The Oceania Darius Blind Pick Dilemma

The Razz Man··1 votes·563 views

Darius getting nerfed in 5.18 does nothing to help the problems he creates within the Oceanic region. Being forced into blind pick normals against a Darius because of no normal draft means you simply can't play many melee champions if you want to do well in game. It's appalling in all honesty, and while I know normal draft will never be reinstated in OCE (even though we have Dominion and Twisted Treeline..?) I felt like qq'ing about the horrible play patterns in my region, so there we go.

I don't play blind pick (because blind pick sucks), I just exclusively play ranked (I'd exclusively play normal draft if I could, but useless Riot OCE say we can't have that) and since Bronze Hell is a very real thing on a server where every fresh level 30 noob has to get their first taste of draft match experience in ranked queue, I don't bother taking it any more seriously than I would normals. So at least I don't have a problem. Surprisingly, no-one plays Darius since the juggernaut rework and the one time I DID see one, he sucked ass (typically, he was on my team).

Also, for non-OCE players who missed what was probably sarcasm, we DON'T have Dominion OR Twisted Treeline, as Riot OCE decided they couldn't be assed even giving us the option of playing them, apparently just deciding "eh, not enough of them will want to play it anyway... probably... we think... ah who cares anyway, it's just OCE". We have only half a game here (only 4 game modes- team builder which sucks, blind pick which sucks, ranked which is the basic game only more stressful, and Howling Abyss which is... not to my taste at all) so why would we expect anything from our branch of Riot?

Yeah, fuck Riot OCE. Useless bunch of slack-ass bastards, doing the minimum amount of work possible and giving us the most borked game experience of any server in the world, with the worst solo queue experience possible and them not caring about any of it.
