He's talking about his "DI" thing, which I think is reasonable. Whole idea is not to let game automate because you can path more optimally and change directions more fluidly. I don't think it's that out to lunch, even if he is typically. | ||

But it's pretty minor and a win more kind of thing compared to other mechanics and skills. Maybe nets you an extra kill / getaway every 10 games? Or do I just give him too much credit and he's on some total other ridiculous tirade? | ||

It may have also been used for later smash games, but I kinda fell out of the smash scene after brawl came out (game just wasn't as fun as melee). In melee, when you get hit a hexagon flashes on screen at the point of impact for a few frames. During that time if you tilt the control stick in a direction it will adjust the angle you go flying off in by a little bit. If you smash the control stick in a direction you'll adjust your angle more. DI was super important to survive because it's a rectangular battle area and DIing towards corners lengthened the distance you could get knocked back without leaving. At lower damage levels you could also juke the enemy by DIing down to hit the ground and get a chance to tech the bounce. | ||

Maybe he's bet- less bad about it now 'cause I value my ears too much to have listened to his commentary in the last few weeks, but he kept talking about it like it was an ever-present crucial aspect. Pretty sure I heard him use it in context of rotation as well as champion control too. With a different meaning than when he used it in starcraft too. He just makes it sound like he found a couple of words that sounded knowledgeable when strung together and decided to spam them to try and give himself a smarter vibe. | ||

When in reality, it just means spam move click, second nature to anyone that has ever tried to get a bunch of dragoons up a ramp. | ||

When against someone who doesn't do it you get one extra auto for or one less against when moving through a thick wave. That about sums it up. Most players even at high plat and low diamond would get way more out of mechanically executing combos better. Or positioning better. Or being in place to fight objectives more consistently. Or csing better. Or knowing lane matchups better. Or purchasing more efficient items. Or picking better synergies in their comp. Or skillshot training... or..... | ||

hes been streaming on azubu for ages and it was even restreamed live on youtube. and as a ex-dota player, i used to think apm >200 was pretty unnecessary unless playing a hero with multiple units, but in lol i dont think its the case. lol definitely requires much higher apm at the highest level and its something i noticed that was a pretty big difference between korean pros and western pros. faker does it best but bang, pray, peanut and every other top tier korean pro just have so much better movement in and out of fights than western pros, probably because their click frequency and accuracy (awareness as well) is just on a different level | ||
