LCS Logic for Riot

So LCS, there's a lot of counterpicking, the most recent and popular one is mf going into zyra. But whats the logic behind counterpicking, and why shouldn't everyone just be able to play champions that counter other already picked champs? Heres team selection: Team 1: 1 pick Team 2: 2 picks, 1 counter Team 1: 2 picks, 2 counters Team 2: 2 picks, 2 counters Team 1: 2 picks, 2 counters Team 2: 1 picks, 1 counter So everything looks good right? Except Team 2 gets 5 counterpicks while Team 1 gets 4. Now lets keep going on this.

Impact on the game goes from JG>Mid>Top>Bot/sup (according to a high level player) So Right off the bat, it's better to be team2 than team1. Then, Team 1 has to choose 3 roles, likely Bot, sup, and top. The top/sup is more likely chosen first unless an ADC is going to be contested, and will normally have all 3 chosen by second pick. Team 1 then has 2 picks to counter everything but the jungler (normally, unless contested jungle pick). Then Team 2 gets the last pick, and the most impactful one since it's the jungler (can be tank, diver, , etc. and is more impactful than ever since it's no longer the gragas/reksai meta) Team 2 gets a safe botlane pick 66.6666666% of the time since one member of the botlane has been picked already and there aren't many jinx top picks in LCS Team 1 then gets 2 picks, ending off with the top bot and sup mostly, giving team 2 a crucial toplane counter (which sometime matters, sometimes doesn't in the case of poppy getting screwed willingly) And Team 2 chooses a midlaner (mostly). Team 1 has to now choose their jungler AND their midlaner before Team 2s jungler, and since midlaners dont/can't get zoned as hard as toplaners, it's less of a disadvantage in laning. Team 2 then gets a jungler counterpicking the jg/top combo or the jg/mid combo (search "champ select trapping" which is basically choosing an ap heavy mid and an ad heavy jungler or an ad heavy top and a to combat the toplane poppy (sadlife, got counterpicked twice) So Team 2 gets a pretty damn obvious advantage in picking. And since Team 2 gets 1st, 3rd, and 5th, they get an advantage in 60% of games. And if Team2 is a good laning team, then they have a higher chance of winning just like brand kennen orianna MF and malphite jg have a higher chance of winning in bronze v
