Why do people find it so hard to realise that champions with CC or/and superior range are viable without mobility if one is practised and skilled at positioning?

Yes. Xerath, Lux, Vel'Koz, Zyra are all viable at mid lane both at high elo and in LCS.

You don't need a 'get-out-of-jail-free' card, if you just never end up in jail. It's true that mastering positioning is a more demanding task than playing dash/speedup champions, but guess what, that's the fun in it! After lots of practise, you get to a point where you keep displaying your powers from afar and the only way for those gap-glosing champions to get you is to mess up their positioning really bad, which is easily punishable in high elo / LCS.

Many LCS players just pass out what they hear and things spread out without anyone questioning and using his own judgment.

Lux has high cooldowns, too immobile, Ziggs is a better Lux.

Funny, if you abandoned your +45 dmg boots (3x15 for Lux) for, I don't know, 15% cdr & into Athene's, you might get surprised at the power of 40% cdr Lux against any champion. Immobile? I guess you'd rather have a dash than a shield, a slow and a double snare...

If you are good at aiming skillshots prefering a dash to these tools - 'cause you can't have both - is just 100% illogical. Lastly, only one thing to say about the Ziggs argument. When was the last time a Ziggs snared you and you were instantly killed off by him/his team, just by getting hit by a single skillshot? Not to mention how their ultimates compare in reliability (can't flash a laser when snared while tons of Ziggs ults miss even in LCS) and in cooldowns.

The only reason Lux is not on LCS is because these players' whole life career is based off winning a game and they can't afford to devote time to practise champions that are not tested and dominant (apart from some who play for fun and are confident enough to try new things).

And that's pretty much all there is to it.
