Is anyone honestly tired of the Ardent Censor priority in every Worlds matches?

Almost not a single actual tanky Support was picked at all, as it's nothing but Janna Lulu every game. Where's the variety in here? Can we just get a quick Worlds hotfix on making Ardent Censor's stats as the current one?

I won't count Tarek because he's an ardent user.
I saw Fnatic pick Allistar. Didn't go too well for them.

LoI im hoping people start banning those 2. Sure they will still pick ardent users like taric and raka but mabye you will see other things like sona or something diffrent. Literally every single draft is Kog/twitch/xayah/trist with janna/lulu/rakan. Then just get a tank top to soak damage like mao, naut, cho. Engage jungler . Grag j4 reksai. Mid dosnt even matter but ones with cc or shields like ori or ryze for helping the adc is good.

Lul imagine if each team could ban one item

While I agree that's a little skewed on the debate of Taric. Can utilize Ardent: yes, but that doesn't dismiss him as a tank just like it didn't for Trundle

Taric


But to answer, I'm not all too tired of it. While shielding has shown more beneficial among these teams, the play in stage did show to a note that engage in form of Thresh Rakan has its place depending on the priority carries. Unfortunately Rakan is a priority ban and Thresh hasn't been picked up at all.

Braum was also picked quite a lot in play-ins. Alistar was picked more than once. Supports picked so far.

  1. Rakan can apply Ardent very nicely if he needs to
  2. Thresh is the only playmaker that is still either banned or possibly picked

This was in play stages, I dont think Thresh has been picked or banned since. Maybe, he was banned one time in the C9 game

It's not so much as worlds as in my own personal matches, Worlds is where everyone is more than happy to adere to the meta and often pro players use the same strategy but in different ways. On a side note I have seen Alistar who doesn't really use ardent from time to time.

I'm just tried of the announcers over emphasizing it we get it ardent is OP it's a rushed item blah blah

Well when supports are buying it before their warding item and getting gold items first and often using gold runes to get it faster, it is rushed.

Sry, but as long as the game is won or lost 100% by which Teams ADC is stronger, Items that buff/protect the ADC will always be first priority.

Its crazy because teams have to use two extra bans on two supports who honestly, don't really do that much right now EXCEPT for apply Ardent very effectively and its making teams leave actual power picks open.

Stuff that should be getting banned: Chogath JarvanIV Sejuani Gragas

But NOPE, gotta ban supports because of a single item they use.
