Champion roster changes.

I think its pretty clear at this point that Riot only wants certain champs played in ranked games. Lets be honest here, viegar, cass, poppy, zilean, heimer, urgot, ect... they'll never be 'up to par' and if they ever were riot would nerf them until they aren't. And lee, zed, ect... will always be more powerful. Why not just remove the 'unwanted' champs from the ranked roster. That way there is none of this 'miscommunication'. You can leave them in for normals or other game modes, it doesn't matter if you balance them properly or not (because clearly you have riot has no intention of ever balancing them). It'd be simple, they could pick their favorite 30 or so champs for ranked, and the rest are just 'fun' champs.

First of all Cassiopeia is actually good after her last buff since her passive now will max stack around 80% of the games. She is a huge pain to deal with.

Second, have you heard of true mains? people that are sooo good with a single champion that they can overcome and outsmart even more overpowered champions. I only play 3 champions mid, Annie, Katarina and Diana. No matter what are the op champions for every patch I always play the same champions. Even if I get on a weird Annie vs Brand scenario I do decent since I'm so comfortable with her. Skill > kits

To be honest, there are more true mains then "LCS copycats"

True mains use who they are good with, regardless of balance or LCS stats.

You want to know the main difference? Generally the true mains actually climb more often then not since they are using champions they are actually good with instead of whats "top tier"

Heck I have a friend who climbed to platinum last season WITH GAREN simply because he knows what he's doing with the champion.

Ever seen an Urgot in a game? Basically whenever one shows up, 9 times out of 10 it's a main player and they are terrifying.
