Like seeing crisp running around as a lvl 4 heimer dying to everything had me wondering if I had entered an alternate dimension but when you explain how bard was roaming and they couldn't punish aphelios because jungle was top forcing crisp to roam it makes a lot more sense and is super informative.

This T1 champ pool reminds me of the year Wings Gaming won the International in DotA2. Literally impossible to draft against, there's a famous meme image of PPD, the captain of the opposing team in the finals holding up a bunch of papers trying to analyse Wings' Champion pool, and then putting his head in his hands in despair when he realises it's impossible. Wings played 20 unique champs in their series. Edit: it was 22 Unique Champs in a 5 game series.

Not taking away LS's skills as an analyst, LS does have some biased takes but it is with the intent that LS wants to show some ideas that may work on paper IF these ideas have the perfect conditions to allow it. Draft-wise and gameplay-wise, I think LS is okay. Caedrel, on the other hand, bases his takes on general pro-play knowledge and what he knows so far with the current game states that makes his predictions ever-so-slightly more accurate (if not straight out, because it's actually INSANE) than LS's. My point is, LS and Caedrel are both good analysts but both must be taken into the context they excel at, with Caedrel being slightly more well-rounded given that he has background at both being a pro-player and an actual analyst while LS has a good reputation of being an actual LCK coach (and an almost potential T1 coach) which is already impressive as LCK remains to be one of the strongest and most competitive LoL major regions in the world

5:40 I Think this is the problem with how people draft. This is extremely result oriented. If you watch the game, you realize that the range support is NOT the win condition at all, it's actually the opposite. The botlane is making them struggle, and the reason the support doesn't work out is both because the support players were not playing well AND because top/jgl of t1 have been destroying the tournament. We saw it during t1 jdg and t1 vs lng, ashe support either lost or almost lost. People need to stop being result oriented and watch the actual game The other problem with all you are saying is that it's focused like 90% on match ups. Lol is a game where if you're a tiny bit better than your opponent, it will impact greatly the game. The ban rakkan is a pure target ban against missing (90% winrate, 80% pick rate). Rumble on 269 was the same, forcing missing on alistar was the same: Not being result oriented but realizing that missing in LPL was super bad on alistar. He was also super bad during t1 jdg.
