V5's current style was insanely slippery.
They gave up resource fights whenever they could, continuously trading RGE's map resources—turrets—for their own gains. But if RGE wanted to force a fight, there was a Blitzcrank in mid constantly making them sick.
The ones suffering the most were Lucian-Nami.
Lucian-Nami's strength in the early and mid game had originally been that, if they caught an isolated Lucian, they could freely rush in with Galeforce + EAA and unleash their ultimates. With Nami behind him, they did not need to fear Lucian getting engaged on.
But now there was a Blitzcrank in the way.
