LCS =/= SOLO Q

is basically such a stupid argument.

i understand in actual 5's matches a general understanding of how to deal with a champion is an acceptable reason for not banning them..

but why does this magic need to only exist in the LCS and people who watch the LCS cant simply just take the basics of what is taught and apply them to solo Q?

Do we just accept that people cannot get to this level of skill and only these +50 people in the NA exist who can actually work around certain champs and how ever how many people are in other areas?

I cannot stress this enough ... they are humans and they learn from solo Q as well as they learn from playing against each other in scrims. being human .. like i assume 90% of the player base is... we can learn and adapt to these thought processes.

although the only thing i really notice is solo Q is most of the time people come to the game with different strats.

Let us not forget there is a world below B5 where ADC's bring Flash TP on a regular basis. i dont play at that level.. (getting side tracked on a story ... stay with me) ... but i visited my buddy and brought the lap top .. then i had a thought.. lets watch him play and figure out what truly is B5 and Below like he is..

you want to talk about people who play by their own rules.. it is more interesting than LCS at times and i wish that spectate games would not only show +Diamond but one game should show -Bronze.

and i realize they ban Darius on a regular bases..

if you dont take flash/TP as an ADC then dont ban Darius.. it is equally as stupid...

and to end this conversation i know how i feel when i write this.. and i know how everyone who bans Darius feels .. so here is your eternal loop .. http://media1.giphy.com/media/14kWsgozAwOtoc/200.gif

SoloQ is nothing like LCS or even organized team play. Pros see soloQ the same way most of us see coop vs ai: "Oh, I can practice my mechanics here in this low pressure environment."

Teamwork is OP, both players and Riot will back this up every time. A team of five people going up against five players who've never met each other before is most of the time going to be a very one sided game. The team starts the game with a plan, and everyone knows their role in that plan. The soloQ guys all come to the table with five different plans, and then they start to argue, and then they just all agree to stay out of each others way while all five try to carry the other four.

If team play is a motorcycle, soloQ is a bicycle that hasn't been put together yet. You can't treat them in a similar way.

I understand where you're going but disagree about not banning Darius or something. You're basically saying "you can act like lcs in solo queue but you can't act like this that's in lcs because its my opinion that its wrong."
