I wouldn't, because I AM a nerd. I play Cho'Gath because he's a dinosaur who wears suits, and because I know the names of almost every known species' of dinosaur, and I wear suits.
gaming might not be the 'nerds-only' club it used to be, but it certainly still has its roots.
Believe me, I'd WANT Einstein to make a good champion. I play the brains character in every RPG ever.
But pro players don't play for badassery, they play to win.
I have barely played Nasus in S3; not because I don't think he's viable, but because my goal in S2 was 'win' and my goal in S3 is 'understand the game and improve'. I'm not in a position to do that with Nasus, because I know him really well, and unlike Cho, he's a champion with whom, if you get good enough to regularly win lane, you get a lot of free wins. Cho forces me to pay more attention to things like peeling and objectives, whereas I've found I fall into a pattern playing Nasus.
Although I wouldn't be as happy with him ever since he needed that W nerf to be balanced in the jungle.
If that's the case, why are Fiddlesticks, Zyra, Fizz, and SORAKA rated above Heimerdinger? Their champion concepts also biasingly "manly"?

Going live again! This time, I'll actually have twitch chat open, and the resolution is up 50%!
Actually going to add that one in.
yup. we're all a bunch of nerds who play computer games who wouldn't entertain the idea of a scientist being good.
Hah, apparently. And that's coming from somebody who definitely hasn't watched 90% of LCS games.
Cait's passive doesn't apply to crit damage, so I think those numbers are over-high.
You go from + 50% every 6 attacks (for about an 8% increase overall) to +50% every 2 attacks (for about a 25% increase overall).
1.25/1.08=1.16; I'm not seeing the 50% increase, especially as it doesn't apply to crits.
In a bush, it's 16% -> 50%
1.5/1.16 = 1.29, for a 29% increase, again, not applying to crits. Not really seeing the 50%. And wouldn't it triple SS damage?
out of...112 games? I think my hyperbole is warranted.
out of curiosity, was Randuin's gotten in those game? It seems to crop up every game, at least 1 on each team, often more. Late game, it's not rare to see 3.
