What the fuck is up with these melee carry/ad assassin picks in blind pick?

I usually see master yi jungle, yasuo top, and some shit like zed support, I have to dodge as there is no way to salvage this kind of comp. I don't see this stuff at all in ranked.

That's not hard figure out

Blind pick is normal games. People try stuff out in there, for whatever reason, that they would get bitched at and dodged on in rank. It's not like comp even matters at that level in the first place.

comp matters at all levels. Especially this season where its impossible to carry a game.

But it really doesn't. You think those choices matter that much? Do you think the result is so set in stone from composition, do you think the character choice will create an insurmountable difficulty even at levels where they don't even buy the right items for the character?

Especially this season where its impossible to carry a game.

I'm leaving no response other than that I'm leaving none because even exaggeration needs to leave something to respond to.

because ranked and blinds are 2 different settings. ranked is a serious draft mode, blinds is the bullshitery zone. no roles, no meta, no worries.

you wanna go ad evvelyn ADC? you go your ass right ahead. you wanna AP ashe jungle? After you good sir.

Where else do you want them to play zed support?

When damage gets too high, things like Jax, Trynd and Yi become popular. Evasion, Alphastrike, and Trynds R end up being better than a full tank build, which leaves you with no reason to not play Trynd, Jax, or Yi. Deal melee carry dps, while being the only champs capable of surviving for more than 2seconds.

If you have 2 melee carries you auto lose as the team has extremely low or unreliable cc and can easily be bursted and ccd down.

set in stone, no. But if you pick a bad comp into a strong comp, youre odds of winning are incredibly low. Yes the enemy could throw, or someone could disconnect, but youre walking into a match with the odds nowhere near being in your favor.

The thing is, you're assuming that both teams aren't going to make mistakes, aren't going to do things that more influence the outcome, so the game comes down to that and them assume that the results will occur heavily towards your expectations. And that doesn't happen. We all have experience that shows that.

Look, I didn't particularly want to make a thing of this but...

we're talking about a guy ragging on people for their picks in blind pick when he plays things like AP Nami mid.

And wins. Even soundly. Which isn't just a potential double standards issue, but demonstrates quite handily that he is making far too big a deal out of this topic.

I played Karthus support once for the lols. Somehow, my team didn't flame me, and we won. Really, anything works in Normals. No matter how little Sense it makes.
