Sorry I meant Urgot.

Out of the 11 games from Quarter Finals to the Grand Finals in the Korean Spring season playoffs, Urgot was picked or banned in 10 games. 10 out of 11 games, when the best professional teams in arguably the strongest league/region were trying to take the throne. On the first day of MSI, Urgot was again picked or banned in every single game except one, in a match between AHQ e-Sports Club and Beşiktaş e-Sports Club. Neither teams leaders of the meta, top in power rankings, or even come out of strong region. Every other match, Urgot was picked or banned. Graves not picked, not banned, or even ever considered.

Nitpick about Urgot's late-game all you want, the entire Korean pro scene considers Urgot and Kalista must pick or ban. I don't watch too many of the other regions' games, but from what can be seen from MSI, the top teams from the rest of the world seem to agree with Korea's assessment on Urgot.

I know it never feels good to have people tell you that you're wrong about something, but take it how you will, I'm just pointing out what I disagree with. And you did mention IE, a LOT. It was no way just a brief mention. Sure, that wasn't the only thing you said, but I also didn't talk only about IE now did I? Not sure if you accurately understand what the straw man fallacy is, but whatever.

I don't know why you keep mentioning Caitlyn, but Caitlyn sucks. She has always sucked, and will always suck barring changes to her kit. The only time she was ever even FotM, was back when the Koreans first introduced the tower-rushing quick rotation meta. That was when swapping bot lane top to take towers asap and rotating quickly after hasn't been done before, and Cait was ever only useful for that one strategy before Riot patched in many changes to intentionally kill that meta. Even at that very time, when that meta was hot, Cait sucked. The masses in ranked solo queue spammed Cait in every game without lane swaps or rotations, and had no idea at all why Cait was even being used in the Korean pro scene.
