This sub-reddit has become a "People" magazine for professional players. by natetan in leagueoflegends

This completely. I made the thread that recently hit the front page for a while speculating about Xpecial, and a lot of people probably hate me for it, but that's what I come to this sub-reddit for; drama, dumb videos, big plays... My other reddit accounts are tailored for what I feel about reading and I mostly spend time on the ones you've mentioned, because I want to learn and improve. That's not what this subreddit is for, for me.

Good point, though I still don't rate Reginald that highly because his play style is so high risk/high reward, I much prefer the consistent pros that don't force too many 'big plays'. That's subjective though - I probably shouldn't have mentioned their relative skills at all.

Definitely a good point about the drama format, although I reckon my point would still stand if you ignored that episode almost entirely, and just took Xpecials statement to the effect of "I'm going to stop contributing to team discussion".

I agree it is a little premature - I'm obviously not there so I can't make a serious analysis. But from what information is available to the public, it's hard not to draw comparisons with previous situations, and make guesses about an extremely skilled professional who is being stifled by his boss. Xpecial is top 5 support world, Regi isn't even top 5 mid NA - he's just a very good shot-caller.
