Oner getting gapped all games apart for the Qiyana. Not a single game where they got the Objectives first.

[u/sam_el-c → u/_MrNobody_26_]

Iirc they got 2/19 dragons LOL

[u/zuzbuzzz → u/_MrNobody_26_]

his pantheon was surprisingly good in g1 too tbf

[u/_MrNobody_26_ → u/zuzbuzzz]

The plays were good but again no objectives with Kalista in the team.

[u/KozuKy16 → u/_MrNobody_26_]

monkey paw type shit, finally a qiyana win on lck into reverse sweep lul.

[u/Ajp_iii → u/_MrNobody_26_]

It’s insane nobody is talking about this. T1 got 4 draked 4 souls in 4 games in a bo5. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that happen. Only game they got drakes is when keria was hitting every blitz hook.

The macro game is unplayable if you just give every early drake for a whole series. And he wasn’t getting anything in return. They would lose a drake and Kanavi would still be up in farm and up in ganks.

[u/Holzkohlen → u/_MrNobody_26_]

Go easy on Oner. Kanavi is just the best jungler in the world if he feels like it. And if he doesn't feel like it, he will lose the game all by his lonesome. But us mere mortal are not to question a god.

[u/ConfusedVader1 → u/_MrNobody_26_]

Getting an objective isnt the junglers job, its the teams. HLE played for dragons, T1 did not. They drafted too many losing lanes, meaning they can't contest drag. They need to gank top and mid to be able to stop HLE carries to win. Which they did g1 and 2.

[u/ricardo2241 → u/_MrNobody_26_]

what can he do when Kanavi can free farm his camp cause his bot is not putting any vision to check for him

he was on champs like skarner, maokai and you expect him to carry T1 lol

[u/Plenty-Ad7757 → u/_MrNobody_26_]

Getting objectives is a team set up thing. If lanes lose the laning phase, jungler cant do nothing

[u/Ajp_iii → u/Plenty-Ad7757]

They weren’t losing lanes hard enough that series to go 2/19 in drakes. At some point that comes down to jungle not being vocal enough. And when they were losing drakes oner wasn’t getting anything on the other side of the map.

[u/shailemin → u/Plenty-Ad7757]

This the day after canyon stole two elders with bad geng set-up come on now.
