Does anyone else get annoyed by Riot rewarding mechanically easy champions?
I am talking about the recent changes to
, a stupidly easy champion that requires little to no practice in order to play... and Riot is REWARDING HER!? Why exactly? If she was like Chan'ge in SMITE where you have to aim your Q and use your auras correctly, I could understand it but does Riot deliberately empower these champions in order the try and keep children interested in the game?
Its the same thing as
and
, both brain-dead champions that require little-to-no mechanical skill and yet Riot even considers making them so powerful. This is exactly Leagues problem at the moment.
There is absolutely NO REASON to learn harder champions when the easy ones are so stupidly overpowered that nobody will ever play harder champions. As soon as a skill based champion like
comes into the meta, Riot have to beat it out with repeated nerfs (Or in
's case "reworks") in order to make the champion not worth playing.
is just one example but Riot has done this across multiple roles, promoting easier champions while harder ones collect dust.
I think I know why, Riot want people to feel that players have accomplished something instantly. That way, more people will remain playing the game. Nobody wants to practice, everyone wants instant power gratification and Riot is providing that. However this is simply not sustainable in the long term, Riot needs to put more effort into their dedicated fanbase that actually bothers to learn complicated champions.


when I can play
and 2 shot people with zero skill?
(a champion that Riot refuses to leave alone) has mana problems and cannot continually spam spears until late game)
(Especially Leblanc) require alot of skill and knowing your limits. Sure, it's fun to win with the no skill champions, but that's going to get old.
Champions like
that need less skill in order to actually kill someone (Launch a bunch of stuns until it hits, use the slow move thingy, laserbeam, Dead.) are starting to pop up all over the place.
