Has Riot just completely forgotten about the UoL vs fnatic game?

You know, probably the best game in LCS history? The one where fnatic got UoL's nexus down to less than 500 hp two times and UoL still came out on top? The one where neither team really picked a champion that had bullshit mobility and could make "big plays" (i.e. right-clicking as Kalista and pressing E occasionally, pressing R as Zed, waiting for your team to do something and then pressing R as Yasuo, etc.)?

Was that not a huge hint to Riot that maybe, just maybe, actual strategic fights between mostly-immobile teams, in which decisions actually matter because there is no backing out of fights once committed, are much more tense and fun to watch than 10 "LC$BIGPLAY$" champions seeing who can button-mash the fastest and then press E to get out with no repercussions?

Eh, guess not. Let's just buff Lee Sin, I guess.

Riot has always ignored proofs like those that their design philosophies are wrong.

it happened with the Karma ''rework'' when they ignored Old ~~True~~ Karma had a very, very successful pro game where she basically carried in a show of teamwork.

Don't worry. Riot hasn't forgotten about it. In fact, not only are they buffing Lee but they are also going to buff Zed!

On PBE: shadow slash Damage increased to 80/130/180/230/280 (up from 60/90/120/150/180)

yeah im perma banning lee sin again. I mean I'd rather ban janna as my last ban just so I can garuntee the dive into the adc is akill but at this pont fuck it. Just played against a lee earlier and he fucked us with his broken R twice in a row and that ended the game broken fucking 10% health gone because LCS big plays.

UoL have a horrible name and Fnatic are extremely overhyped.
