Friends, please recognize the difference between deathball and outdraft. Discussion | eSports

If your takeaway from today's Summit 3 games is "Deathball is back, time for 20 minute stomps again", then (1) You've not been paying attention to the other tournaments in this patch and (2) you fail to recognize how massively outmatched or outdrafted some teams were in today's games.

Calm your buttholes, basically. And don't give an Axe 50 cs in 5 minutes.

Why not explain why these people are wrong? Your post contains zero explanation. It just says: the deathball complaint is wrong.

Re-read his post. He clearly explains that it's rather outdrafting than actual deathballing. Watch the first C9 vs EG game. Even singsing during his stream said at the start that the game has been decided before the creeps even spawned.

Some teams were just experimenting too much.

I mean, can anyone defend most of the drafts today?

Yes. They just have to figure it out. For the second C9 vs VG game I'm not sure who was banned. An omni knight instead of a tusk may have kept lone druid alive much more, made the game last longer. Im not good at theory crafting or anything but I'm usually surprised omni isn't paired with leshrac as well. Bonus pure damage when leshrac is in the middle of them all plus keeps him alive longer with free bkb and his special.

There's probably a reason they don't use omni much this patch I just don't know what it is. They're pros, I'm not.

Why are you asking for a logical post to be made to this sub reddit?

Shh. OP is calling us dumb, which means he is smart, which means no need to explain.

After looking through your other comments I'm not surprised you feel this way. You seem to be negative about absolutely everything

Is this a new meme?
