Another worlds fiesta day
I really didn't wanted to post anymore, but the way casters are saying bad things about Crown, making him "look like a bad player." is the reason why I just need to stand behind him and support him at least on boards. They really are saying crown lost their game, when he did better then Jensen in that trade ? Crown played both games exceptionally good on Syndra and Malzahar ! Loosing only because of rune and champions imbalance ? Ask any old school player if that syndra should be dead. Crown hitted spell. BTW did they did same with uzi, he lost game, by his bad positioning (his classic) and nobody said that in analysis ? Yeah guess crown skill not selling and they really want Uzi skin. Also looks like casters forgot that riot balance team made sure that Crown signature champs are unplayable. Current state of malzahar is joke. While Uzi different story. So it should be exactly opposite, feeling with Crown and flaming Uzi, that he can't carry even on kai'sa.
A lot of people will argue with me, but. Honestly are you really happy with this ? Shen ulting lb clone. Shen ulting nocturne when he don't need to. Shen don't ulting adc when adc dies. Nocturne failing spell-shield multiple-times. Down back in time you would not win if you fail so much. Hecarim failing dive (Other then that he did good also Licorice is really good player in my eyes, so It's not like I don't like NA, he was the guy that deserved that win but others nope, Jensen was kind of okay too, but he got lead and he should not.) Unable to win team-fights from 10k gold lead. Sivir failing every ult. Urgot missing ult. Leona missing ult multiple times. Lee sin kicks not clear. LB doing not so well (Same as with Licorice I really like Jizuke, just his lb performance was just not good enough this game) etc..
Just look at the most viewed game in e-sports on LoL channel. It is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY-hTW1W-DU 4 years (!) old game. In that game WORSE team could not win because:
- Champions were balanced, meaning each of them had chance to stay alive during laning phase.
- There was not broken champs, you don't see same champs picked over and over.
- You could win team-fights from 15k gold deficit when you executed perfectly.
- There was no rift that supports the rng gold lead generated in start or rng drakes.
- Your supports were not dying when they do what they SHOULD (just look at rakan dying while playing what he is supposed to so many times). And was support ABILITIES that were singing the game. Not Ardent censer. Or zeke convergence this year.
- Rengar, talon double jumping midlaner with 10!! kills ahead didn't instakill him. (Crown got instakilled with nocturne having 1 and lb 2)
- Top-lane unbalance could not let you down 20 creeps in early.
- Turrets were more balanced then now. Nexus turrets were hard to kill. Towerdives needed to be executed perfectly to be efficient. Hiding on turret was an option how to outplay.
- Not a single out of screen engage champions were played there.
- You needed to outplay enemy champion even from gold lead.
- Players needed to play a LOT of champions, not have 3-4 champ pool.
- Baron was not overpowering minions, that meant you needed to know how to siege with baron buff. (Now all oy kneed to know is group 4 memebers under turret and one with tp on other side (super easy to execute).)
- Something as "Build path" was not featue on all champions, it was champions's special. Corki trinity etc. On other champions you could go different builds every game.
You can say whatever you want Crown, Faker and Pawn WERE gods of this game and balance team destroyed their style. Destroyed old ryze. Destroyed twisted fate pick by making others easier to execute better (galio). Destroyed azir. Destroyed zed. Destroyed karma. Destroyed lulu. Made orianna substituional to Ornn (easier to execute). Made Syndra unplayble in certain matchups. Destroyed midlane potentional to carry. Uzi is god ? Just watch that video in times were ADC was balanced, watch it and see why he has not won worlds. His positioning is awful. He can be tricked. He is not game changer.
People are saying the GAP IS CLOSING. But that's not true, true is that game is becaming more easier and more rng based, without outplay potentional.
That's why we loved the game. The better team was WINNING. It was an excellent show of high reflexes and intuition strategy and mechanical skills. That's why it has 3 millions views and this worlds has 300 000 (And i count here twitch also). And that's why I have mostly dislikes, because the 2 700 000 people watching it already left. Only 300 000 still likes to watch it. And obviously if you watch it you like it. There are only few guys like me, that wants skill to win and still watch this game because skill is not winning games anymore.
