Something Wrong With the "LCSBigplays" Argument

Gigglebytes·2/17/2015, 5:25:16 PM·5 votes·547 views

Pretty often when people are complaining about a champion being overpowered and not getting a nerf, people say that Riot doesn't want to nerf the champions that can make "LCSBigplays." (Namely and ) But I have to wonder, are you people watching the same LCS as me? Do you know who I am seeing make the big plays? The ones that stick out in my mind is getting first blood despite a 3 man tower dive, which in turn, pretty much decided the game. I think of KiWiKiD on with those fantastic engages leading to victory! I think of Bjergsen on and (he got a friggin in the LCS)!! I think of Link on doing tons of damage!

But whenever I see a Zed in the LCS he's splitpushing, blows his ult, doesn't get the kill, not much of a splitpushing threat anymore. When I see Kalista and Lee Sin they're kinda just there being thoroughly unimpressive. I really like the LCS and I can't think of one big play made by these guys! So I declare your big plays argument to be absolute collywobbles! Maybe check and see who actually makes the plays before you say "LC$BIGPLAYS" next time okay?

That is all.

Man, Kalista really? dude you really missed out on some plays if u are saying Kalista has been unimpressive.

I generally agree with your arguements on the point that people whine too much and blame LCS big plays. I agree that the champions people cry about aren't even that big in LCS. BUT kalista definitely made some plays this NA LCS

Maybe so OP but I think there's only one necessary argument against people who say the LCS hurts balance, and that is to report them to a psychiatric care center.

No, seriously, they are really struggling mentally if they think the existence of a higher competitive environment is in any way negatively impacting game balance. I could go on about the various reasons why it's so absurd, but I think you understand well enough.

Something tells me that YoloQ is just lagging behind. Partially due to lack of experience against said champions or lack of teamwork.

Considering that Kalista is being picked up less often in the LCS than Siver or Corki or Graves, I assume that Kalista is more of a niche pick in the LCS. And yet she gets complaints in YoloQ over some function that they likely Over Value.

People who don't understand a champ's mechanics, how to play a champ or against a champ, always assume they are OP. It is the ignorance of people who don't take the time to understand these mechanics.

I do watch the LCS every week. If anything, it helps me.
