Whats the point in playing a game if you can't play what you want to play?

If you don't play a tier 1 champ you are severely cucking your chances of climbing. its so fucking lame.

I miss the days where there were like 3 super op champs with 55% winrates and then a bunch of alright ones.

Now its like there are 15 completely op champs that an ape could pub stomp on and if you don't get them on your team you may as well just FF at 15.

I play the champions who I enjoy...if they happen to be OP in the current patch, great! If they aren't I'll play them either way. In low elo it isn't about hopping on the "meta train" it's about knowing your champion and their strengths and weaknesses. Sure, Urgot might be the newest flavor of the month for top (for example...I dunno if he's even that strong anymore) but if you have never played him before and vs a Maokai with 300+ games with Mao, chances are the Mao will win due to knowledge.

Super OP champs only mean so much

Up until really high elo, how good you are at a champion matters way more than "playing op champions". You can play whatever you want, nobody is stopping you. Stop making excuses as to why you aren't climbing and actually improve at the game... or you can keep blaming your loses on everything except for your gameplay

I mostly hate how every lane has its CLEARLY overtuned/busted champs that are better than like 80% of the champs they face in that lane

TOP/MID: Camille IreliaYasuo Vladimir Jax Kassadin These champs are basically 1v3 champs who are very easily worth two champions into the mid to late game and can single-handedly swing every fight and skirmish. Its EXTREMELY hard to lose a game if you have them on your team and manage to get them to mid/late at which point they will steamroll through the enemy team one by one. These are basically the DOTA equivalents of hard-rice carries like Anti-Mage,Spectre,Terrorblade PA ect. If you get them to late there is a 90% chance you auto-win UNLESS the enemy team has somebody else on this list to match them. Otherwise the power difference between teams is too massive.

BOTTOM: Kaisa This is not a champion. This is... an abomination. Caitlyn hard wins lane and hard wins game.

SUPP: Pyke why play any other Hook support? both Blitz and Thresh have basically been retired by this guy. Alistar still one of the best damn tank supports in the game. does decent damage, has great CC and initiation power. realisticallythe tankiest support in the game.

JUNGLE: Graves another 1v3 champ completely immune to the gaze of the balance team for some reason. I guess they feel like whatever champ would fill the void next would be more oppressive or something but eh? (like kha'zix) MasterYi We all know what he is capable of. If you let him finish Rageblade and dont have the CC to lock him down its over. experiences with this champ highly varies on elo but rest assured he is built to hyper-carry.

SPECIAL SHOUTOUTS:

Akali <-- dumpsters basically every single melee match up with Q spam and stealth. AUTOWINS all other lane matchups 9/10 times by simply hitting 6 because Execute damage is ridiculous on top of Ignite/Electro nonsense + 3 gap closers

Leblanc <-- wont really "carry" you a game per-say but is more or less a more straight forward X2 more effective braindead version of Ahri. Why pick any other AP assassin mid?

Garen also dumpsters a lot of top match ups. Even if you beat him he still wins because of Villain system. so much stats has been dumped into him playing with a brain is completely optional. Incredibly unfun to play against and feels 50/50 even into what used to be his WORSE hard counter matchups like Fiora or Darius. fuck statsticks. Garen has evolved into a stat sledgehammer.

How about you play those "completely op champs" and prove your point then
