Allstar LCK vs LPL only proves that ranged champions are better than melee ones in this game

This is pretty much an undisputable fact

Not even faker can win when he's on a all melee vs an all-ranged team

Yeah because All Melee was the biggest problem for the KR team with that comp. What about the two supports and No AP damage? Did you notice those?

KR looks like they got handicapped so we didn't get a repeat of worlds SMH.

And lack of hard CC.

This was a good example of Riot balance and competence. Or lack thereof.

Actually they had a ton of hard CC what with the Braum and Alistar.

Having a team with shit tons of anti-melee champions such as Anivia, Azir, Ashe (gap closer or bust), Thresh, and Graves certainly didn't help.

Graves kills the melee harder for coming into melee. Anivia makes getting to them nearly impossible. Azir has a huge AoE disengage and is hard to engage on anyways. Ashe can engage at will and no one escapes once they start fighting Ashe. Thresh is a peel/rescue bot and great against melee clumps.

Give em something like Sona, Sivir, TF, Malzahar, Kayle and that game woulda been hella different.

That team is just as anti melee honestly lol

People don't understand: pretty much all forms of crowd control are anti melee since it prevents a melee from getting to a target and doing damage. A rsnged champion can eat crowd control and still do damage afterward or even during that crowd control.

I'd take 1000+ range spells on champions like Lux, Xerath over being a melee assassin like Zed and Talon with mobility any day of the week because the range is safer and does much more for a team. The only exception is tanks since they're able to CC and damage soak. Any non melee tank basically gets removed from the game with all the cc and range.

Idk why they would pick 2 melee supports bot, but that might be the reason they lost lol.

Supposedly these were picks by the fans and not the players. I say supposedly because I don't by the fans having the power to pick for the players and having Faker end up on Lee Sin and not Riven, Le Blanc, or Zed.

they were voted on by the community.

It also showed that kite based champs are good against kiteable champs.

Seriously their team was Anivia Ashe Thresh Azir Graves . With the exception of Graves every champ on that team has A+ to S+ peeling and disengage. That comp should shit on an all melee team, but an all melee team doesn't happen in a serious match.

well isnt that the problem? an all melee team is "troll" and "not serious" but an all ranged team is extremely viable and happens often with kindred jungle being so good right now.

Ashe/janna/anivia/kindred/gnar would be a perfectly viable and strong comp

Didn't one of the casters outright say that?

i think it proves that giving power to the lol community is a no no

You really needed proof?

CubedJusticeDec 11, 20151 votes

I don't see how this is even a problem or a debate. Being ranged has always been an advantage. Why do you expect having less attack range to be just as good? They're supposed to pay for it in other places, and the fact that they aren't isn't a sign that range is overpowered, just that balance is horrible right now in general.

Yeah when I saw it I was like: lol gg. The I thought: actually if they can tank up they'll be able to just face-tank cos they have too many tanks to get bursted. Then I realised Azir Anivia and 2 ADCs. That whole thing felt scripted
