1st wtf is this bullshit with everyone giving champs stupid nicknames? If you want to make a funny/sarcastic blog, okay. But if you're serious then be serious. Its not even funny. Just distracting and annoying.

That being said i dont really agree. There are plenty of tactics and teamcomps in LoL. Some of them use heavy CC and some of them dont have any.

Just look at the currently very popular poke comps. Say Nid, Jayce, Lulu, Cait and maybe Xin Zhao. You have 3 hard CC's there in the whole team and it works just fine and is actually played alot. It is true that you need some sort of HCC but its not entirely true that champs with HCC slowly replace champs without. (Rumble, Vlad etc)

Then there are teamcomps that heavily rely on teamfights and there HCC (preferrably AoE) is obviously a must have. But even there you need a balance between CC and damage. You cant kill things with just CC.

And then there are pure splitpush comps. Rather rare atm but they CAN work. They're just unpopular. Just take Shen, Zed, Vlad, Sona and Cait and you can splitpush all day. And you have only 2 1/2 (i dont count the traps as a reliable hard CC) HCC's.

So you see that there are enough different ways to play the game and Riot is always working to balance out things; especially CC-machines (Alistar...).
