I don't understand how you guys think that every champ who doesn't own the spotlight is weak

Sej was completely bonkers broken when Cinderhulk came out and completely dominated. Not to mention tank itemization got buffs as well which made her even better. Riot then nerfed both Sej and Cinderhulk and now she's been toned down. Has she been gutted into uselessness? Not even close. She's close to a 50% winrate right now meaning she's not even close to being weak. If you are consistently losing with Sej it's a problem on your end not hers. I'm sorry she can't be pick/ban freelo for you throughout the entire season.

After Veigar's initial buffs after his rework he was fine but you guys wouldn't stop QQing because he didn't have the spotlight and now he's op broken as fuck. Same with Lux. You guys have this mentality that for the champion to be good they have to be broken pick/ban in the lcs and constantly hog the spotlight. The last time champions like Malz, Anivia, Galio, Miss Fortune, and Zyra hogged the spotlight was a long time ago and all of them are doing just fine with great winrates. But because non of these champions are hogging the spotlight you all seem to think they suck and need massive buffs to make them op.

My favorite champion was completely demolished at the very beginning of this season and got 2 very very weak compensation buffs. The last time she hogged the spotlight was mid season 3 very briefly (season 2 Akali doesn't count because everyone was broken during season 2). Do you see me spamming the shit out of "Make Akali broken op" threads? I've even tried making rework threads for her but it's just nonstop downvotes from the anti assassin circlejerk that gets drowned out by the "Buff Zyra and Sona" threads even though they are perfectly fine. You guys won't stop until Cass has a 100% winrate just because she isn't hogging the spotlight.

All of you act like you know balance when you really don't. Most of you haven't even played the champion over 10 times and are just blindly asking for buffs. The rest of you are just plain bad with the champion and blame it on the champion instead of yourself because you refuse to get better at this game and would rather just QQ for buffs/nerfs instead of getting good.

Downvoting me just proves my point even further. Commence downvoting.

"Anti Assassin circlejerk" As if someone needed a personal reason to hate that shitty designed archetype.

The problem with balance is that nobody wants their champions nerfed, you see all the veigar mains defending him even though we all know he needs to be shafted. But when Kalista/zed needs to be nerfed everyone wants them gone, except their mains of course. Bias opinions and balance don't go together.

The problem with the spotlight shenanigan is that champions like Sej are broken then gutted from competitive play (sometimes solo queue as well). Their spotlight didn't exist because of champion strength/comp position but because Riot messed something up. When I see Twisted Fate picked at worlds it's because, yeah he works here, not because he's pick or ban.

But then you have champions who have been in the spotlight since release or season upon season. It doesn't hold up.

It isn't that they are weak, it is that they are weaker than those in the spotlight. Aka less efficient/scale worse/less mobile/have more weaknesses/etc.

And people assume that they have been gutted and are completely useless because some champions are better than them.

its sad, but that is the difference between one trick ponies/meta-sheep and versatile players.
