really feel like nip could've done much better with a stronger mid pick

I've given up on telling him to stop bashing EU Ad Carries.

Honestly people should actually go in game and test those things before judging it too hard. While I won't agree with Genja's tear-bt-muramana-lw build, I've played a decent amount of Ashe games (~10) and I can definitely appreciate the tear which allows me to always have Q toggled on, spam volleys forever and not having to care if I will have enough mana for Arrow if I use volley here. (I'm building double Doran's + Tear into standard IE PD etc with lifesteal quints)

Pros will have their reasons for certain builds, and as long as it works and brings in results (aTn & Gambit currently #1 & #2) why question it too much.

EG vs SK, Battle for last place.

Like I said above, "lock" is probably the wrong word to use here. NiP can bench Deficio for another Dane but not for an entirely new Support. :3

How does nationality play into this? Looks like I missed something last time I read info about how rosters work.

Alternate's play makes me really appreciate champs like Lissandra and Hecarim, if only because of how they can force brutal teamfights with their initiation. Though maybe I should blame it on EU/NA relying a bunch on Varus for their own hard engages. :3

I'm with you.

There are situations where I cringe and cannot accept (Double's Omen buy against double/triple(?) AP) but for the most part, Creaton's Ez build and Genja's Ashe build makes sense and the pros make it work. Your average joe probably can't make it work and it most certainly work in solo q.

Nationality doesn't matter. I say "Dane(s)" because NiP's old roster and current sub are all Danish. But basically LCS rules prevents you from entirely replacing the # of players on your roster and you have 3 max subs. I don't know the exact rules but afaik, benching TheTess, Sven and GodBro means NiP can't replace anyone else of the old active roster.

I guess at a glance it's easier to blame a weird item build for a loss than looking deeper. A lot of the disdain for the "cancer" build I feel comes from times where it didn't work at all. I think it was Tabbzz actually that went it once or twice and did horribly with it. Creaton is the only one I've actually seen make it work out.

The ADC being terrible comments becomes a problem because it turns into a hyperbole. I still believe it's their weakest role, but often times that evolves into "god EU ADCs are trash and shouldn't even be in the LCS"
