You basically rationalise that CertainlyT making a train wreck is okay because "we learn something from it". Here is the deal, Riot has been making a ton of mistakes too, and most people criticise them for it. What makes the dude so different that their mistakes are seen almost only as steps forward and actually welcomed whereas we snap at Riot whenever they fuck something up?
This is what we call double standards.
Not to mention, let's face it, a lot of CertainlyT's mistakes are REOCCURRING from BOTH his own mistakes and other people's mistakes. It means they simply aren't paying attention at all whatsoever. So how and in what way is that progressive, when they keep making the same fucking mistakes that could have been easily avoided by looking at other designer's past mistakes as well as their own history?

Thresh isn't a breath of fresh air in his looks. He's looks is something we can find in the bottom of DeviantArt. I mean, we complained about Death Sworn skins being bland as fuck, but somehow Thresh is a "breath of fresh air"? Nothing on this guy's physical appearance is remotely original and thoughtful besides the lantern, I will not hold this guy's physical design to any high esteem if I were you. Also he isn't somehow the first male support in the game you're making out to be, do you remember Alistar and Blitzcrank?
Speaking of Blitzcrank, you claim that Thresh "doesn't feel out of place and somehow actually works", that's because Thresh was literally a rip-off of Blitzcrank; their kits are almost identical. So much for CertainlyT's fucking creativity amiright? How Thresh even made it out of the design board in the first place, and hasn't been reworked like Fiora who was a rip-off of Yi, is anybody's guess. Thresh is literally an upgraded version of Blitzcrank, who's also literally designed to do it all, and is also a disgusting meme who represents everything wrong about cooperate's ruthless cutthroat and favouritism culture on many fronts (think about it, both in terms of workplace politics and marketing); and you just called him a good character, lol.

I can also guess your age if "dark and evil" is literally your definition of cool. Maybe not your physical age, but I sure as hell can guess your mental age from that statement alone.

Regarding Zoe: "Never seen before" is also a poor argument. If I go taking a selfie in the middle of a highway, that would probably be something nobody has seen before, and nobody has seen that because nobody is dumb enough to do it. While not absolute, but a lot of things are never or less seen, because it's really just a bad idea. It's not all rainbows and sunshine, appeal to novelty arguments of "never seen before therefore it's good" is considered a logical fallacy and invalid or at least severely less valid. Speaking of W, it's also extremely RNG dependent, something Riot has said to be completely against; but I guess when you're CertainlyT, everybody is just gonna give you a pass on every fucking thing.
"what can we do to make a nidalee spear work that isn't complete cancer" Except Zoe's Q is old Nid's spear that can also change direction. And Zoe has hard CC, Nid doesn't have any CC. Less cancer? Debatable at best.
Speaking of E, it literally has the power budget of an ultimate. If it hits, that's already 2 sec stun, which is already VERY powerful, but no, CertainlyT doesn't think it's remotely enough, and so: if it doesn't hit, it's an AoE trap that can potentially stun the whole team; if the target is put asleep, they take double damage from the next attack on them, yes, fucking double damage (and sure they tried to put a cap on it, but nope they only put a soft-cap because... idk fuck me); if you hit the E that already has a big hitbox, you should somehow also be rewarded with soft reset for some reason; and you should also be able to extend the range when you hit the walls, because of course no one should be able to zone and contest against her, and that she should be able to CC someone from 1/3 across the map with literally no risk for doing so. But I guess that's k because it's SO FUUNNNNNN. lol. Fuck off.
And you're saying she's less cancer than old Nidalee. LMAO

Double standards, double standards. No.
CertainlyT is not some messiah, let's all be fucking real. He is just some random trash (imho) designer who's so trash everyone actually think he's good. No. I will never understand why people will keep sucking this failure's (imho) dick so much. This is me being very blunt here, because I've honestly had enough of his BS, and the fact not only no one is calling him out for his continuous and never ending catastrophic fuck-ups (or at least no one calling out on him has been seriously listened by Riot), people seem to actually love it when he repeatedly pulls his shit again and again with literally no improvement in sight, no respect for his fellow designers and the very game he's working on, and they just keep trying their overloading meta designs over and over again while the balance and reworks team commences a never-ending chase to clean up this guy's never-ending hot mess; and we not only don't cricitise him we encourage and cheer him on for it. For fuck sake.
are all pure cancer to face on the Rift. Why doesn't Riot take player experience seriously? Where is the fun in playing against champions who remove all your agency? Where is the fun in playing against champions who are deliberately crafted as cancerous through annoying sounds, "way of being", physical looks, frustrating mechanics (mobility, hooks, lack of clear counterplay etc.).

's rework proves otherwise.
