that might be the most troll thing I've ever read on here, including pretty much everything caller ever posted.
Idk man Caller always raped hella hard with his seemingly troll builds.
Oh wow I commented on that a year ago. I miss caller so much :3

Simply doing something unexpected will utterly screw up 90% of players. I played a game recently with a duo top on my team because of two idiots who adamantly wanted that lane solo. We ended up crushing the early game because the enemy top solo had no idea how to handle Karma + Kayle, and the enemy bot lane couldn't deal with my Cho'gath. After totally screwing over the enemy top lane, Karma came bottom and we destroyed them too. Minus some hilarious dives involving running past three turrets and several teamfights with our AP carry displaying aiming skills on par with Hazmat's Gragas video, it was a fairly one-sided game.
The reason this sort of insanity works is because most players don't develop their ability to analyze the game, but learn the offensive/defensive capabilities of opponents and team compositions through rote repetition. That works when an opponent sticks to the meta/standard build and matches your expectations, but not when things are thrown for a loop. Antics like running full Armor or MR pages, using non-standard support champions, or weird item builds can be effective by simple virtue of being unfamiliar.
Yeah that model seemed to fit the type of character he is/was more. I don't know why Riot had to make the top of his pants look like pubic hair in the splash art. Why did he have a laser eye? Who knows
wasn't callers strat to rice up 2x everyone elses farm and ignore his team and then come and clean up with said farm when team has been behind from not having him in the map all game and be like "lol carried?"
i personally would never do something like that >.>
As a bot lane player it just sucks hard being purple due to pick order and map imbalance. If anything they should disconnect first pick from automatically having blue side and maybe even switch it up.
What's there not to agree about, start blue side, take dbl goals hit two first, zone enemy bot lane so hard they started in Alaska, and now see Russia.
I thought the way to counter this, was to have jungler start red, and botlane gets wolves?

this would clear up the problem, but it's a very inelegant solution.
Also, considering the 1v2 lanes, that are becoming more popular, this should become less of an issue.

this is a bandaid fix and doesn't remedy the whole problem where purple can just take wolves when their jungler starts red. the map symmetry imbalances are a deeper problem that needs more thought before they do anything rash.

Penalizes jungler starting red. You get to wolves before they spawn, whereas dbls, not so. Spose u could do wraiths red dbls wraiths wolves blue, but that seems slower than any kind of blue start. Works fine if jungler is going for level two tank, but that doesn't work so well in the ward enemy wraiths era.

Just go kill them at their golems with your mid nps. Take your jungler too you can delay his blue.
