This post is silly but I seriously want to know. Because there’s no way you play top lane, or honestly any role in this game in any mode and you’re complaining about K’sante in his current state, without factoring in pro play. There’s just absolutely no f*cking way. Ask yourself, when was the last time you faced a K’sante in your games and if they actually Showmaker-pasta’d on your team. I understand not wanting to see the same champions played in pro play all the time, but pretending that he is a problem in solo queue is absolute cognitive dissonance. It’d be less annoying if the posts were complaining about champ diversity in pro play or in top lane to be specific. I don’t know, this whole thing just makes no sense to me.

Pros are not good enough to make the judgment calls themselves. They pick trash all the time and dont play good champs for several seasons until one korean guys pulls it out once and then its 'meta' for 5 seasons straight.

In CS:GO, nobody played the SG because it was a 'COD noob gun', then valve buffed it by 300$ (not changing the shooting characteristics of the gun), pros played it, it got nerfed back to the original price, and still pros were crying because the gun was so unfair. Later it got nerfed to death. The gun existed in the op spot for 5 years. In CSGO there are only 2 viable rifles for Ts (economy wise) and they were too stubborn to realize that one of them was op. Pros dont know f**king shit.

Ksante has an 48% wr in pro play and a sub 50% wr in challenger. The champ is not overpowered, he's just flexible and thats it.

And can you please explain why Ksante doesn't win a lot of games in hands of the best players when hes so op?

'Win rate doesn't matter' is no argument. Its literally the point of the game to win it.

The SG/AUG in CS:GO from ~4 years ago or whatever is just such a great crystallized example for "wow, pros really don't have it all figured out."
