Some people say to watch high Diamond+ games to learn

But I watch low Diamond and Plat instead for the entertainment value. I call it "Boosted Animal Planet". https://i.gyazo.com/9a4b7cb614ad6700b41b4841ac997594.png

How can you find those matches to spectate? I use lolnexus to spectate but that doesn't have the option to search for Bronze matches.

Go to team recruitment section of forums, tons of bronze lords posting in there. Check them on lol nexus or op.gg get names of people they are playing with, then eventually your name list will find someone online then spectate that one

you used to be able to spectate bronze lcs, they reduced the map to 1 lane since that was all that was being used in bronze.

Some people with autism are savants and ridiculously good at video games, so you're not entirely wrong. Still an asshole, though.

Technically, a savant is only someone with a significant handicap counterbalanced by a skill, and most autists are not significantly handicapped, not even in the social sphere.

FYI: "Autist" isn't a word.

I made it (literally just cut if off the new splash and erased the excess).

To be honest, I have a similar idea with LCS, NACS and ULoL.

LCS has become so boring to watch because the strategies are all saturated. Its not even about who is better anymore, its just about whoever makes the least mistakes, and god knows how little they make these.

I enjoy watching ULoL and NACS because its a little more chaotic. There is actually action going on. its not all about who can 3 man that tower first, then rotate to the oposite lane...

Yes, so much this. I am SO tired of seeing the same damn champions in every game. Jungle Gragas, ADC Sivir, Support Karma, Top Gnar, and Mid Viktor. Every...single...game. You will have a combination of these champions, unless Gangplank, Shen, or Malzahar are left open. And the lane swapping, tower trading, and ridiculously passive gameplay.

The one pro league I do enjoy is the LPL. They go crazy and it's not uncommon for games to have 30 total kills or be over by 25 min. There are far more deviations from the meta in the LPL and people actually bring out pocket picks more often. This is part of the reason why P1 was able to beat TSM and even take a game from IMT - they broke the meta. They played pocket picks that pro teams aren't used to seeing (Jungle Morde anyone?) and were able to surprise their way to victory. If only more teams took those chances.

But in an atmosphere of winning means everything, you're going to see more of the same, and Riot will be the entity determining what is played and how often based on balance changes. The teams are always going to take the strongest picks, even if they are playing them for the 1,000th time. And it's less and less entertaining to watch.
