You Killed Counterpicking
Hi
Love you all.
I'm fell the need to create this because i fell you killed counter picking.
This new mode of picking champs resolves some problems:
-
Each person is assigned a role so no more discutions about who's going where and because the role is always displayed even if we get distrated we always know what we have to chose POSITIVE
-
The preselection of champions so we know what will probably be selected by our team is cool to combine synergy and also to prevent our team to ban one of the wanted champs. POSITIVE
-
The distribution of bans is a fair thing.
What i dislike and i personaly think that killed counter picking is the order in which we are placed in the champion selection. I think it's random in both sides.
That means that my team might have to pick top or mid and my enemies last picks might be those lanes allowing counterpick just because we're made to chose early.
Before it was like this ( in my opinion ) :
When i was one of the first to chose in champion selection i would pick jungler, adc or if those were already taken i'd chose a strong supp so the enemies can´t counter Top or Mid. If i was one of the last to pick i'd counterpick the champs in TOP or MID ( if it was my role).
Counterpicking is the ancient art of picking the champion which best suites against a specific champion ( and or strategy ).
This is a major role in game because when you get countered from start there's nothing you can do alone and being the start you won't get much help either. you just shrink and try the best to farm and not to fed. Most of the counterpicking i was able to do was with champs that i don't use to play very often. All of them payed off.
But now all of this is no more. I have to pick in the order you placed me the role you tell me to allowing easy counter even from people that usualy wouldn't care about it.
Haven't you noticed an enourmous increased in people dodging champion selection?
I think this is the why.
