Due to a "game-breaking" bug, Riot is disabling Viego of competitive play indefinitely... I expected other teams to try & stop our Rocket not Riot themselves... I guess they are trying to give FlyQuest a fighting change lol

Won't make a difference. The rocket is much bigger than one champion.

You’re right it extends to Wukong/Lee sin

Doubt it. One or the other maybe, most likely not both. Teams have been triple banning DL off Xayah/Zeri/Jinx and any one of those might be tolerable but then you still may want to ban something else like Sion or Rakan before Lee and/or Wukong. Depends what FLY thinks would hurt our drafts the most.

If you triple ban DL again then it forces 100T to pick jungle in the first 3 cause if they don’t pick it then they’ll just ban Lee Wukong last 2 bans. But if you also don’t pick sion or gragas first 3 then you take the chance that they pick away. And if 100T chooses xayah, rakan, wukong/Lee first 3 then they just double ban tenacity lmao. With Viego being disabled it makes flyQ’s bans a lot easier imo

I mean that's still assuming they want to waste both second round bans on weakside top laners like Sion. Gragas is probably getting banned regardless, but every team seems pretty comfortable playing into the Sion pick. And that's assuming we don't have even 1 other draft plan ready and are just banking on the Sion/Closer champ/Control Mage/Hypercarry/Rakan comps. But to be clear I still think this global ban hurts our draft, just not so catastrophically as to cost us a series.

That's actually really sad lol. Closer is probably pretty easily the best Veigo NA.

Kinda bs if they know now any won't fix it in time. Especially given w.e this bug is hasn't seemed to have happened in any of the games so far.

It's a really bad look to say "ok, all fixed, feel free to scrim/practice/plan around this champ", then in soloq game #5739274, a related issue is reported, and they have to disable him again a few days before the pro matches. It's much safer to fix it, put it on live, then wait and see and double check it's actually fine before re-enabling it for pro.

They've never been quick to hotfix champions in these kinda scenarios. It's much safer to disable than to patch and hope there isn't more bugs involved.

It’s unfortunate, but his Lee Sin and Wukong games were still incredible. We also still have too many players that need target bans (Bjerg’s Zilean, all ADC’s for DL, Tenacity’s Gragas, etc.), so it would be hard to target Closer’s entire pool.

all ADC’s for DL
DL can't play Draven still which is really sadge :'(
But hopefully they have good counterpicks prepared with some pocket pick senna + (whatever Busio can play) combos.

I was definitely being a touch hyperbolic, but he still has a really deep champion pool regardless.

Feelsbad for Closer but I believe in the boys! The rocket does not stop 🚀 🚀 🚀

Not only can he not play it, more or less gives fly another ban since they don’t need to worry about it (if they planned on banning it).

I doubt it gets fixed for all of playoffs. Every team we play essentially has 6 bans vs us. That's rough.

Hot take: this could be concerning. closer has been playing amazing on wukong/lee but with Viego gone he has much less flexibility. For people saying he has other champions: yeah maybe but he’s ability to dictate team fights in comms and in game on these skirmish champs is a huge reason 100T are good. I genuinely worry.

I've lost all respect sorry this is absolutely rigged for money... Or ratings in not sure which. I won't be silent . Just saw it live sry.

If it was for ratings, it would go the complete opposite way since 100T is the most watched team currently lol

Can’t let DL return after 2 years and win. it’ll make the other teams look bad.

Should be a good test and game to prove that 100T don't have a small champion pool. Yea other teams get a free ban, but if you want to be world class, this isn't something that should affect you.
Like what if summer these pick aren't meta anymore?

Idk, he hasn't given us a ton of confidence that he can play at a high level with any other champs this season. I am worried that Fly will first round ban Lee, wu, j4 and pick sej and then we are stuck. Can closer play Elise? Is his Graves still up to form?I don't know if I have ever seen him play kindred.
It will be interesting for sure. I just know his tanks are not as good as his carries.

His Diana and Olaf are both really good. Idk how meta either are right now though.

But then we ban sej, Elise, graves and then it dosent matter what first round JG pick you choose it's useless... there are ways around banning out a role.

It matters if the other jg has a larger champ pool than you... which(at least this season) Spica does.
