It was a blowout but overall this still has been the best World's as a whole. Non-stop excitement from the word go.

EDIT:
Rookie really deserves it. He stayed when others hauled ass when they saw the path wasn't going to just open up a red carpet for them. I can respect the grind

Yall have to be drunk aside from the Rookie part. Easily the worst major tournament gamewise since before I started watching (so early 2012), bad finals, bad semis, meh champion (not that I don't enjoy iG, ive been an iG booster and fan for a while, but they really are not a great team). On top of of all that is was easily the worst meta I've seen. Its basically the equivalent of the Juggernaut meta worlds if teams hadn't figured out how to make Darius and Morde useless by quarters.

This tournament felt like it actually was the "the Europa league" and there was a real "Champions league" happening elsewhere, and iG should have been in the Champions league except they had a few midseason injuries.

I am just going to heavily disagree with you particularly on meta. If you think the tournament narratives were better, thats opinion, but I don't think it holds unless you give ++ for EU and NA narratives (also you have to ignore caster deterioration). When it comes to meta all the most important champs are among the worst to watch in their role. Xayah, KaiSai (and Jihn) are negatives, as are Urgot, Aatrox and new Irelia (the fact that there are counters doesn't help, they are intrinsically boring even when countered). Indeed, the biggest issue I had is that the two roles with fun champion select: Jungle and Support were neutered by the vision changes so I felt they got to do so much less fun things.

Plus, lets not pretend. I got exited by AZIR picks because he was the most interesting midlane thing happening. Where is Orianna? Lulu? Anivia? Those are the champs that make midlane fun. Heck, even the tank tops ornn and sion are the worst tanks. Maokai is way better to watch same with Nautilus. The only way to plausibly make the champ pool less fun would be to add more Zoe.

Eh, agree with semis and finals sucking, probably the most one sided seeding ever, but the meta itself wasn't too bad. I think Aatrox and Urgot are pretty boring champions when you see them so much, but we did get to see a few pocket picks.



I think you have some nostalgia building up there. Orianna was meta for fucking forever, sooooooo boring when Faker wasn't playing her. Lulu mid is cancer, when she's meta it means we see hypercarry comps that do nothing but farm. Anivia is a pocket pick, only mid this tournament I can think of that plays her is Rookie. Instead we saw some great Jayce, LeBlanc (probably OP in the right hands), Syndra, Swain, Galio games.
