It's not okay to abuse cancer like Udyr and Shaco the way they did. The fact that they have to do that to get wins shows that they don't deserve a spot in any professional LOL scene. When no-skill, anti-fun, binary champions are the most popular, it makes me lose hope for this game and its community. What kind of chimpanzee can actually find enjoyment from playing Udyr and Shaco? It's genuinely mind-boggling to me.
"no-skill" or "Shaco". Pick one, because picking both is a dead Shaco.
Did you watch them play? They played those champions beautifully. I tried maining shaco, and just couldn't perfect the jukes and trickery with the clone needed to be the slippery clown. they weren't all zed LC$BIGPLAYS, there were a hell of a lot of being in the right place at the right time, and keeping that ability till it was needed, and picking the right stance at the right time. Those 2 champs have a very low skill floor, but UoL played them well at their very high skill cap.
please dont call people chimpanzees
So basically you don't like UoL anymore just because they just so happened to pick and win with champs that you don't like is that it? Because if it is, then that is being incredibly unfair to them and also shows bias on your part there as well also. We all have different champs that we enjoy playing and/or excel at playing, and pros are no exception to this either. So what if they chose Udyr and Shaco? It's not the end of the world that they did there honestly. If you don't like them (the champions), then that's fine, but hating someone or a team just because they just so happened to pick some champs that you just don't like is honestly not a good or fair enough reason to dislike them there honestly, so there's that at least.
I'm not sure I'll ever understand fair weather fans, or fans that try to use their fanliness as leverage. You don't like a couple of champions they picked. That's really unfortunate_ for you_, and indicative of your level of emotional development, but far less so for them. You're a terrible fan. Bye, Felicia.
It's one thing to hate the champions (or the "game"), and it's totally fine and understandable. It's a different and completely uncool thing to hate the players, though. They're professionals, and they're there to win. Don't impose impossibly fickle and pointlessly limiting ultimatums. (If you play x, y, z champions I don't like, I will hate you! Oh, also, I don't want you playing this list of champions, either...)
Udyr and Shaco both have such low/nearly nonexistent pick rates in the competitive scene that it's really, really refreshing to see them there. Frankly, I'm more tired of everyone following the meta and picking Sej, Vi, Jarvan, and Lee on rotation -- though it is in place for good reason: it fuckin' works really well -- but that's what they have to do to stay competitive. Even if you personally hate playing against something, as a good fan it's on you to empathize with the pros and say, "even though I really dislike that lame assturd of a champion, I can totally understand the reasoning behind picking it."
Zed, Lissandra, Lulu, Sion, Lucian, Jinx, Vayne, Graves, Corki, Ezrael, Sivir, Thresh, Lee Sin, Maokai, Rumble, Jarvan, Sejuani, Vi, Nidalee, Nautilus, Morgana, Janna, Ahri, Hecarim, Urgot... these 25 champions make up probably 90-95% of recent professional picks/bans, but are only about 1/5 of the 124 champions in the game. It's really exciting to see a team throw caution to the wind and try out something that no one is expecting, regardless of whether it is successful or not. It's far less exciting and dramatic to see people winning with the same cookie-cutter strategy day in and day out, week after week.
So, again, be a fan, or don't. Care, or don't. Grow, or don't. No one is sad to see a "fan" like you go.
