You've got to have such a high respect for Rekkles. The guy not only benched himself to humble himself, but to make sure he's improving his gameplay based on the meta. That to me, sounds like Goku going into the hyperbolic time chamber. Rekkles is Goku.
That proves Caps was carrying Rekkles. Proof is in the last year and a half. People will overhype Rekkles to no end. Still waiting for him to be the 1v9 god people make him out to be. Give me Perkz/Doublelift/Caps even now over Rekkles.
@@macedo8410 You were amazing during world, thank for supporting G2 all along. Don't worry, we french are gonna take the role now. We are hype as we are cancer
Nah. I can remember those stupud UOL fans screaming 'we are all... Unicorns' for the whole game and then leaving. Bcs the didn't even have the respect to watch the other teams play.
Well, Rekkles was only "forced to play supportive champions like Janna, Karma" due one fact. Ornn got banned. Rekkles was the only FNC player playing Ornn during scrims so he didnt pratice Janna or Karma, like he said it was his 1st time playing Karma.
@@lorenzomariani7386 ADCs werent viable, Draven specifically was. Crit items were the things that got hit with a lot of nerfs, but a champion like draven who rushed Bloodthirster or someone like miss fortune who could build lethality were perfectly fine
Daniel B There's no debate there. Rekkles, TL and many other ADCs admitted in many interviews that Uzi was the hardest to lane against. He's probably the best in the world right now.
fucking love this man. Much respect. Not many people that would bench themself, even if you kind of ''need'' to do it. Amazing run at the worldsstage Fnatic and Rekkles. Hope we can get shit together in 2020
fck yall saying caps solo carry. broxah and hylissang had to feed him 70% of the times he got fed. and if he didnt get fed he just inted untill someone else stepped up to carry. not saying he is a bad player, and he is clearly one of if not the best midlaner in EU. but this was probably also one of the best team eu has ever seen. yall forget rekkles also shotcalls in the games, hyli roams, broxah takes over jungle even without mid prio sometimes and bwipo does bwipo stuff. to bad caps left without any reason other than "i wanna play more aggresive" and then fcking joins g2. imagine wasting perkz talent on a role swap. but it seems like it's working, can't wait til MSI. cuz thats when you see who really will take it all. this meta just favors winning 1v1 over actual teamplay
Alright, let me explain. Draven is an extremely powerful early game adc. Since Rekkles picked Janna with Rakan bot lane, Draven is an easy option to completely destroy both of them as they are extremely squishy. You may have noticed that Janna and Rakan have a lot of CC, which is why its a Morgana support. Essentially if you can’t at least get 2 kills against this matchup as Draven, you shouldn’t be playing ADC, since no matter how hard ADC gets nerfed, that was an extremely free lane. After Draven gets ahead in bot lane, he can rotate to mid and fuck the Kaisa up, pretty much snowballing their way. Of course if Kaisa can scale to late game they can win the game, but Draven simply destroyed the enemy comp before the champion started to fall off and Kaisa starts to outscale. This is all based on my assumptions. I am a D4 player and i have NOT seen the draft. So i am assuming the Draven was a counterpick.
ADC's nerfed to the ground played against Hans Sama's Draven. Adc main so I know how it felt but the comment was kinda false crit adcs were nerfed into the ground Kaisa, Draven, Kog, Lucian or even MF were picks that were feasible
Yea i agree. Adc's do have dmg, but they are too squishy. A fed bruiser deletes a fed adc in no time. When the meta changed i did play varus (on hit build) and it kinda worked, but when i made a transition towards haimer swain and ahri, yes ahri bot i started winning a lot more games and i just felt like i have a bigger impact in the midgame then i do on marksmans.
Guschti Fake if played properly adcs can have very strong laning phases, due to their long range they can outpoke their opponents. A lot of adcs have outplay potential (Vayne, Kaisa, Lucian) coupled with a bit of lifesteal and a good support, they can survive against most bruisers. The reason why assasins are so popular are because they are the only sure way of shutting down adcs, sure a Fiora/Jax can try but honestly with a bit of peel and positioning you should be fine. Most teamfights are defined when the carries die, the longer you survive the better chance you have to win a fight. When Rekkles was benched the only few adcs available would be defined in draft, there were many more mages/bruisers that could work out in bot, due to their higher stats. The main reason was that those changes in picks changed the way fights were played, which is where Rekkles shines the most I think thats why he benched himself.
I do... As a support main I know exactly what you mean. You can go 4-1-43 and your adc 8-5-13 and he will still get the credit. Hylissang is imo the best support in the world, when he's on top of his game. Unfortunaly being on top means he has to take risks meaning when he fucks up, its really bad. But as a whole he is absolutely a top tier international player. Hylissang, the unsung hero. Doesn't get enough credit for sure.
Classic Story: USA Player gets benched after his Role got Nerfed, comes back after his Role got a New broken Stand xD Reminds me of all the American Top Lane Player which switched their Role after Top Lane Nerfs and Come back after Top Lane buffs xDD quiet sad xD
Damn i was so sad to not be able to be there in the arena, but i watched it live on stream and damn i enjoyed every single game, and im just so happy that rekkles is back
Damn rekkles used to be so fine this year. He was getting bulky in a really hot way. Now he's super gaunt, which has its own appeal, but I'm not personally into it.
The think i dont understand is !Riot nerfed Adc to the ground and rekkles was forced to play janna and but in the first klip we see Hans sama playing ADC and destroying everyone x Should not it be FNC forced rekkles to play around caps ?
WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF META DID I MISS IN S8???! I'm a minute in and i see kaisa with smite, janna rakan bot, taric 'jungles' with exhaust... for the love of the game what was this meta??
There were not many playable ADCs at the time. Xayah - Rakan was a little viable, Draven was Hans Sama's one trick pony, and other than that ADCs were far worse than mages.
I'd say top 5...cause the top 3 probably go to deft, uzi, pray...not in that particular order but like...it's deft uzi and pray...nothing against rekkles he's Def a god tier adc but saying he's better than at least one of those guys...idk...
well deft was still a kid in 2015 and if u watch his LCK performance this year this guy is so insane. I am 100% sure he would clap uzi thi. I dont rate pray that high tbh i would say: Deft Uzi Rekkles/Ruler/Kramer
I'm a huge Rekkles fan but the LPL and LCK have some gems in the ADC position, there are quite a few to name. I hope things go well for FNC at worlds this year.
After that final match, rekkles and caps were interviewed by quickshot and he just couldn't talk because everyone was shouting his name xD

Just wait till you see Uzi

draven is god tier adc... the adcs rekkles plays werent in a good spot (hypercarries)
i know but he said that he was playing trist and so on but when Caps and Soaz came back from korea they started playing gold funel
Alright, let me explain.

@@zyronltz7494 Nope its just hans comfort pick
Then that's even better. He'd smash the lane harder on a champion he's comfortable with.
i mean when the meta is taric, janna, rakan with jungle kaisa, I would bench myself too.
I would like to see rekkles this happy again
:c
That patch was the start of the end of LoL
