No. I want them to be looked at. Or it's gonna be another boring Worlds.

Like what...?

You're literally complaining without giving a single solution. Champions are banned mainly for being too strong, so what you're implying is them needing nerfs.

These champions were picked/banned across the board. Thats why they need to be looked at. And nerfs applied if required.

Can't blame the champions for having proper team presence, synergy & strength. Riot can't just willy-nilly nerf anything out of the blue just because pros don't want them being used by the enemy team. Still, nerfing those champions means giving the public community more bullshit to withstand, which is something no one wants at all. This is an International competition we're talking about. They deserve to pick/ban something that they don't like to see or want to dominate with, and their champion pool shouldn't be nerfed just because "it's boring" for the viewers.

If you don't like what you're watching just because it's the same over & over, then don't watch.

i dont mind they were picked/banned for strategic purposes, as in Dota2. Here, they were 100% picked/banned mostly because they were stronger incarnation of champs of similar types. If they're left in current state, the other champs will not see the light of day. What's the point of having 140champs in your repertoire then?

Because proplay alone does not define League of Legends. They're just there for competitive entertainment for their respective audiences. There are normal people out there who actually enjoys playing champions that aren't pro-meta.

Of course, regular players will pick anything they want. But pro-plays should be reflective of the general Balance in the game. When only a few champs are continuously picked or even 100% picked/banned, viewed by a large audience, it reflects a feeling that the state of Balance isn't in a good place.

Pardon, but Urgot's presence literally picked up out of freaking nowhere and everyone progressively began to realize what was good about him was worth using despite the patch. You could damn well believe Riot has crosshairs on the champ if need be but nothing's going to change due to the patch being played on competitively.

Also 100% pick/ban? Did you only use one match and base it on every region you watch or something? All of the champions you stated in the OP have varying priority among all the series so far in the past week of games or so excluding EU Masters. Case in point: where Rakan was a top priority in the GEN vs GRF series all 5 games, there was not that extreme of a priority in other series. Same applies to Ashe, Olaf, and even Aatrox from what I have observed. At this point that's just talking out your ass.

Keep in mind that the Regional Qualifiers are being played on 8.15 and 8.16 among these regions.

Expect things to happen come 8.19 and expect a meta to also form around that.

Stars Shaper1 votes

8.18 will be worlds patch anyway.

saltran1 votes

8.19 actually

saltran1 votes

Omg pro play teams rather stick to the meta and play around the strongest picks.

What did you expected?

We all have our pet champs... Mine hasnt been played in years.

When they're 100% picked/banned, they need to be nerfed.

Meddler - No champions should be 100% pick/ban, or very close to it

I don't agree with this guy most of the time. But this I agree.
