The mighty Jarvan was nerfed<\/a> yesterday and the Giant Slayer European Cup<\/a> playoffs saw the first tournament games post-nerf. How bad is Jarvan now? Spoiler alert: Jarvan won 4 out of 5 games. Jarvan: 1, TFT balancing team: 0. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The first game had only 3 Jarvan players, 6th place… and 1st and 2nd. After that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jhin, Shaco, and Xerath are solid units on their own; give them some Dark Star power, and they win you games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The pros have definitely noticed Janna’s potential and have started to prioritize her. Expect to see more of her in your lobbies soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Janna’s CV summary:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Put Shojin on Janna because Janna + Shojin = Tornado Time.<\/strong> In the last round of the 4th game, FluffyHS<\/a>‘s Janna cast her spell 3 times in 6 seconds<\/strong>! Here is his game-winning board:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Janna also won a game with her Star Guardian buddies, Syndra and Neeko. Perhaps this is this another viable comp coming soon to a lobby near you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Maybe it just wasn’t their day, or maybe this just isn’t their meta. Cybernetic + Infiltrator Irelia managed to squeeze in a win. Astro Sniper nabbed a 2nd place finish in the last lobby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other comps might be viable, but pros aren’t taking that risk when $4000<\/strong> is on the line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Congrats to CaptainRodrigues<\/a> for winning day 2. You can watch the tournament replay here<\/a>. Giant Slayer is primarily known for their tournaments, but they have great video guides<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dark Star continues to dominate, Janna + Shojin is getting more attention, and Irelia Infiltrator is still good. Don’t be afraid to play uncontested comps in your lobby, but if the game gives you a lot of Dark Star units… make Dark Star lemonade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The mighty Jarvan was nerfed yesterday and the Giant Slayer European Cup playoffs saw the first tournament games post-nerf.
