Anything that shuts IWDominate up sounds good to me.

Edit: Oh, I got to the end.

Now the prize is this: If he is able to do this [get to Challenger in NA] before the end of Season 8, I will host his streams and retweet all the tweets he wants about the state of the Top Lane.

:)

hashinshin is the weirdest streamer i know. every time i watch him all he does is towerdive full hp enemys and then complain that "riot has no idea how to balance" lol

Honestly I hate iwd I mean , yeah Hashinshin complains a lot , and stuff , but isn't he exactly like most of player base? I mean I'm used to play with negative people anyway , just because he is streamer doesn't mean that he is a bad guy if he is negative , most of people usually hate champions they got killed by , and complain about them , that's normal . Even tho he thinks Jax is weak , imo Jax is broken , but it's opinions

I honestly think Hashi could be a lot better if he cared more. I often see him repeatedly run down lane or tower dive people when he's behind just out of frustration. A lot of his deaths are massively preventable.

Hashinshin did mention he plays for fun. As a top main, I really have no other streamer to follow than Hash, he kinda has a point most of the time but clouds it with passion for the game and forgets to mention some things or exaggerates some things.

They don't call him the super top for no reason!

IWD says that if you want to climb you have to play what is meta. Currently Hash is climbing in large part because several fighters are actually in good spots including Jax currently.

IWD seems to have the mentality of winning is all that matters while Hash seems to want the game to be more enjoyable again. Yes Hash has played tanks before but he clearly does not like playing Maokai, Malphite or Naut all that often.

Most of what Hash says could be summed up in these 2 points.

  1. top lane isn't important enough in the game currently
  2. the game just isn't as fun as it use to be. Both are subjective but just reading the boards it is clear that a sizable part of the player base can agree on the not as fun as it use to be part being at least somewhat true.

He doesn't want to play tanks because tanks are generally not as enjoyable to play as fighters in his view (only tank I really enjoy playing is Shen and he has a fair amount of fighter aspects to him). Hash wants fighters to be more important and for tanks to not be effectively less enjoyable to play fighters with often times better engage and CC while also having comparable damage.

I think being able to his masters is enough to give credibility to his arguments and show that he understands the game. He has a lot of top lane experience. He isn't #1 on the ladder or anything, but that doesn't mean he isn't an extremely knowledgeable player, if not a living meme.

Jax is at his strongest right now with tanks and TP being nerfed to near nonviability

He won 21 games in a row like wow

I mean one can argue that hashinshin is practically disproving his own arguments about how Top is weak by winning every single game,

That isnt the challenge tho. It has nothing to do with the season. Its to not post anything related to balance anywhere until he hits challenger.

He totally didn't duo abuse if you look at his op.gg XD

What you guys don't understand is that Hashishin is rekted either way since he's playing toplane. If he reaches challenger and shows that 90% winrate since that vids, it means that toplane isn't weak at all which in turn demolish his whole argument.

I want to see a clip of hashinshin looking at this vid. :D

Wish they'd both just quietly disappear from the streaming scene forever.
