League of Legends XXXVIII: Featuring Mumble, The Giant Halibut

[Joran]

None of this is unconventional, except MAYBE Xin Zhao, and that's certainly viable. Zilean mid was considered a "must ban or pick" for a long time by American teams at the beginning of Season 2. He fell out of favor for literally no reason. Eve mid has been viable for a while and is often banned in high elo.

By unconventional, I meant rarely seen in tournament play; the champions went into the lanes I'd expect, but I never expected to see those champions played in the World Finals.

I went back and looked at the European regionals, the NA regionals, and MLG Raleigh. Exactly one Eve sighting and that's it.

I remember when, I think it was TSM, broke out Zilean in a match, but it's been a really long time.
