I'd be ok with introducing a 4th ban for each team, as the champion pool is starting to get to a point where 3 bans just aren't enough. What was it originally, like 3 bans for each team with a ~70 champs, and now they expect us to have 3 bans per team for 117 champs? It's just not enough.

Team Dark stole his belt. Yeah, these KDA awards are a joke. : <
They need a most improved award imo.

They could increase number of bans by removing kassadin from the game

Either that or one team will figure out some new broken strategy or champion that this mythical team could use to beat SKT T1 K. I mean, lets look at SKT T1's strengths:
- EVERY role can carry (yes, including support).
- Large champ pool at every roll
- Wide variety of strategies (pick comp, fast push, 5v5 wombo combo, etc.)
- Arguably best players in the world in every role (Faker obv. best mid world, but Bengi and PoohManDu might be best players in their roles too)
- Near-perfect team coordination
- Rarely get flustered if something odd or unusual happens in pick/ban phase or in a team fight
What weakness can you identify? Maybe a tendency of FotM syndrome, but when your mechanics are so good it doesn't matter as much what FotM champs are. I feel like SKT dominance makes it more hard to win for other teams, considering how much people already fear SKT. I don't know about Korean scrim schedules but I'd expect SKT to mostly scrim with the sister team, so other teams don't learn as much. I think SKT weakness might be a Fnatic/Gambit in their absolute prime. SKT just punish mistakes so damn hard, that you have to be really confident in your ability not to make mistakes. Rofl, did you just come from Reddit or what, Fnatic/Gambit at their prime would get TRASHED by SKT for the love of god.
What are you talking about? Froggen's superteam would crush SKT

A rework of the pick/ban into something similar to Dota would do wonders for pick diversity, as well.

If you want to balance Kassadin, make his R be a CD of 20/16/12, problem solved.
I don't play or watch Dota 2, so I don't know too much about their pick/ban phase.
And Faker got MVP again, I think PoohManDu got robbed.

I would be okay with increasing bans if Riot's gut reaction wasn't to always nerf any champion that becomes popular in competitive play instead of buffing underplayed champions.
Faker 2x in a row MVP, Champion, and Mid KDA. GODJUNPA

Thought Mandu was going to win it, but I guess Faker won Game 3 MVP.

Riot's doing the opposite. They're gutting his Q and E, lowering R damage but giving R a cd of 3 seconds at level 3. Plus some wonky W change. At this point, I'm just waiting for Riot to say fuck it, give Kassadin the Eve treatment, and give him a rework in 2 years.

In terms of points if mandu was picked for G3 he'd have taken the overall award.

I guess they didn't give it to Mandu if they did Mandu would have 750 points while Faker has 700

they are crazy weighted for the finals, he would have taken the points if he got game 3 mvp

Basically this. I think the point totals had it so if Mandu won game 3 MVP he would get it, but if anyone else on SKT T1 got it Faker would get MVP.

Feel pretty confident the top three in the World right now are SKT, Bullets, and Blaze. Blaze also 10-0'ed WCG, so SKT would have probably done the same if they didn't take a night off versus Samsung Blue.
Hopefully LoL Masters shakes things up a bit.

to be honest, and I've felt this way all season long watching SKT, their team is so balanced it's really hard to name an mvp so ogn staff just goes fuck it give it to Faker in the games where it isn't painfully obvious.
