It's easy to poke fun at his weird idiosyncrasies but he's entertaining and has a good eye for detail in real time.

I think its funny and sad that deficio got reprimanded for talking to players about starting up a team and is barred from doing anything but casting for the next 10 years or whatever

I finally getting around to watching the finalz and as a new player I think it's super cool That the alternate stream for finals was a new player friendly stream where they explained more things rather than another player experience stream

Shadow225 posted:Would people be nearly as high on Monte if he weren't constantly paired with Doa? Yeah, probably. Monte can be a bit of a dicklord, but his analysis is really top notch. Even people like Jatt acknowledge how good his analysis is and how he can really get a good discussion going. Monte is a great caster, he's just a jackass.

I don't get why Miss Fortune didn't crop up as a viable ADC pick in worlds (support Fortune does not count of course). what with all the constant Orianna picks you'd think they'd play it. The sheer instant damage that Miss Fortune could pull this season on just the first few hits of Bullet Time was absurd and I'm disappointed in the teams for staying on their lukewarm comfort picks

Team utility was a critical factor in ADC selection at this Worlds. Caitlyn is a waveclear monster once she gets Runaan's and she can effectively stall out games by making tower sieges incredibly hard; Jhin is great at making picks with Flourish and his ult; and Ashe is the queen of long-range picks and kiting. The only other ADCs that really got play were Ezreal, who had an absolute garbage showing (34.4% winrate), and Sivir, who also provides some decent utility with her ult and waveclear. It's true that Miss Fortune has some bonkers damage, but her ult's easily countered by anyone with a decently long-ranged stun, has no dashes or blinks to escape, and brings zero utility beyond a fairly solid AoE slow.

Kashuno posted:Is there a list of the number of unique champs played at worlds this year? It felt really low http://lol.esportspedia.com/wiki/2016_Season_World_Championship/Statistics/Champions 57 champions were picked overall out of a total of 132 (since Ivern wasn't available during the Worlds patch), or 43% of total available champions. There were definitely a few power picks who showed up in nearly every game like Karma and Jhin.

It's somewhat inevitable that you're going to get a relatively concentrated group of picks like what we saw this year with only 6 bans and a lack of any big meta-shaking changes before 6.18 (like the Juggernaut patch pre-2015 Worlds). Riot's mentioned that they're looking at the possibility of 10 bans once the new client is fully operational.

10 bans would be a mess unless they also implement staggered P/B. Which I hope they do, but jeez, having 10 champs banned upfront would be awfully unfun.

The closest analogue in real sports is kind of swept under the rug. There are periods where you shouldn't talk to free agents or whatever, but it happens. This is a different situation for a few things : 1. You can't just decide to own or manage a team. Mostly due to franchises, partially due to the cost and infrastructure of those teams. 2. Players typically operate on multi year contacts instead of whatever happens in esports. Players never break contracts unless they retire because they need money, whereas management will break it as they see fit. 3. If you want a player during the season, you talk to the GM, not the player for the above reason.

There's also a much better infrastructure, including agents, proper business GMs, etc, that the chances of this getting to the point where you talk to a player improperly without someone stepping in and going "No, don't do that" is much smaller.
