Ignar spends 95% of the early game outside of lane, and TSM never punishes for it.

Team has the same problems they had last year. Which isnt surprising considering 3 of the 5 staff roles are still held by staff members from last year. I was extremely skeptical about Peter and right now it looks like that was the right choice


Back in January. TSM once again goes budget and once again looks like a budget team

I knew that game 5 was over when they picked Ekko.

When I go to blame Peter, I always think back to the video earlier in the split when he basically said he was asked to coach as "interim head coach" because they couldn't find anyone better. He is what he is - a solid supporting coach who gets along well with his players.

Leena on Reddit said they were out bid on coaches in the off season... how can TSM - one of the more recognizable brands in esports and seemingly no money problems get out bid on coaches?

I really don't get giving them blue again game 3. When blue side is the winning side 65%+ why give them a free outlet to draft what they want? That coupled with giving them Xayah Rakan so many times.. just yikes.

I hope they look at coaching and admin before next split. That aspect of TSM has been well below standard for a while now.

I agree with not being to hard on the interim guy who is filling in.

I think Leena also said TSM is the only org turning a profit. If they are getting outspent for players/coaches, it is because other teams are overspending. Not much you can do about that other than trying to make the best value decisions and be better long term.

Yep. Player contracts inflated incredibly quickly for not a whole lot of reason. It has set an unrealistic baseline.

That makes sense.

Someone needs to step in and say "I want that job" and get this team right again. They have a solid roster, just someone to step up and take control.

It seems that no one wants to coach at TSM but man, if you can turn the team around and bring it back to consistent top 3 and compete for split titles and go to worlds the fans will be satisfied.

No one wanted to burn the org to the ground when they lost to TL last spring even when they threw the lead because they got there. Fans were upset but were pleased to see their team get back to competing again. When you're eliminated from playoffs in the first couple rounds of the losers bracket with a decent roster is when people turn on you.

LONE WOLF At levels 1-6, a champion's solo kills grant 20% more experience and assisted kills grant 20% less experience. At levels 7-8, these numbers are reduced to 10%


Am I reading this correctly?

So if you get a kill, and someone helped you (assisted), you get 20% less than normal XP, while if you get an unassisted kill (solo kill), you gain 20% more XP?

If that's right, ADC is going to be even worse to play than it already is

Jungle getting solid buffs on top of that.

So, non-interactive jungler meta? Better to just farm it out instead of ganking?

They did, level 9 and up. Plus the solo kill exp buff making counter jungling and bullying in the jungle well worth it again too.

Honestly the added sustain below 30% HP might be the biggest change there. That's going to open up so many jungler possibilities that would normally have fairly unhealthy early clears.

Looks like a few folks are reporting on Twitter that TL is shopping Doublelift.
