I remember over a year ago I started ranking without the champs, experience or general basic knowledge to do so... But I knew one thing, Nautilus was the perfect supp once I landed in bronze 5 and I did my best to main him despite I kept losing and getting lost while trying to figure out how to carry a match or what was best in different situations.
Today I use him but not that much as it's no longer a surprise, it's mainstream. In the old days it was just considered a troll pick, the ap wasn't supposed to be used with him and you were just a noob playing a supp role you didn't want to... The irony at its peak.
Now you get to see him in Pro leagues, specially in NA as it was the week's revelation despite that in Asia they discovered him a long time ago along with Katarina, Hecarim, Veigar and many other champs. And my point is going there now.
What League of Legends players lack in general is imagination and out of the box way of thinking... That's the big lackluster in general in the Western World and that is one of the reasons asians are in a completely different league than the rest of us mortals.
Pro Teams eventually hire them like it's happening now but not adapting their respective teams to their creative way of doing things and you end up watching Piglet and Impact getting thrashed like noobs in every game.
Mid table teams like C9, UOL and Gravitas are noticing that without imagination you can't keep competing for the long term. You need to leave the "meta" and reimagine it, rebuild it, transform it, create it. That's how mages appeared in top, that's how new supps appeared in the bottom lane, that's how the jungle could be cleared by surprise picks.
You change the game, the game doesn't change you.
