League of Counter-picks

Yenn··1 votes·264 views

4/5 games right now are decided entirely by picks. The remaining 1/5 games are decided by which team has a chimp AFK feeding. Good games haven't been a thing since season 3.

This isn't being fixed why?

Because it makes you want to buy more champions because you can't win with only one.

picks dont matter its solo que

Solo Queue picks do not matter as much because it matters more which teams work well together and follow plays/calls together and can sync plays off each other well and also which players master the champions they are playing better. If you are a god at a certain champ, you will most likely do very well regardless of what the enemy picks against you. This is why I recommend you keep your pool narrower rather than wider so you can gain high actual mastery with a small versatile pool of champions. Aim for about 7 - 11 champs that you can play in multiple roles so that you have a pool of about 3 - 4 in each role and aren't boned if you don't get a certain lane. As we don't dedicate as much time or play at the same level as LCS players, having a wider pool only lowers your overall mastery. Having the ability to play multiple lanes with a champion also helps your team out by switching roles or lanes during champion select based on match ups and your team mates own lane abilities.
