Monte and DoA really dropped in quality before they stopped, to the point where the entire cast basically became a whine at SPOTV and shilling for Overwatch, I don't miss them. I'd wish Achilios would have left with them though, since he basically does the same thing.

I like Kobe but his co casters don't do it for me at all.

I'm still baffled by the overwatch shilling. It's like they want it to blow up in their faces.

Kobe and Deficio are both great. Riv word salad is always funny. Just try count the number of times he actually finishes a sentence.

Overall the level of casting in LoL is pretty low though imo, compared to say DotA2

Krepo doesn't belong in this discussion.

lol casters in general suck so, it doesn't seem like anything new. Vedius and Pastry are both awful.

Vedius doesn't deserve primetime casting spots. I thought putting him with Flowers during playins was fine, because it was amateur hour for Worlds, but there is no reason why he should be doing groups, and god forbid, bracket. I don't dislike any caster more than I dislike Vedius. I'd rather listen to LS cast again.

Vedius isn't as bad and his voice isn't as annoying as LS's, but yah he shouldn't be casting worlds.

but everyone seems to be playing Cho for the scaling ult which tbh is mediocre in. Mid-late game due to his lack of reliable cc.


Cho priority is because it allows your jungler to park bottom lane without putting the top laner behind. He's just the most stable and hard to zone laner of all the tanks

Bonus points for decent waveclear and objective control.

His alt is aiight but iirc the stone plate interaction was nerfed by the worlds patch so he's not going to be one shotting anyone and he isn't going to touch the adc with a 10 ft pole if this lulu/Janna popularity continues.

As a prediction I feel like Taric will be the contested support pick by the finals

From the current casters, I feel deficio is by far the best.

In 2014/5, when lol started for me, I was hooked by Doa/Monte, and that synergy has never been matched by another duo. Or well, let's say I never had the same feeling as I had then.

I just saw the SKT game from today. Some people may feel SKT looked shaky, but in the later parts of the game I saw some absolutely brilliant stuff. They're on a completely different level.

I think we can all agree that while the current caster analyst pool is dlrelatively deep, there are few (1?) Play by play guys who are at the Jatt-Kobe-Deficio level.

I watched DoA cast since he was with moletrap and it took him awhile to get to form. Maybe captain flowers will one day reach those heights.

I am sad to admit I turned off the stream at 5 AM to sleep, thinking "this is going to be a repeat of LCK finals, sigh".
I woke up today pleasantly surprised. I won't doubt anymore for the rest of Worlds.

I really don't give two shits about analysis. They should and do cater their analysis downwards. So I love Rivington and Kobe. They are masters of hype. Captain Flowers is coming along on that front.

THEY DID IT. THEY FFFFF...GODDAMN DID IT. I NEVER DOUBTED THEM.

Yea I agree it took Doa a long while to get good. But he showed the ability to improve, which honestly feels really rare among casters lol

Kobe, Rivington, Raz, Deficio, Atlus, Valdes.
Doa before S6, Monte before S5, Joe Miller.

idr Raz, Atlus, Valdes. I'll try to pay attention to them if they're casting at Worlds.

I unironically like Quikshot when he's paired with Deficio

I like Quickshot as long as he's with somebody that can keep him from doing color. Once he has to try and cover for other people, it's all downhill.

They were both pretty unhappy with the way Riot treated them, so I can understand them. They will always remain my favourite casters, they made up 50% of the entertainment of the LCK/OGN, the rest was watching good teams duke it out. I particularly liked Monte because I disagreed with his opinions of the game, but knew that his stance was backed by analysis of the game and research of the scene.

Yea I agree it took Doa a long while to get good. But he showed the ability to improve, which honestly feels really rare among casters lol


When did you start watching? I began watching LoL in 2012, and I loved Doa from the start, he is the perfect counterpart to Monte. Honestly interested, I can't remember him changing much, I never paid much attention to caster progression.
