The One Single Rule Competitive Play Needs To Increase Its Entertainment 300%

This isn't the first time I've posted this, but I feel really passionate about it. I really think after this Worlds the best move Riot could make would be implementing a rule where once a champion is actually played in a series, it can't be used again.

It's really tiresome as a viewer to see the same 4 bot laners each and every game, seeing Gragas belching around for oh idk the 40,000th time, and recently Urgot and Aatrox as staples.

Yes. It would throw a huge wrench into things but I feel it would add more elaborate picks (most likely teams choosing A-B tiers in early games while feeling the other team out- or would they?) and ultimately it would help expand away from the 5-10% meta, safety picks that all teams choose from and would better spotlight the actual skill of these teams when they are forced to broaden their rosters.

Wouldn't that just be awesome?

People have suggested this before. I have mixed feelings.

I do think it would create a more entertaining viewership. However it may not actually be finding the best team anymore.

Patch 8.11 through 8.14......

To be specific, one time there was diversity and unpredictability in games. And that kind of meta never got to see playoff best of series. Things stagnated all over again and it sucked. That being said, no...I'm against this whole disable what's played thing.
