Skill Expression has been dead since Season 7

Most of the "problem" champs in the game are champs that don't have periods of weaknesses, have free, uncostly mobility or get free damage of some sort. This is a clear problem in League, NOTHING has drawbacks anymore, the modern champions don't have actual weaknesses and no MEANINGFUL limits to their mobility or damage.

This absolutely effects skill expression, two Irelia's are going to play EXACTLY the same, build EXACTLY the same etc. How is it skillful just to copy somebody else? Nothing works in ANY lane except for the OPTIMAL picks because the gap between OPTIMAL and SUB-OPTIMAL is so wide, you get a MASSIVE disadvantage for playing off meta.

People say this game is stil "diverse" but when EVERYONE is overpowered, that creates additional problems. Damage is way too high and this means that plays don't seem as skillfull as they were pre-season 7.

This game is NOT Fornite... stop trying to appeal to that dumb generation riot and look after your core audience of RTS and Strategy fans first.

  1. I agree champions like Irelia Riven Akali Zed ect. Are annoying but they are on the more difficult side to play. These arnt just pick up and play champions.
  2. "Playing the same" and "building the same" really just is because thats just how you play the champion and build them. How different is one Rammus to another? Run at people hit them taunt them auto and buy a item 3075
  3. I agee off meta and sub optimal picks dont even work well anymore because some shit is just so much stronger but it's not impossible.For example I main tanks Top Lane which isn't impossible to win but it's very difficult because all the other optimal champions top lane absolutely destroy me without a question which feels like shit because there's not a whole lot I can really do.

I think this post has good intentions just executed the wrong way. It's always better to come at people with your opinions calmly and not show frustration even if it is, because they are less likely to be understanding.

Season 7? That was arent censor meta? So skill expression is when Jung, Top, and Mid are Bot lane's bitch #1 #2 and #3? How was mashing all your buttons and actives on your ADC and praying skill expression?
