Because people find it entertaining? He and Deman both just say random things. They're just the hype play-by-play with no technical details. You can dislike how he does it, sure, but the whole "he doesn't add any insight" angle is weird since he's not there to do that. You typically don't expect technical stuff from the play-by-play commentator.
Edit: Let's put it this way, I think so far most the posts here about the commentator rankings seem to dislike the play-by-play ones in general with Deman as the exception. Which is fair as most people actively playing the game can follow without them and probably know things better than them anyway. They're really more there for people who don't know what's going on and then to just be the excitable voice.

The problem with many of the play by play commentators is that they regularly fail to capture the moment to moment happenings inside of the game. Someone like Rivington will be saying things that aren't happening while missing many critical pieces of information. If anything the commentary from people like Quickshot or Rivington is misleading to new players, and their behavior is embarrassing and meaningless to established players.

Quikshot is a "play-by-play" caster who tries to do a job he can't (discuss the strategies of the teams and critique the play). Deman is a play-by-play caster who has developed a reasonable understanding of the game.
Edit: I guess I'm the sort of person who'd rather listen to people who know more, preferably a lot more, than me, than less.

Yeah. I give Rivington a pass since he tries more to just be the hype for the games instead. Like I said though, I just find the whole "they don't provide insight" angle to be funny since ... well, they're not supposed to. But, yeah, there's a lot of misleading things said by some of them.
For what it's worth, my favorite of the casters is still Jatt for precisely that reason. He's entertaining when he needs to be and otherwise is just good for the information.

i mute commentary pretty frequently, but the only time I can't really stand commentary is when they do some talk about things other than the game because the game is so boring shit
like there will be a lull in commentary and then someone makes a wry comment, like you can't even pretend that there is something else to talk about
i like kobe/riv combo, kobe does a decent job tactfully correcting riv (whereas jatt can come off as a know-it-all) and they seem to translate being close in real life to how they commentate together

to be fair if i was casting that curse vs complexity game i would run out of things to say after iwillforgettobuywriggles 77 minute madreds.
i thought they did a pretty good job keeping that game afloat
the worst commentary comes when the commentators cater to memes or try to project certain stories
It's the opposite.
Lol. Yeah they all have little phrases that come out really frequently. Quickshot is definitely the worst with it.

at this point people should be calling clg hotshotgg's soloq mash.
i don't like how rivington hypes up every single thresh/lebonk play
it's like cmon dude, freaking bunnyfufu hit a long range hook, he's not fucking madlife
i really like doa, phreak, jatt and kobe, with doa being my absolute favorite. i agree he's not the craziest league fan (like say phreak) but he's super entertaining, i really enjoy listening to him go off-track and invent skin lines and whatever mid-game, it's pretty hilarious. i don't like monte too much cos i find that he obsesses about the weirdest things and says "ok tomato won" and then they lose and doesn't even say my b or something.
i don't really mind riv or dman or joe miller or quickshot, they're just there to hype shit up and they can be sometimes pretty funny
deficio's also pretty cool, i hope he loosens up a bit more and starts throwing more player insight, make that his thing

I started playing for fun while in plat, doing jungle hecarims and adc ashes. And now all of a sudden I'm in plat 4.
Huh.
Huh.
And, lo, the angel of Riot came upon them, and the glory of Riot shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all summoners.
For unto you is born this day in the Summoner's Rift, which is Malphite.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped molten rock, owning the top lane.

the power of zed.
Before clicking the link I was expecting to see at least one of the following in your team:
- Irelia
- Jax
- Vi
- Jarvan IV
- Tristana
And of course, there they are.

That this game is far from balanced and you can win in champ select. Also, that lane phase doesn't mean shit if you don't get a huge advantage and push mid grouped, the best strategy in soloQ is to pick Tristana/Irelia/Jax/Ryze or some other bullshit lategame 0 skill character and turtle until you scale better than the enemy. That, or pick a jungler that guarantees a flash burn/kill every gank like Vi or Jarvan and carry all lanes by minute 7. "Every gank" being the few seconds of their non-ultimate spells cooldown.

Ok. Moar Ahri for me.
This site (Leaguepick) is kind of cool, but I don't know what games it tracks. I guessed it used my ranked stats from Season 3+2014, but the numbers don't add up. I dunno, but it would be nice if it could track all my games from the new match history, but I suppose it can't because of the restrictions (be a friend or log in for normals).
It seems it doesn't work for some. It's weird. Half my friends couldn't use it.

shes easy to play until someone locks in a warwick.
that's like the worst strategy possible in solo q wth
most of my games don't make it to 35m
Based on your input, we strongly advise you to play Orianna
LP SCORE: 69
With Orianna you have a 71.4% win ratio.
This means that out of the 14 games you have won 10.
Moreover, you have a KDA of 4.6 which is awesome.
other options: lizzy, lux, nami, ahri, mf, syndra, thresh and j4 (wut)
so basically it just lists your most played champions lol
i love how you're so into these shitty sites, even more than me
pls
