The point the author is trying to make is the fact that people don't give anything "rare/new" a chance. Even if it is just playing a champion like Blitzcrank top or some other viable-but-rarely-seen champion or build. Pros are payed to play and win. So they will play tried and true champions and team setups, even when there actually ARE other, slightly harder to learn, options.

People watch the "pros" play and start thinking that their way of playing is the ONLY way of playing. This causes a lot of problems for people who want to try to form their own way of playing.
