    Yeah you read that right. Blitzcrank top lane has a 100% winrate in professional league of legends. This is one of the coolest, strangest, most off meta build of all the off-meta builds, and yet pros in the EU LCS (now LEC) and GPL (now PCS) have managed to keep a 100% winrate with blitz. It's an insane story and one of my personal favorite off meta best moments in league of legends history. This is the story of when blitzcrank top lane seemed almost OP in pro league of legends.

      Any chance you could do a video on the history of "non meta" strategies that became popular in competitive. The lane swap thing you spoke of reminded me of that, but there's been a lot of stuff like funnel comps, mage bot, etc.

    I remember that 2013 game. I remember watching it a few times because I found it to be one of the absolute coolest team comps ever. Playing around a Kataina with two disrupting supports, an ADC that can care for himself (Ezeeal) and an J4 jungle to lock people in so Kata can kill them and have a reliable front line. To this day it's one of my favorite games ever played in the professional league. Glad to see it again 😊

    Great video as always! As a support main, I think roaming supports are much more prevalent today than what you said in the video, though it does depend on the player.
    Best example I can think of is Damwon's Beryl, especially with his signature pick, Pantheon. With Ghost being a self-sufficient ADC, Beryl no longer needed to baby sit bot lane so he can roam and impact the solo lanes.

    I play blitz top from time to time, like today for example. He was made for top when he first came out, and he never really got a full rework to push him into support. You have to understand that he has 3 different effects that empower his autoattacks, thats why he can potentially work as a AD bruiser for top.

    I think blitz could be a viable support in pro play with how prominent the lvl 4 roams top or mid is in proplay, especially if ezreal becomes popular

    Gbay going from daily vids with minimal editing to weekly/monthly videos having the best editing is like a proud daddy moment.

    I hate how much creativity was put into league in the early days in contrast to today. Not only can you no longer be creative (jungle/lane; go AP on an AD champ [old Yi]; roaming; lane swapping), people are now forced to think that by going off-meta, you're either trolling or inting.

    Fun fact "roaming support" was a reportable offense that riot took offense against, resulting in account suspensions.

    Would you consider making a video about any of the G2 players (excluding Perkz for a couple reasons), I feel like Wunder or Jankos have interesting characters/stories.

    Happy to see this video actually ended up in my recommended. Your last video never showed up and I would've probably never seen it if it wasn't for you community post
