LCS ( espors/league ) is slowly getting... boring... and this is what can make it exciting again

I have been watching and playing league since season one ( on and off ). I loved it but right up to season 5 i realized how tedious and boring and it was to watch 5 games of moaki or poppy top. Doesn't matter the team because its meta.

10 ban system is cool because it makes people have a bigger champion pool. But can't we make it so players can;t play a champ more than once in a series? So they have to be more strategic.

WHY have over 100+ champion BUT we only get to see 20 max ( no idea if thats right but we see the same boring champs everygame )

I want to see meta champs being banned forcing pros to play other champs AND WE as viewers get too see teams come up with super awesome strats involving champs that have never seen the rift.

All i am saying is league is getting boring.. and fast. Doesnt matter if the NBL or w.e gets involved.. the community will fall apart and games like cs and ow will take over.

Anywho just my 2 cents on making the game funner to watch

Pros don't play to entertain you they play to win, every patch that comes by they obviously want to capitalize on what the strongest champions are in that patch and will continue to do so until another patch roles along.

Honestly, do you even know any other communities to make that claim? Sports are somewhat irrelevant on the matter and have only really started taking notice within the last year. But other esports...shooters are completely linear with an element of tactics added to it; you almost never get the same game out of them. Same goes to fighting games which are more mechanically complex than you can imagine. Speedrunning is execution heavy and even though there's no real monetary competition behind it, it's still worth the mention.

I don't see any of these communities falling apart and I definitely don't see League falling as hard as you think. Outside of CSGO Majors, EVO, TI, and some Smash majors, League still regularly tops esports interest. Using regular season viewership and entertainment are both relatively weak excuses. As Frostistic said, pros don't play to entertain. Each of those communities above have their elements of boredom attached to them whether it is "the same thing over and over" in means of players or teams or characters played.

League is at least constantly making champion changes to the game patch after patch. Whether they make it to pro play or not is completely under the choice of the teams, players and coaches combined. And even still, the grievance is about "lack of diversity" or "20 champions a game" or whatever. First of all, the weekend just started for NA and I can only assume you just watch that. Why over exaggerate? There have been about 60 unique picks/bans in the region alone since the start of the season. This list in particular can also tell you there's more willingness from players around the world to play certain things. So what is it with always saying League is getting boring?!

Honesty I wouldn't say it is getting slow and boring but But I had to agree with the announcer it is losing its interest because there is started to be 0 variety in the champions selected. and not sure why riot hasn't Do some thing about this over the years

its the same 10-15 champs EVERY time very little variety at all I mean come on riot.. 100+ champs and only 10-15 are always selected

even the announcer was like " Oh Varus and Jhin " selected its not like there are any other ADC's out there. "
