Yeah, poke comps are really hard to get right and rely on staying ahead.

Krepo and Quickshot's analysis is really good and they're spot on with how much work PowerOfEvil did that game that let the rest of his team eat objectives. Kills and fights were secondary throughout the game.

It's amazing how much better Quickshot got with Krepo. Deficio is a great caster, but him and Quick have no synergy, whereas he works great with Mitch.

Let me throw this out there and see what you think. What do you think if they took the burden off the team and let the coaches be shot callers? Give them a team locked spectator mode.

Not a fan of that. Shot calling within a team is a real mark of who's a good team, and who's a bunch of solo-queue idiots, and I don't think removing that is good for the game.

Would Tom Brady have almost a full hand of rings if Bill Belichick wasn't whispering in his ear?

By contrast, even tightly managed football soccer teams need a real team captain on the field, even though the coaches are allowed to yell all match long. One can make arguments for and against and it's just preference at the end of the day, I think.

I dunno, it's probably pretty stressful for the people that do it. Real sports let coaches call the plays. Might make the games go better if someone could look at the full field. I'd like to see it even if it doesn't work out.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

I'd be for coaches getting some side locked spectator cam. I really dont give a poo poo about which 17 year old is a better 'shot caller' or whatever. The thing is, adding a coach doesnt change that. you'd still have teams with better instincts & shot calling ability. But I'd much prefer teams that have skilled players who arent as smart to get some competent direction during a game so I don't have to watch CW vs H2K play a 6 hour match.

Eventually she'll eat a nerf or two and stop being a priority pick and then he might bring her out for some reason or another. Forgiven, of SK in the EU LCS, still plays Lucian to reasonable success even though Lucian as a champion got snapped in half at the end of Season 4 (admittedly after being incredibly dominant for the entire season) and is very definitely not somebody who should see competitive play if you want to go by a concept of "only play the strongest meta picks" that some people do.

I mean, you'd think they'd be smart enough to never let him play her again, just like you'd think people would know not to ever let Faker play Riven again if she was remotely near the competitive meta (which I doubt will ever happen but you never know). Then again people to this day sometimes don't ban Irelia against Wickd so God knows what the LCS teams will do in the future going forward.

As for the Mundo in SoloQ, there might be copycat picks but I still think the pick doesn't transfer over as well.

And there's a Veigar ban...what?
