In NA there's still a stigma around video games, so there still isn't a good support structure in place to help young, raw, talented kids in solo Q get the regimen and training to turn that talent into something that cane be used on the stage.
Korea specifically stands out in terms of Jungle/Top/Support IMO. There are a few non-Korean ADCs and Mids who can/could compete at a similar level to the best Koreans, but for the other roles it seems rare.

I'm saying its ultimately not the laners decision, its the junglers decision. We're assuming that if you're in the same game, your general skill level and understanding of the game is about on par. In that case, due to the nature of the game (mid takes blue more often than jungle), jungle should cede blue to mid in case of disagreement, because you're both equally likely to be right/wrong, so giving blue to mid is correct more often than not. If you both agree there's no problem. And if it was left to the laner to decide he'd usually choose to take the blue himself, which coincides with the correct course of action based on probabilities. So to adress a point I don't think you meant as a hyperbole (difficult to tell) you said that middle laner and jungler are equally likely to be wrong about who should get the blue, and therefore mid should get the blue because mid should is probably correct. But that's contradicting itself, you JUST SAID they are equally likely to be wrong. wtf?
?
They're equally likely to be wrong about a particular instance, BUT because mid should get blue more often than jungle, in case of a 50/50 disagreement you should cede it to the guy who's more likely to be right (even if it's for the wrong reasons).

See, I thought about saying Top/Jungle/Support specifically, but then you have some pretty solid mid laners in Korea right now. And until China came in, there were a ton of top-tier ADCs in Korea too, not to mention the mid laners who left Korea to go to China for the money. Hence why I said everything.

If they are equally likely to be wrong about a particular instance then they are equally likely to be wrong in general. Which would make sense, because junglers are more likely to demand a blue buff when they have good reasons for it.

From the macro level, mid should get blue more often than jungle. Therefore, if there is disagreement and you don't know who's right/wrong, you give it to blue because it's more likely to be useful on mid than blue over many games. It could be totally wrong in that specific game/instance but that's the drawback of using a heuristic.

well why'd you say that jungler and middle laner are equally likely to be wrong then?
Was it a hyperbole?

I'm fairly certain that's how it works for everybody at all skill levels.
The bungler takes blue when he believes he has a reason to take it over mid. Most junglers aren't like I GET BLUE BECAUSE I WANT TO LOSE THE GAME

When arguing over any single blue buff you have no good way of figuring out who's right/wrong.

If you think giving your midlaner blue is so good but rare then just give it and receive freelo for all the times your opponnet doesn't?

that's a pretty big abuse of statistics though
mid gets more often than blue and all of those times jungle agrees
its like if there are 10 balls in a box and you count 7 blue and 3 purple and the other guy counts 2 purple and 8 blue you should assume its 8 blue and 2 purple because t here are more blue balls
ultimately it takes more effort for both jungle and mid to trade off blue than to just take it so inertias in the "undecided-->jungler" camp, game mechanics are in that camp (smite) and generally the jungle has to think about things like handing off blue much more than mid so he's probably got a stronger idea of when its good or not

yes you do, you can use your past experience combined with reasoning process to determine the likelihood that you're correct. That's a very good way of figuring it out and it's the same process you use when making any decision in league of legends. Just because middle laners should get blue buff more than 50% of the time it doesn't follow that you should give your middle laner blue buff WHENEVER he wants it.

Well the point is mid could have a different assessment of the situation based on HIS past experience/reasoning/etc. and come to a different conclusion than the jungler. And since they're in the same game it's assumed they have similar skill/critical capabilities, so it's not at all clear who's right in his assessments. But because you know that mid should get blue more often you just give it to mid in case of disagreements. This, however, requires you putting aside your ego and acknowledging you could be wrong which is what is really driving the disagreement.
You can, as you said previously, try to lay out your view and see if he changes his miind, but how often do you see that happen?

I'm sorry cheep if you're not smart enough to even understand my post that doesn't mean you can automatically ignore it.
part of the reason the metaphor doesnt make sense is that its just a direct port of your reasoning to another medium where you're not horribly biased
Your suggestion of going with the mid laner purely because he gets blue more often (when both parties are in agreement) is just the same as suggesting that a ball you can't agree on being blue or purple is blue because more of the balls in the box are blue (where you also both agree)
The fact is that there's no reason to think that the ball is blue or purple just based on the number of blue and purple balls in the box without any other information.

Do you know what a heuristic is? It means you accept the fact that you will sometimes make an incorrect decision (say the ball is purple I guess lol?) because it means you will make the correct decision the majority of the time.

This, however, requires you putting aside your ego and acknowledging you could be wrong which is what is really driving the disagreement. You can, as you said previously, try to lay out your view and see if he changes his miind, but how often do you see that happen?
Or you could as a mid laner put aside your ego and let your jungler decide what he thinks is best based on his reasoning, because that's his job and not yours.

A better analogy is there are 8 blue balls and 2 purple balls in the box, you pick one out, mid says it's blue and jungler says it's purple. Either could be correct in the given instance but if you had to pick you'd say the ball is blue and you give mid laner the blue buff and you win the game.

What you're not saying is jungle should choose to not give it to them.
I'm saying its ultimately not the laners decision, its the junglers decision. We're assuming that if you're in the same game, your general skill level and understanding of the game is about on par. In that case, due to the nature of the game (mid takes blue more often than jungle), jungle should cede blue to mid in case of disagreement, because you're both equally likely to be right/wrong, so giving blue to mid is correct more often than not. If you both agree there's no problem. And if it was left to the laner to decide he'd usually choose to take the blue himself, which coincides with the correct course of action based on probabilities. So to adress a point I don't think you meant as a hyperbole (difficult to tell) you said that middle laner and jungler are equally likely to be wrong about who should get the blue, and therefore mid should get the blue because mid should is probably correct. But that's contradicting itself, you JUST SAID they are equally likely to be wrong. wtf? ? They're equally likely to be wrong about a particular instance, BUT because mid should get blue more often than jungle, in case of a 50/50 disagreement you should cede it to the guy who's more likely to be right (even if it's for the wrong reasons). that's a pretty big abuse of statistics though mid gets more often than blue and all of those times jungle agrees its like if there are 10 balls in a box and you count 7 blue and 3 purple and the other guy counts 2 purple and 8 blue you should assume its 8 blue and 2 purple because t here are more blue balls Uh...what?

well why'd you say that jungler and middle laner are equally likely to be wrong then? When arguing over any single blue buff you have no good way of figuring out who's right/wrong. yes you do, you can use your past experience combined with reasoning process to determine the likelihood that you're correct. That's a very good way of figuring it out and it's the same process you use when making any decision in league of legends. Just because middle laners should get blue buff more than 50% of the time it doesn't follow that you should give your middle laner blue buff WHENEVER he wants it. Well the point is mid could have a different assessment of the situation based on HIS past experience/reasoning/etc. and come to a different conclusion than the jungler. And since they're in the same game it's assumed they have similar skill/critical capabilities, so it's not at all clear who's right in his assessments. But because you know that mid should get blue more often you just give it to mid in case of disagreements.

The idea that one person considers the entire game because it's his "role" and the other is some mechanical skillshot/CS machine is what leads to Doublelift lol.
There's no reason to assume jungle has a better understanding of the overall game than mid, or vice versa.

how is it different?

How is that a better analogy? If there are so many situations its clear cut the mid gets blue then by that logic why not listen to the jungler when he says mid shouldn't get blue? Since it's so rare the jungler says no maybe he has more weight when he does say no?
not saying its true just that its just as valid as your argument

I'm sorry cheep if you're not smart enough to even understand my post that doesn't mean you can automatically ignore it. part of the reason the metaphor doesnt make sense is that its just a direct port of your reasoning to another medium where you're not horribly biased Your suggestion of going with the mid laner purely because he gets blue more often (when both parties are in agreement) is just the same as suggesting that a ball you can't agree on being blue or purple is blue because more of the balls in the box are blue (where you also both agree) The fact is that there's no reason to think that the ball is blue or purple just based on the number of blue and purple balls in the box without any other information. Do you know what a heuristic is? It means you accept the fact that you will sometimes make an incorrect decision (say the ball is purple I guess lol?) because it means you will make the correct decision the majority of the time.
Except this is only relevant if you think the mid laners heuristic is better than the junglers
unless its demonstrably true the jungler should get the blue because its more effort for both parties to give blue than not to give blue

Are we talking about NA SQ here? Because, for SQ, I just tend to prefer the route of least drama because arguments/afks about blue negates pretty much any advantage the blue will give you anyway.
If we were playing on KR/CN SQ where "default rule" is mid gets blue, then, I don't see the big issue in just giving them blue dibs.
Otherwise, going to have to take the fence on that it's situational here. I really don't even see why is there such a big argument about who deserves blue because a bunch of game states can swing away from the norm of mid gets blue.

I'm happy with my "will the midlaner immediately feed blue to the enemy y/n" heuristic.
