League of Legends Caster Azael wants Shen at the top of the worlds

The Meta of the League of Legends World Championship 2021 has recalled us in the course of its development with a variety of tips. From the support of Amumu on the tackling assassin Jungler to the rise of Poppy as a mobility counter, there was a lot to see at this year s tournament. The Caster Aaron, Medic Chamberlain and Isaac, Azael Cummings Bentley agree and have given the PC Player 24 their champion selected at this year s tournament.

The choice of the Medics should not be a surprise as the man who takes over the support did this season more games with this champion than with each other. That s right, it s rakan. Rakan will always be my favorite choice, he says. To see a good rakan player is like a symphony to see. His ability to re-position and get picks is just beautiful. After Rakan was picked up 29 times in the play-ins and group phases, he is regularly represented at the tournament this year.

Meanwhile, Azel s best champion comes from the other side of the crack in Jax. I think Jax is a really funny champion, and Split Push in general can be extremely exciting if he was well done, he says. I wanted to see more Jax all year to punish blind camilles, who are so common in the West, but it was really just eastern teams that did it, so it s nice to see that more teams can pick up and try to record it. Compositions and play styles.

But what about champions that have not really appeared in the gap at Worlds? Well, Medic has once again decided on Sona for a support pick. I d like to see more Sona, he says, just because she has always been one of my favorites, but I doubt that we will see her in this meta. Sona did not play a role in the professional game this year, and As Medic says, it looks very unlikely that this will change soon.

The desire of Champion Azael to see more of it has actually already given his World Cup debut. After Azael had only one appearance during the play-in phase, Azael believes that Shen could be the answer to some of the best top lane picks dominating the main event.

Honestly, I think Shen is currently extremely strong, says Azael, and fits well with many popular aggressive tops like Camille and Graves. There are many teams that perform very low magical damage compensation as well as full AD with Zoe or Twisted Fate, and Shen can punish this very effectively only with the stack of armor / HP, as Poke magicians can not handle full tanks.

He also effectively responds on side ways, taxes opposing global well with his ultimate and can drive or answer by side ways and then combine well with his ultimate to participate in team fighting against champions like Leona. I just feel that he fits so well in the way the teams want to play the game - exercise more pressure on the teams and grouping than to completely engage in the teams to win the game.

Although we will not easily see Sona in the foreseeable future on the World Cup stage, the meta of the tournament could scream very well to Shen to get more playing time. A selection with which the duo was definitely less happy this year is Yuumi, whose justification you can read here.
