Welcome to the Big Plays Spotlight! In this feature, we highlight the most epic plays, from meticulously-coordinated early tower dives to mind-blowing cross-map jukes.

With a brand new red buff in her arsenal, Diamond V player is that Grandma boldly duels a full-health Lee Sin. Flirting with death, Caitlyn forces the Blind Monk to go for the kill only to outplay him with a creative mid-ult Flash dodge.

We'd love to feature your biggest plays, so post a link in the comments below or submit your clip here!

Again, I have to question why this is on the front page, really. :/

I like this a lot more than random stuff like unprofounded theorycrafting to be honest.

Newer players can actually learn something from stuff like that :)
Thanks Emikadon for the sig!

That's true.

When I look at this, I just viewed the video and then, at best, would comment, 'cool' and leave it at that. I dunno, is there any real meaningful discussion to be had from this video?

It's a moment of brilliance - a well played move that is there to be admired and leave people wondering if they could pull it off too

Yup, what's the whole point of having a video/stream section if you're just going to have some people completely bypass it.

Also it's a nice play but nothing worth a spotlight like this.

Again, mobafire please.

Discussion, no. But this way it reaches a lot more people. Some won't be worth watching, some will be. And I always click play when there's a new one :)

The question is, who decides what deserves to 'reach more people'. I don't think this does at all.

On Reddit people vote what reaches frontpage or not, here its just one guy backstage deciding what should or what should not and that's a huge backstab to other content creators.

It was just posted by Riot that's the reason for it being here. These Riot posts could be filtered, that's true. I'd like to see more stuff from Mobafire in the news tbh ...
Thanks to Natuhlee for this sig!

Then maybe an entire separate section may be needed. Just like how the front page used to broadcast MOBAFire streamers, have a section for selected top plays?

I don't know, just seems a bit more appropriate than what is considered to be the 'news' section.

As for this being a moment of brilliance... well, not really. The Caitlyn burned a Heal and a Flash when she probably didn't need to. She could have safely ultied from where she was standing prior to chasing because Zyra gave her vision, if she didn't already have it. All-in-all, it was a pretty wasteful play.
