Ekko, Gnar. Rek'Sai, Gragas. Cassiopeia, Vlad. Jhin, Ashe, Sivir. Trundle, Braum.
The only diversity I've ever seen is in mid (Vel'Koz, Syndra, wow much diversity 4 champs), NOWHERE else have I seen diversity.

What?
Have you read the recent patch notes?
Veigarisgod11 votesYes i have. Just because they make a handful of tiny tweaks to none LCS champions doesn't mean that they don't balance around yoloQ
LankPants1 votesThat's a single patch. Riot mostly ignores competitive completely.

are the prominent picks because they're objectively very, very good right now.
but you do usually get an off pick or two in a lot of games, like
for example.
LankPants1 votesBeing someone who watches the region that's basically already won worlds this year it's more or less
That is all Korea ever plays. You see different picks in maybe 1 of 10 games and that pick is almost guaranteed to lose.
Croanin1 votesAs dumb as it was for Riot to release the Juggernaut patch right before Worlds last year, we got to see a buttload of champion diversity. Darius's presence alone allowed so many picks to come out that could play around him.
JackMcSnipeyz1 votesThat's because its the LCS, teams will always pick the safest and strongest champs they know how to play currently. They dont wanna risk a lose by picking a new champion they probably havent practiced with in a while.
