Hi there! LEC caster here and also a big fan of the LCK casters! While I am often open to criticism and feedback, I feel like you base your opinion on old information that hasn't been the case for quite some time! I'll try to answer each point individually and I'll use examples where I can.

1. Give fans analysis they wouldn't know on their own - This is, unfortunately, an extremely subjective subject matter. The vast majority of viewers are Silver players. What they do and do not know varies pretty wildly. This means we do our best to cater as much as possible while also adding extra depth where appropriate. I feel like you exaggerate how much things like "CSD" and "Gold lead" is used in a single cast. It's consistently discussed in every cast, but that's because it's a good tool to check the state of the game. Every caster on the planet uses this. Other analysis also includes matchup discussions, potential item paths, use of rune choices, win conditions, ...

Yup, pretty much the same. I think we're a little more limited then auto chess.

just one of the things!

You would assume wrong :P

Please do

We did! I do not know who I can mention, but I'm sure they'll make videos and stuff and that's important :)

You will not be able to do ranked with 7 friends, there is potential for you to queue with a friend or two but not a full party.

God that thing looks OLD lol

Can relate..

Noble/Vayne rush is OP

What is the most "balanced" game?

A) One where all champions are at 50% winrate but "feel" poorly tuned.

B) One where certain champions are statistically too strong or too weak but "feel" balanced.

Clearly balance is more nuanced and complex than this, but the point I'm trying to make is that winrate isn't the only thing to consider. Things like perception of power and different levels of player skill take major parts in a how balanced a game feels.

It was declining rapidly before the missions.

yes

You all have high end PCs right?

Plan right now is to keep it in the client and just invest more resources in making the client not sh*t

We decided to not make NB permanent because it wasn't popular enough. And it was consistently declining in popularity over time. I know that folks who love NB will always find that explanation hard to swallow, but it's the truth. And the Reddit theory will always be that we gave up on it too early, but all of the data we were seeing globally convinced us that it wasn't going to be a successful longterm investment.

Even if NB had blown up and become a huge success, we'd probably still have made TFT. They're totally different modes with different audiences. NB = fast-paced and more casual compared to SR. TFT has nothing to do with SR and is super deep and slow-paced.

Just pick every fiora you see in this so no one else can have them

You can also yell at your little pieces for not being as smart as you. Really it's a satisfying experience.
