MF has actually been largely dropped from pro play in favor of Varus/Kalista. A lot of teams are currently even prioritizing Varus over Senna, which says a lot about his perceived strength.

It's a Brahma chicken! They're one of my favorite breeds (behind the Ayam Cemani chicken and Polish crested chickens). They used to be the main meat chicken breed in the US.

That one's way bigger than normal and looks like it's even bigger than a Jersey Giant, which iirc is the largest breed of chicken.

Or what about items? The strongest item in the game is technically not even balanced around it's stats but its active. The rest are stat-checky and uninteresting. Ludens is to mages what old Morello was. A perfect combination of stats leading to little deviation.

Ludens sucks though, GLP is better on most champions

We already had this conversation last year with actual people who know what they are talking about (LS/Nemesis/etc)

Lol and what about the other countless anlysts/players who had high praise for DoinB? They don't make it into your appeal to authority? How convenient.

He is really not anything special as an individual player.

He definitely is. Despite what your idol LS says, there's more to LoL than how fast someone moves their mouse. DoinB has consistently elevated the teams he's joined and they never do as well before/after him. There's literally half a decade of evidence of him doing this. Even this exact FPX team with a different mid was an 8th place team, then DoinB joins and they win LPL and worlds. Not special btw.

To be fair Tian also joined, but he's the worst player on the team according to LS so that doesn't matter anyways.

People don't understand that plays that are coinflips in a vacuum aren't coinflips when you're better. Teams like IG and FPX can routinely outplay even 40-60 situations just based on skill difference.

Meanwhile in the old days, KR teams sometimes wouldn't even go for 60-40 because it wasn't safe enough.

You confuse a class of champion with the Meta-position. A mage can be meele, ranged, with CC or without. But its still a mage who's gotta kill you with spells. ADCs cant really be as diverse as other classes, they are bound to be ranged, squishy and bad early. Its the class we love to play. It plays really differently to anything else league has to offer. And its been part of the game forever.

I do occasionally play other roles/classes but nothing satisfies me as much as playing a marksman.

There are no melee mages lol

But what im saying is there are so many more options in all the other roles when a huge majority of adc's are designed to scale and all of them are useless it makes the champ pool tiny

You don't have to play marksmen...

jarvan.

i have not seen 1 jarvan do well, they all build full ad, eq into everyone and get one shot for most of the game, pro play is the same story, except they build tank and somehow manage to die the same amount of times, he is such a useless champion

Tank Jarvan is awesome wtf

The drawback to mid is that sometimes your opponent is better than you and you lose. This is more true than in any other lane.

Ah yes, all those control mages who are so strong. I am shaking in my boots whenever I have to go up against a Viktor.

You do understand there are more than 7 adcs that currently exist right.

We don’t even know what the Xayah buffs are and Kaisa hasn’t shown an pro relevancy. So obviously we’re going back into the Kaisa Xayah meta.

Kaisa is actually seeing some play in LPL

dota barely patches their game anymore, and meepo suffers from korean syndrome. create a champ that you need to be able to play 5 games of starcraft at the same time to win with and some korean teenager will have a 100% winrate with them.

both of the new adcs and most champs that rely on teamwork to be good with also suffer from this. it's why galio needed to be gutted out of pro play, ryze and vlad continue to be problems in pro play, and literally everyone picks kaisa.

How is Vlad a problem in pro play??

Wonder why Varus was nerfed was his WR/BR that high? I feel like hes hardly picked. Always thought he was a walmart version of Ashe. Maybe he was broken in pro play, idek

He's really high priority in pro play, with multitude of viable builds. I personally don't think he's nerf worthy but I guess his poke build could use a little tuning.

Kassadin deserves the Lucian/Senna treatment where he actually gets to be a meta champion without there being some weird, swiftly corrected preseason fluke caused by a Presence of Mind rework.

He's already as meta as he can be without being stupid broken...

No accent in Czech, disappointing.
