You don't miss strategy nearly as much as you claim
In fact I'm pretty sure most of you hate:
- Getting counterpicked
Self explanatory.
- Counterpick champions
Deride them as binary and toxic but never actually say why this is a bad thing. It's just bad because it's bad even though they're the exact thing you should be wanting in League, because they enforce strategy.
- Generalist champions
Because, naturally, you're self-contradictory. (Of course, mages and tanks are exempt from this; we love them unconditionally.)
- New strategies like Int Sion, Zz'rot stack, anyone going into a lane you wouldn't expect them to/don't want them to
Because you might have to play or pick differently. And that kills strategy.
- Champions that force you to make macro decisions over winning automatically you juked a skillshot
Because you might have to play differently.
- When your champion might not be a good pick for the game
It's not always your meta. Accept that.
What you should say when you claim to yearn for strategy is that you really wish you could always play your one-trick and not be challenged by anything new. Anything that makes your champion less favorable or outright bad on a per-game basis isn't fair to you, but anything your champion might do that ruins the enjoyment of someone else is completely fine. Anything that doesn't let you play the way you want is bad, even if it's intended to counter you; Akali dumping on targeted damage, Illaoi obliterating tank-stacking, Yasuo countering ranged, Janna shutting down bruisers, the list goes on.
When you say you miss strategy you conveniently forget that this includes everything you don't like dealing with. You don't want anything that makes life harder for you to get stronger, because that would mean you'd have to adjust, which means there's less strategy..
I don't claim to be above any of this. I'd just like to point it out since you guys have been echoing this sentiment.
Just remember that everything that lead up to where we are right now are things that you asked for and celebrated in the past.
, On one hand, she is arguably toxic because she has immense power with few tradeoffs. On the other hand, all of her skillshots are slow, she is immobile, she is very item dependent, she requires time to set up, her ult is her only real strength and her skillshots contain her entire power budget. Despite her huge power, she says it herself that broken bones teach better lessons. If you let her hit you with her easily avoidable damage or rush into situations that she favors, she is going to win because you chose to forget the basics and not dodge her skillshots
, who automatically ruins every ranged combo in the game unless you break his shield or are a convenient counterpick to him (which places you into counter-attack range or wastes an ability), he gains free stats throughout his kit, is very mobile, scales into a defensive hyper carry with the earliest late game power spike in the game, has a basic ability that SURPASSES ULTIMATES IN POWER and more
(though at least he is a numbers issue, but has riot changed him at all after worlds?)
became a lane bully that suppresses interaction with his barrels, it's almost impossible to balance OFF-POSITION picks because they use the opponents' learned behaviors against them but I support that "meta" is not the one and only way to play the game
