Blind Pick rant: REMOVE MIRROR FIGHTS!

BeatzBoyFTW·5/18/2015, 6:43:24 AM·1 votes·1,070 views

I'm getting tired of always fighting against a guy who gets to counter what I can counter, gets to be defensive as how I'm defensive, & also gets to build as identical as me.

I'm all in if I had to fight Riven as a Nasus, but going Nasus vs Nasus is just typically boring, and I hate to be fighting to see who has the better dominance of this certain champ.

I mostly recommend this change to be just in Team Builder, since in Normal Blind Pick, your enemy team has already been fixed for you.

Seriously Rito, it's not funny....

EDIT: Nvm, I left the game. First time in 4 months I think.

I don't think you understand what "blind pick" means. If you can't pick Nasus because your opponent picked Nasus, you know what they picked.

I think they should remove matching you against a mirror pick in Team Builder (how exactly am I supposed to practice a champion first time in PvP against someone who will most assuredly not be doing it the first time?)...

BUT, this is not feasible in Blind Pick. Did you not think this through before posting, or are you bored and trolling?

To people who downvotes this,

Let's say you're playing Annie , and the teams are:

Annie Caitlyn Zed Tryndamere JarvanIV vs Janna Caitlyn Zed

...and you have the lousier mirror team. Doesn't this frustrates you? Your mind could have been all "OMFG RIOT, WHY PUT ME WITH THIS MIRROR TEAM? I SHOULD BE IN THAT TEAM!!!" Even if you think your team can do better teamfight, but thanks to that similar enemy team compo, they can do it better.

Dude, you shouldn't be building identical every game in the first place. And if someone is copying your build on purpose, that's stupid.

To handle a mirror match, understand your champion's weaknesses. Say you're Annie vs Annie. Instead of a item 1052 , you might opt for a cheese item 1033 . Or you'll build item 3158 instead of item 3020 early game to harass more or push lane harder. Shake up your builds, don't always build the same thing. Build a defensive item, focus on cs, hold lane until your jungler ganks.

This is really not something to complain about. Nobody really cares, and it's honestly a bit interesting to see how mirror champions interact with one another and how someone can outplay the other.
