Hard CC Soft CC and what's op and what's not!
I believe this and only this I'm slowly progressing and believe heavily that I'll be out of bronze by next season. I play 8 champions 4 bot my main 4 top my secondary depending on who I am facing. I now understand that a good 20 champions or so in this game I really don't like playing against though I know now it's not because I feel they are op, it's more I just don't like them lol for a variety of reasons. Knowing what they can do and how I can beat them does help out a lot. One thing I would like to see change is Riot making all hard CC effects be skill shot oriented and soft cc effects like slow, blind, etc to not cause as much damage to an opponent like Malphite's Q I feel does too much damage for it being a pretty powerful slow on top of it; if he has his ult he can almost guaranteed he's not going to die and on top of that he is free to poke you as often and due to items with mana regen he can use his Q often. While Pantheon on the other hand I feel that he needs a rework he's not fun to play against and requires little to no skill to play him and completely bullies his lane like horribly no matter who he is against unless you play a champion that counters him he's going to win that lane simply because he has zero skill shot's and sustainability doesn't matter much when you can't freely trade with him without taking damage back in return no matter what considering you can't dodge one of his abilities. I don't consider any of these champions to be op in the slightest bit I like to see a Pantheon stun be a skill shot and Malphite to not do as much damage on his Q when he's a sup at bot lane.
I like every champion in this game to be useful in some way I hate being shredded by Teemo because his scaling is outrageous for being a range character. I think that if they tone down the damage on soft cc, and make all hard cc like stuns be skill shot variant that's the best way to get people to want to play and bring the fun back into a game that is slowly becoming less fun to play. People like me want the opportunity to outplay any champion in this game we love it even if I'm countered I can play an Ashe up against Varus and come out victorious because there's room to outplay him while Pantheon their isn't much I can do against him especially since he can block my shit and has a point stun in the game and ntm his ult makes it really hard to shove a lane, but I don't considered that to be an issue just something unique about him, I just wish Malphite, Alistar, and Pantheon added more counterplay to them that's all, I'm sure there are others I really hate Draven but I know not to duel he'll kick my ass but I know how to beat him, while other champions not so much........Alistar just look at his kit I don't feel he's op in the slightest he's just one of those champions I hate playing against because man a good Alistar would really make it hard for me to snowball in lane no matter how crappy their adc is a good Alistar can protect him very well!
So yeah note to bronzies their are champions in this game that is going to be stronger than your champions that you like practice learn them study them you might find they aren't as op as you originally thought. When I first started playing I thought Kayle was op I hated Kayle like with a passion because of her ult but now it doesn't really bother me. People fear Darius right now and I'm like I'm playing Ashe or any of my adcs good fucking luck in killing me lol I just don't fear him like others do I like playing against him he's fun to play against I can kill him, he can kill me let the better player win, but again if I was to mention one thing it would simply be bronzies learn the game study your champions study every champ their are really only right now a handful of champions that you really can't do much against, and the more you ban Darius you need to realize eventually he is going to be played and if you aren't bothering trying to learn how to beat him you'll never be able to and you will be stuck in bronze because you really do need to learn every champion in this game because that's really what separates low level bronze players from silver league players is their simple knowledge of the game normally at least!
