Brain Dead Champions

Just wanted to get this out there, we here the term brain dead champion a lot in LoL. So many people get so offended when they hear the term too. I just wanted to say when someone calls your favorite champion Brain-Dead it is not ment to be a personal insult vs you... its just ment to describe a very simple champion. Some Champions are very basic in comparison to others so the term brain-dead is normally used to describe simple Kits that tend to play themselves out.

For example if someone says Nasus is a Brain dead champion, they are not calling you the Nasus player stupid or brain dead for picking him... they are simple trying to explain that the champions kit is extremely simple to play. I mean look at his kit... Passive(Soul Eater) free life steal , Q(Siphoning Strike) AA reset W(Wither) Exhaust but with further range, E(Spirit Fire) is probs the hardest part about Nasus kit and this "skill shot" is gigantic and E max Nasus is pretty strong because of it. You can press these skills in any order as fast as possible in a fight and actually do well, His Ult(Fury of the Sands) is also very simple.

When you compare this champion to something like Azir or Ryze he is very much Brain dead... just remember you are not Brain dead for picking him so don't treat it as an attack on your personal character.

Then call it a simple champion there's literally no need to call it a brain dead champion unless you're intending the insult the player using the champion.

I agree with YOUR sentiment, but 99% of the time when someone says that about a champion, they are raging at/targeting the enemy player, essentially saying the player is "unskilled" because it doesn't take any decision-making to play that champ; and that they enemy player doesn't deserve their victory.

When someone says your champ is braindead, they don't insult your intelligence, they insult your skill. They deny you the merit of playing well.

There really is no reason to call a champ Braindead in the first place.

Or we could refrain from using a negative connotation and thus, avoid misunderstandings. Just a thought.

Well Nasus is a big annoyance if you rely on using dashes or high moblity so once he presses W, you're screwed.
