Top 5 hardest to play highest skill cap champions in the game
Fact.
There is a reason these champions are most hated by low elo players who lack the mechanix.

Mechanically speaking: needing to hit 7 buttons instead of 4 does make a champion more complex, but not necessarily harder to play.
Having a tool-kit with an answer for every situation allows the likes of Nidalee and Lee-Sin the capacity to essentially paint fences with a paintbrush, Hammer nails with a hammer, unscrew screws with a screwdriver, dig holes with a shovel, and rake leaves with a rake.
Inversely: there are some champions like 
that are quite simple mechanically with only 4 skills and good at digging holes: but then he's so focused in 1 area he essentially has to paint fences with a shovel, hammer nails with a shovel, unscrew screws with a shovel, and rake leaves with a shovel: making him comparably more difficult to play well in a wide range of scenarios.
It's worth remembering a lot of the hardest games made were from the arcade era: Packman was so difficult the first ~6 people that beat it were top stories in the newspaper and on TV. And none of the games from the arcade era were particularly complex mechanically, with Packman you only had the capacity to move in 1 of 4 directions.
There's more to a champion being hard to play over just having a lot of buttons they can press.
cough 
cough
How do you measure what is hard to play? Because Zed only takes average of slightly above 5 games to get to a decent winrate.
Fact.
You are literally the biggest troll in the world or the most idiotic person in the world
Don't even bother with him, his post history says enough about him
PSA: All 5 are easy. :^)
Low elo hate them because it is a team effort to shut them down.
Some are difficult but nowhere near hardest in the game Hardest is probably Azir, orianna, Riven Cass and maybe Lee sin
Mechanical complexity does not equate to having the highest skill cap.
All of the listed champions have complicated mechanics, mostly because their kits have a lot of different options, but those same kits also have a lot of safety, in the form of escapes, defensive moves, and play negations. That means that they are much harder to punish for mistakes - since they can get out of sticky situations easily - which means that they need less skill in the other areas of League (such as positioning, knowing when to go in, etc.)
I'd argue that high-risk, high-reward champions are the hardest to play - champions who can die extremely easily if they mess up in the slightest. The ones you've listed are mostly high-complexity and high-reward, but fairly low risk once you have the basic mechanics understood.
??????????
Yeah they kinda made Riven break neck easy.
Lee is the only one that takes any sort of practice to play at a max level. Even then it has everything to do with ward hoping.
I agree with all...other than Riven...She is a cake walk compared to the others. 
belong on that list somewhere I would imagine...

Basically true tbh.

Huhh where is Bard pls
<- he's a freakin rock, literally hard asf
followed by 
and 
Pretty sure 
has one of the highest skill caps in the game.
Uh Leblanc?
Tryndamere, Garen, Teemo, Karth, Singed, and GP.
I hope this is sarcasm.
defo most hated and highest skill cap champ :D
Back to reality:
Nidalee and maybe Zed could be in the list, but that would be implying that they are hard to play.
Highest skill cap? No. It takes about 10 games to learn their mechanics and you will be good to go. Lee skill? You mean warding behind someone and ulting requires high skill?
Yasuo = Spam Q, Spam E, windwall whenever some skill shot coming at you. Riven = Spam abilities Zed = Spam abilities Nid only skill is learning to aim her Q, which doesnt take long to learn. Lee = Ult the enemy behind you, good job jungler!
Also notice how most the champions you mentioned are manaless. Yasuo gets his mana back incredibly fast, and nid is the only one with mana control. If you want highest skill cap champions, itd be:
(Jayce is easy to play, but if mastered he can win every game).
I hate how undealwithable all but nid is on this list, but I do hafta agree, that's the highest skill ceiling in the game, that list is.
Wrong.
This guy is so skill and mechanic intensive that i broke my E key.
what about singed lol mother fucker son of a bitch
All champions are easy to play, all it take is 4 easy steps.
- buy the champion from shop
- join a match
- pick that champion and lock in
- play the champion
what about Azir
