Other than the common complaints on Vayne and Riven I feel that

a lot of players just come here to complain about a champion they got steamrolled by in 1 game, and demand that the said champion be nerfed. Idk, i don't really feel like that says anything good about our gaming community.

At least half of them could be rephrased, "I need to know how I can deal with this champion, because I have no idea how their kit works and they just blew me the fuck up."

Another significant portion could simply be put, "I can deal with this champ, but I don't like them. I think this is what's wrong with them."

And then a small handful of them just aren't worth posting, and I'm not entirely sure the writers were not drunk at the time.

I couldn't agree more. It's like half of them aren't thinking while they play other people.

People who immediately assume that are the most ignorant, imo. Champs are mainly complained about if they're played in almost every game and almost always perform very well in those games. Also, sometimes you don't even have to play against a champion to know they're OP. Just looking at statistics is enough. It's really sickening that when you say "ahri has one of the second highest winrate and the highest popularity for mid lane" people are coming at you and say "lol you just lost vs an ahri and now u mad".

On a day with a fair breeze and a particularly outrageous champion, sure.

On most days, it's just a clusterfuck of "I don't like this particular champ."

Well, actually, yeah, you kind of do need more than statistics to gauge a champion's balance.

Not saying that statistics aren't a valid measurement, but they aren't solid enough to stand alone.

It's funny that you mention actual champion statistics because I know most of the people who post about their troubles with certain champions don't look at them. Take Vayne for example, who is extremely popular right and is picked a lot. The reasons being is that she's the only ADC with true damage, and heavy attack power to boot with it. She's picked a lot but her winrate across ranked elos and even normals, is never among the top 10 champions with the highest win rates. If anything, I'm surprised more people don't bitch about Elise, of whom's winrate has been nearly 60% in normals and ALL ranked elos.

I will agree with your last point, I can see why people would get angry at that

Riven the only thing i feel is wrong about her is her shield is off AD. They should make it based off HP so she has to not just build all AD and wreck face, she shoudl be forced to do a mix of both.

Vayne is just annoying, but she needs a thresh or leona to be worth a damn, else she gets steamrolled laning.

With how broken Sated Devourer is, its not surprise which jngs are OP atm so i won't even bother saying them.

Other than that no one really sticks out much atm, although the fact RITO wants to basically make tanks worthless is another story. I hate them for it since I main top lane and now it will be teemos and quinns and such.
