Feedback Regarding Subs

This hasn't happened to me yet, but it has happened to the players in my league. When a substitution is made, the person who has the player being subbed misses out on potentially game winning/losing points (example: Meteos being switched out for Inori between game 1 and 2).

An easy fix to this would be to draft positions on a team instead of the players. One could argue that there's some strategy involved in deciding who to use, but subs can happen out of nowhere between games without being able to plan for it which can basically lose someone the game. Along with this, I would include pictures of both people on the position to make it clear that you're getting both. Hope this becomes a thing, but this section doesn't seem to get a lot of attention.

I too had the Meteos/Inori problem, and it could be the decider in an extremely close matchup so far. Another guy in my league is constantly dealing with the Ray/Impact swap. I really don't see how fighting through these random substitutions constitutes strategy or an interesting twist in Fantasy LCS. To me, it really just seems like a problem that could be fixed with something like your solution. The fact that two of the top three teams have positions that are simply "un-startable" due to the situations there is problematic.

I'm currently dealing with the Impact/Ray conundrum and it's really irritating. When I originally drafted, I placed a heavy emphasis in first picking Impact due to his consistent points. However, the sub issue has made it difficult for me to see the value in Impact anymore.

Honestly, it's very tilting seeing that there are limited EU options (due to their group format), meaning that there is a higher emphasis on elite NA players.

The worst thing is when the teams randomly sub whenever they want. We, as fantasy LCS players, have absolutely no knowledge of any subs and thus can't change our lineup before the roster lock.
