I experienced that with cho'gath.
Then riot buffed him.
Then he stopped being played.
I don't understand life sometimes.

Cho'Gath doesn't fulfill too many power fantasies. Also he ugleh. And this season's items are not top-shelf for him.
But he's still my favorite top-laner.
I agree, I don't mind him because he reminds me of the old godzilla movies.

Ahhh godzilla
The appeal to Cho'Gath is just how... Simplistic his playstyle is. You just kinda waddle into the enemy team, hit your Q and if you hit somebody, they are now fucked for the next five seconds.
LCS? Whats that?
Aatrox has been played in lcs before
Yep, But it was a long time ago
T_T
he isn't even allowed in the game anymore now...
He needs tanky stats or reliable engage. Or both. any change that makes him not rely only on AAs
you mean like Yi and Yasuo?
Yep, both Alpha strike and sweeping blade are made to keep up with the enemy. When you Q in with aatrox i feel like if you miss for like one pixel, the enemy is gone I didn't do anything useful
Garen might not be an LCS pick, but he will forever be the king of Silver and below bushes
You seem to forget about post rework zombie Garen, and how he spin to wins the villain who killed him.
Last time I saw
in a match she was pretty devastating. Granted that was in ARAM 4-5 patches ago, but I don't recall any major nerfs aside from allies being able to assist vesseled champs with their tentacle issues.
All true my friend, she can rekt everyone if left unchecked. she even got a buff on the E recently. But on LCS she couldnt survive the constant coordinated ganks pre level 6. And late games she probably has a bad TP pressure compared to other top laners.
Don't worry,
is constantly used in the LCS and she's still broken.
Someone's playing me? What sorcery is this?
Zyra needs so much love, it's ridiculous. I hope Riot does something with her soon. I miss seeing Zyra :/
Supposedly there's a rework or some buffs in the works for her, but they're not going to be here until summer at least.
Forever safe from nerfs!

Never safe from the re-work monster, i believe . Rip shaco mains :/
shaco main = shaclone and pink ward
..... I think I'm safe, given tanks are 99% of support choices on that level.
is unfortunately not valued enough over
to be played in the LCS lol.
what anime is this?
Valkyria Chronicles
The game was on sale on Steam this weekend i heard.

Any good? I got it from Humble Bundle but haven't touched it yet.
it's extremely good.
Ha
will never be picked in the LCS, she'll be safe from nerfs
One Marksman Update Later
Shit
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no one plays 
yet he's getting "updated" aka gutted
i know... but there's always the chance that they'll make him op instead of up
When I mained
back in Season 5:
Teammates: Wow man! I love those skills you got! So glad Riot didn't nerf him :D
When I started playing
again after he was seen more than twice in LCS:
Riot: Here's an overdued nerf on his E. Enjoy!
Please don't touch my precious mini Bowser.
too late. In the history of LoL, everythime Rammus was used in competive play, he was nerfed short after, he is just to simple and boring to watch, RIOT doesnt want champions like this in LCS.
Still waiting for them. Come on Riot, i know you want to.
Every time I see my Sovereign in LCS, I cry and turn it off.
Like if you are going to pick something, at least make sure you can play it.
TSM has won every match with her so far.
Back when I stopped watching LCS altogether, Syndra was at like 1/5.
Ha! Like anyone would ever play
in the LCS. They tried it once and they'll never use him again!!! MUAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
Twas a sad day when
first showed in LCS in a meta he was weak in
Twas a sadder day when he returned several times including a few weeks ago
When
first appeared, I thought it was a blessing. A chance to show the fools that yes, there WAS an immobile mage who could fight against assassins. When he became a staple pick after his rework, I was horrified but he wasn't nerfed for so long...NOW in the most recent patch his Death Ray, his signature ability, was nerfed. Why? Oh because apparently lazoring down enemy teams with good positioning and waveclearing vs assassins who can insta-kill him is not interactive
When
first got his buffs I was terrified. I'd played him nonstop until then to know his power, but I knew it was only a matter of time for him to appear in LCS after his buffs. Well, they happened and now he's a permaban in ranked even after his recent nerfs
When
first appeared, well I knew it was nerfing time. He lost, but he got fed. Enough reason for Rito to start laying down the nerfs
In season 3
was the MVP of the world finals. Nerfing time happened, then he showed up here and there annnnnd just got nerfed again
Well...we know what happened to this poor guy after his rework, along with
even though I didn't play her
I think these are self-explanatory
When
appeared to fight back against the top lane domination of
but wasn't destroyed I was glad. Then a year later he re-appeared and his splitpushing power was destroyed, as well as his post-6 pressure.
But most tragic of all for me:
When he got fed in the season 3 world finals, I knew it was banning and then gutting time. Didn't matter that he lost, he appeared about 2-3 times before in other games and got fed in the finals. This entire time, the midlane was ruled by 
and sometimes
or
would appear and
was queen of bot lane. In this time, the term "cancer", "OP", "BS" was thrown around at all of these champions. Some of these statements were deserved, others not.
However, there was only champion who could possibly hold his ground against them all, one champion who had been considered a trollpick for years, one champion who could defeat all of these "Cancer" champions it was
. He couldn't win his damn lane against half of them, but he could still grow into a threat himself lategame, either by shutting down the enemy mid with his silence, or by diving and killing the backline. Soon after he proved to be extremely effective in the meta and here came the rework.
When he was reworked, I was sad but determined to not give up. Soon I learned to play the new
, though a shell of his former self I could definitely manage a semblance of some success.
When he got buffed because he was "weak" I was glad. Then he appeared in LPL and LCS again and the nerfs piled on until he got gutted.
I'm so afraid...
I don't have to worry, I don't think the pros will ever find themselves thinking "I'm going to use
in LCS this year :D". Unless he gets some big changes when riot goes to update either assassins or initiating fighters (2 of the 3 roles riot is considering after the mage update), He won't likely see LCS any time soon.
