I don't rely on 3rd party programs to grind divisions or simply win games. If you wanna improve you need to learn to do what Elophant client does and do it in your mind. Same thing with drake/baron timers and custom recommended item charts. That stuff should in your head not in a client.

Good luck figuring out the stats of your teammates and enemies in your mind, lol.
Come on, you know I meant that in general not Elophant precisely :x
But yea, Elophant client is just a simplier version of "lolking your ally before letting him mid" for example. That's just cheap lol.
Why wouldn't you get as much information as possible before starting a game? Are you telling me people should just lock in blind, regardless of who plays what role better?
Consider, in pro level, everyone knows who plays what role. xx top, zz mid, yy support etc. They don't suddenly go, "Oh hey Dyrus, you're now support!" or whatever, just because he happens to be last pick for some reason. Solo queue is different to 5v5s, but with something like the EloPhant client, solo queue could become as efficient as a premade 5v5 team.
If you do best as ADC, but you call APC because you want to try it out for the first time in ranked, I think that it's fair if I call you out on it and say, "Dude, you have a 90% win rate with AD Miss Fortune over 70 games, why are you trying to play Ahri when another guy called mid?"
Sometimes first, second and third pick automatically choose the "desired" roles, like ADC, APC and top lane, JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN. If given a speadsheet of ally data that informs them, hey, you know, last pick is on a winning streak with APC Lux, maybe that person who was going to claim APC because "oh, lower mmr = bad, can't let them have a crucial role" won't instalock.
If a man was rushed to surgery due to losing a leg, would you want 5 random doctors rush forward, and claim whatever role on the operating table, regardless of experience in that role? Oh, you're an optometrist, that's great, but don't you think that a surgeon would do a better job saving this guy's life?

Seems good, but I don't have much use for it.
Thank you jhoijhoi, Keondre, LaCorpse, The_Nameless_Bard, Arcana3, Apfeljack, Hogopogo, eddie199, Xiaowiriamu, and JEFFY40HANDS for the spectacular sigs!
I think its a really bad excuse to not use this client because "you don't need it to win." The purpose of this client is to give the user more information, as jhoijhoi stated, about his teammates. Why is that a problem? I hate the Riot client with a passion so anything better than it is a step up in my opinion.
+Rep me if i'm useful!
