Too many reruns. I could understand Shen being this week because of the reworking, but how bout some champs that haven't been run yet this season? Haven't seen Olaf yet, Xin Zhao, or Akali yet for good melee DPS characters. Katarina, Warwick, Galio and Graves have already been featured twice, and there's still many characters that haven't been featured that can fill their roles and are seemingly easy to use. It would have been nice to see Olaf, test out his reworking since the Fiora patch.
"Champion Rotation Goals
1) Give new players some simple Champions to play
2) Provide a balance of types of Champions for new players
-- This allows new players to make balanced teams
3) Allow players to preview all Champions eventually"
Simple to play? Look at the difficulty bars on Kog'Maw, Leblanc and Ahri. If they're so high, why can't we see characters like Shaco (who has only ever been featured 4 times in rotation) show up as well? Also, allow players to preview all Champions eventually? Not at the pace we're going so far with the Champion rotations this season. Pretty sure the goals list needs to be either revised or they need to re-evaluate their choices for the rotation.
In place of Katarina, they could have had Akali, as they are both assassin style characters with very similar designed skills.
In place of Warwick, they could have had Olaf, as they are both fighter style characters with mass ties to jungling.
Another thing I've noticed, there's so many melee characters nowadays that it completely messes up their choices for characters as well. They should consider developing more ranged and tank classified characters so that the rotation wouldn't be so vanilla all the time. I mean, yes fighter style characters are essentially off-tanks, but it would be better to see some more designated tank characters showing up, as well as more ranged carry/fighter characters.
