We don't have 100% pick/ban Champions in every match like Gangplank, Mordekaiser, and Darius were last year.
Yeah, Lee Sin is back in the mix but he's actually been gone long enough he's at least somewhat fresh again as far as pro matches go.
Honestly, I'm surprised Gragas hasn't shown up at all, since even with his nerfs he was still a prominent presence at the various playoffs and gauntlets.
GhostOfTsushima1 votesBecause now in the Pro Meta, its about Jungle carrying too rather than just straight up Tank
TurquoiseYoshi1 votesI mean, we have Nidalee and Syndra, but those two are becoming lower-priority bans.
hotarse1 votesThe interesting thing with Nidalee is even though shes kinda oppressive, there are some jungle champs that can provide other things that she doesn't, namely a front line and crowd control. I kind of like skarner into nid. Nid's a good pick with a top laner with CC like Ekko or one of the tanks, but without a front liner I feel like she can become a non factor in well set up team fights.

The problem is that with every other jungler you're playing into a deficit. Her jungle clear/skuttle crab control is just so much better then every other jungler that she almost always has a gold/experience advantage over others. The skarner was mainly able to keep up because he snowballed off an early gank.
