Faker Chovy 1v1,Worlds Challenges & T1 Meta

[@qGods]

This is just ridiculous. Riot has said multiple times, that ADCs arent supposed to be mid. Those getting nerfed and mages getting buffed does not make it a "T1 patch". Faker is the greatest Azir player on the planet, Azir got gutted, Zeus is the greatest Jayce player on the planet, and Jayce is not viable. Hell, Keria is currently the only player running bard and Pyke, in an engage support meta which he struggles with. Lets not forget that Yone, is historically one of Faker's worse champions together with Corki and Tristana, and the champ is still extremely high priority. The only thing you can say that is "T1 favored", is Riot gutting ADC mids, which should never have become a thing to begin with. Both Chovy and Knight are also known for their Ahris, yet neither shows the level of dominance that Faker does, does that mean that its T1 favored?

[@mrparkx2]

bro, you gotta understand. Casters and analysts are trying to push other players up and down faker so, they can keep it going after or without faker. Also, IWD is anti T1. He says he isn't but he is and is very pro LPL. If his opinion of a best player is laning... no wonder lcs is like that

[@mrparkx2]

and funny is, everyone was saying T1 won by picking comfort picks and not meta pics. same with blg. Guess now we know why LCS never stayed relevant. Also, did he say no practice and they are good? lmao, now imagine if they actually had practice then. These guys seem to lack common sense sometimes. Having no practice is never better than having. Do you know what this means? this team is not even at full potential. Also, chovy is the best player in the world? how is he a league streamer.... wtf

[@EmikoZue]

@ I agree, very hypocritical to say t1 was better because they are use to play without practice while teams like GENG struggled because they were “strategic” and lack of practice was a severe down. You could say the same thing about their regular season, aren’t they better because they have better practice and t1 is a very unfair situation in which they cannot solo queue for over a year? Don’t they have a huge advantage during the whole year and still they lost in summer split.

[@justinecollado1552]

Streamers were saying Guma is not as proficient in Kaisa and Ezreal in a meta where those 2 champions are being picked left and right. Streamers were also saying Keria were not as proficient in engage champs when we are in a meta where Leona, Rell, Rakan, etc. are being dominantly picked. Now that T1 is in the finals again, somehow someway, people are saying that the current patch is favoring T1??

[@jimbobuckets2757]

guma hasnt really played ezreal or kai sa and keria has been playing things like renata/bard so they werent wrong. the patch favouring t1 was more targeted at mid jngl. ap jngls arent as meta anymore due to more mages mid which is good for oner becuase he doesnt do well with ap jnglers he does best on things like vi, lee sin. when it comes to mid lane faker sucked at adc mid so now that adc mid isnt really viable anymore faker greatly benefits especially with things sylas akali orianna being played.

So it's a T1 meta given by riot but a Yone - Aurora tournament which Faker can't played ? Hard to follow IWD narrative. And yes T1 ban Yone on blue when Aurora is not ban on red to force that ban. If Aurora is ban 1st or 2nd on red, T1 never ban Yone 3rd on blue.

[@martin32074]

What he meant was that as soon as mid scaling ad champs were out of the game, T1 became unstoppable. Because the game switched from standard scaling team fight to fast tempo base game. Yone and aurora are the byproduct of the meta because they can spike at early stage and contribute to resource fight with one item. That doesn’t mean they are the only things to play. The draft flaw means T1 don’t really want to play the yone on blue side so they have to either choose red side or waste a ban on blue. That’s a disadvantage but no one is good enough to take advantage against this T1. However, the fast tempo base meta is still the best meta for T1.

[@Pwassoncru]

@@martin32074I mean, we got scaling AD mid/top/bot for the last 6 months, you can’t blame riot for wanting to change that. That was cancer to watch, ADC and ziggs every game, scaling until they can 2v5. So many lck games ended up being a Lucian mid solo carrying the fight at 40 mins. That has nothing to do with t1, it was just bad to watch and to play.

[@mikelshuo9071]

​​​​​@@martin32074 t1 became unstoppable but that doesn't mean the champs they draft are the true meta. there are several champs that beat champs like vi akali in early mid and also outscale them but no team has the awareness to practice them besides flyquest. with that t1 melee comp with vi akali, if geng picked urgot taric kalista the game is already won. its results based analysis to say that because t1 is winning then what they play is good/ the meta when it really isn't. this argument flip flops to the exact opposite when they start losing. so no these patches don't inherently favor t1.

@notmetho906 they gained the fact that faker doesnt have to play adc midlaners at all, and due to that the meta doesnt as strongly favor engage like leona, nautilus and rell over other picks like renata and bard that keria loves to play. btw the not needing to play ad mids part is absolutely fucking massive for t1. its good for blg as well, but knight generally played them better than faker

[@kayoom9613]

I mean AD mids shouldn't be viable but because it was in summer, people were happy to even choose it for top. Its ridiculous that you wondered what was the point of having a tank in top lane when the enemy can just counterpick with a marksman. Worlds patch I would say is a return to more conventional League but to say that T1 is good because the patch is good for them is such a lazy take. So let's say they got knocked out in quarters this year instead of making to finals. Oh, they are just bad. Cmon, man. The amount of time teams get to prep for Worlds knockout games is insane. Everyone has like at least a week or even more to prepare for the games. You either get creative or you make use of what has worked for you previously. In that case, would I be wrong to say that GenG did not prepare properly for the Flyquest match, to the point that they had to pull out the Smolder Ziggs combo in game 5 to save their asses. A combo that's so toxic that it had to be nerfed but clearly the Smolder wasn't nerfed enough.

[@dounin7822]

Riot can create any meta they want and that's not crazy to say, like this time, they overbuffed Akali to make it viable, same for Yone. In 2019, when no other team was playing Pyke in Spring, other than G2 and in an off-role, Riot simply gave him a big buff for MSI. If the meta this year it'd have stayed the same than in Spring, maybe the team at the Final it was going to be GEN, because Chovy as much as people wants to defend him, he did better at MSI, but not by much, because of playing champions where he didn't need to take risks, like Corki, meanwhile with melee, short range champions, he always has struggled internationally, like his Akali in Quarterfinals in 2023.

[@engryfill9047]

Isn't it contradictory to say that T1 do well because riots buff their champ then saying that T1's draft has the most flaws in quarters EDIT1: Slander police got me red handed, DOM didn't insinuate that riot buffed T1's meta, instead I'll provide you parts of what he said: "T1, like, the patches have generally favored them at worlds, whether intentional or not, it is hard to say" And this one too: "I actually think that t1 and blg have some of the biggest draft flaws in the entire tournament" EDIT2: IGNORE my first argument and lets reduce that into this: T1 Favored Meta + Biggest Draft Flaws in Tourney (w/ BLG) = Contradictory (?) DOM did say he predicted T1 do well at worlds. (wasnt it on caedrel tierlist?)

[@emanergza6383]

Dom's delusional, he has good takes all around until it becomes a T1 issue

[@Darkness_Enjoyer]

Just to simply explain. Adc mids were meta this year, they get removed just before Worlds, which almost made T1 not qualify for it. Engage supports were meta last year, LPL looks strong, suddenly in world's we start seeing 'range supports' and JDG is forced to play T1's gamestyle. Ahri - Annie with Vi - Xin Zhao were meta at MSI 2023, but suddenly they are nerfed to the ground at worlds and Orianna becomes the best champion, which is the best champion Faker plays, coupled with the change in support meta, most teams have a hard time adapting to bans. That is what the argument for changing Meta for T1. Either, I agree or not is a complete different thing. As for the part where T1 has flawed draft issues, the argument is different. Since they can't play "Aurora - Yone" which are the strongest picks of the tournament by far, they just ban it and find other adaptions of draft. But, these two champs are entirely different from "removing a whole class that doesn't suit T1" which was what Riot did.

[@tinecchi3648]

before the tournament its the right take 100%, because adc mid were horrible for how faker wants to play. he never wants to be the guy to get all the ressources and carry fights. he wants a playmaker that gives ressources to his team. but with how well t1 plays at this tournament meta might not even change anything. chovy goes from a constant 98/100 performance to a 80 while faker goes from a 70 (in summer) to 90-95.

@@Darkness_EnjoyerWell, if you looked at the patch, they just nerfed all the top played/banned champs in LCK. Including Azir which is also a ‘Faker’ champion.

If Chovy is I. Position to threaten getting plates, then Faker’s play is an even greater net positive for Faker for denying that lmao Flash for a wave reset, save plates, keep Chovy from random roams with ult down.

[@Darkness_Enjoyer]

it is not a 'net' positive play just by assuming that Faker didn't know he wouldn't have to flash. While Faker might not have to flash, you also need to understand that, Sylas with Ahri Ult is a very strong piece on the map, and he not only loses his flash but also the Ahri ult, which for Sylas has a much longer cooldown. This limits, T1's ability to play the map significantly as any fights that they will take around mid will no longer be good and most likely to be lost. And since they are a good team, they will be aware of that which will essentially result on GENG choking them on the map. Which is exactly what happened in this game 'lmao'.

Never get into any form of finance or accounting if this is your thoughts of net positive. Sacrificing a cooldown to slowly bleed out afterwards is not a net positive, that's called a Band-Aid.

Its not ever going to be possible for him to kill chovy unless he actually runs it down, so he will just always be down in gold until lane phase is over. According to your logic there is no possible "net positive" play if chovy plays well because he will never be winning the lane. You are very correct in saying that its a bandaid. He is doing all he can to mitigate losses in lane so he wont be too far behind later to have an impact. Your metaphor is just flat out wrong because it assumes that t1 picked sylas for lane phase.

It's super hindsight to say this year or last year are T1 patches when T1 defined the ranged support meta going into knockout stages and this year Keria is arguably the most important piece of T1 given how the other supports performed but its not like the picks bard, pyke, renata arent available to the other players, Keria just outperformed. Also ADC mid getting nerfed for worlds was a long time coming, riot doesnt like ad mid

[@js.mp3]

Idk about Geng but the champion pool in this worlds meta was all in chovy’s favor

[@vert1]

I think it’s really hard to have read the patch notes this year and not immediately think that this was a patch for SKT. I didn’t even consume any content regarding it and we all came to the same conclusion.

[@simple45679]

ADC mid or ADC every lane is something that shouldn't even happen. You're coping too hard if you think going back to conventional laning classes is making it a T1 patch.

[@vert1]

@@simple45679 You need to google what cope means, really using it out of context here ya lil smooth brained buffoon Doesn’t matter if AD was op, it’s the fact that it got nerfed right before worlds and they also buffed a ton of picks that SKT is known for. You’re probably some hard stuck silver SKT1 super fan who just plays arams, if you can’t see why this meta favored SKT then just look at the results? They barely even made it to worlds. KT should have beat them. Literal 4th seed. They got dogged so hard in the LCK. Come worlds meta? They’re easily the best team. Come on buddy. I don’t love or hate

dom cooking in this one

[@FutayuriShironeko]

Problem is he's cooking with napalm, not stove. The "T1 champs" are some of the most picked by all teams. And patch also buffed champs like Ziggs to an annoyance level but T1 doesn't play ziggs. Dom honestly lost forest for the trees with this take. Msi is also not better because "top teams play 15 bo5s", in MSI there are noone else but the top teams after few days of groups, so no shit they will play a lot of bo5s. Imagine 15 bo5s tacked on worlds elim stage bracket. Tournament would be 2 months long... like wth, be reasonable, Dom.

[@TKMotoRolA_RazR]

@FutayuriShironeko you don't get it and that's fine. the main issue is people retconning the rest of the year because of what happens at worlds. worlds can be the most important tournament and a big honor to win it. however, trying to say that a team that has been dominant all year was actually fraudulent and not that good because they lost 1 bo5 at worlds is asinine. that's the reason why these conversations pop up every year. at this point it's like who cares anymore. i like the teams and want to see them play high level matches vs each other and want to see strong players win. all the choker this and goat that is really exhausting

[@FutayuriShironeko]

@TKMotoRolA_RazR im not recconing rest of the year. Geng stan were trashing t1, saying "10 : 0" and shit. Then t1 won and now they shift and backpedal that its "t1 patch". They are still playing same patch, though... I didn't say t1 was better than Geng year round. They clearly weren't. But stans not giving t1 any credit and saying it t1 patch is fucking delulu.

I do get his point a lot but what I don't get is how mage champions coming back to mid is a T1 favored patch? like isn't mid always supposed to be a mage lane, and this guys specifically Chovy who abused it and couldn't adapt to the changes simply means they aren't him. I am a recent fan of Dom and I am too is a T1 fan, and sometimes I laugh along when he bashed this mentally delusional T1 fans, but recently he's just become so bitter that he's almost being the same as his enemies he thought of as worse.

He's just coping hard because all his teams are falling like flies to T1 going against all odds.

Its probably? because they have faker there. Like hes a stabilizing force for their mental state since hes so experienced at worlds specifically? And maybe they can just afford better accommodation for the players since t1 probably has more money to spare.

4:40 - that’s true Dom about T1 being a good team on the scramble. But this analysis fails for last year. JDG was the BEST team fighting team last year period. And T1 cooked them. Not a delusional T1 fan, but a regular T1 fan. There might be some truth in the conspiracy though on the T1 patch. It happens every year like clockwork. It does make it entertaining.

[@simple45679]

ADC mid shouldn't even be a thing. Removing it and getting the game back to normal is now a "T1" patch. Stop the cope It's not even pure mages in mid, it's a lot of champions that Faker isn't supposed to be better than Chovy/Knight at like yone/aurora/sylas/akali/ahri. Now they get exposed and it's a "t1" patch all of a sudden. Botlane meta was also engage support + kaisa/ezreal which T1 just aren't good at either.

[@conocosz]

As much as I hate T1 as Dom, maybe more. T1 is not the best teamfighting team, if you watched throughout the summer split HLE heavily out team fought them in equal if not disadvantage positions. GenG just always had the lead or made macro decisions to get the lead or played Chovy Smolder and scaled to victory from stalling.

[@supersonic_kai_99]

It felt like a T1 patch. You can clearly see in the patch they removed the ADC mid style completely and buff up whatever Faker is good/comfortable at. As well as jungle where they buffed champs Oner likes to play. It’s crazy since if it wasn’t a T1 patch then we would easily see mids who can actually play more ADC midlaners like Chovy would definitely benefit as a team overall.

​@@yihadistxdl951 then winning Worlds is basically a joke.

Who else but Faker can play those champions, right? 🤡 And let's not forget that Riot nerf Azir to oblivion because only Faker played him exceptionally last World. How dare Riot nerf adc mid and Zigg? It was only used for the short time of 6 months before World. The last meta was for sure love by all people 🐧.
