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.
Because now in the Pro Meta, its about Jungle carrying too rather than just straight up Tank
I mean, we have Nidalee and Syndra, but those two are becoming lower-priority bans.
The 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.
I miss seeing Morde
They made an excellent decision by disabling yorick this worlds. At least they learned from last season!
Lee sin also has a hard counter in the form of Poppy.
