User blog comment:TheTobarMethod/Why you SHOULDNT follow Pro's./@comment-75.73.211.186-20130214215408

Pro players help a lot. Yes the team does better, but watching voyboy and tiensinoakuma has substantially improved my game play. pro players know when to go help other lanes and when to help their junglers and that stuff as you said, novice players will learn how to do that or when to do that by watching them. thats why i love watching tiensi voyboy and scarra they will always explain the situation, what they'll do and how they will play the match up. now take a pro player like dyrus who doesn't really explain that kind of stuff, yeah you won't learn way too much, and yeah, if you follow their builds exactly you will never be able to do much, and if you follow guides the build won't always be that amazing, but watching pro players do help. especially during the laning phase, There's a lot to learn from watching someone. also voyboy is in challenger... he has been for a week lol@diamond 2, but his builds actually do work in lower elo's. voyboy generally carries his game and his team, that is EXACTLY what you have to do in lower elo's.

There is one point I 100% agree with in this though, and that is probably the MOST important part, which is your first point. people have their own playing styles. like ive said I watch voyboy I play my top lane, EXACTLY like voyboy does, so that's why I love watching him, I learn how to improve my favorite playing style. now if theres someone who likes passively sitting and farming until they have 200 CS by 20 minutes, they should watch someone like froggen, and not voyboy. (if im 100% off on this point sorry, froggens just known for farming a shit ton idk how passive he is or not)

basically the point im getting at through all of this though, is watch people that will teach you, not all pro's or streamers or good players will teach you. and honestly I still find them fun, its not as entertaining as persay sykkuno or CG spazie, but they will teach you things and they will make you a better player, and you will learn how to counter build, counter pick, and how to deal with a MU that you get counter picked in. I actually learned how to beat garen as akali in top lane. Yes, garen as akali, MAJOR MAJOR CP but I've already won it a few times now (haven't lost it). I'm still yet to play vs a leesin though.

the last thing im going to say and it wont be long, you should change the last point to "why not to follow builds" and have your reasoning be because they will be counter building.
