I'm serious about asking this question

I'm a crappy player. Been in bronze forever. But I watch a shit ton of LCS. I watch the matches that I care about, so like Fox vs NV I could care less.

Anyways, I want to focus on CLG, specifically Xmithie.

Is it just me or can he just not land skill shots? To me it's amazing how well CLG has done with nidalee spears that aren't even close and Azir ults that don't land.

I'm not saying he's a bad player. He does a lot for his team other wise they would of found another jungler. I just feel if he would actually care (?) about his skill shots they would do better. Maybe it's just me seeing these things. I'm curious, does anyone else see this? If so, don't you think they should acquire another jungler and mid laner after worlds?

People aren't perfect, but yeah he misses a little too much.

Maybe his opponents have really good reflexes and he is a happy trigger?

"Pro" players have been placed on a pedestal improperly. Video games are video games, and gamers are gamers. In the end, the pros are no different than me or you, except that they're otaku. If anyone can be crappy at skillshots, it can apply to anyone.

Even if you want to look at League as a real sport, compare it to any other sport. European football strikers are great and driving and shooting, but not usually as good at passing. Among kendo practitioners, it's not uncommon to find those who are really good at offense but not as good at defense.

In other words, it's very rare to find a player in any game who is great at every skill that game requires. Even in real sports, playing to your personal strengths is part of the strategy. Video games aren't much different.
