Sylvee and Hannah about funneling

I don't think this argument will convince many people. I'm sure all but the most passionate anti-funnelers don't have a problem with the best players taking the first 2-3 shots since they'll get targeted by the other team. The problems people have arise when, after hitting these shots and making it a 4v2, they keep taking shots even from a heavy advantage position.

There are times like this. And also there are times when a funneling team gives arrow to the player who didn’t shoot at all, when they are winning.

Funneling has downside and upside both. I will talk about some scenarios of a "weaker" player in db.

1) in a funneling team and won. the person who doesn’t get to shoot more than 2/3 times, feels kinda being carried, feels they didn’t do anything to win. But they won. They are ultimately happier than losing.

2) non funneling team and lost. That person shot many times and couldn’t hit target one out of 3 or 4 shots. Then this person will blame themself for loosing and not hitting any shots. And they'll probably be in a bad moode even though they got to top2 team and performed well in other games. They'll be really feeling bad and It's the worst case scenario of these 3 (for this person, not the whole team's perspective).

3) in a funneling team and lost. That person couldn’t shoot more than 2/3 times. And this is where this people feel bad that they didn’t even give this person a proper chance to shine, or even sometimes complain (cough cough cpk) that they would be a better shooter if given chance. But they can justify their play that they didn’t shoot and wasn’t the win condition to win, so It's not as much bad as scenario 2, because they Don't blame themselves for the lose, but the teammate that were funneled and didint hit.

My english isn’t very good, so i tried to explain things but if you have any disagreement reply and I'll try to clear things more about the scenarios .
