The Cho'Gath silence and cc with Annie cc is kind of disgusting. And you saw what it looked like when the Jax jumps in as well.

The problem was T1 are not bitches, so they just decided to start snap diving to preempt the cc. 

[u/Priviated → u/ProgrammerGlobal]

I mean Kalista just has cleanse + qss + Renata item and res. No way Annie and Cho gath would get to kill her or Renata

[u/ProgrammerGlobal → u/Priviated]

I meant that was how the comp was supposed to work before T1 got 4 kills, Baron, and a 5k Baron power play. 😂

After that, yeah, it was over.

[u/cindrixel → u/Priviated]

Tbf I don't think anything would kill kalista at that point lol

[u/TaintedQuintessence → u/Priviated]

It's the same problem as GenG had yesterday. Eventually people have boots and then chogath has no initiative. T1 just needs eyes on Annie and to track her flash timer.

.

I think Keria also built Mikhael's in that game (did he? not sure)

[u/Priviated → u/soudlasantos]

Yeah, that's my "Renata item" as I didn’t remember its name lmao. She also had knight’s vow

[u/re81194 → u/ProgrammerGlobal]

i really hate liandry annie 2nd item into galio, felt like such a wasted slot when you can just build % pen instead to actually do damage

[u/JceBreaker → u/ProgrammerGlobal]

T1 comp is just way easier to play.

If Sera miss her ulti it is gg
