It's so easy to gut a champion because there are 10 other champions just like them.

If one gets worse than the other nine versions of the champion, they're considered "gutted", even if they do ~5% less damage than the others. In fact that's an absolute gutting right there.

If Riot wants to stop this, let's say because they happen to admit here in the forums that this problem exists, then they need to make champions more unique. Forget roles. Champions should be obviously effective regardless of their roles.

The determining factor in who wins games is items right now, only behind how many players are afk on each team. And it's not how well you played your champion, because all the champions are stupidly similar. Change that. Forget labels for champions. I'm tired of seeing Tank or Bruiser; I want to see Amumu or Renekton.
