You know what, Riot. Even though some champs get more than others, I prefer playing those with less.

I love challenges, and love being able to beat someone with a champ that is both hard to use and need of skill vs a champ who is easy and has a lot to use. I love being able to go back into the past and see that this was nerfed and that was nerfed and yet I still play the champ. Not because he/she is easy, but because there's no challenge if its just simple. I love Kalista, not because she's OP, but because I use a track-pad and that makes it insanely harder to play as her though I hate that her release was so strong. I love Bard because there are times where I have to stay with my ADC and not collect chimes. I loved Taric because few were able to play him, and I was able to master him. When you buff a champ I like, I feel happy, and when you nerf them I feel sad, but I'm sick and tired of being distraught about playing them when all they receive is nerfs. I'm going to play as Azir, I'm going to play as Zac, I'm going to play as almost every unused champ. Why? Because playing as a champ I've never seen or heard of is fun. Isn't that what makes new champs so amazing, its the fact we haven't seen, played as, or against them yet. So, although you may buff champs like Yasuo to fix his W so it can block projectiles that use to pass it while nerfing Urgot's E over a issue of a ability of giving sight for a little too long. I'm literally fine with it, because I know one of two things will happen (maybe three); one is that I still understand the mechanics and will find a way to still win, two your nerf will actually hurt the champ (, and three, a compensation may be issued).

But still, I'm tired of Lee Sin, Vayne, Yasuo, and many others getting by with such large gaps in strength that can also hurt the player base. So many times a bad Vayne, or Yasuo, or Rengar will just appear and be reported by salty players. Its not that person's fault a skilled Amumu was on the other team (note this has not happened, its just an example).

If I'm reading right you are saying the champs listed below take no skill rofl.

I think you got to Kalista. That would make me cringe too, keep going though.

Sorry, I misunderstood what you said.

My first game with Zed, I pretty much got a Quadra Kill and missed my Penta only because I gave up on it. Vayne has one of the highest play rates and also a high win ratio. Unless I build AD on Yasuo, he's super easy with critical, I've had two Yasuo's from my team and one from a opposing side apologize for being OP.

I, however, will not say you can play a champ without knowing what they do, if you do that... you're going to suck, but with straight forward kits that can do a lot and have little to be fixed on it, I can pretty much point out strong points on almost every champ, their weak points, and how and why a champ might be a little too strong.

An example is Le Blanc. She has HUGE mana ratios on her Q, W, and E, but her R is free. After watching her and reading up on her kit, I played a match as Le Blanc, needless to say I was pretty much dominating. I can only imagine how she was with a silence on her E. Her Q is balanced, needing a second ability to deal bonus damage, but her W and E deal a little too much when combined. If her W allows her to deal damage and teleport and her E can be a snare, why not remember she can double the damage? After this, her ultimate is fair. As far as assassins go, Le Blanc is the only one who can deal over a 1000 damage easily with just her Q, W, and E without the need for her ultimate and her AP ratios. Le Blanc does take more skill though to play, but its the fact that her low risk and high rewards make her stronger (such is the Q+W combo that is the safest to use unless you want to use her ult and have either a stronger Q or W). Her weaknesses are stuns, silences, distance, Galio, and mobility (you can also add experience to this as well). The reason Galio is here, is due to not only his Tank but his MR that gives him a edge over LB, plus his abilities are just as strong though real skill is needed to damage LB.

There are champs I hate to play. I've played them and they are really easy compared to the ones I've had to learn. Miss Fortune... she is just OP right now, not much of a nerf to her passive. Jinx got bug fixes, yet I've heard a lot of people talk about her Q which seems to have a lot.

You need skill to play champions, but when you try and play as someone you know is weak and hard, it really shows the difference.

I would hardly call fixing Yasuo's wall bug after 2 years a buff.
