Real Players of Genius!
Bud light came out with an amazing line of commercials in the late 1990s and early 2000s called "Real Men of Genius." When I dug these up on the internet I couldn't help but think of some of our more "vocal" members of the league community. Feel free to share your own experiences of "memorable" teammates you've had.
The "we've lost" at the 2 minute mark guy: Today we salute you, "Mr. we've lost at the 2 minute mark guy." Mr. we've lost at the 2 minute mark guuuuyyyy Though you didn't say a single word in champion select, your astute observation and keen insight has deduced that this game is a loss...even though the second wave of minions hasn't even passed the tower. God this game is haaarrrrddddd Even though you intalocked your favorite champion and got counterpicked hard, you're not going to let that change your play style. You're the next Faker, a God of the League, and you'll be damned if you don't get first blood before you hit level 2....or die trying. An ally has been slaaaaiinnnn Though there's four other people on your team, if you're not the center of attention and carrying hard then what's the point of even trying. Time to throw a tantrum at fountaiiinn So here's to you o captain of complaining, because no matter how hard the other lanes are winning, you'll always make sure you feed your lane twice as much.
The "you're all NOOBS" guy: Today we salute you, "Mr. you're all n00bs guy" Mr. you're all n00bs guuuuyyyy Its not your fault that you died 6 times by the 10 minute mark or can't get more than 4 cs per minute, clearly your team is the one to blame. Last hitting is overrateddddd Because you've reached the prestigious rank of Gold 5, you clearly know more than your silver and bronze teammates, even if you have the worst KDA and have done less damage to champions than the support. Respect my fancy boarderrrrr Even though your team is carrying you harder than Hai did for Cloud9, you can see that the real reason your team is losing is because they bought the wrong items. How absurd for your Morgana to build Zhonya's or your Jarvan to go warrior's enchant over cinderhulk. Why can't they see how brilliant you are? Those are actually good items on those champions So here's to you mr. hindsight, because your amazing game knowledge would be wasted if you brought something up less than 20 minutes after it happened.
