That Warwick Q following the Shen ult was smooooth and Impacts reaction was hilarious

[@TeamLiquidLoL]

Jenkins is a genius

[@antonzhdanov9653]

​@@TeamLiquidLoLCatching that timing is indeed quite hard. It should be not first ride on WW against Shen to catch this and it definitely was breaking point. Still I guess the worst was not going to help the team against WW in their own jg and that fight on botlane what cemented enemy team advantage. Also stomped top lane didn't helped in a slightest. Also WW outplay on bot was clean. Gold dude looked sloppy af there. But its challenger/pro thing definitely. 😅 Jenkins carried this one.

“It’s unplayable” 😂😂

[@blankwords8912]

The warwick 1v2 was fucking hilarious

[@ChrisEOfficial]

Win a 1v3 then we can talk

[@antonzhdanov9653]

Totally lvl1-3 Warwick thing. He is one of the strongest champions early on pair with Darius. Darius can get Warwick just due to his passive stacked up. If deny him that it's easy win for warwick. Played WW jg was dived 2v5, with my support on my bottom red, grabbed lvl 1 penta 😅 with ADC Jinx bumhole even not going to help us tho, my mid Akali did helped taking 2 enemies chasing her, what gave me time to grab FB and outheal damage done to me, grab double from enemy Ahri first under Leona stun and than Renekton with already my passive up due to half HP. And play on half health 1v2 with my support killed but me grabbing triple by one flash+ Q bite of almost dead from Akali and my Leona enemy Jhin when Akali fel back under mid turret. Than enemy blitz and their Kayne didn't got enough damage and I outhealed them with Q+passive killing Kayne first who tried to go all in due to my low health and grabbing Blitz to finish my lvl1-2 penta😊 Played top against Nasus lane bullying him got ganked by Nocturne, on lvl3, grabbed double kill. Warwick becomes weak later on and really should seek keeping and deepening his gap against enemy or he becomes pretty damn useless. The thing to avoid is Warwick dumb bloodtrail chases syndrome tho.

[@sultanbundi3415]

I mean playing against ww top lane is cancer so i cant blame him

[@hanyuu8672]

Not trying to be "that guy" but seriously, that was 11 years ago

[@thatguy5233]

​@@sultanbundi3415 yes! + imo if a champ is extremely easy and is viable in pro, there's a balance issue coz in theory what's the point of learning a hard champion when you can just cheese and win. i think champs like yuumi, garen, ww should never be meta in pro play but i get why riot does it (viewers can relate more and it just makes it more entertaining to see pros getting rolled by noob champs). i feel like tournaments is all riot cares about and i hate to admit but they got really entertaining to watch in the last 3 years. many comebacks (coz of shutdowns etc), unusual strats (cheesing with sion double jg), quicker games etc. still, all this is actually bad for regular players, especially the shutdown mechanic. getting punished for farming well or just playing well just doesn't make sense in terms of fun.

[@antonzhdanov9653]

​​@@thatguy5233Nuh huh, WW is not that easy. You HAVE TO hard gaping top and be disgustingly fed if play WW top or hard gaping enemy jgler boosting your team so look for ganks and/or invades as jungler. Also WW combat capability is hard gutted by grievous items so as soon as they are there being hit with that is failure. I'm Nasus OTP picking WW if Nasus is picked out from me bullying enemy Nasus hard, trying to keep my HP high and knowing that Nasus likely will go for bramble vest so if his jg gank me what should happen bcs I'm bullying Nasus hard so gankable, would focus on enemy jg, bcs low cs low lvl Nasus is garbage anyway and focusing him with bramble vest just harms me. Also, failed gank with Nasus seems to do nothing (bcs doggo literally can't do S in this situation) tilts enemy jg really hard. Still WW would mess up hard champs like lvl1 Morde, Sett etc if they go all in. Lvl1 Darius is exception bcs fullstacked he would outdamage WW heal hard so vs Darius WW should play smarter looking for short trades under his E disengaging as soon as E is down, using long Q on minion to have free dash either helps. If HP gap is big enough, here WW can try fo all-in bcs Darius dies before his full stack brings something big. Usually against WW enemy plays safely so it's hard to gape them. Grubes in S14 helps tho bcs almost surely enemy jg would gank top, giving you an opportunity to get free kill or even double. Should be carefull against strong early champ as can fail 1v2, things like Trundle or strong early top laner enemy can make whole plan fail. If you fail to hard gape WW low scaling would mess you up later in game. So unless you are proactive since lvl1, you are messed up. And new players don't really know how be proactive. Also, WW is garbage deep lategame obviously. Unlike this, champs like Fiora or Renekton are consistently useful through all stages of the game, Renekton less so, but he shifts from bruiser to assassin like tactics later in the game to gut out squishies using his E dash. Fiora tho needs goods micro timing her riposte, training her ult combo, and learning spacing to proc passive with Qs and not that easy to play. Easier than Irelia which should take into account minions positioning and health and temporising her Qs and autos to become insanely strong along with her really low team fights capabilities unless disgustingly fed, but still quite strong.

[@cloudwalker9572]

Not that bad but too bad we didn't get the scoreboard at the end though. It goes to show that the difference between a mid level player and a top level player isn't that much. Even though it does exists and is not doable for most to overcome it's fun to see the difference between a gold and a pro is basically the same as the best pro player in a role in the world and an average pro player. The devil is in the details. Most of his difficulties seemed to came through inexperience (lack of confidence, synergy...)
