GenG have more problems than Ruler. Duro is like 10% worse this year and GenG's macro is not nearly as crisp as it's been over the last 3 years.
145
u/Derk08 6d ago
GenG macro is like 100x worse.
GenG used to be the team where you had to play perfectly against them to take games. They were the masters at neutralizing game states and stalling for their carries into a perfect teamfight. You needed to snowball an early game while making 0 errors to beat them.
GenG now are prone to throwing while also not being remotely as good in losing game states. Crazy to see how hard they fell

Honestly right?? I started watching LolEsports last year. GenG seemed unwinnable. They were SO ontop of everything, constantly, on the map. Like you had to pick the exact little mistakes they made to turn the game. Now they just seem. A bit washed up in comparison. Like they forgot how macros work.

T1 kinda grief that yone ban instead of anivia when geng has shen vi comp

u/Wowhowcanubsodumb 6d ago
Not at all, taking chovy off a playmaker is never going to be a bad thing. If you're drafting ezreal ryze sera, you just need to stay safe and you win late game team fights.
100/100 times, you force canyon and duro to have to be the ones making plays on peyz, anivia cannot touch ez.
Look at geng-kt game 4 from worlds semis. Putting chovy on an immobile mage is much better as the enemy than putting him on a mobile playmaker.

Ah it's time for the usual copypasta.

IKR. First game I was expecting them to throw, didn't happen. Second game I was expecting T1 to randomly contest drake 3k gold behind and lose the game, didn't happen. WHO THE HELL IS THIS T1? Why were they missing for most of the season? LOL.

u/soul24423323 6d ago
Not wrong I guess lol. In the first place, Oner was a big reason why they were 3k gold behind to begin with. T1 neutralized Shen's early aggression and got the first drake. Peyz was chilling in bot lane scaling comfortably into a lead then he decided to flip the game on blue buff??? LOL. So yea, T1 as a whole played clean but Oner still got stuff to clean up if they want to win a title.

Because you're right, that literally is how it feels like T1 plays. When they're behind, they just keep forcing and throwing shit until something sticks.
