To begin, Meteos gives listeners a behind-the-scenes peek inside the QA team and the play testing they’ve done on the announced Season 2 changes. Alternate builds, more versatility and creativity, item adjustments- looks like we’re gearing up for an exciting next step in Demacia! Next up: one of the hottest topics for high ELO-players: rank and MMR reset. With every reset comes the age-old debate… shorter queue times or perfect matchmaking? You can’t have both, so which would you choose? Our hosts also recapped LCS Spring Week 3, where C9 and TLAW have solidified themselves as undefeated leaders. Sentinels, on the other hand, picked up their first win. Could this be the momentum they need to push toward playoffs? Teams like DSG, DIG, and FLY still have more to show, this stage is far from over! After breaking down last week’s matches, Azael, Kobe, and Meteos shared their predictions heading into Week 4.
