Ranked is predominantly all pick. You'd have a much wider winrate spread in league too if all champs were free and ranked had no bans. | ||

People random, pick weird shit and overall care a lot less about pubs than in League. Throw in some bans then you in serious mode. | ||

In League, it's far less likely for a player who has no clue what they're doing to play those kinds of heroes. | ||

I like this system myself, allows icefrog to do retarded stuff like Global Stampede that stuns without completely breaking the competitive game. Technically Riot does that too, by disabling champions for two weeks after their reworks. As for itemisation, imagine if building Diana Zhonya's + Abyssal let her do as much damage as Lichbane + Deathcap now, that's pretty much DotA. Pretty hard scaling damage abilities/passives (Naix basically has BotRK's passive as his,' cept he also heals for as much as it damages, and his slow/damage amp ability increases everyone's sustain basically) and hybrid itemisation means you already have the damage by default, you just build to survive. You also don't have to devote more than one slot to crit (and not everyone does it, while marksmen all build at least 2 items with crit, major items too apart from those relying on Triforce/Ghostblade builds), and you're generally stronger by virtue of being a bunch of levels higher than the non-core enemies, so more stats (DotA goes to 25 levels and supports usually lag behind by a ton). | ||

In League, it's far less likely for a player who has no clue what they're doing to play those kinds of heroes. When people mention heroes/champs with high winrates and low play rates like sejuani, I always hear the argument that a hero only has that winrate because the only people who play them are (sej) mains. But I never hear that low win rate heroes have an overinflated winrate because they're not popular and are only played by Chen mains. Bad in pubs is bad in pubs. http://dotametrics.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/680winrates.png Meepo's considered one of the hardest heroes to play correctly, and you need macros and a couple practice games to even play him at like 50% effectiveness, yet he's got the biggest difference from low to high level play. Here I assume higher level players have refined their skills with the heroes they do play eg. Meepo. | ||

Why do you do this to me  .Disabling someone for 2 weeks is hardly enough time for anything. Think ES has been out of CM for like a year now? Well he's never actually been in CM I think. I know Drow/Cent were out for quite some time too.

The closest I know of this in league is the old Leblanc having a slightly below par winrate in pubs but super high play rate in comp games. | ||

Shit winrate strong champ. Oddly enough, the winrate drops the higher you go in leagues for Lee Sin here in China pre nerf, and post nerf hes averaging a cool 47% from bronze to dia, then 50% in challenger. Somehow, through all the nerfs on junglers, Jarvan is once again back on top. Riot will probably start the nerf cycle again | ||

This entire blog is essentially restating things they've said in the past as to why they are not going to bother with the journal anymore and then alluding(at least in my opinion) that they plan to pretty much do a reboot of the lore in some fashion and toss out the old stuff they don't like. I am not sure how I feel about this to be honest. Most definitely needs more information and details but they obviously want to either axe the Summoner/Champion dynamic or reframe it from puppetmaster/puppet to a more equal partnership. At least I hope they are shifting to like equal partner and not just axeing the entire summoner thing. Which I thought was pretty awesome in the first place. | ||

I think the original LoL lore had something funny/goofy about it, and that was part of it's charm at times. It didn't try to take itself too seriously, and still had a decent story. I don't mind the reboot too much, but I will miss the attitude of the old lore(a bit more laid back and silly). I hope they remake certain JoJ articles though. For example, if they can reincorporate LeBlanc pretending to be Jarvan IV to incite the war, it would be cool. There were some decent stories that could be made out of some of the JoJ stuff. | ||
