The casters say things like "unbelievable!" an "amazing!" when they pick Akali and Varus instead of one of the same 15 champs that are played every game. Its kinda pathetic.

Totaly agree, They should be more open to any choices pro players have every champ open to them and can play privetly on a smerf account. so no one knows who they can or cant play outside the team so casters saying amazing or unbeliaveable is kinda sad to me.

Then quit watching? I can't imagine anyone calling them pathetic would enjoy it; unless they're complaining for the sake of it.

If you don't like this topic, mb don't write here then? =D Just following your logic. Author is right, in 15-20 champs meta every nonmeta became celebrting by casters and crowd, because its risky to play not like other pros. And unusual pick makes games different and unpredictable. And yeah it's pathetic, because all this things just showing to us low champion pool is, and how boring proscene is.

The meta is constantly changing, dont forget that the priority pick and ban is way different from last year ( Shyvana, Riven, LB, Nidalee, Elise, Jax, Renekton, Caitlyn, Vayne, Ez, Leona, Zyra, Sona... etc ).

The few champ that still maintain their popularity both this and last year are Zed, Ahri, Thresh, Rumble, Leesin. As you can see the game is never the same each time meta is changed.

Wow! Let's remember previous century then - there even wasn't MOBA games.

There is must be different champion picks during at least championship. Not during years.

There are few here and there in some matches. But expecting people to consistently pick not very meta-strong champions in the most significant matches of their gaming career is rather unreasonable.

More picks, more strategies -> more fun. And there is no doubt. And that exacly what people want and expect from players. Right now it's impossible because meta has only couple strong combos. But Riots working on that. But chapion pool becoming lower and lower =D Anyway we're not talking about previous years. Everybody wants to see different picks and different playstyles.

it is pretty sad to see casters going crazy when a champion from their own game is picked outside the regular. You balance this game for christ's sake this shouldn't be the case where every team is using the same damn strat.
