Not EVERY Champion is made for EVERY level of skill

Not every Champion is made for LCS level and it should be so...

Here's what I mean by that:

League is a game, right? So, not everyone is supposed to play on optimal level and try to improve at all times. There HAVE TO BE so called "casual" and "tryhard" champions.

Take XinZhao and Thresh for example. Xin Zhao is straight forward dive in - kill people champion, not much in-depth mechanics to it, on the other side you've got Thresh: super complicated, extremely hard to master champion. Xin is beginner friendly, doesn't require much practice and dedication to get used to him, while you gotta put in countless of hours to try and reach perfection on your Thresh skills. AND THIS IS FINE That's what a lot of players don't understand, sadly.

Every champion can't be good for Normals / Bronze / Gold / Diamond and LCS at the same time. Champion pools for lower and higher ratings will and should be different. Casual player (who plays Normals mostly and doesn't try his best at all times, just wants to have fun) and Diamond level dude can't play Azir Thresh Jhin on the same level, so don't ask balance team to make these guys viable for all the different skill levels.

For better understanding, lets look at it from different angle. Imagine evaluating champion difficulty and potential power on the scale of 1 to 5. Again, let's take XinZhao and Thresh as our contestants. Personally, I'd give Xin 1 (difficulty) and 3 (potential power), while giving Thresh 5 and 4. When played perfectly, Thresh SHOULD be more rewarding than Xin, who's much easier to play as.

We can't ask Riot to buff XinZhao hard enough for LCS players to pick him, cause that would bring ones who play Nidalee (much more complicated Champion) at a huge disadvantage required-skill wise.

Take that into the consideration before asking for nerfs/buffs [slayer-jinx-catface]
