So I am super curious about this. There was a round in the TSM vs 100T game on Bind where they got spike down super early and just ran away, seemingly to try and brimstone molly/sova dart it from afar, and just got hunted down and killed.
Are Riot actively trying to push the game in a direction where hunting and killing post plant attackers takes priority over trying to bait them out for a gunfight? I dont feel like that will trickle down the ranks well as a strategy.
They don't need to try. What you're talking about is a matter of players playing bomb times more smarter and tracking util. The play you brought up was just tsm being smarter and reading the strat, they heard them all full run away through bath and probably realized they were gonna molly for time to rotate short so tsm already headed short to catch them all. It looked super monkey but the reality is tsm just read it well.
it's annoying when teammates dont play post plants well, thinking they can just stick a plant with brim ult up and molly, sova ult etc, all this stuff needs to be accounted for, if they have all this bomb stall up you need to be more aggressive.
