Lol: The history of the PRO who used one of the worst champions of the game until they banned him

Imagine that you are a professional League of Legends player, convince your team to let you use one of the worst champions of the upper street (in fact, it is used almost only), and not only do you get victories, but that You end up forcing the rivals to block said champion. Well, that is something that happened in the maximum European competition more than eight years ago.

• A Warwick pre renown
• A deserved celebration

We are talking about a feat achieved by Russian player Evgeny Darren Maze. During the 2014 spring season at the time at that time, the European LCS, the To planer opted to use Warwick as an option on the upper street. Such was his success, which made a rival team block it when just a couple of weeks before, nobody considered even a worthy pick.

A Warwick pre renown

This is because, for those who do not know, it was the Warwick prior to Rework. It lacked mobility and barely had two skills that were not passive or statistical increases. The Q was similar to the current one, hitting an enemy and healing, but without displacement; While the definitive was identical, but fixing. The issue was that both E and W were statistical improvements and passive skills.

In short, Warwick only cured a lot with the Q and with its basic attacks. This was all he had, for not commenting on his unfortunate cleaning of waves or the very limited harassment he could provide in the line of lines. In essence, it was a jungle of when the jungle was limited to a few selections of champions that could endure the damage to neutral monsters.

Because that champion is the one that Darren chose on day two and three of the 2014 European LCS. The result was a 7/19 for the Russian, who collaborated decisively in the victories of Gambit. The idea was that his sustain was so absurd, that he won all battles over time.

A deserved celebration

On the fourth day of the LCS, after two consecutive victories with Warwick being key in them, Spa Hot Crew made the decision to use his third and last ban to block Warwick . Darren's ultimate goal, which was none other than to prove that he could use a mediocre champion, dominate with him, and force a ban, was sealed.

As can be seen in the upper video, Darren celebrated that ban as if it were a victory. It is not for less, and it helps us to understand what the professional Legends of Legends was almost 9 years ago. A competition that had just discovered a few months before one Faker. A lot of time has passed.
