A lot of traditional sports rules changes have a player safety aspect to them, balance does not. TBH, they don't really have a say on competitive rules. Just on stupid rules like what happens if a player gets arrested/PEDs. The NFL, for instance, changed the catch and kickoff rules just with 2/3 Owner votes after the "competition committee" (composed entirely of owners) recommended them. That IS a group that is worth consulting. Not players, but owners. | ||

Fucking. What? tl;dw - Starting roster: Licorice/Sven/Goldenglue/Keith/Zeyzal, Jensen/Sneaky/Smoothie moved to Academy. Hold on, lemme check the date. I think I might be time traveling. | ||

Given the current state of the meta, maybe they're just planning on playing Taric/Yi or Nunu/Karthus or some other silly combination. That way, they can relegate goldenglue to Support #2 and don't have to worry about him being required to be actually useful. Plus, they may want to play Lulu/Vlad in the ADC role and maybe Sneaky isn't decent on those? IDK, seems troll but who knows. Could also be relegation for breaking team rules or something; not uncommon for teams to think like that. | ||

If you’re going for that sort of comp, why not let mid play bot with the “ADC” while going for a snowballs champ like Brand/Zyra/etc.? Hell, you could have mid go bot and play Vlad and plus the ADC to support. Just seems like there’s better ways to commit to a snowball comp than we’re currently seeing in pro meta (other than a slight blip with SKT flopping Faker and Bang). What exactly is your proposal? There's no real benefit to roleswaps that screw up bot lane synergy | ||

There's no real benefit to roleswaps that screw up bot lane synergy Right now in a meta with numerous picks that can be flexed between 3-4 roles where it’s important to have pushing lanes (to gain scuttle XP advantage and jungle pressure). Losing bot lane synergy may hurt, but you gain potential for great pressure in a snowball heavy format. Most supports don’t play mages well, most midlaner talents are wasted on playing Taric/Braum. If you’re going to play duo support and filter gold/XP on the jungler in order to snowball early, then it makes more sense to me to practice role swapping. To have support practice Taric/Braum mid and to have mid practice Brand/Zyra/Velkoz in bot. The meta pretty heavily favors snowballing right now and 8.12 doesn’t seem to change that. I personally don’t expect that to change much until maybe closer to worlds. Historically they seem to aim for worlds games to last about 30-40 minutes usually. Gaining favorable lanes is super important right now; there’s every reason to work on finding ways to pressure lanes even more. | ||

Pretty much confirms that it was due to their attitude and slacking off, which Reapered said would lead to them not making playoffs if they stuck with them. So even if GoldenGlue/Keith/Zeyzal are much worse players on paper, you still need to punish Jensen/Sneaky/Smoothie for clowning around, even if that means you lose games doing that, otherwise you send the message that it is okay to not take their job seriously. Might motivate their asses to actually try hard if they start with a big game deficit this split, at least if they still want to make Worlds. Also, I wonder how Svenskeren feels now that the C9 fans have turned on C9 and started flaming the org (and even him) after game 1 on their subreddit and social media. He was all happy last split about being with C9 and praising the C9 fanbase for not being toxic towards him and passive-aggressively flaming TSM but I hope that he realizes now that sports/esports fans at large will turn on you on an instant the moment you lose or make a mistake and its not just restricted to TSM, no matter what Reddit/Twitter says... | ||
