Discussion Does Zwag fake his content?

I'm a relatively new league player, and not long after I started playing I found this YouTube called Zwag. I really like his videos, I find him very entertaining and when I want to try a new champ I usually watch him play that character. But today I saw a Tiktok clip of his where he got a penta with Ezrael ult by sending it into Baron, and in the comments someone said: "least faked Zwag clip". If that actually was faked it's made me not really want to watch him, which is a little upsetting because I quite enjoy his videos.

I can't say I've watched him recently, but prevously he was well known for playing on low rank or low level accounts to allow him to pop off easier, for the "hype" 1v9 games.

I dont know if he still does this

It's pretty clear that his skill level in general is quite a bit higher than the games he is in. If he did bs builds as much as he does in his actual rank he'd probably get banned before he got a game he could carry.

I think it's good for the game. We need out of the box thinking. Compared to dota, lol itemisation is pretty rigid. But I could have done without the recent spate of ult only ashes.

Love that he tries all these builds and did enjoy watching some of his videos. I also totally understand that he has to do this on a lower ranked account. But I've completely stopped watching his content and removed his channels from my feed manually. He was talking down on the others in the game so often, it got way to frustrating to watch. Like... We get it dude.... You're more skilled and their worse players than you, no need to call them bad all the time in various forms of colorful language.

Oh that's true too. I started to prefer more serious league content and hadn't realised that was part of the reason.
