As someone from NA

I have to say the the NA LCS is easily the most boring League. There are moments of excitement like the 18 minute Immortal vs TIP game. Although, for the most part, everyone is just playing to not lose instead of playing to win which makes the game so damn slow, safe and boring. I will never forget this game. It was a 50 minute long TSM game with a grand total of 5 kills until the "game is ending so everyone dive the fountain." There are almost never exciting picks like Faker's mid lane Yi or when Yorick had a short stay and Galio got played over in EU. You'll never see a new pick come out of NA cause we are the "me too" region.

na's biggest problem is they buy players and if they have like 2-3 bad games they get benched or thrown out for other players. take eu for example. origens fnc elements. those 3 teams ended up with 1 player building a whole team. and well origens and fnc never had big problems but elements had. still they didnt buy other players and kicked the old ones out. they played together.

but yea i have to agree na only picks the meta stuff.

Actually sums up it up nicely. I have been saying for years that NA's biggest problem is that they are not being creative at all.

pretty much this....i had some hope for you guys last season when TSM (that are really the embodiment of this sentence) didn´t win as much as usual by stalling out, but ultimatly it didnßt happen. Maybe immortals can break this habit up a tad this season though.

I agree. NA is all about "meta" which ultimately is a way to lose. You have to have something to surprise your opponents. Look at TSM and C9 at worlds. They played what was good, not what they were good at.
