If you spent less time complaining about champions and more time thinking you'd be good at this game

While this isn't 100% true, it is somewhat good advice. The main issue is that League is a game where your skill in it is determined by two completely opposite things.

The first is mechanical skill. This of course, in it's simplest definition, is "HOW GUD U PUSH DA BUTTONZ" And basically comes down to things like timing abilities right, managing resources, targeting skill shots, orb walking, summoner spell timers etc. All the things that require you keep track of direct abilities, and your skill with inputting them.

The second is game knowledge. This is your ability to understand how abilities interact with one another, your knowledge of builds, items, how they work, how to make the most of them. This is the knowledge of which items are good on what, what abilities you should max first in certain match ups.

Unfortunately, these two things are nearly opposites, and many players will have one, but not the other. For example, I'd like to think that I have pretty good game knowledge, I understand how champs and their abilities interact, what items are good choices on them, when to alter your build path and what to, etc. However my mechanical skill is absolute trash. I suck at things like CSing, landing some skillshots, hitting my abilities in the right order, timing my skills, or active items right, or not panicking and spamming all my buttons if I get jumped on suddenly. The main issue people actually have is that usually they'll be good at one half, but not the other, and they just need to practice the other end of the spectrum.

b-b-but Kalista is tooo mobile :(

Complaining got me from silver 5 to plat 5 though.

Only champ I ever complained about (and bought with rp because I couldn't take it any more) was Jinx. Everyone else I figure out how to deal with.

OP don't forget most people feel entitled, playing their free game and all.

I rarely if ever complain about champs being OP. I just study them. Playing them yourself helps too.

Ever notice how it's the players of the champ that say they can be beat? Many say that's just because they don't wanna lose their freelo. But maybe, just maybe, the fact they play them means they actually know how they work and what their weaknesses are better?

A story. I was playing ARAM against a Teemo. My whole team was saying how OP he was with his shrooms. I was getting annoyed too. Then I put on my thinking cap, bought Twin Shadows and never stepped on a shroom again.

I have plenty of time to think when Shaco nukes me

There are champions that are fair to complain about, though. Gragas. Release Ekko. Release Darius. Rek'Sai. Release Yasuo. Katarina and Annie.

If you truly believe there's nothing ever wrong with balancing I'm not sure what to say to you.

they only people who are op are Master Yi,Katarina,and Heimer but they are fun to play as

Please explain to me how to counter Leblanc then? A champion who returns to her original position before you even blink

listen you bronzelords

Ok, I'm thinking I would be good at this game. . .

. . . Now what?

Don't tap the glass man, you'll scare the fish. True story.
