Why you shouldn't be mad at Riot for less than 50% of Champs being played in LCS

People really get upset about seeing >50% of champions played in LCS but we all need to take a moment to understand that what pros pick doesn't equal the only thing that is strong or viable. What pros pick is consistency. They pick champs that can consistently farm and play safely under almost any circumstance. Let's take Cho'Gath for example. He is a perfectly viable and even strong pick and solo queue, is naturally very tanky, has lots of damage, a crap ton of cc and can freeze and sustain lanes into oblivion if he chooses. Great champion actually, I nearly lost a four versus five the other game (I was the five) because of a Cho'Gath. But, Cho won't be able to succeed what so ever against certain top laners like Lee Sin or maybe Fiora or something else like a teemo (God help us all). And, if Cho falls to far behind in lane, he can't stack his ult and then can't become strong as a result. Does this mean YOU can't play cho and win? No. BUT you probably won't see cho picked over something like gnar or maokai in LCS because both of those champs will useful and relevant if they are counter picked or lose lane really really hard. Lee Sin is another great example of an LCS champ. Is he even really remotely over powered in soloqueue? Not really. Despite the QQ Lee Sin threads, he actually isn't that strong of a carry. He can deal damage, but has to get fed. He can build tank, but to get really tanky he has to have a lot of items. He can have high mobility and assassin potential but it purely rely's on the ability to outplay your opponent. He is actually relative balanced BUT, there are few games where a Lee Sin will perform badly, especially if you are good with him because of his high mobility and utility and his strong early game which helps to prevent him from getting shut down. He will rarely ever lose early heavily and will transition to late well almost no matter what but will he be OP and carry his whole team? No, most likely not. If you do see one carry, respect that guy because he is just good and would carry if he decided to main any other half decent champ.

TL;DR LCS is not = to viability. LCS= Consistency. Riot can't help that, some champs will just be more consistent than others because of their kits and the purpose of each champion.

Edit- Here is a good post about the idea of specialist champions. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/b6qPWdyT-a-plea-to-riot-consider-the-alternative This is what I'm talking about when I say consistency, there are champions that are generally more successful, even if a specialist can perform a certain role. The generally good ones are just picked more because they are a safe pick.
