Why Are Some Champions Useless In Pro Play?

Why’d he go from “meh-tuh” to “may-tuh”

Why in the fk do you have background gameplay thats isn't the champs your are currently talking about. Video is well edited, obviously people spent decent time making this video, why is half the gameplay not relevant. Its like lazy league ASMR I don't get it. Love the commentary, confused with video :/

Too much yapping

Tier 1? its T1... just the letter t and the number 1. where you getting Tier...?

For a lot of champions it’s simply that pros aren’t comfortable enough with them, but that the champion itself would be strong. An example of that would be the emergence of yorick post 2024. All the theoretical analyses of why he’s actually “weak” were thrown out the window when pros actually played him and suddenly the low elo stomper was shit stomping LCK tops lol.

So pros don't actually find the most effective strategy, they just go for what they think is and main that

Not every champion needs to be pro play viable. They just need to be fun.

Skill expression is important for modern LoL champions, but every champion having high skill expression also have room for fucking up the most. Not every champion should be designed for extreme skill expression because that puts the average player off of them.

24:21 That's not pro play that's me when I play Sion.

"et-chet-era" hahaha killed me

They need to add champ sets to competitive to spice it up... so maybe one day we can see Teemo

Teemo is a good pick for botlane, blinding a heavy AA champ can lead in to an absolute mess botlane, it was not once when i picked teemo support bot and whit an adc that attacks the enemy adc the result is pure tragedy for the enemy botlaner

Alot of these champs work in some niche ways and do very well
It's probably that people dont pay enough attention to strenghts of a playstyle to runes and to items

Some of these champion did see pro play in the early seasons of pro play but they've been dissected so much by teams that they either know how to deal with them, target ban them or people just don't play them because they know they can't play how they want

Teemo is so easily countered it's not even funny, just straight up sad, but it does something I think only shaco does too, fucks with the enemy team mind

Don't tell nobody, but Singed is OP

Ragebait ahh video

People don't understand teemo, he is one of the best champs to prolong the game allowing late game teams to scale but haven't seen much of this done.

Why did bro stop making videos?

i remember playing trynd mid in 2017-18, good ol days

mundo oner last worlds was a weird pick lol

Auto-W-Auto-Hydra-Q to the minion--BEAUTIFUUUL BOSS MAN!!!!

Assasins

yo poe on screen

You don't make roads for f1 drivers. But this game with millions of players is made for like 3k people around the world that spend all day playing the game for WORK
While you play soloq with strangers they play with coworkers

No hate but how is this a 26min video damn

Master yi is in pro play tho ?

ANYONE that played during 2018 still has ptsd of the Yi Taric funneling meta. this mfer should never be allowed to be pro viable ever again.

Master Yi was very popular for a long time for funneling.

what about funneling, a taric plus yi in jngl + mid, we saw this with kaisa too... you didn't mention this strategy

A-cheddar-ra??

had to click off the video after 14 seconds of the redundant and annoying typing sound

nasoose

terrible intro

They don’t perform as well in team fights as other more viable picks.

Every time you see for example Teemo or trynd or shaco in pro play Riot will immediately nerf the champ that's literally the only reason. They've done it so many times over the years to ensure the meta stays consistent.

i think the biggest reason is that many of the champions listed are the opposite of what people think.Champions like Nasus,Teemo,Tryndamere fall into categories that have obvious flaws,that soloQ players do not take advantage of.Mainly many of them need a lot of set up/slow to snowball(Nasus,teemo perfect examples of champions that when they win,they win hard),are countered easily(teemo is susceptible to ganks from assasins,Nasus is kitable with good peel) or are reliant on others if they get focused early on(Nasus is perfect example of this,when he loses lane its over so he is the perfect victim to bully from coordinated play).It all boils down to that these champions are either not self-reliant or unreliable to the team,they are more of a liability and less of an asset.Dont get me wrong,IF these champions achieve their win condition its hard to recover(you cant easily beat a Nasus that oneshots your ADC),the hard part is that their "win condition" is also their weakness and it can be exploited

Why would Teemo be useful if you have 2 players always holding sweepers to do any objectives or fights? Why would Tryndamere be useful if your team can coordinate retreats or just chain cc him properly so he gets no value? Why would Shaco be useful when your team knows how to ward or focus cc on him when he shows up? Why would Master Yi be useful when your team knows to focus him when he's cced. There are plenty of champs that can just be useful no matter what so why pick anything but them? This is why Ultimate Bravery was such a shake up. Players couldn't just spam the same 15 champs.

lol guys take this video with a grain of salt... 9:15 mark of the video he thinks a 3-2 tryndamere being 60% win rate is noteworthy... kid they played 5 games. had he won 2 it'd be 40%... winning 3 out of 5 isnt noteworthy... do you understand how numbers work? lol what an idiot

"tryndamere no gap closers" are you high? just click E

yeah just so people understand proplay its basically a whole different game that you average solo q game

12:51 youre telling me riot had to change the whole game cause of tryndamere? Lol!

And thus the explanation why Dota has better TI - equivalent to Worlds, because no single hero is not viable to use ... Even the most unreliable hero can win you the game done right ..

Pro play has champs that can co-combat with 1 or more of the teammates champs. Tryn cant do that for example

There's no goddamn "H". Doesn't matter what the justification is, it just sounds stupid. Stop.

Put simply, when people talk to each other and say things other than just slurs and death threats, champs that play well together are more relevant than 1v9 monsters. That is the essence of proplay vs high mmr solo queue: communication.

“Pro players” aka people who don’t have lives and play games all day ruin it for everyone else

Why did you leave out half the history of the esport started at 2020? Bro pro play been going since 2012

Ap master you had its glory once or twice
