I haven't been playing too long and have been watching the LCS for even less. Today it seemed as though I was seeing Azir, Gragas, Annie, Rek, Rumble and Kalista like every match. Is it always like this?
You forgot sivir, maokai, hecarim, gnar, kog'maw, cassiopeia, varus, alistar. And yes it's pretty much always like this. It's the meta and has proven to be the most successful.
The only times you will see something interesting to watch is when Faker, UoL, or Keane (team gravity) plays.
Here are the meta picks
Top: Fizz Maoki Gnar Rumble Vlad heciram Jungle : Sej Gragas Evelyn nunu Lee sin Reksia Mid : Azir Cass LB Zigs Varus Kogmaw ADC : Corki Vayne Sivir Kalista lucian Support : Alistar Naut Thresh Annie Morg ( don't get the annie and morg lately) yes i understand kalista annie
just in general order nothing specific. Probably missed some but thats the meta right now
These are what are supposed to the best picks if you want to win the game. Top: Best: Mao'kai, Gnar (he's more popular in the Eastern regions though), Rumble, Hecarim, Ryze Good: Irelia, Vlad, Fizz, Yasuo, Ekko Jungle: Best: Gragas, Rek'sai Good: Lee Sin, Sejuani, Evelynn, Nunu, Ekko Mid: Best: Azir, LeBlanc, Kog'maw, Varus, Ekko Good: Fizz, Cassiopeia ADC: Best: Sivir, Kalista Good: Corki, Vayne, Lucian, and obviously Draven Support: Best: Alistar, Thresh, Nautilus Good: Janna, Annie, Morgana
this is probably the most diverse its been in a while
LCS is always stale. if you want It to be phresh and exciting watch all regions. They all play so differently you forget how stale it is compared to just watching 1 region
