Strategic Diversity is being undone
While this season started with a huge champion pool of viable picks and strategies it has been whittled down more and more through the season.
I believe this is from the undermining of pre-existing champs, for example
Why risk
or
or
or
for a brutal stun on enemy players when you can do it on
more often with less risk.
Why play
when you can buy a warmogs.
Ganking is much easier and successful to the point that unless you have high dmg like
or mobility like
it is too risky, especially against snowballers like
.
Once one champion has begun to snowball it is incredibly hard to work objectives because you cannot sneak barons or dragons with timers and global sounds.
? Or
? Hell, I've seen about 6 people take elixers ever since they came out.
