Nomadic Demon49 voteswaits patiently for Moriuz to post his story :D
Lord Moriuz156 votesInstead of a story, I wanted to talk to you guys about something (don't worry, I won't do this again. There will be a story on Thursday. I just felt the need to have a conversation, I hope you guys don't mind).
I saw that the All-Star Pick 10 results were revealed, I was really excited to see what teams they were going to play. After all, this was our chance to pretty much force pro-players to play some of the rarer champions like Poppy, Urgot, Viktor, Sion, Skarner (440 RP)... Hell, I was sure Brand would be picked for the FIRE team or Cryocore Brand (487 RP) for the ICE team.
And then I was extremely disappointed to see that people voted for the most generic, overplayed champions: not only are Thresh, Lucian and Lee Sin on BOTH teams, but people voted for Ezreal AGAIN. I mean, he won the votes for the Hexakill URF champion (which means he'll already be played by two players in Hexakill URF, but now they chose him again?)
So, can someone explain to me why these champs were chosen? If any of you voted for these champs, can you tell me what was your thought process?
I just honestly don't understand how, if those champions get picked in the LCS all the freaking time, people want to see them being played again? Wouldn't it be, you know, more fun to see a pro finally play Fiora (487 RP) or even freaking Teemo?
UYXDYM2SIo66 votes110% Agreed Moriuz, watching some diversity in champion would be great, common is boring, why not go to the "unrevealed" and try out new team compositions etc , sorry for bad english
Edit: You mentioned a "urgot" in your comment, what is an "urgot"?
Lord Moriuz48 votesIndeed. All-Stars is supposed to be for fun, yet people voted for the champions that the pros would've probably picked anyway.
It's like, we had ONE chance to see something new, and it was ruined.
Flamingblade10125 votesWhat if rito banned the champs that we picked! :'( if only rito did this
UYXDYM2SIo10 votesI was here trying to figure out a comment to say about the reasons of players not choosing rarely seen champion, but it just doesnt come to my mind why not, I garantee It would be alot fun to see Pro players play champions that I bet they dont play that often! (Champions That basically arent seen at all in Ranked SoloQ/"Professional" Games.... again sorry for my bad english!
RobotEthanMars8 votesLuckily, we still have the show matches from Korea's all star event from earlier this year. They got to pick their champs, and actually picked a lot of fun, unusual things.
Lord Moriuz12 votes@RobotEthanMars YES! When CJ Entus and Najin Black Sword played URF, they picked fun stuff like Poppy, Yorick and Mordehuehue.
But nah, people wanted to see Thresh being played for the millionth time.
noediG1216 votesI voted for Poopy...
Lord Moriuz22 votesMe too =(
As far as I remember, I put Poopy, Brand, Sion, Viktor, Urgot (hoping that at least one of those would make it)
RobotEthanMars14 votesI think I voted Anivia, Blitzcrank, Sion, Urgot, Ashe, Galio, Nasus, Warwick, Heimerdinger, and Poppy. Would have been so much better.
DougMcquiaid10 votesI'm not sure why these champions were decided, I agree with you, I thought it was going to be more of a mash up of silly champions. But on that same note those champions are very popular and people love watching pros play them. It's a bit sad, I was hoping for some veigar action or something funnier along those lines.
Lord Moriuz12 votesI know! I honestly would've enjoyed to see someone like Garen or Fiora. Cause even if I don't play them that often, pros don't really play them either, so I'd love to see what they do with them.
I must say I'm shocked that Teemo wasn't picked. People are always telling the pros to troll-pick Teemo, yet when they have the chance to FORCE them to play Teemo, they don't vote for him?
Toothy Walrus13 votesI agree. Its weird. Its like people feel like if they don't pick these champs, then the team will suffer for it. I remember when I first started watching the League games. It was awesome to see the pros play the champs I liked (obviously much better). Now, however, its the same champs over and over again. Its still fun to watch, but I wonder if there is a way to mix things up and make players choose different champs.
UYXDYM2SIo5 votes^ There, you said it all! =)
Lord Moriuz22 votesThat's true: Maybe the team would suffer if, say, team Fire gets Urgot and team Ice gets a more viable adc.
But that's the thing: all-stars is supposed to be for fun. These matches are supposed to be entertaining and stuff. I want team Fire to win cause, you know, they have Diamond, Burger King and Toyz. But even if they lose, I'm pretty sure I'd enjoy the matches!
xXMETAmahnXx3 votesMoriuz, you are our last hope. You must take the spirit of League and become the one to save us all.
OblongOtter10 votesI picked urgot. I also tried to subtly force Kass jungle.
Dirkk Diggler10 votesI fully agree Moriuz. I think they picked the generic champs because they "want to see their player/team" win because they certainly didn't pick the underplayed/fun/exciting/interesting/unique ones that don't see tourney play. I would have loved to see something like Poppy, Urgot, Brand, insert never picked in LCS champ here name, over Thresh and Lucien/Ez.
Lord Moriuz10 votesI know... It just sucks that people don't realize All-Stars is for fun, and nothing will happen if your team loses.
Elfalas7 votesAsia has the majority of League players so China/Korea basically control the all star voting. The Chinese server especially is known for Obama (Lucian) jokes.
Lord Moriuz13 votesI guess that's true. Even if all of NA voted for Poppy or Urgot, if China votes for Lucian and Thresh, they will win just due to sheer number of votes.
They should've grabbed the top 20 from each region, for each team, and then make the top 10 from there.
lightdragoon8814 votesSuch a disappointment. I voted Skarner, Poppy, Yorick, and Malzahar.
Seeing Thresh, Lee sin, Lucian, and Ezreal I was like...wtf...
Pepsi Sparkle10 votesI voted for Fiora, I love Fiora, and I would LOVE to see her played by the challenger tier summoners..
I also voted for Zilean, Viktor, and Jayce, among others.
I didn't think people would vote for Tresh or Lee Sin, or anyone like that, because they're played ALL the time..
This was our chance to see the pros play something different and display how good a champion could be if played with skill.. Guess the community just wants to see the most common champions ( champions that literally everyone plays ) played AGAIN..
Disappointing, really.. I really wanted to see one of them play Taric or Quinn.. Even Teemo would have been better than those three, who are already played in many professional matches, and normal matches as well..
Lord Moriuz5 votesI know. It's like, the pros would've picked Thresh or Lucian anyway (since they pick them ALL THE TIME).
So, why did people vote for the champs that the pros would've chosen anyway?
Pepsi Sparkle7 votesYou know what, I think that if they got to choose their champions, they'd have picked a lot better champions than the community. They know the match is just for fun, I don't think they'd go all HAM and choose the champions they main.
Fycus3 votesI agree too. I like seeing some of the less generic picks like maybe Rumble, Yorick, and some others. Yes both of the champs I've mentioned were popular in 2013 but almost no one plays them any more.
pericarditis4 votesVery disappointed by the line-up. I would have loved to see Urgot or Kog'Maw in action. Also Swain and Zac. I think the only Zac I've ever seen was once in an ARAM.
Dominating One9 votesMaybe Riot manipulated the Voting :O
Kikanolo8 votesI voted for a full assassin team of Talon, Kat, Zed, Akali, and Fiora on both teams, but the fact the both final teams have Lucian, Leesin, and Thresh is just sad imo.
Tcalogan10 votesI voted for Brand, Fiora, The One Who Dongs, Poopy, Rammus, Shaco, Sion, and Vel'Koz. I wanted all the champions not played on a full professional level to be played then :c. I also voted for Lux on both teams because she's one of my favorited champions, but never gets played.
Nomad2407 votesI voted for the theme. Ice champs like Trundle and Sej and lissandra for Ice.

what is an Urgot? Adc 
surprise party scarecrow support and 
machine gun evelynn jungle but nooo. Only popular champs and a mirror gameTheHibernator3 votesI agree as most people do, but I'm wondering why no one who voted for these champions are defending their picks. I'm thinking Riot should have required that summoners be ranked in Season 4 in order to vote. Not get the level 8s that can never afford Thresh or Lucian to finally see their desired champions in action (yes, yes, I know they're seen in the LCS all the time). Also, perhaps if Riot presented us choices of picking from pre-made teams (showing us a list of teams, maybe 5-10) and having the community vote from those. Just thoughts for the future. Overall really disappointing. Really wanted Shaco in there :'(
TheSequelsRBad5 votesAs someone who voted for a lot of the champions picked, and seeing everyone hating on the choices for pick-10, I felt I should explain why I voted as I did. My reason was simply that I wanted to see pro players like doublelift or bjergsen, play the champions that they are famous for against other pro players playing their own iconic champions. I mean who doesnt want to see doublelift on vayne playing with madlife on thresh or blitzcrank? And while I can understand why people would want to see champions like fiora or urgot in competative play,I personally wanted to see champions the players were famous for more. This is my opinion and I respect yours
TheMilkMan193 votes
i voted for fiora
ValorOfArms4 votesI figured it out, nobody wants that they just are boring un-innovated people now , welcome to humanity "boring" just wanna watch things repeat like dorks

Captain Batch8 votesLook with your special eyes!
Steve Esquire4 votesJust realized that there is actually no champs with normal glasses on their normal skin 
are the closest to glasses, but they all look like they're goggles and sunglasses to me.
Also 
seems relevant here.
Flamingblade1016 votesCryocore Brand on sale... The hadoukens are coming.
Lord Moriuz6 votesOne day I played Cryocore Brand in the Howling Abyss. It was good cause the enemies couldn't see your shots, but then again, I couldn't see my skills either XD
UYXDYM2SIo5 votesAn awesome idea just came to my mind, so imagine there was a mode where it was an Arena, 5v5 where all players didnt respawn after they died, and it was basically an arena to train team fights, it could consist in like 5 rounds for example, and players would win a round by having the last person/s standing on their team :o
