I fear that fearless draft prevents teams from hyper specializing into a unique playstyle - I don't think doinb's bag of dark technology could've gotten much deeper than tank ryze/kled/naut/malphite. Same with that iteration of G2 which got enormous value out of threatening syndra flex. DRX 2022 also had very, very shallow champion pools that just so happened to align with the meta. Kindred as a graves counter, zeka with his akali/sylas mastery, kingen the aatrox merchant, and beryl dodging his sus hands via sup heimer/ashe. Fearless does give us more champion variety, but I feel like we're headed towards homogenized team playstyles because you have to play all the meta comps to win a game 5. That said, I understand that 90% of teams in non-fearless had homogenized playstyles anyways, that nobody wants to see scaling azir draft vs scaling corki draft number 845738234, and that there are other circumstances leading this year's meta to encourage homogenized playstyles (camps respawn super fast, catchup xp is high, mid wave meets at the same time sidewaves meet, a huge amount of teamwide objectives, etc).
