I Feel Like The Term OP Is Thrown Around So Much It Doesn't Mean Anything Anymore

Overpowered usually use to mean something was so game breaking you were gonna lose 8/10 times, but now i feel like people throw OP around every time something is STRONG. For example reworked and were just straight up OP on release. But like tank wasn't OP or anything, sure it was annoying and took away a lot of the risks Glass Cannon had but you could still stomp him early with the right picks and decision making. Tank on the other hand was broken (on release).

BTW I'm not trying to say something that is strong shouldn't be toned down a bit but USUALLY there is a way to fight them + there are a lot of things to take into account like team composition, items and the current META.

Mordekaiser Leblanc XinZhao were BROKEN, not OP. They were so strong that they were literally firstpick/ban or get completely steamrolled. Tank Yasuo wasnt as bad as people said. Tank Ekko was also BROKEN. Someone that i would say is OP is someone such as Yasuo , Release TahmKench , Zed , pre rework Yorick , release Devourer Warwick , THEY are OP, because the champions kits were the problem, not the actual numbers.

OP is the same concept as saying "it is bad/broken". It does not identify any of the real issues and in turn does not offer any real solutions.

It's easier to complain than learn, no?

There has never been any champ like that in leagues history. The highest winrate ever was post rework Skarner who has a 60 something percent winrate, or about 6.5/10.

To me overpowered is a fairly simple concept, you have a zone of average power, where the majority of champs lie and champs stronger than a certain point are overpowered.
