More OP Champions is a GOOD thing.

Yes, there are quite a few more champions that are overpowered right now.

But that's okay.

As long as there aren't only 2 for a given role, we won't get steamrolled when one is banned and the enemy has the other.

If they keep making champions too strong, maybe we'll actually see a 70-champion line up in Worlds this season, and League of Legends can ACTUALLY boast about having "over 120 individual characters" instead of giving half the truth when they leave out the fact only 40 are viable at any given time.

I'm a little tired of mirror match ups. Every game where I play Graves has another Graves in it. I tend to be using the Jailbreak Graves skin and say I'm his future self.

As long as he doesn't spill the milk, he'll be fine.

I'm in the same boat as you, where I like to play Normals with no bans simply because I think Mirror Matches are the only real test of skill. Counterpicking an enemy with equal skill is just like winning rock-paper-scissors when you know they've already picked Rock.

But Riot only cares about Ranked for balance, and so mentioned that the only reason OP champs are a problem is that sometimes you can't ban them all, so the other team gets the free win.
