yes he was reason for the first jax nerf in beta, etc, etc. But he doesn't play it in competitive. Anyway i'm gonna stop replying to you and when kayle gets played I expect you to ask for a self-ban.

Jax wasn't that competitive of that pick until late last split and starting this split.... pretty sure he brushed up on the highest toplane ban rate champ enough.

who has the bigger jungler pool I wonder?

I also watch EU LCS, it's pretty clear amazing can only lee. Sry shouldnt've namedropped, no I don't watch his scrims. I know he picks up new junglers very fast and is open to trying out new things. But I've also been around enough to know every jungler has their biases, he didn't think xin was strong prenerf xin until around the time everyone else thought so, then he thought xin was the strongest when that was never true.

Right now I don't think khazix is strong at all but he still gets picked/banned. It'll take time before this "meta" gets broken, but probably just 1-2 weeks. Either way I'm confident TSM made the best decision at the time in taking shyv. Monte is wrong, etc, etc.

Wow, I go to sleep and come back only to find people are still butt hurt over a tweet from Monte?

People like to hear his opinions on things. He gives them that. Stop trying to turn every molehill into an elephant.

When TOO was playing, did he ever get 3 targetted bans against him?

Thats blasphemy, Lord Monte doesnt have opinions, he was chosen by God to reveal the absolute truth to us mortals.

S2 maybe? But I doubt it.

Monte's comments about dig weren't too far off imo. Dig got a lot of support staff this split to help out their team. Which is most certainly a huge chunk of dig's recent success.

Dig,gg, 2 weeks down 11 to go. Crossing my fingers, knocking on wood etc etc.

Monte does what Monte does because Monte is as Monte is because Monte does what Monte does.

In other news: won all my fantasy league games this week, good to have 3+ Dig on my teams

I disagree, I'm about to make an argument that is un-provable and for that I apologize, but my hypothesis is this:

Dig never actually had bad shot calling(or at least it was = to what it is now)

What?surely he must be joking! No friends, I am not joking, I am staking this claim on the basis of options. Lets take for instance our man of the hour Amazing vs. Theoddone, we'd really like to play twitch, but twitch is bad at sieging towers so we need a jungler who can help with pick offs in order to break high ground come late game. In situation a, I have Theoddone I only have once choice because Oddone can't even semi insec, I need Vi. In situation B, I have Amazing well now I have more options I can pick Vi or Leesin, notice how the number of good calls has doubled.

Now I chose to use TSM to illustrate my point because I thought it would be more clear, but the point I am trying to make is when your solo lanes go even at best in every game you are presented with poor shot calling options. rotations are dangerous to make when the other team has a fed mid, split pushing is hard to deal with when the other teams split pusher is stronger than any 1 person on your team, it's hard to prevent deep warding when their mid can play hyper aggressive because he has 0 kill pressure on him.

lets take a look at some options.

Crumbzz: Hey guys QT is fed we should siege a tower!
Cruzer: I can come help but we'll lose top inner for it

not an option.

Crumbzz: there is freefarm top should send QT up there to get it
Scarra: I don't know where Bjergson is.

not an option.

ofc these are genaric made up scenarios, but my point is if you are behind 1:5 calls is good, and in a lot of cases that 1 has some hope based gameplay. When you are ahead 4:5 options can be good, sometimes you can do retarded shit and just bowl them over anyway. I mean Dig has almost thrown at baron twice already this season(improved shot calling lol) but held on to win the game because they were far enough ahead to persevere .

tl;dr I don't believe that Dig has improved shot calling, I just think they are ahead more often. Monte tends to downplay player skill to the point of ridiculousness.

Dignitas is in the conversation for top spot this season because their analysis was always good EXCEPT FOR THEIR BARONS. Now that they have Shiphtur and Zionspartan they aren't always playing from a deficit because of Cruzer and their mid doesn't miss an entire rotation because of Scarra (who's a good player, just not consistent, and his champ pool was like Gragas Kat Karth) and I'm pretty sure someone (Hi Vlani) told them to stop doing throw worm so often.

Dig is top 4 for me atm...
