we all know everybody considers champs like akali, kat and fizz op but imo they all have easy counters (except fizz) and are pretty balanced. akali has hard counters like darius, fizz, garen, kat, riven especially. i dont really want akali to be nerfed since she's my second favorite champion (not that i get to play her much ;( because when you look at her scaling its not that high, what gives her all her damage is her Q. Geuss she will be nerfed no matter what though i just want to hear the communities oppion on which other champs people consider op. Things like ap trist and darius how he can build super tank and deal a shiz ton of damage (garen...cough..cough) i find really op just saiyan and then theres poppy.....

Many champions are strong in the current meta. The ones most often considered OP are honestly not particularly stronger than any other champion who is not in a weak place. The main contributor to them being considered OP is their playstyle, which is oppressive to those who lack specific experience.

Bully champions always have a steep learning curve when it comes to fighting them with anything but a hard counter. If the player of said bully champion knows what they are doing they can become literally unstoppable to an opponent who requires the necessary knowledge. These champions will be displayed differently in the statistics Riot collects than champions who are truly too strong will. Riot will likely go through with nerfs regardless, but they will be nerfs designed to attempt to account for this imbalance at different knowledge levels.

My only suggestion is to never stop experimenting. Find out how you best learn and use it to your advantage, as the only true weapon you bring to every game is your own skill and every bit of information you know. Who knows, maybe you will find out something incredibly useful (like bruiser Rek'Sai destroying Fizz both in lane and afterward).
