To be fair to that sentiment, offseason free agency is one of the hypest times of the year.

I'm hoping Kiin/Yondu/Faker/Bang/Wolf unless Wolf wants to retire, then they should grab a playmaker like Max or Ignar On November 04 2018 08:29 LightningStrike wrote: Duke is the only person who won 2 worlds on 2 different organizations.

Heavily disagree. Season 4 was bad. Season 5 had one good bo5. Ssw was just so far ahead of every team none of the games felt fun or important. This meta was fine as well. We saw great developments in meta. Viktor top to counter Urgot then Jayce to counter Viktor top. Sure the semis and onwards were bad (because this world's format is dogshit), but before that, groups and quarters, were super entertaining for sure. | ||

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. | ||

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.

So basically you hate those champs? Yeah, then I guess you wouldn't like this worlds. As far as tournament narratives, I enjoyed Korea not coming into a tournament without the belief that they've got the best three teams in the world. It was refreshing. And yeah. I agree with Numy, the setup of Worlds pretty much ensures that you won't see the highest quality games. | ||

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. Where is Orianna? Lulu? Anivia? 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. | ||

Ori isn't nostalgia, she's the best designed mage in the game. I did also enjoy some of the leblanc play we had, but you also brought up galio who is the more boring lulu replacement and swain who I didn't know anyone enjoyed in the least. | ||

Galio is fun when Rookie plays him, because it's all about map control. And I really enjoyed Ucal and Bwipo's Swain, when people don't play him like a safe champion he's pretty exciting. I hated Lulu with a passion, because while Juggermaw was fun as an ADC main, she also pushed a meta that revolved around farming and made aggressive play, like we saw this season, a risk just because her ADC would 1vs5 by the 20 minute mark. | ||
