Improve LCS

Just a quick thought. People complain about team comps in LCS always being the same 6-10 champions. What if every champion started out with a $100 bounty. If you play with this champ and win, you get $100. Every game any champ is not played, $10 is added to that champion. Imagine a team in LCS picking nunu or teemo because half way through three season, they are worth $1400. This would create excitement and new team comps with teams hunting for money. Thoughts?

Then these people should learn how to count. Frankly, anyone making this statement is a moron. There was a load of champ diversitiy during the split.

And you can't just pick up a champ at pro level and play it. You need time to practice, alone and with your team.

The problem is really on Riot for not making more champions viable, but even so it's hard to do for Riot or anyone for that matter. There will ALWAYS be better champions even when all are viable because of how certain champions can form a great team comp.
While I do agree it's becoming pretty boring for a lack of better words, I also look at WHO plays those "6-10" champions. There are passive LCS players, aggressive LCS players, bad LCS players using the same champions; so while the same champions are being played there are diversity among who plays them also.

I read this and immediately thought this was going to be the same thing at least one fan griped about in the early weeks.

What if every champion started out with a $100 bounty. If you play with this champ and win, you get $100. Every game any champ is not played, $10 is added to that champion. Imagine a team in LCS picking nunu or teemo because half way through three season, they are worth $1400. This would create excitement and new team comps with teams hunting for money. Thoughts?

And here's the part that's expressing the "Where's the champion diversity?" complaint.

My thoughts: Heck no! That idea is just outright ridiculous and inefficient in every way whatsoever in what's meant to be a competitive environment. That's basically saying they're being paid extra to play specific champion with various result on whether or not it can win. That would also tell teams and players that they're in it for the money over being the best they can be.

You get $500 to play and win with Aatrox. Question: can you even WIN with Aatrox?! How many times are you going to attempt to play for that should you keep losing? What are you giving up for your team should you lose with something oddball and out of your pool of possibility.

Long story short, this doesn't improve nor promote anything. Pros don't always play for you!
