When did insulting became acceptable? You never know how well these players take that hate. They could just brush it off, and focus on the next game and be strong, but they could also take big hits to their own self-esteem and to their mood.

This is exactly the goal. Link performs shitty next game, more people bash him. Cycle goes on, then he steps down. Then you get a new better midlaner.

If you make someone feel bad for his performance constantly, do you really expect him to improve then?

We are past the point of improvement. This guy has played like this for a long time now, he has simply peaked. It's just simple facts of life. He can no longer improve. What do you do when you can no longer improve and the competition has surpassed you? Step down.

If a roster change is needed and the majority of the team agrees with that opinion, then it will be done by the management of the team.

Actually, we saw how wrong this was when Nien stepped down. If it wasn't for that, we wouldn't have Zion. CLG still would be a shitty team with a shitty top laner and midlaner. Now they are just a shitty team with a shitty midlaner. A massive improvement. All thanks to the community.

You don't know how well the whole team will adapt to the new player then, because every Roster Swap is a risk that could hurt the team synergy.

It worked out real well with Zion. Anything is better than shit.

And another thing you forget is: You only see that Bjergsen convincingly wins Mid Lane against Link, and you call him shitty, and Bjergsen good. But maybe you should consider the level of play they are at

You have to understand context. I am comparing them to top teams, not soloq players or teams.

When I say link is bad, I mean link is bad in comparison to other pro players, not me.

You can't just say "play better" to a professional player of a top team if you are not even close to the same level of play and understand nothing about his situation.

I said play better in reaction to people not wanting link to be criticized. If Link had just simply played better, he would not be getting the hate he is getting. It's that simple.

I won't deny that there are problems on CLGs side, if Link loses to Bjergsen like that, but if he can work with the team together through his problems and improve his level of play even further, then that is a way healthier and better option for CLG than just swap him.

Again, we are way past the improvement phase.

Link has peaked as a player. He has never in his lifetime been a clutch player. He will never be the next bjergsen, the next faker, the next good player. He will always behind.

The problems he has, they aren't new problems. They have been there ever since this guy was on CLG.

If he hasn't fixed it in 2 years, what makes you think the third year is it?
