That whole lane swap break down was just Monte being in his element, Dom having Vietnam flashbacks from playing it for so many years and Dgon was just snacking living his best life 😂
It was just the greatest knowledge flex going down and I'm with dgon eating chips and nodding like I understand 🤣
Yes I know Monte said it would be boring for people not him but as someone who loves these kinda of passionate long form deep dives if Monte ever wanted to do a whole video on the history of the Laneswap with clips of its various iterations I would absolutely watch!!
I loved how passionate dGon was about his interview.
It was awesome, I feel like the 'general audience' had a massive overreaction to the interview and Dgon wants to give them a perspective check.
Loud doesnt mean passionate.
That said, i think it was passionate.
@@riseagainstthemachine6079 well, Dgon usually doesn't get very loud
For reaaaallllll. Good for him 😤😤
You know some bad shit happened when dgon has to pop off xD
But to be honest my only issue with the Inspired interview was that he didn’t flame bwipo more then Jensen ?
Like I’m sorry but when bwipo gets gapped in lane every game while heavily counter picking then I just don’t know what to say.
got the dGon shoutout it's unlosable (already was)
goat org
@@Perioro
@@G2LoLplease don’t give me a heart attack this weekend
@@Upgraderednight yeah of all the things we can promise that ain't one of them
Dgon's first taste of cynicism around 2 of the most jaded esports folks is *chefs kiss*
Love dgon's rant. Never seen him THIS passionate before. He truly will go down as one of the greats imo.
Monte is 100% right about doublelift. He does the same exact thing on the costreams with Meteos and Sneaky
Spot on Monte. Doublelift isn’t a liar or deceptive, the hamster on a wheel in his head just cannot keep up.
LETSGO DGON SPEAK YOUR TRUTH!!! Always great to listen to DGon rants, hopefully there's many more
There wasn’t anything wrong with what inspired said. Everyone just overreacting looking for something to be mad at.
@@soybacon8215 I'm not sure that I agree with you, but it is his opinion and that is what interviews are for! I'm sure we would get an entirely different view if we had jensen instead, or Massu, or Busio, or the coach, or the opposite team, or any analyst. His views are obviously biased and centered around himself, and maybe that makes sense as a jungler, maybe not.
I think this whole thing is weird. Maybe it's the way he gets his message across. I personally have no problems with what he said, but he does seem to have a blind spot for Bwipo, the drafting, and his own play (at least in this interview), which is human and normal. If the team can take it, and point out things he did wrong too, then the team will just be better for it.
He was right - The issue he was saying it in an interview very publicly.... which is what pissed people off.
I would love a complete history of laneswaps, Monte!
Seconded
Although DL was wrong about T1 using this strat at worlds they did use it at MSI 2023 i went back and checked as i barely remembered it in my head.
That wasn't a lane swap. It was a Sion cheese.
@@cristianasoltanei7848 Yeah the swap was different but the macro around the 2ppl jung collapse bot was the same.
I believe they also used the Sion cheese at worlds 2022. But ofc DL thinks it's a lane swap
You guys are killing it. Not all of us in the States are emotionally challenged and fragile. Some of us did team sports growing up and know what it's like to be in a team and competitive environment. It's honestly sad that people get so outraged on others behalf, especially when they don't know if Jensen is even offended or not. What the hell is wrong with ppl.
Jensen is european, specifically danish. As a fellow dane, we are culturally known to come off as quite blunt. Knowing his past as well, id be very surprised if he felt offended.
@@Nikolai-pf1dmespecially with his past 😂😂 I even heard of more stories from a guy I played wow with for a long time. He played with mithy and Jensen in a team in season 1 or 2. I even saw vids and Screenshots as proof. Damn you wouldn't believe 😂😂
dgon (who actually worked in cybersecurity) saying it is actually a big deal, should be the only opinion that gets any attention IMO.
Was he a security guard at the cybersecurity company?
@@joaovieira4785 doesn’t seem like it given how he speaks about the situation
@@bombpopsicles5890 have you heard him speak? Clearly not the brightest guy, wtf was he doing in a cybersecurity company? lmao
@@joaovieira4785If you think that someone's ability to verbalize things is indicative of their overall intelligence then you are not the brightest guy.
I mean I get that the LCK studio went down etc, but what does that have to do with them not being able to scrim/play the game when Faker literally said they had been able to?
That was a legendary Dgon rant. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him so animated about something that wasn’t Contractz before.
You forgot Deftly. He was both animated and delusional that was even better.
great episode, loved dGon's rant and the visualization of lane swaps and invades with the discussion around it.
hearing monte and dom talk about the lane swap actually makes me believe monte more. I was thinking they just wait 5 but yah idk
I actually like having fixed lanes... otherwise we would be dota (dead game) xdd
Dgon super pumped and passionate for that interview part holyy
dgon with both the "throwing his teammate under the bed" and "sour lemons" instead of sour grapes is pretty funny
I know monte loves the strategic complexity of laneswaps but I was there for the lane swap meta that shit was horrendously boring to watch 🤣let’s not revisionist about it I hope it never comes back full force
I remember making the decision to stop watching LCS during lane swap meta bc of how snooze it was 😂
I really enjoyed the lane swap breakdown and bringing back all the older ideas and thoughts, it was fun. The extra fun part of it was watching Dgons brain melt like he was in a physics lecture lmao.
I am definitely of the opinion that if they fully knew about it they would of devised a plan that wouldnt of been hard countered if G2 played their side of it better, like Monte said if G2 walked in and warded during the bot invade which normally is what happens than the stack completely falls apart and a swap still happensd. I am guessing they did what they did solely because they were worried about a sion cheese on the red and the swap wasnt the reason.
Of course that is just my opinion and it is an interesting discussion either way.
Loved the lane swaps segment going over what could have happened! Still of the opinion that BDS didnt know, but I am not 100% on this. Not a lot of people going over this type of stuff on talkshows, but this is really helpful in understanding what is going on.
Let's be clear, Monte is saying just that maybe a scrim partner of G2 said to someone on BDS something like "oh, wow, it was crazy, G2 did a lane swap with Sion, they totally cooked us", in idle conversation or something. Totally innocuous. Merely that they knew ahead of time, not that any malice was present.
@@najawin8348 He very publicly said that it was malicious and that teams colluded with BDS because they couldn't beat G2 in scrims. That is his tweet. He then backpedalled since then saying "Oh it could be something Innocuous" after he publicly said they were cheating to take down G2.
dgon i must say youve gotten so much better at this! way to go buddy!
Just starting the episode and Dgon's intro shows how he is a top tier, class act, truly professional content creator. Thank you LFN
Dota Pos 1 and 3 I feel would swap relatively often, let alone Pos 4 commonly roaming lanes like what we think a good fasting Senna can possibly do, happy to see more lane variation
This just really makes me want to see a Bo5 series played between 2 mechanically equal teams coached by LS and Monte respectively lmao
Appreciate the analysis on the lane swap. It has been a fucking minute 🔥
Fire episode as always. Love LFN
I cant wait to see if they gonna show monte's sign on lck broadcast 🤣
Ouuh, DGON mad, not common, I like. Glad to witness this side of him, explains a lot about his position in LFN. Great content, as always. GOOD SHIT BOIS
they are pretty much saying DL has ADC brain.. Cant think for himself needs a little "support" if you will
Truly the most adc of all time
@Monte I’m not sure on the potential viewership so it may not be worth your time but I would love an in depth documentary on the history of the lane swap. Iv watched league since the end of 2012 and would love someone way smarter than me to analyse the difference in the lane swap metas and how it evolved over time
Do we really want lane swaps back? Just devolves into tank top tank jungle and hyper carry adc. Not much interaction for first 15 mins. Teams would just go through the flow chart
Amen dgon. My thoughts exactly on the interview. Keep it up
Damn! Dgon rant was fire. Thank you.
keep doing the interviews dgon they are great
I didn't know a team with an average placing of 2nd for the past 2-3 years is considered a meta dependent team. I think when it comes to narratives in the LCK, T1 are more like the team that can look the most vulnerable but they always somehow manage to pull through when the going gets tough. Despite this claim, they somehow still end up being the biggest international threat regardless of Gen G's consistency.
Dom thinks Doublelift, a guy who publicly admitted to 10s of thousands of people live and hundreds of thousands of viewers later that he, as a 30 year old rich man, eats food out of the trash can, has the forethought to actively lie about something like this LOL
This Dgon rant in the beginning was kinda goated, tell em dgon, they really can't handle the truth!
I will say, I wish Inspired gave more opinion on Bwipo in the finals. I felt like he barely referred to him playing badly when he went very in depth on Jensen. It seemed like Bwipo got mega gapped by Impact but maybe he felt differently and would be interesting to hear.
Wonder what the Hanwa boys are gonna say after T1 wins
Monte, here's a dare, since you're attending the LCK finals, if ever T1 reach finals you should bring the SKT hype train cap and the wooden train whistle.
Props to Dgon.
Faker doesn’t even know who Dom is
Lowkey sus maybe T1 fans become BDS fans at midnight
THIS IS THE GREATEST DGON COOKING IVE EVER SEEN HOLY GO INN
That Inspired interview was prob one of the best one due to it being so raw and Inspired being himself and not simply giving PR takes.
Truck meta was so OP
1:10:00 there shouldn't be any way to get the IP address of the other players in a game. The star architecture of a game like League should clearly stop any ability to get IP addresses. Point to point communication (like skype) does share your IP, but a game with a central server shouldn't provide any way to get someone's IP address.
I won’t lie it was hilarious to see all the T1 and BDS fanboys come in live chat to argue with everyone today, keep up the great content you three
French fans+ t1 =cancer of humanity
idk lane swap is just a sightseeing sion in botlane, daaayum nice info
The inspired interview he also said jensen just wasn't used to having good teammates, so he doesn't go in like he needs to. is that really flame?
Don't let this discourage you, dGon
That dGon rant was epic.
I would be down for a deep dive video into the history of lane swaps. Admittedly I found it kinda boring to watch at the time, so I've forgotten a lot about the intricacies of it. But it's fascinating to see them potentially returning after so long.
I mean we saw middle eastern and Asian investments in actual sports, and it did improve the quality because people got paid better. No body is agreeing with any governments’ controversial decisions, wether eastern or western, if you wanna look at Saudi Arabia, look also at Israel and the USA, but Monte’s take has a racist undertone there that cannot be explained by “I care about the quality” argument. There is a huge player base in the Middle East and Riot knows this very damn well. It’s about time.
There was not a problem with the inspired interview being posted, he takes ownership over the statements he makes in his interviews and if he says something that is criticizable that is purely on him. This is why on sports team that have media coverage, there is an effort that is made so that the players are media trained. The problem I have with him making those statements is more that it is in a public setting. Sure he can make those comments in the privacy of a team environment and it would be fine. However, bringing that into a public setting is a completely different issue. He brings unnecessary heat onto the team, and especially the player that he is criticizing. Now there is additional pressure put onto the team from the outside on issues that were in house. Whether that is his personality to make those statements does not matter in respect to comments about his own teammates impacting his own team environment. Talking trash about other teams functions differently in that it can put pressure on other teams as well as his own, so generally that is more okay to do. That being said, for me as a viewer those kinds of comments makes the league more entertaining to watch, especially every flyquest game; however, if i was his teammate or coach, I would be extremely upset.
Exactly my toughts at well. Airing this to the public at best does nothing and at worse creates a bad narrative around him and his teamate. Being critical is a great quality as a competitor and teamate but keep that shit indoors.
The word we are looking for is permutations. Permeations is not what you are looking for.
Dgon rant felt a bit cringe imo but nice to see him filled with passion
dGon seems like the dude who has a lot of friends but all the friends hate each other
Isn't Adam's in game conduct and actually typing and pressing enter asking if he can forfeit into all chat in game 3 break the rules and can result in him getting a fine?
And it's like whoa. If you give people time and incentive to experiment they can actually figure stuff out in your spaghetti ass game and counter other strategies. Double hail of blades ADC lanes kind of too abusive? Lane swaps.
No it cant because there is not inherently an issue with it.
Yeah and then Riot will do what they did before and make Lane Swaps impossible to play because they really dont like them.
@@PeoplePleaser578I hate lane swaps myself but riot really reallly needs to make double AD horrible
Dgon goated episode brother
I think it’s a little more simple , Doublelift probably got years of SKT MIXED UP , he probably thought they did it last year but it was way longer than that , cuz everything seems like yesterday to him . Does that make sense ? I’m also just speculating here , going off of Monte’s take
For me its just a 5 Stack cause they wanted to scout with the security of being stronger 5v5 then thez just saw each other bz chance at red could have been somewhere else too
Rookie is the Spider-Man of League of Legends. If you know, you know.
Great Richard Sherman comp by monte. Americans were so horribly offended by a little bit of competitive fire 💀
Glad the Seahawks went on to shitstomp the superbowl, much to the national medias chagrin
Dom first makes Faker apologise and now he denies Jensen feeling offended, he is a typical emotional abuser.
xdd
Monte's reaction when Dgon was kinda kinda going nuts at around 22 min reminds me of when DJ Khaled was like, "we save the world bro" and trying to be honest about it and his friend is like trying so hard not to laugh at his extremely bad overreaction lol th-cam.com/users/shortsR_7YB1Jt6ZM
LETS GO DGON GO OFF
Dom trying to follow the DL mental gymnastics is hilarious. Dont do it brother you cant win against dumb people in hordes.
At least Dgon is defending someone who is actually a good player this time.
dGon bud its "Permutations" not "Permeations". Met you at worlds 2022 Monte, ur a real mf. That is all.
People are too sensitive nowadays. DGON did an amazing job with that interview and yet we get babies on the internet who don’t know how to use their brain and understand good intentions and such.
When i first saw montes tweet i to was thinking he was delusional but after hearing hes reasoning it makes more sense now thats why you wait for an explainationit before you flame the monte g cristo
dgon speaking facts. I will die preaching that people are way too sensitive
Thank god Rookie has won a world championship at least because if he didnt itd be so sad.
The funniest thing about this monte situation is he tries to paint the picture like adam just went crazy on him for no reason. When his initial tweet basically accused BDS of cheating vs G2 which is a very serious thing to even say. Then when adam responded we didnt we looked at NIP vs FPX. monte doesnt even apologize, take responsibility for his poor wording, or even try to correct it, instead says " you right considering how shit you played it." Like what kind of response is that after such a irresponsible tweet with no evidence. In life watch how a person act when they are wrong and it tells you alot about them
He didn't accused bds of cheating
He didn't say" i think bds asked some players if they can share some info about g2 in scrims" that would be accusing bds of cheating, which btw everyone does leak scrims. i don't even think that cheating btw
Also still that doesn't mean adam should fucking respond like a butthurt 12 year old, hes fucking 21 or 22,can't he respond like an adult? Maybe it's too much to ask lol
"then when adama responded we didn't we looked at fpx vs nip"
First of all, so now pros can't lie? Secondly, that doesn't prove that monte is wrong cuz as he said on a podcast that laneswap thing could be just know by labrov that's it.
Yeah, monte responded rudely cuz adam was rude to him first, apparently only pro players are allowed to be rude.
@@KarimMisino the wording he used and the way alot of people took that sentence implied "bds had to have cheat because they reacted to it very well" Even if he didn't intend for it to be presented that way, that's what people took. This is shown as the Twitter discussion went from lane swap ( which monte wanted) to how did BDS know/ did scrims get leak. This shows his post was worded badly.
Now if your adam why would you give someone respect if they accusing you of cheating. Also you acting shock a 21 old is acting like this when thorfin and even dom both have responded way worst (ie thorfin vs nuk) real adult behavior there lol.
You right players can lie but monte didn't even address that point he immediately went into saying "he played shit" as a response lol I actually don't know why you bought his point up it's irrelevant to the subject at hand.
When did I say only pro's can be rude? If you are rude first you shouldn't be surprised when someone respond in a rude manner. I personally just hate when people try to play the victim when they started it.
Overall monte poor wording lead to rude Adam response which led to rude monte response.
I can simultaneously agree Adam is a very immature player like the upset situation the benching not long ago and agree hes response to Monte is justified you accused hes team of cheating like okay you used the word I think who gives a fuck you get the response you put out provide evidence or just soil a teams reputation then a member of the team claps back at your reputation you get all butt hurt like omg hes rude.
@@sterryd121 again, he didn't accused bds of cheating cuz he didn't say that bds player or staff asked to other teams leak. He didn't present that as fact but just as his opinion
monte was just speculating, adam didn't need to respond like a butthurt kid.
Thorin wasn't rude at nuc lol
Nuc was rude to him at first.
Wdym he doesn't address adam point? monte in his first response to adam literally said " u might be right" he literally said that he could be right lol. Ofc monte response was rude cuz again adam started first.
"if u are rude first u shouldn't be surprised if someone responded in rude manner" i agree with u on this one, that's why monte "rude" response to adam was fair.
I can agree with u on the monte woording poorly the tweet but still that doesn't justified the adam response cuz again not only he's fucking 21 years old but also monte didn't accused the bds player directly of the leak scrims.
Teach 'em a lesson boys
54:03 it's not that complicated. I think Dom is most likely right in that the teams just watched the NIP vs FPX games.
And Monte just doesn't want to admit that he was wrong bc he's just a condescending "know it all" with a huge ego.
I think what Dgon dont understand is, the way that upset everyone about Inspired interview is not how he is candid and straight to the point. What upset people is the dude is try to looks good by saying i could of do this or that then instantly follow it up with a but Jensen mess this up btw. You can see if someone is owning his own mistake, or he is just pretending by keep coming up with excuses right after, like oh "i could be less vegan there" when he already establish that he think Jensen flash late or "i mess up early game" when he point out that Jensen play the team fight bad.
For me he is just using Jensen as a scapegoat knowing that if he talk about his bot, people would think he bully the rookies and if he blame top, bwipo would not shy away to react his comment with the public which he might makes him looks worst.
I fully agree with dGon, he spoke truly. However, I would like to challenge dGon, the Powerspike lads, and EVERYONE'S perception of the 'fan reaction.' A subsection of TH-cam & Reddit commenters does not fully encapsulate the sentiment of all fans. These reactions were the most vocal perhaps, easily shared and reverberated. But it also comes in the context of anonymous posts, and the people writing them could be very biased or uninformed. We NEEDED to hear dGon go off about "you cant handle the truth," that was absolutely spot on. But I simply want to remind everyone that this 'you,' is a subset of the entire viewership, and there's a lot of supporters and mature people out there who can watch that Inspired interview and understand the context and the importance. Please don't over-validate the individual perspectives that have inflammatory, virtue-signaling reactions. Please keep going because the viewership is greater than these responses. Monte actually said it best, "You can't let the idiots win." Thank you for your content and passion guys. Carry on!!
The smallest minority are usually the ones who are the loudest, at least in this kind of context. And the backlash from even the smallest subset of the community could have ramifications for the rest of us. Ergo, dgon saying players or teams in general may be more timid to speak so honestly and completely raw because of this is probably more likely. It sucks. X.X I loved the interview tho and people need to remember the kind of person Jensen used to be before pro play. Man was one of the most toxic people in the servers. XD he can definitely take the CONSTRUCTIVE criticism from his teammate who very likely know how his coworkers would react more than these Twitter and reddit keyboard warriors who are once again. Upset FOR them. 😂
Dgon such a chad.
DGon the goat
Doublelift is known to have an unreliable memory lol
fuuuuuuuu these takes were horrible(inspired take and doublelift insults and lane swap), might be drinking your own koolaid but i enjoyed the episode
Imagine if BLG has 369 to play weak side, this team might be better than 2023JDG
Nah. 369 does not want to play weakside. Also if Bin gets back into form, this team is better than 2023 JDG arguably.
Disappointing how little talk there is of LPL.
Fans must be drama queens for thinking inspired is flaming Jensen. Jensen is still collecting checks when he's still not in form and barely serviceable. Barely serviceable meaning he is underperforming from his peak and at least not entirely running it down. Inspired just saying most of the team underperformed is pretty on point.
Sure, Inspired was giving his opinion, but he should save criticism of teammates for the team environment. Criticizing teammates in public is so bad. If you want people to not think of players as entitled, they need to start acting a bit like TO of all people. th-cam.com/video/CL2Vm7JBp4I/w-d-xo.html
This gonna be a salt filled episode for sure.
The fact that the one person who worked with cyber security is telling you that DDoSing is a serious issue, but the two other dummies have no idea how it works is crazy. DDos is very hard to track especially when it’s at a large scale like this and those risking it are knowledgeable enough to make sure they don’t get caught. The hackers that demanded money or releasing video games weren’t caught so what makes you think they would catch the people DDosing at this level? When you can’t practice new things versus other teams that can because they aren’t famous enough on the level of T1, it’s a drag. But if a person who has been the face of the league and never complained until now, give the guy a break.
Don't take them seriously my guy. Listening to them is a waste of time 😂. They are just taking your attention.
@@Forsaken76823its a waste of time, yet u Are here listening😂 also the ddos didnt only affect t1, allegedly also gen g got hit by the ddos yet They still played well
@@recinius4869 do your research only t1 getting targeted by that ddos now gen g players were affected when facing t1 players
@@kaysaiah3000 iirc monte said gen g was affected aswell. And he is friends with gen g arnold, the ceo. I think ill belive that over whatever some random in the TH-cam comments
League of legends community has thinned out to ill terminally online people and OG people that love the game. No in between casuals I guess.
I really hate the trend of just attacking people personally over video game drama. So what someone is wrong about something? "This guy is so fucking dumb, here's proof of how dumb he is, his girlfriend is also fucking dumb, lets brigade". I know this will be a mega unpopular opinion, but the esports scene being infested with people who try to make everything some major political statement ruin the innocence of what makes gaming fun. This is on both sides, I can only say I've watched the Dlift segment here and it seems like they are just airing their personal hatred, but if dlift rebuttes or has counter opinions I also loathe that. Immaturity in every angle and that is all it is. No respect for disagreements anymore, just back and forth hatred
Yeah everyone is so childish, they just sit in wait for someone to scold and then fervently attack them in the most unscrupulous manner possible. Nothing anyone ever did or said is even discussed, the phrase "I always knew they were a piece of shit" gets thrown around like candy in reddit threads and everything you do is somehow "proof" of what you are being accused of. Its just absurd at this point
👍
I like watching these guys but my only gripe with them is they automatically associate any sort of criticism or counterpoint as "hate". There certainly very valid points vs. the Dom tweet but sure, let's only pay attention to the insane degenerate ones so it makes us right.
Of all people, Monte should know why Faker apologized and it's not because he thinks what he did was wrong. T1 just don't want drama on the internet that started because of people misinterpreting Faker.
The ego to say "I was right" and not even consider being wrong is crazy.
Other than that, I enjoy everything gameplay related analysis they put out.
I mean, there was that thread about Dom on reddit that tried to tie him to match fixing and was completely fucking out to lunch on what any of the things it was accusing him of actually are. When you see enough shit like that, you kinda stop filtering for valid criticism.
Legit this. It’s come to a point where anytime you disagree with a content creator it’s the end of the world.
@@anthonyricher then he is a hypocrite. He even said it in his video "he says some outlandish shit only for the persona but there are things he says that he actually means"
So should fans just stop filtering which statements he means and are just saying for content? Because he says so much shit about teams not just t1.
Gamers went from people immune to flame born in hatred to snowflakes and now they are pearl clutchers
Its the North America effect. Where say anything negative about a player means you hate them deeply and personally.
Man, I was really hoping that at least one of you would actually pay attention to what most people were annoyed about with the Inspired interview.
1. One of the examples he gave where he was mad at Jensen was actually his fault. Jensen did not hesitate but he claimed that Jensen did which led to him stutter stepping. In reality Inspired screwed up the top dive not Jensen. So that was annoying.
2. He spent the most time complaining about how Jensen was playing while they gave him mediocre drafts. Not to mention, even when Monte did his bangers only stream, he outright pointed out that the side lanes were playing poorly leading to him not even being able to use the prio created for him.
3. We somehow spent more time on Jensen than Bwipo who literally died to APA standing in lane watching the wrong screen. A lot of us didn't have a problem with frustration and flame in general but the fact that he focused on Jensen instead of Bwipo who wasted the draft resources to get hard gapped by Impact the whole series. So it came off as just Inspired being mad at Jensen and trying to protect his friend that was a way bigger problem in the series.
As far as the Faker apology, he more over apologized for people being sensitive and hurt over him telling the truth. He apologized that people felt he took away from the win. If we want people to not be soft then admitting Faker should have been able to answer the question without pushback is a good step.
Laneswap is a good opportunity for west to make the game novice enough to give unique twist to themselves a chance to play well against lck and lpl at msi + worlds.
Of course, it requires riot to not patch laneswap out of meta again for long a time... Current pro games are complex enough but lacks variation to be enjoyable. Nowdays i just look at first pick/ban and watch first 5-14 minutes and come back at the game to end at 35-45 minutes later knowing who already won. Plus laneswap gives old guards like Faker, Rookie, peanut, Deft, Ruler, TL's Impacts, maybe Perks, caps, and some western players an extra edge.
Riot are 100% going to patch this out. Riot hate Laneswaps.
@@PeoplePleaser578Bro why doesn't Riot like any different way to play the game like Laneswap, mages bot, funnel. Why they patch it out instead of balancing it?
@@120rikeshlawoju8 Because in most cases, there is no way to really balance it. The whole issue with those strats was that because of how they worked, they were too strong which is why people started playing them in the first place.
I love how Monte and thorin always make threats but everyone they come after are still in the industry making lots of money
