we need to see a NON META Tournament where all meta picks are automatically banned apart from the banning phase. That would be interesting.

It would be easier to have a nemesis draft than having to judge what is meta or not imo

Wouldn't it just be a tournament with it's own meta ?

[@askingwhyisfree7436]

@@porigonopop the keyword is "more interesting". Another possible variety is to pick 30 randomly picked champions from the champ pool and let players play around it. It would enable unplayed champs to be played in the tournament without the disadvantage of being underpowered because the OP meta champs are already banned.

[@mattynotfatty]

[@FuixOne]

While Vayne mid is off-meta its probably the BEST pick considering your comp and enemy comp. If they pick ANYTHING else they will struggle immensly to actually kill the enemy team, and this only gets harder as the game goes on. Sivir is obviously known for her lack of damage, you have a chogath in the toplane, trundle jgl(which can shutdown 1 tank at most), and braum support. Vayne saved that draft.

The game is so unbalanced that when a Teemo is picked, it's assumed a mistake/error. Classic really

[@surumeman7195]

[@devilix123987]

I have to agree, i think it is a bit unfair for a group of champions to be in a state where they are assumed to be a mistake or joke pick. I'm MUCH more of a league player than a dota 2 player, but i do appreciate the idealogy of "if everything is broken, then everything is balanced" rather than league's clear hierarchy deeming some champions "unplayable" at higher levels of play.

[@surumeman7195]

@@devilix123987 Joke character is fine to exist, and teemo is meant to be a joke character.

[@MEGASTRIX]

I kinda agree but honestly most mobas have such a thing where someone is not a meta pick ever.

[@duaneblommaert976]

To be honest I have yet to see a game where everyone is balanced and its exclusively based around skill. Fighting games, mmorpg's, shooters, card games, strategy games, RTS and most genres have clear ways to play and whats the most effective. In street fighter 5 the top 10 has been filled with the same characters and tournaments usually consists of atleast a couple Balrogs and Cammies. MMORPG usually has a dominant or dominant classes for both PVP and PVE, Shooters has certain weapons that are just way better than other weapons. Card games has certain decks that are dominant and most people roll and I could do the same with every genre. League is no exception.

[@mikeamueller92]
