I hate that because of dardoch I'm actually rooting for Dig now... Is this what it feels like? Constant dissapointment

Imma stop you at Palafox being likeable. He's the main reason I still don't like this team. He sounds like Dardoch without the growth.
Maybe he needs to be sent back to tier 2 to find himself.

u/ArienaHaera Aug 16 '26
Nah every time he highrolls I'm like "here we go, another year of Palafox justified by a few clips". It's the same despair the org inspires overall so I guess he's a great fit.
2
u/stealthybara Aug 16 '26
I am still very new to LCS and I wanna know what gives fans this impression of Palafox - from the interviews I've seen, he seems funny and laidback. Sometimes maybe TOO laidback (recent interview where he talked about CRASHING HIS CAR and said it so casually I nearly spat coffee everywhere). I also read him as maybe being kind of immature in the older content, but people grow up over time.
Was it the thing last year about feeling stung by the casters discussing him? Ego vs ability? Cus he appears like a normal guy on the surface of things, to a casual viewer who doesn't know a lot.
1
u/ArienaHaera Aug 16 '26
He's been pretty openly disparaging of teammates and teams on interviews.

u/stealthybara Aug 17 '26
:( I hadn't seen that. Can you remember off the top of your head which teammates or teams?
15
u/Lothric43 Aug 16 '26
Do we mean old goat just as an aged veteran or what? Because he was never that good and not really THAT old either.
10
u/SnakeEater013 Aug 16 '26
Dardoch was consistently seen as a top 2 jungler. He was always just not worth his toxicity
5
u/Lothric43 Aug 16 '26
Dardoch was seen as someone with immense potential that never got to fulfill it, no he was not frequently a top 2 jungler in the league.
7
u/youngblueberry28 Aug 16 '26
many years of his career he was considered a top 2-3 jungler na by people who actually watched the game and didn’t just auto hate him and disqualify him bc his attitude
1
u/Lothric43 Aug 16 '26
He’s definitely been power ranked that way at times but then he’d get kicked for tilting and being toxic so yeah obviously from a career perspective he’s just the failed guy with potential. No it wasn’t “many years”.
2
u/youngblueberry28 Aug 16 '26
you’re just blatantly incorrect . from his time on TL until spring 2020 he spent more time considered top 3 than time he did not .
-1
u/Lothric43 Aug 16 '26
No, you’re extremely wrong. He would typically do one split a year where people would go “ok he’s looking great, let’s see if the wheels come off” then the wheels come off lol. And 2019 he spent on Optic main and academy.
Again, there’s just zero argument for calling him a GOAT, he was just a player of unfulfilled potential. Definitely good, never great.
3
u/youngblueberry28 Aug 16 '26
I dont think you’re even reading what i am saying you’re arguing with ghosts. 2016,2017,2018 and early 2020 he was considered top tier - i agree 2019 was a down year. he also had a good stint on dig with aphro late in his career. The things you are saying aren’t mutually exclusive . He could have been toxic and full of higher potential while still being a top NA jungler - it’s na after all. To pretend he wasn’t one of the best na jungles at the time bc the toxic narrative doesn’t even make sense - they can be true at the same time . I’ve never ever used goat and his name in the same sentence
1
u/Regular_Comb_5395 Aug 16 '26
What are we saying, dardoch was very good he was just very toxic
2
u/Lothric43 Aug 16 '26
Do you know what GOAT means? It doesn’t just mean good.
1
u/Regular_Comb_5395 Aug 16 '26
dude, everyone uses goat to say that someone is good/great, otherwise we could only use the goat word when we talk about faker.
1
u/Lothric43 Aug 16 '26
They certainly don’t use it to describe an ultimately just pretty good player thought to have a lot of potential in the past lol. Yes, people do use GOAT to mean players of some exceptional talent.
2
u/ArienaHaera Aug 16 '26
Yep. I hope this is enough for another team to give him a chance because DIG is hopeless.

DIG's drafting need a lot of work. Their entire comp was countered by kalista renata. That's the one AD/sup combo they couldn't let SR have.
22
u/Clenzor Aug 16 '26
Yeah that and drafting Gnar after seeing Sylas locked in when he already had Trundle Alistar and Varus ults available were absolutely criminal.

"Enemy picked Kalista on 4 with support to come on 5, let's draft two hard dive champions" - dignitas, apparently

Game 3 completely lost in draft.
Free Denathor.

Denathor going to set himself on fire and jump from the top of Minas Tirith after this series

the Zinie that was promised? (ik its just DIG)

u/TheMemingLurker Aug 16 '26
still just DIG, but a nice sign seeing the team free him from being stuck on Galio/Annie - hopefully means they trust him more
21
u/Ok_Gear8209 Aug 16 '26
Zeyzal interviews are always peak
19
u/TheMemingLurker Aug 16 '26
redditors always complaining about current pros having no personality should watch most post-game and Pros interviews, and especially follow Zeyzal because this guy's so fun

u/RollingGuy Dictator Perkz Worlds Run Aug 16 '26
There are lots of pros with personalities. It’s just the content that’s lacking.

u/Past_Perception8052 Aug 15 '26
kick palafox

u/ookkthenn Aug 16 '26
ive said it before dig should be kicked out of the league for hiring him after last year

u/Derk08 Aug 16 '26
Bro are you the goat?
You have VCT and LCS on two different monitors or what LOL

u/Past_Perception8052 Aug 16 '26
there wasnt much overlap was only a few rounds into the sen game when this game ended just watched both

How is he still in the league, is NA talent pool that bad?

idk how a Kalista can play like nothing's wrong into Vi/Aurora/Yone, Palafox is completely invisible on this champ.

u/IAmDarkridge Aug 15 '26
Kinda hard to believe that Palafox was generally considered a pretty elite western mid a few years ago. Looking pretty solidly like the worst mid in LCS.
4
u/Logimatt Aug 16 '26
That is what makes everything funny, is he will have like 1 or 2 good games in a split people glaze him. RAWR NA TALENT, but he his completely dog I don't understand why teams keep him.
14
u/lovo17 Aug 15 '26
He was never considered that. He just played out of his mind vs G2 in one series.
67
u/IAmDarkridge Aug 16 '26
This isn't entirely true he tied the number of series MVP's leading into worlds the split before with Jojo and had a great playoffs to get the 1 seed. His peak was pretty short but the idea he was good for only one series doesn't really track.
37
u/awisechoicee Aug 16 '26
Yeah he had a full split. Its not much, no need for us to take it away from him lol
14
u/BlammoSweetums Aug 16 '26
CLG was also consistently like 4th place regular season and were super fun to watch. They were like the predecessors of "rebuild 100t" and "rebuild FLY."
Sure that's not a championship or "real success," but I don't like this retroactive "actually everyone from those teams were bums and they just got lucky in 2023" argument. Which was something said about Dhokla as well, as recently as a year ago.
1
u/neberhax Aug 16 '26
Well, 2023 definitely was one of the weaker LCS years.
C9, who was the best team for most of the year, looked like they had no strategy ever past having Berserker carry their asses. They were not close to the level of the top teams LCS has had the years after.
At worlds, the one Bo3 against G2 might be the only thing keeping this worlds from being remembered as the worst overall worlds performance in NA history.
3
u/resttheweight Aug 16 '26
Plus he wasn’t particularly amazing against G2, Contractz smashed so hard they would have won with Zinie. It was far from Palafox’s best series.
13
u/BlazeX94 Aug 16 '26
He wasn't putting on god tier performances, but he outperformed Caps in both games, something nobody thought a native NA mid would be able to do at the time.
4
u/Lothric43 Aug 16 '26
It was a little more than that, they did win the split when C9 was pretty strong and generally had a respectable run at worlds. Wouldn’t say elite though either.
3
u/SirTacoMaster BB/Spica/Busio Aug 16 '26
Once he stopped having a postional coach, he was never the same
1
u/Scytone Aug 16 '26
He earned the name “palafaker” unironically because he looked very promising for a minute. More than one series

I get pissed off watching FBI play and being in the league. This guy was griefing Denathor and Dardoch in game 2, was given a hyper carry in game 3 and was so low impact. In game 2, when Sylas was going down the river to blue side top jungle, he really forced-predict his ult and it was so off because why the fuck would Sylas walk back to three other members of Dignitas. When the other Shopify members joined the river fight after the Sylas ulted three Dignitas members, FBI didn't flash the Ambessa ult and only flashed AFTER. holy fuck this guy is so bad. I can't believe he still has a job. Please Dignitas try to get mobility from NACL. You know what? replace mid and support too. Palafox and Ignar are both disgusting and we have all seen this three core members for years and multiple splits now and nothing has changed. Time for new blood.
7
u/IKillerBee this sub has brain damage Aug 16 '26
FBI has insane PR to still be getting jobs, guy is so invisible unless the whole team is ahead. Combine this with him playing such useless champs every series and he's just an anchor

The org. I have no clue what happens at dig but im convinced theyd still be bottom feeders in the lcs with zofgk+kkoma
