The reason god tier champions are god tier.

The problem with champions like vayne, fiora, darius and a few others is that if the person who plays it makes no mistakes, they will easily snowball and will basically be untouchable. now youre probably thinking "no shit, if she makes no mistakes why would she be punished?" but the real deal here is the fact that if one of these champions fights another champion, and neither of them make mistakes, this champion will win, easily even. 1v2s 1v3s sometimes, if the person playing this champion knows how to play their champion it doesnt matter how good the person against them is, they wont stand a chance. thats not balanced. I dont want to give examples because I know people will hound me for it, I can say shen vs vayne but people will say vayne is anti tank, I can say fiora vs lucian and people will say bruisers usually crush ADCs so ill avoid that, but I do recall a vayne pentakill video I saw some time ago where she 1v5s and wins because she was just a good vayne, the enemy team didnt make any mistakes except playing against vayne. and yes I am specifically currently butthurt about vayne, but shes broken af can you blame me?

I don't mind snowballing so much, but it seems ridiculous that some champions can get destroyed in lane (I'm talking 1-5 or 0-4) and still dominate late game with minimal effort. I've seen Yasuos, Jinxes, and Vaynes all do this. It is really frustrating to play against them for that reason. You can never shut them down hard enough.

Any champion who relies on snowballing can only be balanced around a knifes edge. If they are lane bullies, Snowballing is guarantied, if they can be bullies, They will never be able to snowball.

The only way that would work is if the snowballers are able to go as even as possible. After which, the matter of feast or famine become a matter of team intervention.

You are literally saying "Duelists are great at dueling." Vayne and Fiora have long been known for their 1v1 capabilities, and both are potent late game carries. This is nothing out of the ordinary. This is what carries do. I'm not sure why you think Darius is even remotely 'god tier' anymore though. He's been much more manageable since the last nerfs, people just ban him out of habit.
