I feel like LCS is going to have the same 4 rotation of junglers

The jungle is so dominant in ganking and early game power combined with the diver class being exceptionally strong, its going to be stale >_>

Gragas Reksai Elise Lee?

Or are Gragas/Reksai being replaced by Nidalee/something else?

Actually, the jungle is so dominant a role at the moment is likely to be the opposite. We should have quite a bit of jungle diversity this season because most everything in the jungle is incredibly broken and we have 10 bans now.

Each of these champs will show up this year in a big way is my guess:

Hecarim Zac Graves Gragas RekSai Elise Evelynn Ekko Nidalee Olaf Nocturne Skarner Rengar Khazix

In fact I fully expect jungle to be the most diverse role this season because of just how OP everything is in the jungle atm.

3 bans before anyone picks and then after each team has picked 3 champs 2 more bans for each side before the final 2 champs are picked for each side.

They are not going to be able to out right ban 10 junglers. They will however be able to make target banning a position force the other team to pick it sooner rather then later.

Yep and this is what should increase diversity. Ok he picked this one this time when we tried to ban him out by banning Rek, Elise and Nid, lets leave out Nid this time since we have first pick and make our last ban the one he just picked.

The only real stranglehold for jg diversity in pro play this year is how much better at doing pro things the God Tier junglers are. It will depend on how many of them are banned in the initial phases each match as to how many of the Top Tier junglers we see over the season.

Evelynn Skarner Nocturne ?

Haven't seen these guys often, are they really broken? I mean, Heca level of broken?

No, not in the same class as the god Tier junglers (elise, Lee, rek, heca, zac) but pretty firmly in the second tier with the others from that list, even if they are at the lower end of that tier at the moment.

But each of these champs is viable and has specific niche merits that mean they should all see play some this year, even if some are used in a more specialized and gameplanned manner.
