Bro front to back teamfights don’t exist. Front to back teamfights are actually just teamfight combo comps. Whichever team can get their combo to land first wins.
That's not at all what front to back means...

out of the last 25 champions 5 have been assassins and for that you need to count Pyke, Ekko, Kayn and Sylas as assassins.
I don't agree with him but those are assassins, though. Kayn is 1/2 of one, at least.
Sylas is not an assassin
40 minutes of nothing happens and then the better ADC wins
- Tank meta in literally every elo below plat.
The meta is irrelevant in those ranks
And getting greyscreened every time you step into lane against a guy who has built nothing but tank items is? Cause that's Ornn. Ornn was doing that to professional players.
More CC is significantly better than the alternative, as long as there are ways to counterplay and avoid that CC.
Maybe don't play like a monkey and feed him? You don't get some sort of superiority from building damage items as opposed to defensive items...
It literally slows down fights and makes it boring, it’s a click and “OOOP look how skilled I am ha ha I’m so good at game ha ha” it’s ridiculous how good ap items are. Like in comparison GA doesn’t give the same amount of bonuses. Zhonyas doesn’t cock block most assassins players, because our cooldowns are so low, it’s the huge amount of AP and armour it gives, ALONG WITH CDR. It’s ridiculous. Where’s ad champs epic items? As a kha I’d love a “I press item and avoid their burst haha got em and oh look my cooldowns are done too”
If the stasis froze your cooldowns aswell, I’d be more into it.
Fights need to be slowed down with how bursty the game is these days
Yet it wins baron and souls fight for just 650 gold, fights which are gamechanging
If you use it properly, yeah...
ok and what if i dont want to do that lol
Then keep playing adcs and try to make them work. Like people in other roles are doing.
The consensus of almost every top Katarina player is that she's trash.
Every otp downplays their champ...
but it's as close as it's ever going to be. While it's true that the worst pro player is substantially worse than the absolute best, the range is actually relatively small. The best pro player in the world isn't actually that much better than the average pro player.
There's a reason why 'import the best players' hasn't been working for NA for years: just having good players doesn't make a good pro team, and a lot of it is that the skill gap just isn't that big.
NA has at no point imported "the best players," in fact the only truly elite player NA has ever imported was Ssumday.
no one said pros are infallible, but they are by far the best metric for determining champ balance, not solo queue shitters.
When you look at solo queue balance, you have to account for
player skill in general
player skill at that champion
how hard the champ is to play
how high the skill ceiling on a champ is
skill of the teams relative to each other
stuff like secondaries/autofill
general shit happens.
and a couple other things
there's so much that can affect the data that you can't control for.
when pro players test a champion, the only factors affecting it are:
champion power
general shit happens.
pro players are roughly as skilled as each other and roughly as good at a champion as they can be. It produces more reliable data.
Yeah that's not true at all. There are massive skill disparities in pro play...
riot shouldn't balance the game around solo queue at all aside from dealing with ridiculous ouliers (like, 55%+ outlier at a minimum).
you balance the game around people who are actually good at it, not around people who are a bad at it. People who are good at the game give objective statistics. Pro players are equally skilled, as good at a champion as they can be, and play properly. When they test a champion therefore, the only factor that varies is the power of that champion. The most powerful are then played on stage. When you balance around solo queue, you have to consider how good people actually are at the game. Which is why akali had a 46% win rate despite being absolutely broken.
Pro players aren't some infallible entities just because they're pros. In fact they're quite often bad at recognizing the power of champions.
Not balancing for soloq at all is monumentally stupid. There's a damn good reason champions like Master Yi, Katarina, Darius aren't buffed into competitive relevance...
They need to fix their playoff system
LEC/LCS first
'solo queue players would rather bitch about how unbalanced a champion is rather than learn to deal with them' falls firmly under 'not riot's problem'.
kat has clearly defined weaknesses that pro players exploit to make her trash in pro play. Solo queue players could learn how to do those things and have the same result, but they would rather blame kat being unbalanced and their team being bad than do it. 'my team ignores pings' is not a reason to not learn how to ward properly vs her or lane properly vs her.
Why bother balancing the game at all!
Read moreactually yes though.
kat isn't a good champion. She's just good when people play bad. She gets smashed in lane by nearly every mid laner (if you have either a dash or a quick form of interruption and are ranged, you probably beat kat in lane), can't roam bot effectively when people ward, and as a result is rarely relevant in teamfights. Sometimes shit does happen and she gets kills and snowballs, but it shouldn't be happening frequently except for the fact that solo queue players are lazy and don't ward properly and won't learn how to deal with her.
There's a reason why even diana sees niche pro play despite (if you judge purely by solo queue stats) being worse than kat: she has less abusable weaknesses than kat, but even then she's still pretty bad and frequently gets exposed when played in pro play for similar reason to kat.
it's not daddy riot's job to hold people's hand and nerf champions because the player base doesn't want to learn how to deal with th...
Katarina is unbalanced in soloq, plain and simple.
yes...?
Imagine roaming when you could cause chaos in your lane by freezing and then denying CS.

Freezing? With that flair?

She is broken, just not in this way. So many damn bugs...
he was 2013-2017, he set new standarts but right bow he isnt as far ahead as he ised to be.
He's not the best anymore, plain and simple
