Prediction on new champion picks at worlds
Okay so, this year world will be on a very exiting patch to watch, many changes since summer, and with changes come new picks. Let's gather around and see if we can predict some of the new champion picks:
: I think we will finally see Tahm in his full glory, and i predict it will be top or jungle. Tahm is one of those that got so much benefit from the new items in 5.16, and maybe we will see teams using his ultimate properly now. Also remember that Tahm is one of the few tanks, that is actually super strong in 1v1 after some levels.
I think the world is ready to see soraka. For me is a sleeper OP. She has very clear weaknesses but if you can build a team able to kite or protect her in some way, you ar egood to go. Soraka is in ABSOLUTE the champion that can impact the outcome of fights the most in the game. No doubt about it.
: After the rework skarner is definetly a good pick now. He got nerfed heavily (he wwas ridicolous), but he can still impact the game ALOT.
Lux will make an appereance at world, im pretty sure about it. Many little buff each patch actually helped her a lot, and she can be absolutely devastating if left unchecked, thanks to her range and her insane poke.
He is a bit of a ? but i think we will see him. Because he has so many strenghts and weaknesses he can do absolutely great or absolutely bad. But his Dragonforce is what will make him really shine in competitive. THAT THING IS STRONG.
Nocturne will make a huge comeback, while rengar was more of less always played, nocturne short range ultimate was penalizing him too much. This is not the case anymore soo... expect much more of him.
Zyra changes to her plants AI is a huge buff. Belive it or not she can be incredibly oppressive now. I think she will be played in midlane at worlds.
Not that big of a surprise we alrady sawe her, but at worlds we will see her even more. Her 1v1 is crazy and her ultimate is just too good for competitive teams to don't pick up.
GAREN WILL MAKE IT GUYS! And i acutally think he can do really good too. Garen start slow, but damn he becomes really unstoppable at some point. Yes you can kite him, but if you ban sme kiting champions or protect him in other ways he becomes truly truly terrifying especially for the Villain. His ulti can literally take out more then half health to a villain.
Similar story to Garen, you have to build around him. BUt if you do it correctly he is just a Pentakill machine. you cannot leave a darius rampage in a teamfight or you will jsut lose straight up. He will show up at world.
Oh yes. Vel'Koz Baby.With the raise in power of juggernauts we will see a lot of people running towards the enemies. Vel'Koz is great in that situation. Chasing Vel'Koz is NOT GOOD. Withotu mentioning his great burst and poke at the same time.
Bard problem is always the laning phase. But as for Vel Koz, he can kite for days, and he can literally stops people on the spot. Garen coming at all gears towards you?, np you got bard, just ulti him.
Renekton is just super good with the new juggernauts items. Basically that's it. Not only he is super strong early, but he can stay toe to toe with most of toplaners and create chaos in teamfights.
Nami will make a big return too. her laning ophase is always super good, but also her kiting and disengage is. And that will come very handy at worlds.
If you want somene to die when things go bad, that's Karthus. What i mean by that is te act that if we reall see these strong carry toplaners and you fail to kite them, you could use karthus as "Ace in the sleeve".
Lucian got some buff, but actually i think they helped him a lot. his skirmishing and mobility is greatly increased by this and i think we will see some of him.
? Ever since he became "meta" (still unsure how) he's been in a lot of lcs games.
