LCS is terrible.

LCS games are slow and determined within the first 15 minutes of the match and then the game ends up dragging on for another 30 minutes where the team behind has almost no chance at coming back. You never see a "death bush" anymore and rarely a baron steal. Even if baron gets stolen it just delays the game another 10 minutes. Teams are giving up dragons instead of fighting for it. 2v1 ganks get punished because the other team will take a tower which has more value over a kill. Nothing ever happens early game because of the early ward coddling.

I bet Lee Sin's ult is going to work on towers pretty soon.

Its almost as if this company is balancing their champion roster for #LCSbigplays and balancing the rest of the game to take towers.

LoL is going downhill fast in pretty much every single aspect.

The game isn't decided in 15 minutes. TSM beat CLG after they were way behind. Plus, they snowball their leads so they can win. It's just how you play the game. Would you give the enemy team a chance back in the game?

Honestly the main issue with the LCS is that all the hyper mobile champs in the game right now are supper safe. So it's almost impossible to cash in one someone's mistake like a miss-position. Add in the fact that champions at the top tier are generalist, team comps can be built out of almost anything. This leads to teams being able to just counter every type of game plan.

"You never see a "death bush" anymore" To be fair, if you're referring to what I THINK you are. I'd be surprised if those ever happened (why would a pro player risk walking into an unwarded bush? If they know its very possible for there to be one or more enemies in wait for them)

I feel theres a Garen meme somewhere, but im just not seeing it.

Important to also note that even before Season 4 bought those ward changes, pros still bought wards early in the game, so it didn't really change too much for them in terms of early vision.

Well I watch most games from all regions at work.. and I can tell you LCS isn't that boring. I think NA, Korea, and OCE are the most entertaining to watch. Korea for the mechanics, NA for the players and drama, and OCE is just funny to watch IMO its like gold/plat soloq and the meta is so much different than other regions :)
