Except he didnt predict 0-18, he said something like it wouldnt be that surprising if it happened, I cant find his exact wording. He literally picked TL to come 3rd in their group in his pick ems. He was wrong about FQ, but right about TL & TSM. He was about the same rightness as other analysts like Dom who predicted 1 NA team to make it through groups on average. Dom predicted FQ to come 4th and TSM to come 3rd IIRC.

Edit - searched for an hour, cant find it. Closest I can find is "TSM might go 0-6", where the host predicted SN would come last in the group. LS deserves credit for predicting SN #1, and Rogue #4 which surprised a lot of people. It's easy to cherrypick when an analyst gets it wrong, you have to look at the whole picture to be fair. If some1 can link me the clip where he said NA 0-18 I'd appreciate it. I seem to recall Frosk was there but could be wrong.

My mistake, it's actually 1-17. This is from the lolesports Twitter predictions, where there's one for each game played. His one NA nod was TL > Machi the first time.

The second issue is that sub-50% win rates are champions you want to see in your games because you're likely to beat them

Wasn't ye olde Kassadin of S3 below a 50% win rate when he got through the 1% of banning phases?

Yeah. People typically ban (somewhat fairly) for frustration instead of power.

Is it really though? I feel like there is more to bans than just pick rate and win rate. For example, if you ban lulu but janna is the 6th best champions, you don't win much, if you instead ban darius and a bruiser champion which is 7th only leaving bad bruisers, you force bruiser players into bad position. My example wasnt that great but I think you get what I'm saying

There's definitely something interesting there. "If my lane opponent would pick Samira, do they just pick Jhin, who's similarly powerful?" There's a more advanced model out there somewhere, yeah.

However, the opposite is true, too. If you ban Thresh, what if they pick a stronger champion instead?

Is there going to be something to replace Runic's for mana users? It feels kind of bad to need to go seraphs because you want to use one of the non-mana mythics

I suspect mage types who would use a mana mythic if they were in mid would use one in the jungle too

Because back then worlds song wasnt a thing, and Imagine Dragons came up with the idea of making a song for league.

With warriors riot decided to just make a song every year under their own rights

Tear of the Goddess is no longer a Quick Charge Item. Some specific Items like Deaths Dance, Teamfight Items and some of the Support Items are incredible powerful and will most likely need a nerfed version in ARAM.

Tear is on our todo list. Otherwise, we're not going to make preemptive balance changes on items - we're going to wait until the meta settles and see if we need to make adjustments from there.

Certain Mythic Items In ARAM Don't Count Guardian Items Towards Their Mythic Passive

This bug is pretty self-explanatory. There are a handful of Mythic items on the PBE right now that don't count the Guardian items on ARAM towards their Mythic passives making them less attractive to buy.

Currently from testing I have found this applies to:
* Trinity Force
* Divine Sunderer
* Accelerated Chemtank
* Frostfire Gauntlet
* Night Harvester
* Riftmaker
* Hextech Rocketbelt
* Sunborn Aegis
* Moonstone Renewer
* Imperial Mandate
* Locket of the Iron Solari

Thanks for the report! I'll look into this.

Quickshot booking himself to cast Worlds Finals, name a more iconic duo

While I read this as a joke and take it as a joke, I do feel a need to clarify something for anyone reading this.

I do have a stake in talent rotation, I'm one of several people involved and I share my opinions and expertise on who could / should cast different games, with a very heavy focus on LEC and EU talent primarily.

To ensure that it's a balanced decision, producers take my suggestions share their feedback and then make the final call.

I'm exceptionally proud of how I've been able to advocate and push my colleagues into bigger and bigger series with each season locally and internationally.

You couldn't be more wrong if you tried. I know Indiana personally and professionally and your read is so so wrong. It appears to me as you have not tried to understand what she has said or attempted to comprehend what she has gone through in this industry.

I think Indiana has been right to call out certain things and I respect her strength of conviction.

Oh yeah, Soaz was completely out of my picture. But in 2018 he was a sub?

Yeah, but he was definitely a full part of the roster and played multiple games at Worlds, including a game in the final.
