The ever fine line between Over Powered and Annoying as Hell
There are plenty of posts on these forums about how certain champions (
) are borken as all get out and need nerfs/reworks/removal.
But ask yourself this: are these champions too strong for the game, or are they too frustrating for the game? Do you, as a player, want them removed because they have incredibly powerful kits which dominate the rift, or do you want them removed because they seem to dominate the rift, because they are flashy and encourage a certain...how do I put this...ah, "mid or feed" attitude?
This attitude goes something like this: I am better than everyone else on my team in every game, and anytime we win, it is because I carried the entire game and basically 1v5 since minute 3. But if my team ever loses, it was either because everyone else intentionally fed the enemy team, or because I DIDN'T GET MID!" (or the role they wanted, which is of course the only role they know, or so they say)
so, are the champions to blame, or is it the players who succumb to this "mid or feed" mentality by picking them to blame?
Lets be clear, I dislike this mentality, but I do not dislike these champions soley because they encoruage this mentality. they all have their weaknesses, they all have their strengths, just with these FEW (might I remind you, FEW), their strengths hide their weaknesses from view
Edit for clarity: I am asking readers if a champion needs a rework because they are too strong, or because they elicit certain reactions from the players around them (annoyance from enemies, "mid or feed" from users)
: Ult is fairly dodgeable, can be kited quite effectively, still has an abusable weak early game.
: Has extreme burst but puts himself in risky spots in order to do that burst
&

: All bring high damage + utility but are easy to burst down
: Super high damage/utility on a tanky champ, but everything on his kit is easy to dodge

, although a lot of these champs fell out of favour with the rise of tanks, explaining why Jinx seems so dominant now.
