User blog comment:Commander Marko/Diversity: Is it dying out?/@comment-12443575-20150318085937

Nah, diversity is always there, it dies hard. First, there are people who have their main character(s). Not necessarily high tier, they simply won't drop their main after a nerf. I myself am playing since s3 and  since early s4, not planning on dropping them anytime soon, and about half of my friends have either a loyalty or an affinity towards playing certain characters. Second, patches aside, there are "sleeper op" characters which simply haven't been discovered yet. In s3 I was one of the first people to pick up support and jungle, which I both dropped when their popularity. And lastly, if something really stupidly overpowered arises (early s5 comes to mind), Riot will fix it. Violently. P.S. If someone's interested, Chris G discovered an insanely powerful strategy in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, which allows literally no counterplay and is also very frustrating to play against, but eventually people discovered good counters to this strategy, and knocked Chris G from some of the major tournaments he participated in.
