That's your opinion. But note it's also only been 2 weeks going into the 3rd. Anyone can say "oh they all suck" now but what about the rest of the split or season? And if you're one of those fans who fixates and worships on regions like China or Korea, not many teams are standing out there either. If you want me to explain, then by all means I will.

ah well, c9/h2k/g2/splyce look alright, UoL look pretty great that early in the season and same can be said for flyquest (meaning a lot better than expected).

and all those teams still have more than half a year to grow left till worlds...really early to call them out.

It has only been 3 weeks so far into the split so teams are going to look "horrible" for a number of reasons.

It's a long season( spring and summer)

I'm not saying the spring split doesn't matter oppose to say 2/3 years ago where the spring split was 100% useless for Worlds etc when it was only the summer split that actually mattered while the spring splits teams are more relaxed. Teams are just trying to find their niche and groove in which each spring split that happens, it's not until the summer where you truly see the more strategic teams.

Roster moves and changes.

Each team for the most part has had a roster change and it takes time for players to gain synergy with each other. Just give them time.

It's the Kill or be killed meta

This split/Meta makes it look like players and teams are bad and have 0 macro and micro play because of how much cc/roots/stuns/slows etc each meta champion has nowadays and how easy it is to die. You get caught once by a champion with any of those abilities and you're dead or 90% of your hp is gone, so you can't really make too many objective or smart calls.

Has teams look garbage for the most part honestly no, at least I don't think so. I think the talent/skill from the best teams all the way to the lower tier teams isn't a huge gap like in the past. NA it was nothing but TSM and C9 for like 5 splits in a row until recently with CLG in the past 3 splits now becoming a team tier org/team as well as adding in Flyquest being heard, Phoenix One becoming a top team. For EU it was nothing but Fnatic for 6-7 splits with Alliance winning 1 split and vanishing as well as SK just being the 3rd place winner each split until a year or so where it was H2K that only got the 3rd place over and over again.

Overall Cloud 9/ G2 Esports/ Team Solomid/ Phoenix One/ H2K are the most hyped top tier teams just because of either talent or just their history for example would be predicting the NE Patriots aren't going to be in the playoffs next year like you have to see it to believe it and C9/TSM/G2/H2K have proven to stay at the top for numerous splits.

Misfits/Splyce/Immortals/Envyus - Are still young teams that will improve but they only need time so at times so far they do look "meh"

FlyQuest/Echo Fox/ Fnatic will have their ups and downs but they have decent shotcalling so while they do have bad plays given more time(word of the day) they will only improve and have that strategic style in the future.

Giants/Roccat/Liquid - Honestly so far they are "bad" no question about that.

Other teams such as Vitality/Dignitas/CLG do have 1-2 small problems but it can be easily fixed so no jumping off ship or SOS just yet.

Origen - C'mon they got neutered.

It's still very early in the season so naturally there are gonna be some weak links and mistakes here and there. Obviously some teams are naturally better than others but again it's still very early in the season so upsets and comebacks can still definitely happen.
