Mind Games - to hover or not to hover? (your pick)
-
Hover Pros: Might prevent your teammates from banning it, or even doing a pick trade. Possible comp building? Cons: Trolls will ban your pick, and if there are 20 que dodges, your pick will be banned when teams are shuffled around.
-
Not Hover Pros: Team can't troll ban you, immune to "shuffle/dodge" bans. Cons: No teamwork potential for trades/comp building.
In my elo, where most players intentionally ban your pick for toxicity's sake and no one is good enough to coordinate trades/comps, it makes the most sense to Not Hover.
BONUS:
- Advanced mind games If your team is always toxic and bans your pick, simply pick what you want to be banned. Going adc but don't like Graves or lulu? Hover one and your team will think you're going lulu adc and ban it for sure.
