Looks like we're back to status quo. Hope more of you lurkers unburrow and talk with us. :3

Man the dialogue in that Equilibrium scene made the other clip seem better written.

Have you seen the movie? It makes more sense if you know what they are talking about and why they say it.

People better hope that blue ez doesn't get more popular, it might result in a frozen fist nerf similar to what they did to mallet. The half sized aoe slow is irrelevant, a 30% range slow is strictly too powerful, and I'm surprised riot is going this route again.

How can it be any more popular? Every Ez does it. Remember, Ez was considered bad in S3 before this build, and now he's EVERYWHERE.

Well it's nice that ez is actually playable now, but what he can do is just fucking absurd. And it's not like he's played every single game or banned at all.

Don't think I've had a game without an Ez in it for the past week at least.

How the hell is Talon this high. Oo Teemo I can guess, if it's across all leagues, same with Yi, but Talon and Ashe...
Oh, yeah, free week. Haven't used those in awhile, so I forget.

I found the Equilibrium scene super corny and boring but I'm pretty demanding with that kind of stuff.

And yet they lose more then they win. Who cares if he's popular if he's losing? I'm worried about people actually winning with him, since the blue ez build is maybe 2 weeks old to common people.

According to the Koreans,

Blue Ezreal (is what the Koreans call the build that Doublelift uses in his Pentakill game vs EU) needs a lot of babysitting, and kills fed to him. That's why not many people play Blue Ezreal in Korea. In that particular games, stars aligned for Doubelift for the Pentakill, but that does not make Ezreal a good AD champion compared to others in the current meta, nor the build that was used.

Granted, blue Ez might be stronger in solo queue than it is in arranged. Or the Koreans are just plain wrong.

I contend that blue Ez is popular because it's fun as hell to play and it's easier than playing a standard ADC. I don't think it's stronger than standard ADC play or standard Ez play though.

adc champs are pretty popular.
That's what I conclude from that chart.

ADC is basically required in nearly every game. In the history of League the number of ADCs that were popular and/or deemed viable has always been really low. Usually anywhere from 2-4 champs. Right now it's actually a lot better since there's at least 5 ADCs who are all really popular (Ez, MF, Caitlyn, Draven, and maybe Vayne+Varus).

I think the thing to take away is how binary the community views bot lane picks. The champion pool for ADC and support are the lowest pools in the entire game. Compare to mid or top where you can run just about anything or jungle where lots of junglers are perceived as being strong. Then you go to ADC or support and you can count how many champions the community perceives as good on one hand.

edit:
I personally think that nearly every ADC is viable and that the support champion pool is really large. But for whatever reason the champion pools that people zone in on is always really low at any given time for both roles.

48+% winrate is not bad for solo que. I remember them nerfing Olaf to oblivion when he had like a 45% or something. Also you must consider the number of games. For example Rammus' is the 3rd highest win % chance in the entire game. Is Rammus OP or a top pick? lol no just the people that play him know their shit. There is a bunch of people that suck at Ezreal playing him and still winning, imo that's much scarier.

Also did you forget saying this?
