I'd find the games a lot more interesting if there were some unusual picks played.
Only way I can see that happening is to randomly roll a pool of 40 or so champions (four of each role) out of the 100+ available. Let the teams select from that randomized pool and we're off to far more interesting match-ups and strategies.

Any fan of the LCS knows that's the point of the LCS; pick strong champions, play them and try to win.
Anytime I get annoyed about champion diversity I just go on youtube type in a certain champion that I want to see be played and watch one of the many thousands videos about that champion.
Serenity Now1 votesWithout fans, there's no market for professionals to play in. I'm expressing boredom and what it would take for me to watch eSports.
III BAKURYU III 1 votesI understand your complaints but it's nothing new with fans complaining as the 2014 year there were limited champion pool and so were the 2015 and 2016 years and fans expressing their feelings towards it and yet the viewership and live attendance keeps on growing, so if 1 or 300 hundreds fans leave it wouldn't really hurt the LCS market as there will always be viewers of the LCS and I'm sure the game itself plays a big factor in player paychecks etc.
Like I said I truly do understand what you're saying but it's no different from what player X said 4 or 5 years ago.
VivaLaKitten1 votesthat already ruined urf, it doesn't need to ruin normals
ElfOfTheDesert2 votesURF is Garbage, and this is in the Epsorts section so the OP was clearly wanting the LCS to do this not normal players.
VivaLaKitten1 votesI would listen what you have to say, but youre just another person who downvotes anyone who enjoys a fun gamemode on a video game meant for having fun

Wh1teWu1f1 votesThis could technically hurt match-ups though, couldn't it? If Team A went against Team B, and the pool favored Team B, and then Team C went against Team B, but the pool favored Team C (or nobody), then Team A could get placed lower than Team C, when it might've just been RNG screwing Team A in their match against Team B.
Serenity Now1 votesDepends. Do we value the ability for a team to adapt more or less than the ability to master a small number of champions?
