I'll tell you what losing at Champ Select looks like:

Riven Talon Kayn Jhin Rakan

75% of my games in Normals lately have looked like a variation of this nonsense. Maybe switch one or 2 of the above with Zed/Lee.

The worst team I've had thus-far is: Riven MasterYi Yasuo Vayne

I was the support that game and I just dodged.

I'm surprised at how these mobility flashy characters are the most popular (squishy, don't really have any AOE, and take a ton of time to practice to do anything)

Like I've always naturally been drawn towards AOE artillery style characters and battle tanks. But so many games go without them.

Everyone wants to be famous so the flashiest champ will be played.

their late games SUCK though. Flashy as hell but easy to embarrass yourself too. =)

Also, its so much more satisfying just standing back as someone like Viktor and BLASTING them with lasers and force fields...

Agreed. Tanks and artillery/utility mages are probably my favourite classes and I've never understood the appeal of squishy low-utility melee damage-dealers.

Why bother picking them when other champions are far more useful and reliable? I don't even find them particularly fun to play.

Though it's hilarious watching them complain about no-skill champions when they die to a Malzahar's Nether Grasp.

You said it yourself. MOBILITY and FLASHY.

Kids love flashy things. Because they've seen gosu, box box, Cowsep and co. montages and it looks SOO COOOL MAAAAAN... so they have to pick it and be as flashy and 65/2/4 as those cool people so they can also be YT stars!!!

And then they feed, rage and flame because they have no idea how to play this game and have 0 basics. :/

Team comps don't actually matter in Silver 5.

well in SOME games they can have a deterministic effect

While I was there tons of games were lost even though I was sure our team had the better players mechanically due to team comp

since it has a tendency to devolve into ARAM and disorganised picks, the side that has the engage tanks or the better AOE poke/catch will tend to win... generally if your team is full of melee divers and assassins with no tank or AOE, you're in for a bad game
