champ select blunders - stop making them

Even in plat I frequently see people not know how to pick champions.

Remember, the game starts at champ select. It doesn't start when you buy your items or go to lane. Frequently, games ARE decided at champ select.

A few very bad picks:

  1. 4 melees + ADC.

  2. 3 pokeless melee champs + low range ADC + assassin mid

  3. No tank with more than 1 escapeless squishy.

  4. More than 3 gold hungry champs. That includes some supports who need to snowball to be relevant like Annie, carry junglers, carry tops and assassin mids. Ideally, you should only have 2-3 gold hungry champs on a team, with the less gold hungry champs being harder carries.

  5. Picking the wrong team comp. If you have a protect-the-carry style teamcomp with a utility mid and tanky top/jungle, stop picking Lucian Corki Graves , as they can't solo carry. Pick KogMaw Vayne Tristana Caitlyn Jinx instead.

  6. All AD team.

  7. A team with less than 3 hard CC spells total.

  8. A team with less than 5 AOE damage spells total.

6 . All AD team.

As a tank main, this is when I lick my lips and start stacking Thornmails.
