I picked Nasus bot... NO!! i'm gonna report u! DONT!
I picked Panth bot ... NO!!! U're reported! get rdy to be banned!
I picked TF bot... NOOO!! What r u doing!!!
I never had this problem on other servers...
There is not one way to play this game...
meanwhile NA at Worlds... can't even make it to Quarters.. =/
exactly. never listen to NA on balance.
And I'll bet if a Korean player did ANY of the stuff you mentioned, all of NA would be screaming:
"OH! CHECK OUT THE BRAND NEW OP KOREAN STRAT! I'M GONNA SPAM THE SAME BUILD IN MY GAMES! IT'S SO BROKEN AND OVERPOWERED!"
It's honestly just sad, at this point, that NA players look down on any of their own players for theorycrafting, but will praise other servers for it, as though they're gods, of some kind.
This game in a nutshell. If you don't follow stale meta that has been around for 10 years you deserve to be reported.
NA doesn't understand macro as well as the other regions. That's why we have the NA/ARAM meme. NA pros play plenty of "off-meta picks", they just focus on how to fight, not how to play the map. Trying to see how well the champ can be played isn't what's most important in "theory crafting", especially in solo queue. Its about how you can take advantage of the pick in your teams draft & the enemies. If you're picking nasus bot into a long range enemy bot, then expect to be flamed because you're only hurting your team's chances. Especially if your support or adc isnt complementing your champ. (Think of garen/yuumi which have proper synergy, then try to think of how well something like malz/rakan would work.)
Does that make sense?
