It's like I'm playing back in S2 were the champion roaster was limited. You have every game on top lane Sett (cause he is new lol) ,Darius,Morde,Ornn on jungle Elise ,ekko ,Lee sin ,on mid qiyana ,akali ,ekko , yasuo, on adc aphelios ,Senna cait and on support Senna Nautilus ,Puke ,Lux or leona. The game has over 140 champions and are played like less than 20. But comes natural with the balance changes I guess ...
I know what you mean. Every game has Lee Sin, Miss Fortune, Thresh, Lucian, Caitlyn, Sett, Kai'Sa, Leona, Ekko, Elise, Nautilus, Nami, Senna, Jhin, Yasuo, Vayne, Blitzcrank, Mordekaiser, Jarvan, Ezreal, Aphelios, Ornn, Pyke, Darius, Morgana, Diana, Lulu, Fiora, Zed, Kha'Zix, Katarina, Fizz, Rek'Sai, Akali, Master Yi, Aatrox, or Xayah. So repetitive.
I agree, I hate laning against Puke aswell.
Here I though the post was about ARurf lol
Doesn’t matter that there is 140+ champions when there are different reasons to play them.
Is a champion trash? Not playing it.
Is a champion boring? Not playing it.
Riot could make Yasuo trash and he would still be spammed in low elo games because he has a fun kit.
Same with the other champs that aren’t broken.
Not every champ is going to get the same amount of attention from the player base.
What season has there been a viable pool greater than 40+ champs if you were serious about climbing?
Hmmm let me check the playrates and NOPE the only role where there is little diversity is jg.
Like pyke isn't popular, lux definitely isn't popular.
Fuck off most roles right now actually are pretty even with someone at the top and then it goes down by a few or more percentages without the only one being jg that have lee sin at a very high amount.
Not sure about other lanes, but I feel top is more diverse than its said to be. Tanks, Bruisers and fighters are all viable picks at the moment.
Sure some are seen far more than others, with Garen, Morde and some others but thats the same with all mobas.
Boring? Depends on the champion. I just faced a Neeko and Kai'sa top lane in my recent matches. Those were really boring lanes and I won those lanes. It's just not interesting to face them compared to someone like Darius, who I rather see more of. Neeko and Kai'sa top lane are definitely very rare picks. Same with Tristana top lane, that is a super boring lane. Darius is a super fun champion. Why wouldn't I want to face him more? Sett is interesting to play against too, he's not a coward so I have nice duels with him. Actually, I find maybe Teemo very boring to lane against. I lane against way too many Teemo's and most of the time I win. I don't want to waste my ban on Teemo.
Just dropping this sad piece of truth, why big part of the community doesn't want certain champs to be played: there are champions, against who it isn't frustrating to play, however at the same time, they are not engaging to play against. For the support role enchanters and champs like 
are kept undertuned, because otherwise they make bot lane passive, which isn't fun to watch on livestream. 
also makes the lane passive, because she can nuke her opponent if she is able to stun him/her. And so the list goes on.
I would say Top Lane is now quite diverse. Mid is assassins now with occasionally some mages. Jungle is currently either 
or 
. ADC is either 
or 
. Support is quite diverse if you don't plan to play traditional supports like enchanters.
simple get higher or lower rated to completely change the champions played in each game :)
Yep You just listed my last 10 games. Mix in a few off roles but for the most part its a mix match of those champs
Game has a lot of problems, but I don't think champion diversity is one of them. I haven't faced the same champion in lane in my past 10 games. Past 20 only Katarina and Viktor twice.
You guys must all have selective sight because the only one I have seen a ton is morde. Sure I might see Senna more than fiddlesticks but that's just how league is. Literally everyone here's day depends on how many times they won today on league so they tryhard the best champs and still lose because they didn't realize qiyana actually takes a brain to play. But leagues playerbase is too tryhard to actually play what they find fun and would rather faceroll with funnel to or smthn
? Who cares what YOU see, If I see teemo a lot I'm not going to say top is ONLY teemo.
I was just stating that these 3 are seen very commonly right now, and wonder oh wonder, share decent (7% Cait) to ridiculous (48% Aphelios) banrates and good playrates.
You also don't need to ban all 3 of them they're not that op. If you think that then you're just lying to yourself.

Lying to myself yea.
Cait is old enough for you to know what makes her toxic
Senna is Cait's problem of ridiculous range, combined with utility of a support kit because she has to be viable in both roles, which is impossible to balance. Her Q spell has more functions than some entire champions' kits.
All you're saying is "I'm biased so please nerfs these champions" when in reality the meta is diverse and you're just ignoring statistics for your own bias.
I never said to nerf these champions. I am fine with Cait, her range just makes her annoying, that's just me.
I am fine with Senna's and Aphelios' damage. What I'm not fine with is their versatility. So many different abilities and mechanics that make them way too oppressive. Every single new champ and rework is like this, save Sett because they wanted to make something simple. Look at 
... and how many of their mechanics they have simply lost or have been adjusted.
You can diversify a meta by making everything deal too much damage, as it is currently happening. But that simply destroys the game balance in all directions.
I'm looking at the statistics, they're saying Aphelios is not wanted by players, according to his 45% banrate. His winrate went under 50% now after multiple nerfs and yet he still feels fucking aids to play against. But I guess I'm just lying to myself and it's actually like heaven to play lane against half hp poke from 1500 range. Or playing against an adc that can heal himself and his support on demand, while poking, with onhit effects and procing passive, and clearing wave, aoe, over 1300 range. In one spell. Guess I'm just lying to myself, yea.
God you people are so fucking annoying. Like look past yourself for once.
Yes. How dare I want to play a game that isn't onesided based on what year the champion the enemy picked was released.
thats how it is with every meta though. there will always be champions that are considered stronger than every other champion based on a number of factors but the main factor being whatever tf korea is playing at any given time ive seen alot of variety though. i mean i saw an urgot today. its been months but i saw one today, i died alot. fun times. im glad hes so bs but no one plays him
I agree except for the fact that people are spamming Sett because he is just straight up broken. Keeping in mind the champion just came out, and people are still learning, he has nearly a 55% win rate and 10% playrate in Plat 4 and above. Imagine what this would increase to if people were actually competent at him. Sorry to hijack your thread, but I do agree with your sentiment. It feels stale.
No.
i don't get matched against the same champions every game.
I heard that complain with urf. Let's make AR Ranked.
i faced a aatrox/malzhar?
Winning is never boring
Top plays different champs all the time, so do midlaners. Lee sin and Ekko are too broken that's why junglers play them almost every game. ADCwise the new ones are so broken they are the only ones getting picked. Supportwise Leo is broken, Naut is still picked but declining and Pyke is just Pyke.
