That was a really nice Rumble ult but as it turns out narrow corridors also make you giant targets for Annie/Jarvan.

Not good enough. They just moved forward a bit and dodged the damage. Benny needs to just lock an ult pivot on one of his teammies. It's gonna give him much better results.

He's still 60CS ahead of Keith which is pretty good considering. Like he's a good AD carry but anyone who thinks Doublelift is near the top of the best AD carries in the world needs their head checked.

He's Sivir and their only safe waveclear in a losing game, it makes sense that he has more CS. He's also not doing anything with all that gold. CLG would've been better off with, like, a Xerath mid and then Doublelift on Trist, if they were going to lane swap it anyways.

I honestly really don't like Sivir into Azir. Carries with less than 600 range have the worst loving time fighting the sand mage, somebody who also has to run up to auto on top is just going to do terribly against him if the game goes long. That Caitlyn was the enemy ADC was the final nail in the coffin.

IMO leblanc is better if you dont build a dfg and pair her with jarvin or something so you can do big aoe damage instead of trying to kill janna or whatever.

I seriously think Rengar needs a shielder to work (or Twitch for the Tom & Jerry picks, minimum). He just doesn't work without Orianna or Lulu because he gets loving exploded. You need to slam CC down the instant he jumps in or he dies, junglers can't initiate like this.

When I die, I hope they say I made the eSports industry a better place than I made millions of dollars.
I'm continually surprised at how rare Caitlyn is in the pro meta. She's pretty much everything you want in a pro-level ADC pick.

One of the most overbearing champions in the game to lane against and yet still has a fantastic end-game. One of the best tower siege in the game. One of the safest all around. I don't know. Why is it so rare?

I think for most of season 4 her lane bullying was not as effective as someone like Lucian and a mid game spike from someone like Corki was much more needed than Cait's mid game dip.

Plus, you had Jinx who had very safe tower sieging and the ability to just down a tower if you get a good rotation.

Maybe pro's are afraid of being lane swapped and then out hyper carried by trist/kog? Honestly though I don't know she's strong and safe throughout most of the game

Because she can't win you a game unless you have literally perfect positioning. All she brings is shootmans. Compare to how Sivir gives you waveclear and completes chasecomps, Graves gives you the strongest botlane and AD burst, Corki provides waveclear and allows a mid ADC while being insanely safe, and Ezreal is uncatchable and hypermobile. Caitlyn doesn't have anything that can turn a game on its head. Jinx is just a better version of her in pro play because she brings a stronger root, more brutal poke, rocket and the teamfight power of switcheroo.
