However, week three marks the start of patch 12.2 coming into effect and T1's "Gumayusi" has had mixed feelings about changes.
Developers Riot Games firstly confirmed in the new patch that the Chemtech dragon would be removed from the game due to the Chemtech soul and fog effect being overpowered.
Additionally, the new patch also marked the release of a new marksman champion - Zeri - who some, including "Gumayusi", have labelled as too weak.
Gumayusi gives his thoughts
In an interview with Inven Global, "Gumayusi" shared his thoughts on the latest changes.
Regarding the Chemtech dragon removal, he said: "It's definitely hard for the losing team because the [Chemtech] fog limits a lot of vision. As for the soul... the revive effect isn't that strong."
And as for the new marksman champion Zeri, he added: "I don't think she's that good. Even if she becomes available in pro play, I don't think people are going to pick her in her current state.
"Her autoattack mechanism isn't that appealing and I don't think she's a great fit in the current meta."
