The best thing they could come up with was that in football, out of all the sports that are played at a professional level (and that they analysed obviously) the team that is better on paper is least likely to win. So football is popular because it's more random. How is that relevant here? Dunno, but randomness isn't always a bad thing. wtf the team that is better on paper usually wins wtf the reason its popular is because all you need to play or practice is a football while in games like american football rugby cricket baseball etc its a very rigid rule structure while a group of 7 kids from school in the backarse of nowhere can find any field and put down some sweaters for goalposts and go at it and one might become the next great player you can p much have any number to practice/play football and only need a football for equipment similar to why basketball is popular around black communities since they live in mostly urban areas they don't have access to fields but if theres a court and a basketball you can play 1 can practice 2 can 1 on 1 4 can 2vs2 etc for example paul scholes' dad used to get into arguments with the neighbour because little scholes was just booting a football against a wall all day every day and then you see him playing for manchester united every fucking goal he has is from the middle just outside the box whenever the ball randomly gets knocked in his direcetion he just runs in and boots it straight in LOL | ||

The football team is still more likely to win than lose, they're just less likely to win when compared to analogous situations in any other sport. | ||

edit: 'Least likely to win' means when comparing a statistically stronger team going into a football match to another statistically stronger team (or player) in ANY other sport, the football team is most likely to lose. The correlation between skill and winning is just not as strong in football as it is in other things. | ||

The fact that you were in a position to get hit by Zed meant you misplayed it, regardless of having QSS. it's like doublelift bitching about gettign 2v1'd when he's pushed past river splitpushing without wards. | ||

Just playing against that matchup you're required to spend 1.2k gold on a fucking MR item against zed, just for an active. Chances are, he's still gunna fucking kill you regardless of his ult or not, due to the fact he's 1.2k gold on top of you in stats. If you got rekt by zed, you were either a) too far behind, crit doesn't matter, or b) you mispositioned and let zed get 2 autos off. | ||

Situation 1, Zed flashes to you without using shadow - he ults, you qss - he shadows to you, you flash, he shadows back, you're useless already, Zed wins because your team fights without adc. Situation 2, Zed uses shadow to reach you - he ults, you qss - he flashes to you, you flash, same story Situation 3, Zed doesn't have flash but you have - he ults, you qss - he shadows, you flash, he goes back, same as situation 1 Situation 4, Zed doesn't have both flash and shadow - he ults, you qss - you punch him, because he can't reach you probably, because ghostblade was already used to ult you in first place So, in 75% of situations, when you have both summoners up, Zed basically forces you out of fight anyway despite not getting those 2 shots and you having qss, it's random numbers ofc, just for sake of Zed vs adc matchup. | ||

Situation 5: Your team is around the ADC and as soon as Zed ults he gets blown up, and the ADC wouldn't die unless Zed gets 2 crits in a row. Also I don't see how your ADC is out of the fight in all of those situations, because the ADC won't be below half HP and he can just run back to the fight (1-2 seconds) after Zed shadows back as well. Plus Zed is even more useless than the ADC. Edit: There are also non-teamfight situations to consider, for example a 1v1 where those 2 crits decide who wins and who loses. | ||
