Our Mr. President Darshan pushes for new LCS rule that protects pro players from sudden/unexpected roster changes.

Good shit! Say what you want about Darshan but you can't question this guy's integrity.
This ruling would prevent the shit that Adrian and Fenix went through on Echo Fox in where they were stranded last minute without a team.

Good stuff from Darshan. I can't imagine what it'd be like to get kicked off of a team with no time to react and try to find a new roster to fill a spot on, especially with how this is some players' first time professionally doing something like this for a career.
I like the rule change in theory but I think it has the capability of making this situation worse. Say Team A locks in their roster, then at the last minute Team B releases their All-Star jungler, Team A now can sign this jungler and their original locked in jungler is benched for an entire season without having the chance to find another starting spot.
While true, being employed is vastly superior to being unemployed.
Yes but he’s at least signed to the roster. Even if he’s riding the bench, he’s employed and not without a job+place to live. While I know tons of players would hate being relegated to a sub position when they were promised main roster, I think they’d hate not having even a sub position even more.
