Sad but true, I'm at the point where I'm not going to even bother watching the lcs. I rarely watch live, usually check the vids a day or week later, but for worlds I normally check it the same day just not live. This worlds has been a complete waste of time, just as all prior were. I still haven't enjoyed one game, not a single game has actually be competitive.
Its clear "competitive" league is a joke. The true irony is, it has nothing to do with the fact we all know who is going to win, regional games nor the international ones. Because its when you take into account riots balancing philosophy, you realize there is no point.
They balance in cycles, not to seek true balance. They say they do, but how many posts do you see of players begging riot to only nerf the champ or item instead of both, how many posts do you see begging riot for a different change instead of the "gutting" they do to said champ. While keeping flashing champs never to far out of the meta or always dominant.
So basically, which ever teams are capable of adapting to the meta each shift will always be dominant vs true balance of teams finding their own style of play and being pit against one another. Riot doesn't care who wins and that's good, but its when they literally choose which champs will get played and decide which champs aren't worth seeing, now that is disgusting. All champs should be viable, teams should be allowed to build styles and I think that's when league would truly be great.
Truth is league will never be competitive until riot balances the game. It will never be lasting entertainment until riot accepts this and stops using cycles. As in it would be almost impossible to get bored since you wouldn't see the same champs every match for a patch, you would see EVERY champ eventually with multiple team comps and styles. Not just the ones who are clearly superior to every other one out there. Simply because there would be balance.
and 
(Riot's fault). Poor jungle and support diversity overall (aside the rare niche picks). Double 
is too dominant and suffocate pretty much any other strategy. The early game is now a farming chicken fest, since any aggression get punished heavily.
and 
being perma baned reduce ban choices for red team especially. To top it off, Korea VS Korea finals...
