And......Why

This video aged like milk wow

I think something cool to see in the future is “why no one plays x role” or “why no one likes x role”. Examples would be “why no one plays support”, highlighting how a lot of players don’t enjoy being the playmakers who get no credit. Another might be “why no one likes adc” and highlighting how players dislike being so heavily reliant on unreliable teammates and the fact that even a super fed adc must be hand held all the way until the game ends or else they’ll just get 1v1 by the 0/10 Yasuo and then proceed to lose the game bc the Yasuo got a 1k bounty and now facerolls to win. Actually, I think this is pretty much why botlane (support and adc) see relatively lower play rate than top, mid, and even jungle. Botlaners are highly dependent on their teammates, which makes it really frustrating when you lose or win based on your teammates’ performances regardless of your own sometimes. There are plenty of times where I’ve won the early game and then immediately got destroyed by their super fed mid/top/jungle, then lose the game. There are far fewer times where the roles were reversed (me winning lane then beating the other winning lanes), and it tends to only happen in super specific counter matchups (botlane is lulu/vayne, while teammates are tanks/have cc, and the enemy Renekton got fed, for example). I think it’s this reliance on teammates that makes botlane a less fun experience especially in solo queue. Maybe I’m biased as a bot lane player but I think those could make interesting analysis videos in the future, if you’re interested in expanding beyond analyzing specific champions.

I play blind. I learned every role and now I fill, even when some idiot botches lane call I snag smite or heal and play the role. I get flamed sometimes and some combos do not work, but for the most part it's all about getting the job done. Samira/ Vayne jg is slow to start but ganks op. Xayah mid/top is insane because no anime protagonist expects the roots and r is a get out of gank free card. Vlad support is weak late game (get that sup item, he's expensive), but his e and w slows and deaggros turret for those pesky adcs to get that kill (also, anyone ganking a Vlad sup is asking to feed). It's about understanding the role and how to get your champ to do it. That's why Swain sup is the OP sup that's not a sup. Play him as a root/grab for the adc and predict for that sweet w kill. That's why Eve laning is amazing... enemy is too afraid to farm, you're always ready to one shot, she melts turrets with Rabadon's and tp/ganking is a nightmare for your opponents. That's why Rakan mid is so weirdly satisfying. It's going off meta, thinking outside the box, but making some unconventional clutch plays because you know what you need to do. So you do it regardless of who/where you're playing.

I find it laughable when people say Renekton falls off late game, considering how 1 sided his laning can be

Can't wait for the top croc video! Keep up the great content!~

Riot completely killed my boy renekton

This video is truth! Something I always keep in mind with Renekton is he one of the strongest early game lane bullys hands down. What that means is, it is on the Ren player to capitalize if he wants to do well. You must punish every mistake, draw attention wisely, take heralds, invade jung, outplay, and snowball hard. Which is precisely why he's seen less in high elo. At that level of play you don't see as many blunders taking place at low elo. As more people have a good understanding on how to farm safely until power spikes and stay relevant until Ren falls off. If he's not getting solo kills in the early game it becomes very difficult to start matching his opponents power spikes in the mid game.

Dude's my 1 trick and I LOVE him. Absolute insane champion lol, the work pays off, he's simple enough to just pick back up after a hiatus, and he can carry the fuck out of games Easily one of my favorite champions in the game

Warwick was the first champ I ever bought when I first started playing. But Renekton was who carried me out of bronze and into gold. Since then, I've always kept him as my main. I think I started in S2, and picked him up at the end when I felt top WW was too inconsistent. Only got Renekton because I had literally never seen anyone play him and he was one of the 6300 IP champs so figured he was good, and he looked awesome. Best choice I ever made I say. Did make me sad to see so many other people start to play him as time progressed though. Kinda liked being in the minority. Even more saddened by the fact I can't just pick him so easily for a win now. Hw feels weak in the current meta. Even getting fed doesn't help

man I used to be a Renekton feeder because my play skill is so bad but lately I just discover that Renekton wasn't a farm champ but he's lane bully and this support my theory Thank you Mr. Vars

so 1 year ago everyone played renekton now no one plays renekton and if they do they hard lose the game Renekton from top tier pick to dumpster pick in less than 1 year
