-update.html#more
Cassiopeia TU/GU and Renekton TU plus a new champion on the same patch. Pretty sure they're doing this as fast as they can to have less champions to clash with the new map's art style.
Also, new Kha'Zix skin is fairly lame, really dislike the purple/weird green color scheme but whatever.
Such buildup, I was sure it was gonna be the ultimate, but I guess they wanted him to have a cheaper skin too, since his release is already a 1350 one.
In the meantime, I've been playing Dota and I have to say, it's its own kind of fun. You know shit like teemo shrooms before the nerf to their AP ratio? Almost every hero has some kind of bullshit ability or function or something like that. Pudge has a freaking longer range blitzcrank hook AND warwick's ultimate, for example.

Buh. CassiOPeia needed a buff?
It looks like complete madness to me what the hell? That's gonna be fun to deal with.

Short range, no escapes. I have a feeling they'll be doing something similar for Brand, Malzahar, etc.

I think I will just follow the Finns advice and play bullies in every lane. Only way I've had fun past few games. That hyperaggressive 21/9 Doran's Blade Yorick was a lot more fun than the more conservative version I'm used to playing. Also, full AP when playing support mages. No more pussy footing around, I'm stuck in wood Elo anyway and for good reason too, might as well have fun.
