EPTBlind pick sucks a lot for a lot of reasons, but I don't really care because I don't really treat normals seriously. It'd be great if draft was a viable pick for normal play, but until they change how picks are done the situation isn't going to change.

Somebody else? Why do they have to be ranged? I don't think there's an AP mid who's gonna be better at taking dumps on bads than Diana. But she's melee. Kennen's laning is still really good in mid. He abuses people hard and excels at 1v1ing. | ||

He knows so many shortcuts in the search bar like "carry" for AD carries that I never knew about. Prolly common knowledge but new to me. I vaguely know about these kinds of shortcuts but I never use them myself. Kind of like keyboard shortcuts in gmail - used only by power users and employees of the company. | ||

Being able to pull something really lopsided and have an advantage based on the opponent not being able to see your picks is a lot more problematic for balance than the possibility of being able to counterpick. I've kinda touched on this with Darius, who has really strong laning but has no mobility and is pretty bad in teamfights. They were forced to nerf him mainly because of blind pick, because you couldn't simply blindly pick "random top laner" and expect not to get shit on. He had counterpicks that were able to manage him and take out his main strength (thus make him fairly useless and average) and you also couldn't rely on your jungler, Darius' greatest weakness. The fact that blind pick is the default pub mode means that you can't have too much variety in the game, you can't have champions who are really strong at things and really bad at things, because you can't pick around them. If you make a champion with great strength and great weakness, but you don't know how to abuse his weakness and the guy playing him is really good and knows how to abuse his strength, that champion will look disgustingly broken. With Blind pick, you can't pick a champion who happens to be really good vs him and have the game balanced that way. | ||

It's in fact the opposite. Oh you picked Ken, time to pick Ryze and farm your champ instead of the cs. | ||
