the champ pool seems to be shorter than ever before. like literally, there are played only 4 champs on each role. top : rumble kennen poppy jayce jungle : olaf reksai lee elise mid : viktor syndra ryze cassiopeia adc : ezreal caitlyn jhin sivir support : alistar nami karma tahm kench.

Anyway, why are assassins absent from these pro games ? Does it mean they are too nerfed ? i wanna see some fizz mid. let syndra open, and pick fizz xd

I don't care if its the same champion pool in the games. Some of these games have been so amazing to watch. This is probably some of the best matches that I have watched in awhile. I mean, there are countless games near or over the 1 hour point!

This is just crazy to think of when the average game time for most of these teams is around 30-40 minutes or so.

So I don't know what you are talking about with it being boring. It is so intense.

Very boring games and the team comps are uncreative. I watched yesterday some replays from DOTA tournaments - way more creative team comps and more teamfights. 6 seasons ADCs are in every game, RIOT, pls.

because assassins are pub stomping characters. anybody who complains about an assassin are just low elo scrubs or solo queue warriors who don't actually know a thing about team play.

I agree but the champ pool has been garbage for a while now. I can't fault the teams for playing the best champs that gives them the edge in each match but I think if riot doesn't step it up then their competitive scene, as far as viewers at least, will drop.

I would really love to see a setup that only allows each team to pick each champ once per series, forcing them to dig deep into the champ pool and making picks and bans/drafts fun to watch.

That's just how Worlds works. You must be new. People complain about this every year, but it won't be stopped. There's really no point in stopping it, as that would require large buffs to other champions that are already becoming problems in the lower ELOs.

Sometimes you get picks like FIzz and Veigar in the invitationals and other competitions, but usually not in Worlds.

Think of it like basketball: Isn't it so boring that almost everyone playing in the NBA is tall?

Personally I agree that worlds is just the same 4 champions per role. UoL was a good team with creative picks (TF JG, etc) which is why I believe they were so popular

seeing nidalee 100% pick ban is very boring.
