The state of NA at Rift Rivals
This is why we can’t have nice things.

Wow and to think I was more excited for Rift Rivals than I was for MSI before MSI........jesus(takes a drink)
Also, these games fuc$ing suck! Yes, I know EU is bending NA over and such but it's also a bit of the meta and I"m sorry but this meta are nothing but 20 min stomps and has been for awhile now.
Every International tournament has gotten more and more
and feels more like "silver elo" in my opinion
Worlds 2018 32.30 mins per game - 23 kills per game
MSI 2019 30.44 mins per game - 28 kills per game
RR(EU v NA) 27.29 mins per game - 30 kills per game
Yeah, this is what I personally want to see Riot especially from International tournaments.........stomps, exactly what I said would happen with such meta/new league.
I personally don't care as much if EU beats NA but the games themselves are boring and while I'll give credit where credit is due with Europe(LEC) I'm just saying how bad this new League of Mortal Kombat is at the moment.
I keep tuning in to RR hoping to at least see a match that isn't a complete rout.... no joy thus far.
(I was asleep during TL match earlier....too bad)
It's funny, because coming out of MSI people thought that G2 >>>> EU and the NA teams were more "clumped". Rift Rivals shows that at least in international play its the other way around. That said, my one takeaway from this is that had MSI been on this patch Liquid wouldn't have lost to G2 AS badly as they did. (altho either team MIGHT have been eliminated before Finals anyway) I'm not sure about other champs, but Sylas was CLEARLY broken on the MSI patch and Caps was just way too good on that champ on that patch.
Or else, we can say Liquid lost at MSI, BUT they also clearly either learned a LOT or else just got a lot of personal instruction from Steve about hitting skillshots. [sg-miss-fortune]
Makes you wonder if it's worth to continue watching the NA summer split after those kind of international stomps. Would be quite a shame if NA can't even take a game of EU.
