Ways to make League more fun to play and more fun to watch.
My biggest gripe here, is that the LCS is incredibly boring to watch. The same champions used nearly every game, no matter what teams are playing. Rarely do we get something that is weird and never before seen, and only then does it really get interesting for me. There are other things that I have problems with, in playing and watching pros, and I will go over them now.
5 Bans per team: I do not see any reason why there should not be 5 bans per team, especially when the new banning system with Dynamic Queue was introduced. Everyone gets a ban, everyone gets to get rid of a champion they don't want to fight. I'm not saying put in the same system as DotA, but with as many champions that are imbalanced at any given time, 10 bans seems a lot more fitting than 6. Transitioning into pro play, this would force a lot more diversity in champion picks. And Riot, you can't use, "but some champions would never see play then." as an excuse. First of all, that's your fault for how you designed/tweaked them. Second, there are over 130 champions. Banning 10 is barely anything. Lastly, there are champions that never see play because just because they are who they are.
The Meta: This is an unfortunate side effect of the game, and to change the game so that there is no meta would require more than just a couple tweaks. Dissolving the meta would guarantee that almost every game would be different. More champions would see play. More, never seen before compositions would be used, and things would get a whole lot more interesting. Unfortunately, I don't think that the meta could ever truly be dissolved, but this is more of a personal gripe I have because of people giving me shit for trying something new. Yes, even in normals. Can't do AI either, considering the hardest DoomBots weren't even difficult.
Flash: Remove this god awful summoner spell from the game. This can easily be replace by items like protobelt, and hopefully others in the future. Removing flash would drastically change the game, and for the better. People would have to get smarter. The plays would become a lot more intricate and interesting. The general level of play would just skyrocket. No longer would people have flash to engage, or to escape their engage. Thing would have to be planned a lot more, instead of just flash, BAM. An excuse against this: Non mobile champions would no longer be played. Wrong, they would still be played. Flash wouldn't make them non viable. A mobile champion's flash is negated by the mobile champion's flash anyways. When nearly every single person takes flash, I think there is a problem with it.
Assassins: I know they are next to be reworked, but this is just some tips for that. Assassins are not burst casters. Just because they might have high single target damage, shouldn't be what makes them an assassin. Assassins are highly mobile and subversive individuals who use their mobility, positioning, and utility to execute their target. They don't go: "HUR DE HUR! I GOT TONS OF DAMAGE! IMA RUN IN AND KILL PEOPLE!" Like a lot of the assassins do now. As an additional note. Assassins should excel in the jungle. Very few do right now.
