I have a question about Pentakills in proplay. When a proplayer performs a pentakill on an enemy team, does that mean that the enemy team is not good or weak or is being a victim of a penta an embarrassing and disrespectful thing for the team who are victims to it?
crabface51 votesI think it just shows how strong a team is at micro-managing teamfights and how mechanically capable a certain player is. Example, Doublelift and Bjergsen are more probable to get a pentakill rather than Apollo or Mash b/c C9 and TSM/CLG are much more cohesive as a team in intense situations than P1 or Apex is (No disrespect on Apex or P1 <3 )

so what would you say about huni's penta against TL during spring split?

That it's in the past, and time to move forward.
Everything was aligned and set up for him to clean up on TL.

what do you mean by everything was aligned? Preplanned? Do you think that him finishing off TL could be seen as a stomp?
Xantak1 votesMeaning that all the odds aligned in favor of him being a janitor and cleaning up. No, him getting the pentakill doesn't mean stomping. The probability of getting a pentakill is extremely low. The closest I've seen a pro coming into multiple pentakills in one game, would be TSM vs TL last year, when Wildturtle racked up a pentakill in a base defense, and followed that on the next base defense with a quadra. A pentakill doesn't guarantee you a win, as the Wildturtle penta/quadra chain was in a losing effort.
It doesn't matter on the champion used for the pentakill(one of the regions had a Teemo pentakill), as any champion can be used, if you're lucky enough and you build the champion right. Hell, I've gotten one with a full AP Sejuani before.
Pentakills don't mean that there's a stomp in the game, nor is it a disrespectful or embarrassing moment. What's disrespectful or embarrassing, is if a key player tilts on more then a few occasions, or he/she tilts because of something that's preventable. Huni's been known to do both.
