its their own fault for putting 5 non challenger mostly support mains on the same team and thinking they could beat actual pros, its not riots fault for them being garbage
Roits in deep shit but hey, you all still play their game right?
If by "success" you mean "money", then I can agree with that.
I don't think that these girls were so delusional to believe that they could actually have success (as in winning) in this environment. The difference in skill is just way too big. But they got offered a job, they get paid good money for playing. Even if you know that you will lose hard, most of us would probably accept the offer simply for the money.
But honestly, if we really want to make progress here, then get girls in the pro league which actually qualify because of their skill. There are challenger girls, pick these and put them on pro teams.
Honestly I feel like it’s Riot’s fault, the team manager/owner’s fault, and also the players’ fault.
Riot for allowing it. The team leadership for concocting this humiliating publicity stunt. And the players for agreeing to go along with it knowing full well they’d get stomped on.
These were not 5 innocent girls being exploited. They wanted to be on a pro team as much as Riot wanted an all-female pro team.
Thing is these girls knew they weren't even on par with the pros and still wanted to play for glory. It's their fault for signing on knowing they were not truly deserving of being in the pros, riots fault for making them a joke, and the managers fault for knowing what he was doing and still okay with it.
This is not the way you bring "equality" into the game. If you want to build respect then you start by finding people who work hard and reach the same skill cap as pros do. What riot did was allow shaming of these girls and the manager put them on the team because and i'll be blunt... they had the "goods."
This was not done out of fairness and acknowledgement of hard work of a player. This was strictly done as a PR stunt and backfired, however these girls knew what they were getting into. They KNEW they were not even on the same level. Blame goes all the way around on this. Also there was no rule set about banning out 5 of 1 type of role. To be honest, game is heavily determined by botlane and I found all those support bans to be valid because they are pretty meta supports with good peel / safety. The idea is to try to win the game and if you throw people off their norms by banning out their normal picks, why is that a problem? It's strategy. Faker is good with zed, and people ban him. Target banning has always been okay, why is this any different. The ONLY reason Riot is making a stench over this is BECAUSE it's girls it happened to.
