why do high skill cap champs exist if low skill champs can wipe them easily? just a question shouldnt the game favor more skill = power? ofc not absolute power i mean skill should give more power instead of struggle.

yes low skill champs can beat out high skill champs
but it all lies on the player themselves
Teh Song1 votesSo here's the thing about champion balance. Skill floors can be all over the place, but every single champion needs to have the same skill ceiling.
When push comes to shove, every champion in the game needs to be equally viable. They can do different things, fill different roles, counter and be countered (which means they don't need to have the same pickrate or winrate) , but at the end of it all, they all need to be equally viable, which means having the same skill ceiling.
Why? Because if that's not the case, the champions with lower skill ceilings stop existing anywhere above average, or in some cases even at average. Picture the champion you think has the highest skill ceiling, then imagine a match where all 10 people are playing as that champion. That is in essence what would happen if more difficult champions were actually more effective.
Zardo1 votesBecause high skill cap champions have more options so they are easier to play in some scenarios.
Let's use azir as an example. Arguable one of the highest skillcap champions in the game. He can - poke in lane well, all in well, has decent mobility, has engage, has a strong early and lategame, and has long range. If he gets ganked he just dashes out. If he wants to engage he dashes in and ults.
Let's use annie as another example. One of the lower skill ceiling champions in the game. She has burst, and that's about it. It's not even super strong burst unless she's fed either. If she gets ganked she dies if she's not warding properly. If she wants to engage she either has to play around vision or have flash up.
TL;DR Does this make azir super OP? No. He's hard to play mechanically. You have to understand how to play azir well when you're playing azir, whereas when you're playing annie you have to play the game well.
