The European Regional Tournament Statistics!

Li Ming does not have to be the safe poking bot you make her. You mentioned KT has massive pick potential (which got way harder with his stun nerf anyway) but if you pull a single game in to shit on Li Ming then it's only fair if I mention a single game in the NA regionals where Li Ming solo one shots an enemy at the very beginning of a lvl 20 fight. So there's that.. she can pick off people aswell. Badly. Also if you had seen some plays with calamity rather than safety-poking Li Mings on max range then you'd surely have seen Li Ming's capitalizing on resets and wiping a whole team.

Also tell me what do you need for a "playmaker"? Isn't a potentially squishy hero with high potential burst damage and a blink + resets that allow her to dodge many things and also to wipe a whole team in the right scenario enough to be classified as a playmaker?

It's also not only about the one rotation of spells to match KT's damage. First of all KT's damage is not instant. Chain bombs tick over 6 seconds and of course his huge AOE based kit is gonna have higher potential damage numbers in one spell rotation.. and also you fail to mention that not only the spell rotation is important but also how often/quickly you can get it out. All of Li Ming's cast times are very short and her high mobility with resets allow for an effective use of many (not full, because too mana intense if wastefully used) spell rotations.

Also quick burst damage that is capable of killing people instantly is way more valuable than high numbers. Do you prefer 5 dead people or do you prefer 5 people that constantly get healed up and escape on low HP just to buff KT's damage values?

I'm not saying KT has no playmaking potential or that he is a shitty hero by any means I just can't believe how poor you try to make Li Ming look.

Forgive me if my text is poorly written I didn't sleep a whole night, I also didn't go into every point you made and I could bash hard onto some things you wrote but w/e we're here to be nice KeepoKappa
