I'm never going to understand the mentality that counterpicking

and winning lane after you get like 10 ganks on your part makes you better than your opponent. This is coming from someone who gets ganks from their jg about as often as Melee Players shower (0) so I've been conditioned to win by my own hand. My friend even told me he generally won't gank for me because I generally (when i'm not learning the new champ) can carry myself whether i'm being camped or not.

Just don't see the expression of skill when you have an obvious handicap. no matter how good the play is. Not to say junglers don't add excitement and mystery. But It's almost universally annoying on the recieving end if you aren't Illaoi in a good lane.

My favorite is when they shit talk you about your Champion. "Your Champion is broken OP BS" they say Nvm the fact thier jungler lives in your lane and on average the Chance of winning the match up is less than 30% AKA a Hard counter.

Skills not even seen in this game anymore. Now a stacked nasus can just dive you why cus that tower u protected with ur time for 20 mins is useless. Now look at jg. Point and click dash champs like xin run all over the game and win. Talking bout lanes midlane is the only to have things that take skill to play. But mids irrelevant if it doesn’t roam to bot lane. Now botlane, is just a clown fest, ether they feed and loose or they get fed and throw.

It’s not even about solo carrying now it’s just about how many bs things you can do, b/c your opponent legit can’t do anything about it.

Now that we have 10 bans. It just saves us a bit from the other torture picks out there.

I can grant you a solem diamond ring, that not one person, can go from the the direct bottom of low elo to the high sky high elo. Without, abusing, broken things.

So what’s skill anyway now. This just goes to show how “good” players are by just getting handed ways to win. In my opinion if this game was to have skill. Then every champion hard or easy. Strong or weak. Can be viable and be strong enough to win games. If you call it balance then it is.

Macro play is also non existent, which also takes skill. It’s not so simple for one laner to carry his team, or even control their actions less then the fact every single game you could carry.

Even if your just playing a champ that scales you suffer more then our feeding teammates b/c the enemy team will just bang you. Run down your lane and crush it.

This game is forever going to have shitty metas, until riot looks at every single champ and fixes the game in the long run before worlds or I have a feeling, we will see some of the most ridiculous things in the biggest esport competition.
