I dont think "optimal" is going to help because its even less possible to prove.

What's wrong with "safe" and "strong"?

Edit: actually, the tradeoff is "safe", as in stays relevant in most any comp unless you yourself fuck up versus "situational", meaning niche champs like nida and trynd that can completely wreck given the right circumstances versus "weak" which basically fill the same role as another champ but does it less well. Then there's "shit-tier" that only work because the opponents underestimate them and/or don't know how to play against them.


Safe and Situational are just two subsets of optimal. A good example would be picking between Orianna and Ahri, or Ahri and Fizz, or Shen and Singed.

Viable implies that firstpicking Anivia isn't a terrible idea with Vi and an Assassin still open. Not saying that Anivia couldn't be a situational pick, but that pick is clearly suboptimal.

Anivia is clearly situational, that is to say, at some point during some draft she could in theory be the very best pick. Zed is currently "safe" as is Renekton. Galio is weak, because even in soloq his impact is too easily countered.

I think these labels are alot clearer, whereas "optimal" is too general a term to describe anything without also adding context.

Theories for next season.

Take what TLer's think the path is to a better game, reverse it because Morello, and ship it.

Who needs farm when you go BotRK first and rape machine every lane?

Until, you know, they pick someone with any amount of knockback/sustained slow and then laugh at you.

a surprisingly large variety of items/item combinations feels good on udyr, and then you realize none of them actually addresses any of his issues

udyr still great for pubs though cause he's a non-cd reliant, tanky, huge dps machine when he gets ahead

List of Season 4 Changes (According to !TL):

  • Wards and Sightstone are made more expensive in order to encourage supports to buy other things.
  • Early jungle gold and experience is diminished, but scales even better than before.
  • Anti-banking implemented in the jungle.
  • Blade of the Ruined King buffed to help "Marksmen" against divers.
  • Nautilus nerfed to the ground for being the best diver.
  • Jungle initial spawn delayed to 4:55.

Actually I would laugh my ass off on that last one. Roaming and tri lanes for 5 minutes while the junglers scamper around trying to be useful.
