Match-ups – Star Horn Royal Club
Top -
Irelia
should be running into an even match-up in this game. She will be
able to sustain through at least some of the large amount of damage
Rumble is able to provide, while being able to trade/burst him better
than he will be able to on her. The trade is, Rumble's sustain will
be higher, and Irelia will have to make sure not to sit in
Flamespitter. As long as she is able to make it past the first few
levels, this match should start to turn way into her favor,
especially around level 6. Good use her dash and creep manipulating
can allow her to escape after her trade damage, or to dodge out of
Rumble's ultimate. Irelia can look to get a Hexdrinker first, though
it will delay her Trinity Force it will give her huge safety and
strength against Rumble.
Mid -
Orianna
has to be careful in this match-up. It is one that she can win, or
even dominate, however its quite fragile. Orianna's ability to duel
and to respond to trade damage is strong, and against Jayce, as long
as she can survive his trade/burst, she can put out much more
sustained damage and win the 1v1. The counter to this, is that Jayce
has great poke and can get Orianna into kill range with 1 or 2 good
shock blasts. Orianna will have to hide behind creep waves while
farming with her ball. Ball movements are going to be a little
tricky, as Orianna will want to try to harass Jayce with it, however
when the ball is far from her, Jayce will be able to have a safer
all-in or trade damage. In the end, Orianna should focus on farming,
and wait for an opportunity to capitalize on Jayce making a mistake.
Carrying Exhaust will really drain the kill potential from Jayce as
well.
Bot -
Tristana/Zilean
is quite a weak lane. While Zilean can provide decent harassment, he
offers no protection Tristana until level 6, and with Tristana being
weak in lane, these two do not really work together as a bot lane
duo. SHR should look for the lane swap, and keep it going until both
are level 6. The downside to this though, is that Thresh is a much
better roamer and will be able to provide more presence around the
map if the 2v1 lanes occur. If the 2v2 lanes do happen, then SHR's
duo will have to be very careful about Thresh, as they have weak
ability in any trade/all-in compared to Thresh/Twitch. Even at 6,
they will be at the disadvantage. SHR's duo is really going to need
to just play safe, and transition to team-fighting at an earlier than
normal point.
Jungle
-
Jarvan
will have a stronger early-game than Khazix and should seek to use
it. Every lane has an opportunity for him to make a play, as no lane
has any natural escapes. Irelia will make the best lane to gank, as
the double CC will work wonders against Rumble. As level 4/5 is
reached, Jarvan should really be seeking to burn a Flash in one of
the lanes if they have not already been burned, and then return at
level 6 for the guaranteed lock-down and very likely kill. If Jarvan
is able to make his presence felt this match, he can really shift the
lanes into his team's favor.
Lane
Match-ups – OMG
Top -
Rumble
should be having an even match-up with Irelia, especially early on,
though it will start to shift around level 5/6. Rumble will need to
use his Flamespitter to deal as much damage over time to Irelia,
potentially pushing her off of creeps early, to compensate for the
stronger all-in damage that Irelia has. Making good use of Rumble's
ultimate will be key after level 6, and he must make sure that Irelia
cannot dash away from it using creeps. If Rumble can get a lead,
then he should be able to take the 1v1 with his double Mpen items,
however even when ahead he will be very susceptible to ganks and will
need to pay close attention to them.
Mid -
Jayce
will have a slight bit of control in this match-up, even though he
may lose trades or all-ins. The potential for Jayce lies in his poke
and his lack of need to engage onto Orianna. Just farming and trying
to get Shock Blasts onto Orianna will be enough to control the lane,
or at least keep it as a farm fest. If Jayce is able to get enough
poke down, and/or Orianna or her ball are in a bad position, Jayce
can head in for more harassment and trade damage. If Orianna's ball
is in bad spot, Jayce can hop in and knock-back Orianna, getting
mostly free damage due to the travel time of Command: Protect. At 6,
Jayce will have to be more careful, but will still be able to safely
farm and keep control.
Bot -
Thresh/Twitch
can pretty easily dominate their lane, mostly because of the power of
Thresh against SHR's duo. From level one he should be seeking to get
down harassment or even cause a full on engagement. After level 1,
any hook can be followed up for solid trade damage, especially as
Thresh is simply able to take more damage than Zilean, and Twitch
will be able to provide more than Tristana. OMG's lane has full
control in this lane, on top of having Thresh, who if the 2v1 does
occur, will be able to provide more help than Zilean around the map.
Jungle
-
Khazix
is going to be able to offer a lot less this match than Jarvan will
be able to. Luckily, his lanes, other than top, are stronger and
safer than their lane opponents. Khazix should look to farm and
scale up, getting to 6 where he can poke well with Jayce. While
farming, he should pay attention to the top lane, as Rumble is going
to be the most vulnerable to a gank.
Team
Composition/Strategy – Star Horn Royal Club
*Win
Condition – Make it to late game and then win.
I
generally would like the SHR team composition. They have great
late-game strength, good engage, a solid amount of safety with Zilean
and Orianna, and some mid-game power with Irelia and the
Orianna/Jarvan combo. There is a lot of potential in this
composition, however against OMG's team, it's going to almost be like
trying to hold back an avalanche. OMG's team is so mid-game focused
and so great at tower cracking compared to SHR's defenses, that I'm
not sure that SHR can hold on to the late game. SHR are going to
need to find a lead early, be it through aggressive ganks or some
well managed lane swaps. Get Irelia strong early will be important
as she is the mid-game power of SHR. Immediate ganks onto Jayce with
Jarvan 6 will be good too. It's just going to be hard for SHR and
they have to work to win this match-up.
Team
Composition/Strategy – OMG
*Win
Condition – Use the mid-game power-spike to control the map and
take neutral objectives, transition into tower siege/brute force to
take them down then back off. Turn objectives into a gold lead.
OMG's
team is very strong in the mid-game. All of their champions are much
stronger than SHR from roughly the 10-20 minute mark, aside from
Irelia who is even with Rumble. OMG will need to use this window of
time to bully SHR around. Take dragon, take fights to the neutral
objectives of SHR, and force SHR to fight. When there is nothing up
to take in the jungle, then move to towers. As 5 OMG can bully SHR
off the turrets. Poke with Jayce, disengage with Rumble or even toss
his ultimate at the tower to force SHR away while they kill it. The
name of the game is, bully SHR and do not let up. Get a lead and the
snowball it to the win. SHR will need quite awhile to catch up, even
if at even gold with OMG.
Game
Notes -
SHR are
taking a guess at where OMG are after seeing them pass a ward. We
get a blue buff dance 5v5. Nobody wants to back off. Eventually OMG
are able to get the blue buff, but Thresh almost pays for it. OMG
come out ahead with blue buff and 1 summoner.
Rumble
barely survives a top lane dive. SHR's duo do shove him out of lane
though and force him to use his TP and Flash. If Zilean's Ignite had
been up, most likely there would have been a kill.
SHR
move their duo to the bot lane, now that Tristana can grab a pick-ax,
and with the TP advantage that Irelia has. Irelia is really far
behind Rumble right now though.
Thresh
properly saves his hook, after using flay, for when Zilean uses the
flash. Thresh goes down, but OMG are able to pick up 2 kills for 1,
and burn Irelia's TP for no gain. (Where was the Tristana Rocket Jump
away).
OMG
head to dragon when Rumble's TP is back up and they take it without
contest. Rumble Teleports bottom to try for a bad engage and
ultimate. Rumble sticks around a bit longer than expected and when
Jarvan ganks for SHR it goes bad and OMG take 3 kills for 1.
OMG go
to harass the blue buff of SHR, but its already down. Lucian is able
to bait SHR into a fight though and OMG are able to go 2 for 1.
Trading better again and OMG take both top/mid, completing the
removal of SHR's outer ring of turrets.
An
attempted Dragon steal by SHR ends up with them giving up 4 kills to
OMG.
OMG
turn to start their tower bullying. Jayce and Khazix poking while
Lucian knocks on the turret.
SHR
make a last ditch effort engage, but it is when Irelia has backed off
to heal. I think its because Jarvan got himself caught that he
decided to go in, otherwise it was just bad. SHR were low and had no
hope of winning that fight. It ended up with OMG getting 2 kills and
the turret and then Baron. If the coffin was nailed before this
fight, now its been buried 6 feet under. OMG have Baron, 11k gold
lead, which is 30k to 41k, over 30% lead. Game is over. OMG will
just brute force their way to the win.
End
Game Notes -
OMG got
a leg up early, and rolled with it. Their composition was just that
much stronger early on and with Irelia get shut down by the lane
swaps, OMG had all the control they could want.
What
Star Horn Royal should have done -
Not
pick such a heavy late-game composition. It would work better with
say, Lee Sin/Nami or Janna/and Maokai/Irelia. This would give some
stronger mid-game power whose weakness to a stronger mid-game focused
team could be overcome by 5v5 synergy. The whole composition they
fielded just felt wonky and had to have a good early-game to have any
chance of succeeding.
Oops on
that level 1. SHR really got screwed by it and everyone but Orianna
behind. SHR ran head long into bad fights after this, perhaps to try
to recover, understanding that they needed to, or just for bad
choices. Who knows.
Going
forward I hope SHR just, laugh this one off, look at the compositions
and how out-matched they were, and move into a more solid composition
next round. Flesh out that support pick, and a different jungler, at
least with this team composition.
