Lol Piglet, might want to stick to ADC... 300 cs to 180 cs... unfortunate.

I might be reading this wrong but he is 3rd in Gold % for his team but is 7th in Damage % among other tops. His lane phase is meh considering he's down -5.6 cs at around 10 mins which isn't bad but does need to improve as he's next to last in this.
His CS per min (5th) is actually really good considering players like Ssumday, Seraph and Flame does nothing but split pushes all game so they will have high CS per min.

Yeah, but top laners in general are just not converting gold into straight damage. That's not only Lourlo thing, in general barring few exceptions mentioned above, Gold is going into tank stats to aid the team (think of immortals Nautilus tanking 31 tower shots and Maokai) Lourlo is not excelling in that but he isn't being too subpar in that

In addition to that, his Gold Share numbers are skewed upwards because GoldenGlue was the midlaner with the lowest Gold share in the entire league (except for Alex Ich subbing in for NV when LirA had visa issues at the start of the split, but that was a peculiar situation because it wasn't team choice to play mid while putting a non jungler like Ninja in jungle struggling a ton- P.S. I never understood why in that situation they didn't go for Alex jungle and Ninja mid, tbh - ), so his Gold Share numbers are higher than what they should be if he had an at least average mid laner (and Piglet is not going to be at the top of the charts in farming by the way)

If I had to mix Lourlo with another to make both teams strong I would switch him with Seraph/NV. Maybe it doesn't make much sense but I do think Lourlo is an excellent player if the game goes around 40+ mins and Seraph is a player that will die constantly but is lane minded in a sense to just push- push - push. He will also listen to Reignover and Piglet as Seraph may be meh as a player for about 4 years now but he does put team before self. Lourlo would be good with NV because like most of the players on NV they are decent early but need help late game something I do think Lourlo can do well on. Lourlo is like 9 wins out of 20 total 40+ min games in his career, he's won 6 40+ min games in this split alone while losing 5 40+ min games so the improvement on knowing and producing late game for Lourlo is there but with TL they're just not getting to the late game, they were at the start of the split but now they aren't.

Honestly they would both be worse swapping. TL can't go for an early dominant strategy of winning every lane and translate it to late game with Seraph because they have always a losing lane either in mid or bot with GG or Youngbin/Matt, and Seraph is bad late game so they would be crippling theirself reducing even further their win conditions NV right now is bad at late game, but at least have a clear strength in early when all the lanes are average to above average + they have a very good early game pressure jungler and with the swap they would lose the only strength they actually have as Lourlo isn't a terrible but is a below average laner. They should aim fix their post 15 min shotcalling (for how much is possible given a player like seraph will never be good at that), especially control of the first drake which is generally the moment when NV start losing their momentum and start to deteriorate their lead and their overall level of play
