Just your typical bitching about nerfs

For advance, I apologise for "bitching", and even if this post gets the rain of downvotes, I want to speak about my opinions.

I'm an avarage player, really, I have a decent skill with the champs I play with, and compared to others I play against in the division I'm currently in I do pretty well. But the game ALWAYS feels unfair. (fasten your seatbelts, it's starting) When I pick Ziggs for instance, I always feel a little sorry for my opponent, and I have this feeling with a few characters, irrelevant if it's my main ot not. The same thing can be said when I get oneshoted by Akali, even if I'm a tanky support, no matter if I warded or not, or I was aware of the situation or not. When she targets me, there's no way I can react to it, I'll just hope I give valuable time to my team if I'm tanky enough, and the assassin takes longer to kill me. (I know the assassin update is coming)

Most of you know that some champions are really popular (overused, the way I'd say it) and some are looked at the way like "There's no chance my team could win with this". I'm fully aware the champions are modified according to its win-rates. But the problem is; sometimes it's not the character's OPness is the fault that some professional players have the same taste for ideal TOP/MID/BOT/JG champ, and they win because they are just good. (This is not a "buff even more a broken champion" post) For example, characters like Azir, Kindred, Janna, Shen, Jarvan, pros find these champions the ideal characters for each roles, but they'll get nerfed to death because of their win-rates no matter how much effort they have put into the champ or the game, if their win-rates rise, their value will degrade.

Lower skill level player's ideal is playing the character their favourite championship player played, and stick to it 24/7. Then play thousands of games, and fail the half of it, thus keeping it safe from nerfs. (looking at Faker wannabes) Some of them are really good with those champions, but the majority is .

It seems unfortunatelly, I have the same idea of ideal champions as professional players, and one of my favourite character got nerfed really badly. It not felt OP before (it felt like a post-nerfed champ), but now it is defenitelly not OP. (Shen. If you look at its win-rates, you'll see that it's really wobbly.) They nerfed him because of his ultimate, because it could turn fights, but really... THIS is the exact thing the ultimates are used for. Why not nerf his ultimate rather than his passive or base stats? Why is it bad that he is a little ban-worthy, we have plenty of champions of those already. Shen post-nerf rage section over

I just hate it that we players below Diamond have to stick with meta, doing everything the same way the professionals do, while masters make meta and (unintentionally) forces us to play the way they want. When I see a unusual championship matchup I instantly think "Oh boi... Miss Fortune support is going to be the new thing now". The point is, almost everyone follows the championship, because most of the players want to play LoL professionaly, but if you don't, you can't just enjoy the game, because no matter which division you are currently in, meta will always be a thing, and if you don't keep a track with it, you have nothing to compensate your mistakes, becuase some of the metas are really powerful, and there's no chance you could win against the same skill level players.

Professional players don't have to follow the meta, they create the meta. When they build a Yasuo tanky on top, or pick Alistar with thunderlord, the same thing will be done in low level tiers. I know that this is a competitive game, and I will always look at it that way. But if the players who want to get deeper in the game, and the players who just want to have a good time could be separated somehow, that would be great. (I know it's impossible though)

I don't expect Riot to change anything, because they have a system at least, and even if it seems unfair, it's been working for years, but when the majority looks at the patch notes like "really rito? you had to buff him? like he weren't OP enough" you know that something's fishy about the current system.
