I Understand they do different metas and ect. However JUST because you see a Zyra on their team doesn't mean-you-pick-Miss Fortune. -.-;

Everytime, I mean literally everytime I've seen this happen I have lost. Doesn't matter if my mid lane or even top lane wins. To even add more salt to the wounds our actual Adc was a kalista. Mind you they were fighting against a Varus...#Get snared anyway. THERE IS A REASON they get paid to play games, they are ABLE to pull off those kind of Metas.

I'm all for people trying stuff new or unique things. Hell I play Urgot, but I know good damn well I practiced before I even touched rank with him..

Some of the blame can be sourced back to Riot, after all, their position is that only plat and up can play the game to their standards. Also noteworthy is that people will pick what the pros play simply because its most visible, regardless of whether its practical.

When has kalista and MF been visible? Kalista period.

Both have seen play at the highest levels, quite prominently, I might add.

People do really need to learn that: Something you are good at >>>> what is meta >>> a counter pick. That goes both ways the player and thier teammates.

But go ahead and try things the pros do.. until you are good at them.. before playing ranked.

I got way better at Bard from watching the pros use them, but they are a really risky pick in ranked... such a fine line between awesome and feeding.

You know what those copy-cat players should do before? Build their fundamentals.

In fighting games this is more apparent as most copy-cats will only go for combos or resets without any concept of how to land a hit. However any bomby play a pro makes could be considered similar.

Some of the fundamentals are shared: spacing, pressure, respect and disrespect of options, and of course playing to win, not to show off.
