Agreed, hopefully he'll make another season again. The new items/changes will make for some great content no matter what elo, at least for a couple more months when items have been balanced and new metas have been discovered.
Your commentary makes these iron spectates so much better, please keep doing these. You do a great job of not making fun of the players but just having fun watching the tom foolery. Love it
I see myself in every single play that they make, i've bought full armour when the enemy team has 4 AP and i'm laning vs the only AD champion, i've done everything in this game and more - we are not so different, and that's something to be celebrated
Also very nice to see a solid iron spectates with no bots/DCs/rage quits/intentional griefing/etc. Just 10 presumably iron players trying at least a little bit to win.
I literally started watching your channel because of Iron Spectates, so I always love it. I think you do really good commentary. You try to analyze what the people are thinking and give them a fair shot. I don't feel like it's tearing anyone down, which I think you had at one point stated as your reason for not making more of these videos.
@Ross 22:35 To be fair, for the first 15 min of the game, kennen had no items and was basically just aa harassing her. So going armor isn't too bad of an idea
Most low elo top laner just straight up build brainless Armor Items, no matter what the enemy team looks like. In many games it's fine to do, but they don't adapt if it'S not fine, like in this game. I've seen Iron games where the top lane Malphite builds up to 3 or 4 Armor Items, fighting against Gwen Top, Eve Jgl, Ahri Mid, Ez Bot and Leona Sup. Way too many Low Elo Players don't know what kind of damage the enemy does and I must admit, it's very complicated to know they type of damage 150+ different champs do. Even though they are stubborn, brainless or they don't know, it makes them look stupid.
34:25 Look, Ross. Don't question Kennen's build. He was just future proofing his damage in case the enemy team started building MR, ok? This is just proactive pen building instead of reactive.
I love that he didn't built any normal AP as well, just spell pen. Like once he buys a Rabadon's or something, he's sure going to be able to do damage!
Indeed. Haven't played for some years. After just a few matches i know exactly why i quit back then. Unranked is filled with smurfers and trolls on their 100th account. Can't imagine iron being any better.
Poppy building armor against a Kennen while the Kennen builds %magic pen on a 0 MR Poppy. Then Poppy proceeds to build a frozen heart on a Kennen that never gets close enough even for his ult to land.
WOOHOOO!!! Iron spectates is back, baby! I give this match a 9/10. Very entertaining, and the comps were fun to watch. The Poppy played smart, didn't int, and became a bit of a force mid-to-late game. Player should stick with that champ to really get their rhythm down.
I just want to say... This is crazy, Iron players are now... Just players that dont know ALL of the rules. Literally everyone of them will eventually be bronze, their cs albeit "bad" has so much upside I can see them being better than me in a year! Crazy stuff when an Iron gets 5 cs or even 4.5 per minute.
I feel like some of these people have to be children. Like there's no way the wind brothers aren't just two 14 year old homies tryina be wind bros together, c'mon. That kennen's behavior is hard to explain. Probably somebody who's new and also crossfaded.
I came back after about 8 years. I generally get gold rank with ease but this season I was in bronze for a while and struggling to get to gold as silver. The players are definitely better than ever
Finally, more Iron Spectates! :D Time to inflict brainrot on myself with the best plays around, even though the improvement of low elo has been shocking to see....
flat pen works better the less armor/MR the target have, and champions have some MR and armor without items, melee champions get MR per level against a tank, starting with the one that requires you to deal 30% of their health in 2 seconds to do something, is not a very good option, at least shadow flame only require target to be low health, and with poking way that lanes going, it probabily would happen but, i think would be better protobelt for kennen, but i'm not kennen player anyway
funny thing about zohyas is that most adc can build it even if they have ZERO ap scaling, because after 3 items you dont really need more damage, try it in a game (where you wernt already behind) before you flame
Once in flex I played against that exact botlane, tbf I was duoing with a friend and we were mundo adc tahm support, we lost the game but it wasn't our fault, the rest of our team got farmed for kills and we couldn't do anything
I'm not going to be nearly as down on Kennen's build as you were, because I've heard that with enough magic pen, you can bring them to negative resistances and effectively magic crit. What really bothers me though is that he got all this spell pen, and didn't bother with spell pen boots - the best and cheapest way to obtain it.
I don't quite understand the Sunfire instead of Hollow Radiance against a mostly ap team. The only thing the sunfire has over Hollow radiance is that 2 additional magic damage per tick (12 instead of 10) and the fact that it ramps up to 60% extra damage. In fights, that ramping damage is probably better if you're not killing minions in the middle of your fights, but hollow radiance is definitely better for pushing/split pushing. Maybe the poppy knows something we don't, although it's more likely they know very little.
as a silver player, i thought i was bad... then i saw these players. you can see the fear in both teams eyes as they stare down the barrel of what they already have written off as a loss. the ranged refuse to finish kills and the melee dont realize they can jump the ranged... and if they do they do it at the actual worst possible moment. its impressive. their movement is so unoptomized, they run around like headless chicken 90% of the game and stumble into kills. skill shots only hit when the enemy team walks into them. amazing.
Poppy may have gone sunfire first because it's (normally) one of her core items to rush ASAP, and it's also the most damaging OF the 3 bamis items. not saying it was a correct play against 4.5 ap enemy team (since Kaisa is hybrid), but thats probably what it was. she was probably autopiloting her purchaes.
When I was first getting into league, the friend haloing me was secretly making me into his ideal support cuz he wanted to do sej and yas in the bot lane
I'll always defend shadoflame first item. Admittedly I've played kennen a total of 1 times in S14, but on a lot of champs it juts outputs way more damage than other options like malignance or liandrys or whatever.
I had a friend that use to go to a Lan Center in LA, Children 100% play league of legends the amount of sub 10 year olds in there playing league every time he was in there was astonashing he said
You should check out Rew. He does this much better. Its more if he was commenting LCS than trying to figure out why Poppy builds Sunfire cap for 10 minutes lol. But I9 understand its live stream :D
“You don’t need a gank you need a financial advisor” is one of the best sentences I’ve ever heard lol
Gank*
Minor spelling mistake 😬🫵
oh no he has his airpods he can't hear us
Nothing to do with spelling, both are separate things. Probably wasn't fully listening, didn't relisten, and then posted it for likes.@@thatdudemario2403
That play at 19:38 broke my brain. These Iron players really are something else - I've never seen Faker himself dodge a skillshot with TF's ultimate
LMAO WHAT THE FUCK
that was crazy
If it looks stupid but it worked, ain't stupid then.
FAkeR wHat WAS thAT?!!??!
Absolutely insane
I've been binging your 4-5 year old iron spectates vids for the past two weeks. Brings joy to see there is now more.
Agreed, hopefully he'll make another season again. The new items/changes will make for some great content no matter what elo, at least for a couple more months when items have been balanced and new metas have been discovered.
Zac getting sweeper and refusing to ever use it is peak League.

33:03 the primal scream as Ross writhes in pain over this Kennen R
Man as a Kennen main, I wanted to scream as well. Also - where is the movement! Get Rocketbelt!
Havent played League in a while. But nice to see some things stay the same. Top lane being an island for the first 10 minutes
No one else cares about top lane for the first 20 minutes.
it's even worse now, since they removed the tri-bush gank angle against red side. There's just a wall there now, lmao
23:34 i can tell you Ross, she built it so she could tower drive easier because towers do physical damage.
Not even a minute in and we see the classic Yasuo Yone botlane duo
honestly i think its actualy good if you can ball hard enough.
the poppy is going for every item that looks like a shield to make her buckler stronger obviously
Also very nice to see a solid iron spectates with no bots/DCs/rage quits/intentional griefing/etc. Just 10 presumably iron players trying at least a little bit to win.
33:00 "what is wrong with you?"
He was imagining hitting them so hard, he forgot to imagine if he could.
I’m so ready for a return to Iron Spectates! Please can we have some more of this content, I’ve missed watching you do this.
return of a legendary series 🎉
I live for that anguished scream when Kenen ulted without flashing.
23:20 I've taken to calling it the Moonfire Aegis

@Ross 22:35 To be fair, for the first 15 min of the game, kennen had no items and was basically just aa harassing her. So going armor isn't too bad of an idea
My guess was she looked at the death recap and just saw like 80% physical
They hadn't died at that point, no chance to see a death recap yet. Most likely just blindly following a guide
@@flameofmage1099 my guess is she picked one of the reccomended items and built it with no understanding, then repeat that 3 times
@@jacksonmagas9698 Probably more likely lol
this sounds like iron talk.

Kai sa going 5/0/0 into running it down. The true iron experience.
Dumb support fault
_"Don't ask me about the build, I don't know either"_

Kennen should’ve come back to lane with a Deathcap, first item. Sell the ring for it
WOOOO HOOOOO MY FAVORITE ROSS CONTENT! Hope you are having a good day Ross.
ah yey this was what I needed to unwind this evening! always loved an iron spectates
lmao I heard you from glasgow before checking your twitter and confirming. Pretty sure saw you around town at some point!
I love these, hope we get more iron spectates through out the year
Ross thinking League is more complicated than my parents marriage 😂, bro just rush a Thornmail and run in to the towers!
Either I've been out of the game too long, or iron players have been seriously eating their spinach, I swear they're a lot better than they used to be
Indeed. Haven't played for some years. After just a few matches i know exactly why i quit back then.

I'm so glad to see these again, a great way to warm up for my demotion back to silver!
WOOHOOO!!! Iron spectates is back, baby!

Your Iron Spectates are great because you see yourself in every play, but your knowledge of the game provides genuine edutainment.

Damn it's been acou0le of years since I seen a video from Ross but I wasn't disappointed lol I even got to hear some Kirby.
I've missed these
I love this so much, it's always such a rollercoaster lmao
I feel like some of these people have to be children. Like there's no way the wind brothers aren't just two 14 year old homies tryina be wind bros together, c'mon. That kennen's behavior is hard to explain. Probably somebody who's new and also crossfaded.

I'm not an exceptional player but watching these guys makes me feel like a challenger
Twisted Fate spent 20 minutes approx from 21:00 to 38:00 for about 14 minions 😂😂
The MR sunfire explodes things on kill. Sunfire Cape scales in damage when fighting champions so it does more damage than the MR one.
Let's go, this kind of video is fun
i hope im alive to see the day ross gets to be a commentator for Worlds
Finally, more Iron Spectates! :D Time to inflict brainrot on myself with the best plays around, even though the improvement of low elo has been shocking to see....
16:18 classic aram maneuver
I actually adored this. Idk, you make a good announcer
flat pen works better the less armor/MR the target have, and champions have some MR and armor without items, melee champions get MR per level
against a tank, starting with the one that requires you to deal 30% of their health in 2 seconds to do something, is not a very good option, at least shadow flame only require target to be low health, and with poking way that lanes going, it probabily would happen
but, i think would be better protobelt for kennen, but i'm not kennen player anyway
I didn't even realize I missed iron spectates. Thank you sir rossington.

What a fall from grace for that kaisa. Went from 5/0/0 to 5/8/0 and then later died to minions. Unlucky.
watching this Kennen hurts my heart.
Watching the Poppy hurts my liver.
Let's gooooooo! Gotta love iron spectacles
I'm not going to be nearly as down on Kennen's build as you were, because I've heard that with enough magic pen, you can bring them to negative resistances and effectively magic crit.

can't wait to watch this right before I go to bedand stay up for and extra 40 minutes
"brand wasn't paying attention and zac was just running in circles" kinda got me for some reason, average league experience
as a silver player, i thought i was bad... then i saw these players. you can see the fear in both teams eyes as they stare down the barrel of what they already have written off as a loss. the ranged refuse to finish kills and the melee dont realize they can jump the ranged... and if they do they do it at the actual worst possible moment. its impressive. their movement is so unoptomized, they run around like headless chicken 90% of the game and stumble into kills. skill shots only hit when the enemy team walks into them. amazing.
Cam on, Ross, you can't just post an entire video about that Kennen's electrical dysfunction, that's _private_
do you change the names of players in these matches?
Iron spectates babbyyyyy
Poppy may have gone sunfire first because it's (normally) one of her core items to rush ASAP, and it's also the most damaging OF the 3 bamis items.
not saying it was a correct play against 4.5 ap enemy team (since Kaisa is hybrid), but thats probably what it was. she was probably autopiloting her purchaes.
To be fair, if i see the first three kills of the game, go to the enemy kai'sa i would also consider building armor
When I was first getting into league, the friend haloing me was secretly making me into his ideal support cuz he wanted to do sej and yas in the bot lane
Another Ross iron spectates mentioned. Wtf is a bad vid? Don't know'em
Thx for the content
This Poppy build is driving me INSANE
I missed iron spectated thanks for helping me fall asleep
jeeez havent seen an iron spectates in ages; ive missed it
I'll always defend shadoflame first item. Admittedly I've played kennen a total of 1 times in S14, but on a lot of champs it juts outputs way more damage than other options like malignance or liandrys or whatever.
Always a fan of these
I love this series
Balori makes videos with pen items since champions do have base MR and Armor
Yassss Iron spectates! We here for these
HECK YEAH!! Love you Ross ❤❤
I had a friend that use to go to a Lan Center in LA, Children 100% play league of legends the amount of sub 10 year olds in there playing league every time he was in there was astonashing he said
This series is pretty ironic
Nothing beats the lvl3 Yone itch to go in no matter the cost.
I need ross to roast one of my games lol
To be fair, I had a friend who was like 12 and he played league, but yeah I started at 16 and most of my friends started at 18 or so, accurate
ZAC FLASH GREEN EGG POT START IS CRAZY 😡
i missed iron spectates
Just played a karma mid game it was going so well I didn't realize I hadn't shopped and I had almost 6k gold
Came for yasou/yone, stayed for kenen
this is my team every time i get filled as adc
Poppy goes to counter Kennen with Armor and Kennen responds with Magic pen. I see no issue. No issue at all.
the Hallow Radiance item has weaker immolation than sunfire
flat pen for base mr?
Please more iron spectates Ross
Ross for pro commentary. Vote 1.
please more iron spectates they are gold!!!
You should check out Rew. He does this much better. Its more if he was commenting LCS than trying to figure out why Poppy builds Sunfire cap for 10 minutes lol. But I9 understand its live stream :D
Am I allowed to look down on these people as an iron 1 player XD
I use to look down on Iron but I'm actually just jealous cause I wanna play off meta non sense too
This Brand hitting better W's than the Brand from Plat 1 elo in my game
love u ross
Missed u where you been?
Brrro... I started playing League at the age of 13.... (in season 3... god I'm old.....)
i love those
I love Iron Spectates!
