Why I have a problem with people calling champions OP (zed, leblanc, nidalee, etc)

I don't really care if someone shares their opinion, but when someone has 100-200 normals games, barely any ranked and has little game knowledge then it gets me salty like saltopia. Trust me when I say this, this game takes a while to learn; one day you can think master yi is OP then you will keep gaining knowledge until you can finally think reasonably on what is OP and what isn't.

Another big reason is because most people with that little bit of experience will become sheep and one day say "x champion is OP" then switch to "X champion sucks, X champion is now OP"

tl;dr experience is key

I have a problem anytime anyone calls anything OP. This item is OP! Oh man this champ is OP! Damn that movie is OP! Why are turrets so OP! Minions OP! Scuttle Crab OP!

When everything is OP it destracts from anything being OP. Over powered. Is what OP means. If 3 out of 4 things are OP, then none of them are over powered one of those things just sucks. Soemone turret dives Leona and gets stun locked, suddenly she's OP (For that reason not the other one) Veigar one shot our LB last game 50 mins in and she cries OP. It honestly is a pet peeve of mine. Lissandra is OP. Annie is OP. Flash is OP. Warding Totem is OP.

Master Yi is not OP because pretty much the entire game is built around removing this guy from existence, as long as you have functioning brain that is capable of watching out for him, this guy won't go far.

Then there are kits that are horribly designed with twice the stuff to play around with than everybody, lower cd, more mobility and with no resource management. While at the same time they also seriously lack champ or item counters, nor can they be counterplayed by default, making them extremely strong unless Riot nerfs the numbers so bad they are worse than minions otherwise they will always be leaning on the strong side, or sitting on top tier no matter what.

The second one is what we call "OP".

And ofc there are times where it's just numerically OP by having too high of stats, but they are generally easily resolved since you just balance the numbers against statistics and it's ready to go.
