Leauge of Legends isn't fun anymore. Low skill-cap champions vs high skill-cap champions.

Imagine playing a game where spending hundreds of hours trying to master a difficult champion is rewarded with... oh wait, nothing... Because riot games favor creating a game that is fun for everyone and equally rewarding for everyone. Here at riot games, we don't want effort and dedication to matter. A mentally r%%%%%ed monkey smashing his head at the keyboard should have the same chance at winning as someone who spends time perfecting their gameplay. At least thats how it feels like when I'm 10/0 hitting every skillshot as an assassin like zed, kiting like a god on draven, or hitting sick kicks with lee sin and yet I'm gettig ripped apart by a 0/10 volibear/garen with a full armor build. Could you please make low skill-cap champions be a bit weaker than high skill-cap champions? Is it so much to ask for? I mean, at least make them equally rewarding to play for a change.

There are only a few champions I've ever found legitimately difficult to play Elise Nidalee etc where you have to juggle 7 abilities basically or those with goofy mechanics like Kalista.

Other than examples like that every champion is more or less rinse, wash, repeat. Knowing the limitations of a champ, knowing when to use abilities in a given situation, positioning etc. These apply to all champions.

I think 99/100 when someone talks about how unskilled a champion is, it is usually fart-huffing because the assumption they are making is the champion they like to play requires UBER733t SkiLLz to play.

I dont understand this post. You're complaining about champs that have the player smash their head on the keyboard, but then complain Zed isn't doing enough. The most press R and smash your head champion in the game.

I mean...people practice the low skill-cap champions too. Playing someone like Zed should not give you auto-win status just because you know how to get your clones into Illuminati formation and land the Triple E/Q combo.

That's the same as saying Annie should auto-win just because she waited til she got her 4th spell charge for the stun before she dropped Tibbers on your face...the only real difference is Zed's setup requires extra steps.

Just because you mastered how to combo, doesn't mean you've mastered how to play the game. Those "monkeys" that smash their face into their keyboard aren't killing you because they're low skill cap. They're killing you because you have no way of dealing with them while they smash their heads into their keyboard. Your go-to combo doesn't work for them, and you lack the ability to actually think about a way of dealing with them outside of your bread and butter.

Congrats: you can combo, but you're still effectively more braindead than the "monkeys" that according to you, should have burning fucking migraines.

If you are going to complain about high skill-cap champions don't being rewarded, at least choose a really example. Akali and Irelia are trash tier right now, Zed requires 0 skill because how stjpdily broken he is and Lee is prob the 1-2 most op jungle by difference (Among Ekko)

And I agree with you that Garen players shouldn't be rewarded with an op champ being able to outplay you by smashing his head in the keyboard, but that examples lol

On the other hand there's the problem of some champs having tons of bonus outplay options through mobility creep

I just love it when I am 2/0 on irelia versus a 0/1 ryze, I land my E and R, he misses 2 Qs and he just wins. Or when I play zed and i need to hit 3 skillshots to deal half the damage a syndra does with her point and click R or a kai'sa does with her click Q ability. Those are the moments I play this game for. I'll probably just give in to riot's terrorism and main Jax or something since the most basic champions are the best.
