How can anyone take Hashinshin seriously anymore?

It’s basic psychology actually. There are two types of people: natural born leaders & natural born followers. Follower-ship is a default setting for all human at birth. The mother-infant relationship is the first experience of a leadership-follower relationship. As time progresses, some human beings begin to lead naturally due to their charismatic personality, skills that others admire/envy, and etc. the rest turned out to stay followers due to it being hardwired into our brains.

People agree with Hash when it comes to his very weirdly illogical yet amusing excuses, comments, rants and knowledge of the game due to him being in Grandmaster. Low Elo and hard stuck players strive to make it to GM+ so they will listen to Hash due to the fact or myth that Grandmaster + Challenger players has grasped and understand the core and advance knowledge of the game mechanics, tactics and the such.

Yes I do admit that I watch his streams but I solely watch it to get a better understanding of tactics, plays and combos of top lane champs. I find his rants to be quite hilarious at best but he is also quite a prime example of psychology at work. He is a leader in a sense who has his own followers. Fascinating isn’t it.
