Why Make Faker Player A Support Karma Mid?

WinBoat·11/4/2017, 10:12:11 AM·1 votes·2,105 views

Out of all the champions he could have picked or they could have suggested, they had him on Karma mid.

Letting the other team have Cho'gath is just a ticking time bomb. Literally a ticking time bomb before he gets big and unkillable, and the Malzahar all Samsung games?

I mean Faker could have picked Fizz, or anything literally, but went Karma, Huni's Yasuo pick game 2 was not good, should have picked that game 1. I can see Huni being replaced, he only has one playstyle which is split pushing.

But with that said, Samsung earned this win. They did what no other team could do. I'm going to already tell you guys, there is going to be a 3rd finals with these two teams facing each other. Already book that for your pick 'em.

If SKT had won that match tho, and ended up winning worlds, that would have been Faker and SKT's greatest accomplishment ever, and heck, if I were Faker, i would have retired with that in my head, but you can bet, SKT will be back next year but so will SSG.

Honestly, all three of those games were lost in the draft phase. SKTs picks were questionable at best, and downright stupid at worst. Their primary asset was Faker, but all three games they chose to focus their picks and bans on their top and bot lanes. Karma was just the cherry on top of the cake.

I felt pretty sure Leona was going to get busted out. It seemed like an obvious pick there.

BUT when I saw the Karma. I was like, put Huni on Leona or something. Do some crazy flex please.

{quoted} I mean Faker could have picked Fizz, or anything literally, but went Karma, Huni's Yasuo pick game 2 was not good, should have picked that game 1. I can see Huni being replaced, he only has one playstyle which is split pushing.

He can play tanks, but I think SKT just didn't have a better option, as SKT's Bot-lane was just playing terrible during whole worlds. And as the whole worlds meta was build around the Bot-lane, what can a team do, when their ADC is just not performing? Split-pushing and out macroing the enemy, trying to avoid team fights is their best bet then.

I'm not saying that Huni was playing amazing, but he wasn't playing bad. Honestly if somebody on SKT gets sacked, it should be Bang.

First game = bad luck Karma = Game over Yasu = Game over

They could have a made a comeback with Galio or Rammus or better yet.. Faker on Fiz

As a person that loves Karma, she just is horrid mid right now and ironically not much better at support. She does have the one thing going for her in that she is a very early lane bully when supporting. That seems far more important in the pro game than it is in solo Q. You can learn a lot from Dr. McCoy. When you're going to run the Kentucky Derby, you don't leave your best stallion at the stable. Turning the likes of Faker into a shield bot late just isn't the way I'd play it.
