@filipimali01 @assassadin @GriffinHQ_ totally agree, was thinking like mid game lol my bad or 4items. only hit emerald 3 man just wanna test my game logic 😂 see how I can improve it. I main adc so I look at cait bard vs ez Leo and think ez Leo should be shoved regardless cait q bard q auto wave dead or bush headshot

@Jacob_Escaleraa @assassadin @GriffinHQ_ Fair enough, assassadin explained it well. Also ezreal’s 2 core is 6233 gold, caitlyns is 6600, so what you’re saying doesnt really make sense

My take on the Witchcrafts Velja/Crownie (and bwipo nemesis tbh) drama Full video explanation below TLDR: Velja was the only one being reasonable and actually trying to understand what happened and to learn. He was also correct in the sense bot lane should have prio at any point if they choose to but the problem was their bot lane didnt communicate that they didnt want to have prio for scuttle. Crownie was correct in the way he played lane but was misunderstanding the difference between having no prio and losing lane. Kept getting ego hurt by being told he had no prio which was true. Bwipo and Nemesis were being completely insufferable name calling and making situation worse for 0 reason and were just completely wrong. Rekkles did the right thing by leaving the drama NON TLDR: Actually insane that nemesis spouted that Velja knows nothing about the game when he is very clearly a good player and has been their MVP for probably 3/4 of LR existence. They are also teammates and you should never treat your teammate like that. Velja was also correct in the sense that bot lane SHOULD have prio, even after Ezreal TPs cait/bard can get prio but they chose not to (Which is completely ok and correct) but they did not communicate what they wanted to do at all in game, nor during the review Bwipo saying crownie lost lane because ezreal TPs back with 20% more hp and a fucking tear which is completely incorrect. Caitlyn has great conditions here, enemy is suffering down summoners and caitlyn is never in kill threat, Caitlyn/bard still completely dictate this lane and can outsustain and slow push crash the wave whenever they get a good enough back to do so. forcing ezreal to take a bad recall later while also being down TP and flash, then when caitlyn comes back with item/level advantage and summ advantage can kill later Velja completely griefed in fighting the scuttle crab given the conditions. Again they COULD fight for scuttle crab if they wanted however they would have needed to communicate this beforehand and make sure they had prio for the scuttle crab which they 100% could have at any point. by either not trading entire hp bar when ezreal has tp, or after ezreal tps forcing prio back with stronger champs. Velja was the only one (aside from Rekkles who didnt partake in the review) being reasonable in the review as he was actually trying to understand why his bot lane didnt have prio which is completely fair given caitlyn/bard should always have prio in this lane (if they want to). However, it was a decision and a good one at that to not have prio so caitlyn can play for a better condition on the next play. Which needed to be communicated to Velja during the review and this entire situation would have been avoided and a learning session instead of just telling each other they are shit.

@filipimali01 @assassadin @GriffinHQ_ I’m sorry bro you didn’t elaborate or I didn’t put 2 and 2 together 😂 I wanted a actual discussion not bland answers lmao

@Jacob_Escaleraa @assassadin @GriffinHQ_ 😭😭😭

@assassadin @filipimali01 @GriffinHQ_ This is totally a valid point that makes sense. I’d say ez being shove totally isn’t ideal, also not getting plating would suck. But his components are much cheaper than caits build if I’m not mistaken by maybe 1k gold. So evens out best case. But he still has tp…. So not rly

@Jacob_Escaleraa @filipimali01 @GriffinHQ_ stacking waves and pelting the tower on repeat is what caitlyn's goal in lane is. ezreal farming under tower with Qs on every crash isn't exactly the dream. cait gets tower gold, better rotations, vision control, dragons, and free resets while ezreal is in survival mode.

@filipimali01 @GriffinHQ_ It’s ok to disagree here, rn we viewing it the same as them, I get what you’re saying, but I’m just speaking from what I believe that would happen. Past lvl 6 obviously ez gets doge from vi + bard ult but still doesn’t garentee kill bc E+flash if positioned correctly. Gn tho!

@filipimali01 @GriffinHQ_ Leo can block q’s reduce dmg, and you keep forgetting the part that only makes sense here. Ez is only ok with this bc he has tear, he already scaling faster than normal and didn’t loose wave bc he tpd. He will just farm and play super safe. Cait can’t get ahead if they play safe

@filipimali01 @GriffinHQ_ Again how is ezreal fucked if he is just chilling under tower farming with q never in auto range and at most gets hit by q from cait. You’re also acting like this never happens to any champs and any lanes. This is simply league laning. If you can’t understand this I cannot help u

@Jacob_Escaleraa @GriffinHQ_ Well yeah in your silver games this might be true but if you put any high level eastern team on this matchup and give cait pickaxe vs tear i swear to you the ezreal is fucked

@filipimali01 @GriffinHQ_ Ezreal wants to be shoved, free tear stacking. What’s safer for ezreal here… super far up in lane or at tower free farming + tear? And if enemy over commits he just chases down in lane with E+flash?

@Jacob_Escaleraa @GriffinHQ_ Crownie stayed to get a pickaxe base so he could have perma push when he comes back, which would lead to winning lane, not a lose lose at all

@GriffinHQ_ Ezreal here though isn’t loosing anything, he always has a flash through E, and bought a tear, in what world is ez dying with a Leo vs bard cait. So he isn’t losing anything in lane. Crownie didnt recall to get even with stats and didn’t have prio. It was a lose lose for crownie

@Jacob_Escaleraa Having prio or having more hp and being in a winning lane state are not the same thing. I explain more at 4:30 in the video if you still dont understand why ezreal is still losing lane

@ORE0N @GriffinHQ_ @GriffinHQ_ opinion on this aspect of it?

@ORE0N @GriffinHQ_ crownie was saying he couldn’t shove wave, which in turn can’t rotate for skuttle. But his reasoning for that was that he froze bc he would have lost lane if he didn’t freeze. Bwipo said him not keeping lethal tempo alive was what sealed the deal. Meaning needed to recall + cull

@ORE0N @GriffinHQ_ Totally agree tho that he never should have faught for crab with bot shoved and Leo mia

@Jacob_Escaleraa @GriffinHQ_ They did win lane, they just didn't have prio for like 30 seconds after ez tp (and they cannot "shove and back for cull" like bwipo said) but it doesn't matter anyway because it's a losing 3v3 and vi should cross map and never contest that crab.

@ORE0N @GriffinHQ_ From my understanding of it he was saying bot is fucked either way, cannot get prio for crab unless cait bard shoved (the froze) ez lost nothing bc he is fine with trading hp/mana for a tear and now he free stacks with full hp and infinite mana. Crownie therefore didn’t win lane.

@Jacob_Escaleraa @GriffinHQ_ Bwipo literally admitted he was completely wrong after like 10 people reviewed the vod in the group call last night.

@ORE0N @GriffinHQ_ TO BE FAIR! There is so much that went on going with this and I haven’t seen ALL of the vids or all the reviews, just going based on what I saw during scrim and immediately after scrim on bwipos side, what he said to me made sense.

@GriffinHQ_ I should also say watch bwipos stream when just he and velija were vid reviewing it (like 10 min after everyone left)

@s0ulstone1012 @RampageJackson Yes, and the funny part is that someone just clipped her ( @syanne77 ) saying that her and her now ex boyfriend @Pobelter have been broken up for a little bit now

@RampageJackson Isnt this syanne

Training her Muy Thai LIVE!

@ricebotguy @alwaysplanahea1 If I’m not mistaken, they didn’t say that specifically. They said they didn’t see the game eye to eye, and bwipo was a big factor of that. Inspired was the middle man, but thought similar to bwipo. Also look at stats for summer. Like Jensen was on dig lol lol.fandom.com/wiki/Special:R…

@Jacob_Escaleraa @alwaysplanahea1 The players on flyquest themselves literally said verbatim jensen stopped caring and didn't have the same competitive drive that he used to. He wasn't reviewing or taking criticism like needed to and it was hurting the team. Don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about.

People were worried about Lyons mental, but they should be worried about Saint choking every game

@ricebotguy @alwaysplanahea1 In reality, flyquest was only good imo bc of inspired was insane jgler and bwipo was able to solo every top laner in the league. I’d actually personally argue that quad and Jensen were equal, 1 better AP other better AD. Ppl think he better tho bc Korean. Also APA said so as well

@ricebotguy @alwaysplanahea1 He definitely still cared, went 1 split into retirement, replaced c9s mid laner in 2023, won the split went to worlds AGAIN lmao. You ain’t got a clue what you’re talking about. Quad better on ad’s yes I give that, but wasn’t and isn’t this crazy upgrade.
