I'm Here to Vent (sorry in advance)
Now what I came here to talk about is in my opinion the biggest problem that is facing this game. This problem being champions that when are picked are going to be the (very likely) reason why a team wins or loses. Now what do I mean by this? I mean champions that riot has given the ability based upon their kit to have the capacity in a normal situation to take over a fight and 1v3 1v4 or even 1v5. Let me list a few of these champs.
and I even have to include the one of these champs I would classify in this category that i personally play
. Now I love gp, he is a very fun champion and as a matter of fact all of these champions are very very fun to play; however, I would trade him in in a heartbeat if these champs were changed to have a more team oriented killing role (as in not able to 1v3, 4 or 5 in a normal situation) or even just taking them out of the game which I know neither of which will happen.
Now all of these champions are late game champions that have a questionable early game, but there are a lot of champions that have this tendency of being late game champions that I did not place on this list. The reason being that champions like
although are very late game oriented champs, they are massively punished for being out of position. Where as the champions listed prior have the insane late game as well as forgiveness when out of position such as an ability that blocks everything, a .3 sec dash with a windwall, a targeted ability that allows for most everything to be dodged, and a heal that is an in kit qss. I don't mind these abilities in themselves, but in combination with the nature that the kits these champs possess, I think at the very least it is unhealthy for champions like this to single-handedly decide how a game turns out.
Now i will get one of two responses from this both negative and rightfully so because I'm bitching, but a quick rebuttal for both.
- Stop bitching
rebuttal- I will do my best, I've had a bad day and maybe I should bottle up any complaints I have about the game and just understand that riot does their best to make as fair and balanced of a game as possible. Maybe with a little bias, but that's impossible not to have.
2.Why don't you just play these champions yourself if they are so game breaking or game deciding or able to 1v3, 1v4, or 1v5. If that were the case then wouldn't everyone play these champions all the time and be hot fixed because this is such an epidemic? You also said these champions are very very fun to play. So isn't it even rewarding to play these champions so that you could gain elo and have loads of fun playing? Sounds like some salty bullshit to me.
rebuttal- I must confess something that there is a fairly high skill requirement that is involved with these champions, some of them higher than others, but overall these champions are on the grand scale of champions are in the top 20% of champs. That being said a huge reason I don't really play these champs that much is the fact that they bring upon a large amount of stress when playing them. You immediately have a target placed on your back and rightfully so. It's like being a jungler. It's polarizing, sometimes you get fucked by the enemy team and sometimes you just squeak by and then tear the game apart. I must admit I'm not a robot, I can't handle the stress of actually becoming a full time main for one of these champions. It would kill me or make me cynical. Now there is something to be said about winning at all cost, but that would come at a fairly slow rate, maybe have a 53% win rate over maybe 100 games or so to get anywhere. Now in the end that might look pretty balanced but I assure you it is not. This is because every time you load up a game and you lock in one of these champions you become 70-80% of the reason why your team wins or loses. And that in my opinion is the antithesis of balance, which is why I think this is of the utmost importance that this matter is attended to. No matter how you feel about this in the end this is something that has personally bothered me. And Im platinum 4 right now and have been playing since season 3 if that matters.
