When An LCS Player Starts Playing A Champ

It's called flavor of the month, nothing new.

Well to be fair, pro players are going to pick the best champs.

Sometimes the word best just means synergizes well with a certain comp they are going for.

But champs that have a lot in their kit with low downfall, and champs that have strong itemization at the moment are going to be picked by the top players because why put yourself at a disadvantage?

It's only natural for the league community to look at what pro players are contesting for the best picks in the current meta.

It's a good guideline for some of us average players.

But not entirely. Because soloQ differs so much from team play, especially pro team play, and because certain champs & strats are just better at certain levels of competition, it's not entirely accurate.

However, league is much more focused around teamplay than in the past, so there's that to consider.

I think the best thing for me (I've never been higher than Plat 1) is just finding a champ I'm naturally decent at, and sticking with it.
