Out of 123 total champions (I'm fairly certain Bard isn't enabled in the LCS yet).

Essentially half of all champions were chosen.

I hope that Riot doesn't change the tanks. We've seen so much diversity in the last week. It is absolutely wonderful! Champions that weren't being played are now viable. IMO, this was just what the game needed.

Easily one of the most enjoyable weeks in competitive play I've ever seen.

besides tanks in solo queue running around full retard its a great patch.

We'll see something like that again during this week. No new patch means the LCSs will still be running 5.5.

WHICH IS GOOD.

I'm pretty sure we added like, 20 champions to the mix that rarely saw play outside of player preference.

Urgot. Olaf. Yorick. ZAC. Nautilus SUPPORT (the first champion I Ranked with in the role I used them!). Twitch came back in. Viktor is still seeing some use. Vlad poked his head in. Sejuani is seen as a terror (but that's only because people still aren't quite used to tank yet, and she's top tier in that regard).

And Urgot needs a second mentioning. Urgot. UR-GOHT. Urgot Mid wrecked TSM.

Well IDK about the patch is all good because it caused new potential problems with Tank abuse alas esp vs the champions you didn't list...

Seeing more champions is/are better.

Now if we can just get the rest of the game onboard that would be nice...

BTW nice work on the research.

except... I don't think patch 5.5 is the one they are playing on... Could be wrong, don't follow those tournies too closely.

Can someone link me to the Diana game? Been trying to find it, but don't know which game it was in.
