LoL: Where Any Champ You Lose To Is "Broken"

Played 2 matches as Braum support after work tonight. The first one we had a Darius facing Nasus, and I don't know if Darius could've shut Nasus down any more than he did. Our Tristana claims she "forgot she had a game open" and for 9 minutes was either AFK at base or worse, AFK in lane, resulting in her death. For the first 15 minutes or so, with this going on, I was out CSing Nasus with roundabouts 30 CS. That's how much control Darius had over him in lane. Naturally, Nasus spent the entire match ranting about how Darius is "broken" and that anything Darius did didn't take any skill.

Next match we draw an Ekko APC. Our Ashe practically offers herself up to Ekko, walking right into his combo at level 2, and since I started Q and neither of us had hit level 2 yet, I was helpless to stop him. I killed him afterwards, though, then got finished off by Thresh. Our Ashe continues to make comboing herself easy on Ekko, he gets fed, and she alternates between AFK and feeding the rest of the match. The Lux I think she was friends with started going on and on about how "broken" he is and the Ashe later joined in saying he's "broken" because he can one shot (it wasn't a one shot, by the way) a squishy target who put herself in a bad position a level behind with him just having gotten his first power spike (E/Q combo). I pointed out that that sort of thing is his job as an assassin and she told me to "**** off."

Could Ekko use a nerf? Certainly. His ult does too much damage and his shield is too strong. But remedy those two things, and perhaps give him a couple more minor tweaks (ex. lower the damage on the return trip of his Q), and I think he's fine. Even as is, you don't see me feeding enemy Ekkos. Why? Because I know exactly what he's capable of and don't just walk dumbly into situations that obviously favor him.

Except people in this game almost never look at these sorts of matches as learning experiences. They think that if they lost, their enemy had an unfair advantage of some sort, and it's getting pretty old. When I've seen people call Garen OP, and seen threads on here about people referring to Azir as an easy mode champ... it's just ridiculous.

The thing people need to learn to do, is accept that they arn't perfect.

I will admit that 70 or 80% of the time when I die, its almost certainly because I did something I PROBABLY shouldn't have done (these things tend to be very obvious in foresight, not so much when I do them though, really need to work on that)

"I'M NEVER WRONG OMG YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT UR TALKIN BOUT #&@! U PLZ UNINSTALL"

AMIRIGHT? Isn't that about the general attitude behind EVERY person who gets beat by a "broken" champion or is a feeder and blames other people?

It's just frustrating how few people will realize that they're losing lane because they're in a terrible position or they're missing tons of cs or they need to push with their lane partner and when the jungler comes.

To the people that scream "IT'S ALL UR FAULT I HATE YOU REPORTED", please know that it's not other people... IT'S YOU.
