Yasuo gives you teamfight and 1v5 potential, Orianna for safety and another good team fight champion. watch Dade play Yasuo, then watch Voyboy play Yasuo, considered a signature champion for both yet all the little things Dade does takes it to a completely different level. Hai is known for his hard work and dedication, I'm not really sure how he could get better at laning without going full Heart. tl;dr fixed easily is a REALLY big stretch | ||

I can only imagine how depressing it is to watch your midlaner go 1-10-1 in a competitive match while you're trying to at least hold your own and do what you can. And afterwards I would guess that there are many "what if's" stuck in the other members' heads. "What if mid had been able to hold"... I feel bad for Sneaky in particular. Don't think they feel that bad when they know he carries them in other aspects. | ||

Yasuo has a very high skill ceiling, so maybe not the absolute best pick there from me (I'm just used to seeing Korean-level Yasuos literally 1v5 the enemy team). And I say "fixed easily" because his other weakness (poor positioning) is something that takes a LOT longer to fix. | ||

It is always said that Hai can feed because he "does the shotcalling", but if you take game 2 for example you can clearly see that he single handedly put the game out of reach for C9. From the very start up until the very end he was continuously feeding AND making terrible moves which were obviously part of his "shotcalling" plan. Edit : That being said I'm not implying that C9 should drop Hai, I just think that he was right when he put the blame on himself in his interview. | ||

Idk it'd make him more stable in laning but might hurt how they like to play out the map I get the idea of using high waveclear champions to remedy the problem, but Hai stays in a lot of game gold wise by roaming once he can no longer handle the opposing mid, something that is actually pretty natural to assassins. mabye TF would be a good hero for him but being a good TF isn't just like something everyone can do, because if it was a matter of choice I'm pretty sure every mid would be a good TF | ||

TF is just a very boom/bust champion, as he needs items (mainly Zhonyas) to be semi-relevant in team fights. | ||

Kennen was absolute Hai's champion, i still smhing over why doesn't he play Jayce again. And his TF, uh. Better to play Orianna. | ||

Honestly, you probably wouldn't find a single pro player who didn't wish he was good at more champions. But with limited practice time, you have to make a choice of how many champs you want to be good at vs. how good you want to be on each one, and each team is comfortable with a particular balance in this with regard to how they draft--flexibility vs. strength in their comfort zone. | ||

And still, only European teams and Kabum are smart enough to ban it. Gosh, everyone says same thing about Wickd for 3 years, since his stint with Snoopeh in SK, and for 3 years, Wickd is still top-2 Western toplaner. Toplane is absolute trash for any region but Korea, same with jungle and supports. Until other regions can develop those guys, not midlaners and competent ad carries, Korea will stomp. | ||
