There is a difference between balanced and hard to play.

I constantly hear this argument when somebody calls my champion easy Kassadin and that I couldn't play their champion Vayne because it's too hard for me.

Just because a champion is "hard to play" doesn't mean it's balanced. I just want to stop hearing the crap of "x" champion being easy, and stupid, because I killed "x" champion that's "hard to play."

OP champs are generally easier to "play" because you need less skill to do well with them. Even if the skill cap is extremely high, the threshold to be decent is a lot lower.

I don't see how someone could call Kassadin easy. Sure, he doesn't have tough mechanics, but you need to be really careful about what you do. On top of that, this champion is pretty underpowered atm, making him more difficult to perform well with. Vayne on the other hand has a high micro skill cap, but she's so damn good atm that even if you fail half the time, you will still be beating the enemies.

I respectfully disagree. Zed Leblanc Azir Elise Gnar LeeSin Nidalee Olaf Orianna RekSai Rengar TwistedFate Yasuo all require quite a lot of practice to just go even with most champs. But once you master them, it's GG.

Yeah. I was taking shit from a losing Zed while playing Kassadin, because he said my champ was easy.

Good news for you, Kass ult is getting a slight damage buff on the PBE.

He needed it I'm glad. I don't play him much anymore, but back before champion mastery was a thing. I would have had a five. I'm just glad they finally see that he's not a broken piece of shit when you remove his silence. No assassin needs a silence.

I totally agree. I seriously hate it when a champion is completely overpowered, but yet people refuse to believe it simply because they are hard to play. Let me tell ya something folks, being hard to play is not an excuse for a champion to be blatantly overloaded or overpowered.
