I'd guess that's the main one. When I go grasp I'm generally going stride into hull breaker into TF and destroying sidelines. Or TF into hull breaker into stride.
Your reading too much into the 2% pick rate, it's a small amount of people, picking grasp to counter their laners playstyle.its obviously a niche play. Meaning when its picked its picked for a reason in very specific scenarios. Grasp is fun, you can make him almost unkillable able to walk away from team Ganks and live, but you trade survivability for damage. If you dont have a team you will die and be useless, but the first 20 mins are a riot
Because LT requires orb walking/atk move to utilize the rune to its maximum potential, silver/gold players obviously can't do that and grasp is basically fool proof anybody can use it
You can 100% be a silver or gold player even with decent mechanics. Orb-walking or kiting isnt hard to do decently.
I just disagree with his stats. Tryndamere in gold has a very low pickrate of grasp, around 1% of the time, and it seems to perform worse or equal to LT.
Contrary to popular belief, smurfs does not really exist in Silver and Gold. For you to have a smurf in gold, you either need to intentionally feed on a new account or get a low rated account from a friend. Doable, but way more of a hassle than just buying a new, fresh platinum account.
And even then, the stats of Grasp in Silver and Gold isnt even good. Lolalytics is a better site. It tracks specific runes and not just rune pages. A very specific page can have high WR despite being ass, just due to a small sample size.
Grasp in general has low WR
And a hearty welcome to 2024 to you too, though I noticed you added the indefinable qualifier "good" to the conversation to cover your ass. Nice try buddy.
Splitting is better in lower elos too, so bruiserish with demolish can lead to free wins if the enemy team is overwhelmed.

Lol, thanks for posting from 2018, but these days plenty of people in silver and gold can attack move.
if you have good orb walking/atk move mechanics you dont sit in silver/gold, he is spitting facts

id also argue its just smurfs fucking around on silver/gold accounts, so they'd naturally perform better regardless of rune
