I so love losing at champ select to champs who have been issues for years now.

But balance is a priority, right? We would certainly never make double standards and openly admit someone like Lee is broken and intentionally kept so because he makes money, we wouldn't ignore an ADC with absurd pick and winrates across ELOs, and we CERTAINLY wouldn't ignore a champ who has zero counterplay but is often played in LCS for her broken kit like Cassi.

Why would Riot do that, right?

Just responding to the title:

Your winrate against certain champions is heavily impacted by how much you allow yourself to tilt when you see them get picked. I mean it dude, you're mindgaming yourself when you think the game is lost in champion select.

Truth friend.

Lee is so weak without trackers knife; doesnt scale late game. Honestly garbage champion. ??? No idea what adc , maybe cait? Cassi? No counterplay? Oof....

Your idea of whats "broken" keeps you from making any meaningful progression. You're like my one friend that every game he plays, theres a "new broken" champion. By his account 90 of the champions are broken. Oh, fuck!

"Kass has infinite Mobility" "Kaynes heals are broken" "Yi just alpha's and does infinit dmg broken" "Mundo has too much regen, broken" "Xerath just pokes outta lane busted" "Caitlyn always gets first tower and has too much range" "Ezreal can just spam his abilities" "If u get hit by Nidalee spear ur dead" "Lux Ult has no cd, broken"

Thanks for the examples XD yeah, it's easy to call something OP when it beats us. Absolves us of any responsibility for the loss. I've fallen victim to doing this a few times myself too.

Lee is broken?

He just had one of the biggest advantages removed in the Tracker Knife. So now he has to keep the Yellow Trinket which has a CD and doesn't get to have the Red Trinket, or if he does it makes it a lot harder to pull of those insecs.

What single champion has been a problem in every patch for the past 2 years?

Though that depends on whether or not you're capable of thinking outside of the flock. These champs become FOTM for a while every single year, and are always horrible to play against and freelo, even in higher ELO.

A lot of champs become FOTM for a short while every year. But not a single one of these champs has been pick/ban or even an above average pick for OVER 2 years straight. They fall in and out of their strengths.

Hell a lot of the champs on this list aren't even top tier right now. Most of them are middle at the absolute best.

Are you ecen playing the same game? There are literally 5 champions there than I can remember have trouble with at all this season, and the only consistently difficult one is fizz because his clear is good enough to push and roam to get ahead. Even then attention from his jungle is normally needed.

Also as someone who has played malz since I started playing and still mains him, I can honestly say he is currently in a terrible place. Like I think he was better in mid when he was considered by most a support champ, over a year ago! He is teir 5 right now, bear in mind Aatrox isnt even that low. If he doesn't get some changes/buffs soon he'll be done for the season.
