Now I know not to take your posts seriously.

Replace the rest of CLG's roster and they still won't be able to beat EU teams. Come back to me once you're ready to admit it.

You can't make everyone pro, because then no one will be pro!

People post things on the Riot forums saying like "Anyone can get above 1300 if they do X," which, mathematically, goes against the idea of a competitive ladder (if all ten players do X, half of them will still lose).


No it doesn't...

Suppose there is a 1000 man rock paper scissors tournament. The bottom 951 players in this tournament only know how to throw rock. They are too stubborn or stupid to learn the dual arts of scissors and paper.

If I posted on the RPS forums "anyone can finish top 50 in this tournament, you just need to throw paper", it would be true. It doesn't go against ANYTHING mathematically.
I think what he's trying to say isn't that any one person can't do well and finish top 50 (double negative, confusing..). Sure anyone can become good by learning to throw paper. But if everyone throws paper, then everyone isn't in the top X percent. They're average. But more of, a high rating is essentially equivalent to a statement saying they are better than X percentage of all players. If all players then get to that rating, it doesn't mean they are all that rating, because it won't mean the same thing.


but saying 'what if everyone throws paper' departs from reality

Maybe this? I use it sometimes when I'm tired of doing the same thing. I just played Cho with Fiendish Codex, Cloak & Dagger and Archangel's Staff (along with some other more forgivable items). It's kinda fun if you're not too worried about your teammates thinkin' you're insane.

It was but he doesn't have the funds to change it. I think the Grackis team will do pretty well.

I'm not sure what you mean but the rock paper scissors example wasn't mine. Bottom line is everyone can't be better than most others because someone has to be at the bottom, which is what he meant.

It's the 3rd time (afaik) that S2 announces the release of a hero extremely similiar to the one that Riot showed they would be releasing.
