SKT T1 was using JG, now with the new nerfs that he recently got, what next? now they have to re-adjust all their hard work into making Graves work in their composition or replace him with another JG, this is not good, how would you feel if our pro players stop playing champions that Riot nerfs? it's frustrating and then in LCS we dont see Graves or other champs anymore... i mean this is a joke, how do pro players adjust to significant balance changes every 1-2 weeks, that's fkn stressful, oh and got hit too.... nobody is going to play her anymore i mean... c'mon

I mean this isn't anything new. Champs that reach pick/ban status in LCS almost always get nerfed. Good teams are able to work around this and find new champs that work.

I'm willing to bet that the pros understand that this game flows. They're ability to adapt is what got them there in the first place. Besides, who are you to speak in the place of others?

True.Riot is hurting good teams.

And these pro players all know all the champs, and can easily change champs.

If you think they don't know who to play in case their op preferred is banned/changed then you don't know how good they are.

Implying these professionals haven't dealt with and adapted to way more harsh changes in the past

Graves and Fiora NEEDED to eat shit though.

OK, Riot is doing that. How is that a bad thing?

I wouldn't blame Riot for stuff like this, it's all the people that watch the LCS and then play only champions they see in the LCS. Anytime a champion who almost never sees play randomly gets picked in a few LCS games then everyone else picks them because they just want to play what the pros play.

I'll just stick with my usual champion pool of Anivia Shyvana Kennen Lulu Aatrox Akali Varus Velkoz
