Qiyana

He's a lot of damage, but it's all burst damage and maneuverability, so it's not like raw DPS, like a right-clicking champion, right? Nevertheless, I still thought this was a window I think Invictus kind of screwed up in this game.

I can understand why they didn't do it, because Lion still had three heavy damage duos up in the Qiyana and the other two carries.

So I understand why they didn't go for it, but I felt like it was an opportunity for them to at least bait it.

And they just didn't even do anything with it really.

Fair play, they executed.

And then you had, of course, the second game they played against CFO where they had got Qiyana 4-5 somehow with Kalista, Renata, Cassio.

This is basically four champions that are getting banned every game in round two and round three and probably in round four too in the games that are coming.

I think that continuing on that momentum in best of threes, especially against T1, I think if this was a matchup that happened earlier, I think the earlier it happens, the better chances you have.

We've watched Canyon as well.

On Qiyana.

You know, so like, oh, the Qiyana one is a good example.

His first two games, yeah.

I mean, we watched Shadow have a great game on his Qiyana as well.

I think he ended up losing that game.

No, the

CFO win against TL.

Shortly after that, there was a little bit more momentum for Invictus with a kill on Ruler in the bottom lane, but Gen.G actually managed to claw back some of the deficit by picking up a shutdown on Rookie, who got chased from mid while that bot fight was happening, and he kind of just got picked off in transition.

So the shutdown went to Canyon's Qiyana, which ended up mattering a lot in this game.

Didn't realize it at the time, but it mattered a lot eventually.

Another extremely, extremely close fight at the second dragon around the 12 minute and 10 second mark.

And there's so many things you can pair with him now.

Things like the Qiyana, the Niko, as well as the traditional Orianna.

I know Qiyana is mostly in the jungle, but I still think she can be played mid-lane if... somebody wants to break her out so i i got the uh the nocturne pick here um but speaking of some of those other names have also been listed bickle and mazel have the same one so i'm going to give this one to bickle who do you have

uh 80 jungler assassin kiana

There we go.

And if you are not capable of playing those, you're going to be at a significant disadvantage.

Lee Sin, Qiyana, Nocturne has been mentioned already by Kirei.

It is a lot of champions that you need to be ready and willing to execute on because there is a clear hierarchy of which jungler is the strongest available.

Because It's like Lee Sin, and then there's the Qiyana, then there's the Wukong, and it just trickles down, and you need to be able to slam this.

Otherwise, you are at a disadvantage.

So any mechanical jungler out there should be very happy.

They would just run the map.

And I think Jose Diodo, is a mechanical player, plays a very streamlined game, and he looks very, very good on his champs.

Because you look at even the C9 Fury, the first game that we played, that was, in my mind, I think... a very, very losing draft for the enemy team.

Like we had Lucian, Emilio, Rumble, Syndra, Qiyana.

We had like very, very big composition against what the enemy offered.

And even that game was very hard for us to finish.

Got a good matchup against Galio.

And they had Qiyana jungle as well.

So they went from four tanks in game one to a four tank single core in game one to a five core, a five carry composition in game two.

Pretty wild change.
