"STFU. Your champ takes no skill."

Laraso··89 votes·7,485 views

Oh my god, stop saying this. While some are harder to master than others, no champion in this game is mechanically difficult. Skill comes mostly from decision making.

So please stop acting like you're better than other players because they have no "skill", when you're losing your lane.

Same here when I wreck with Annie. I mean...if Annie were as OP and easy as people make her out to be when I've got 20 something kills...wouldnt everyone auto lock annie? lol

I see plenty of people who pick Annie and dont keep their stun up 24/7 when theyre not csing.

Bind it to F, so if someone complains you can be like, "F that guy, and the rest of his team too"

To be fair, Garen is pretty much essentially a noob champ. You dont need any skill to play him outside of basic mechanics.

So you are saying if you have played 10 games as Garen, you're as good as the guy who loves Garen and played him 500+ matches and picks him every chance he gets?

If not, then your statement is wrong. OFC there are good and bad Garens even if his kit is simple.

Somebody told me that while I was playing Azir. They were playing MasterYi. I've never been more confused.

chriserit2 votes

happened to me too ... but he was playing Katarina I was like "wtf did he said?"

For those who want to know what happened: she jumped on me when i was near my turret then istantly i ulted her on my tower and WQ to kill her... she was so angry that i just pressed R to kill her that came out with this.

Well if you're playing XinZhao you've essentially turned on auto-pilot.

To playXinZhao you must first BE A MAN

Be a man We must be swift as a coursing river Be a man With all the force of a great typhoon Be a man With all the strength of a raging fire Mysterious as the dark side of the moon

Tryndamere def has no skill involved.. "oh, I'm about to die, Press R and be a god for 6 seconds (really 5 but this game lags and adds more time to his ult) and do 3.5k damage in .5 seconds from two instant crits..

AFK Push2 votes

You wanna talk about broken ults then we better be talking about Poppy. At least trynd is squishy and can be cced, also a well timed ignite will kill a trynd if he is low enough in his ult.

i dont get this lag your talking about its only 5 seconds for me and thats basically what an average barbarian does in a fantasy like game be happy trynd can be stopped by cc meanwhile Poppy

I lagged as LeeSin and freaked out. I pressed every button for my combo and when I caught up to the game I got a double kill during a team fight

You can say that, but point and click abilities are clearly easier to use than skillshots.

I also love it when a 3-4 man gank happens and that person says, "wow it takes 3 people to kill me, pussies."

I'm just like, "but you're dead right?"

Ramuhdo2 votes

Whenever I kill someone with a 4-man gank, I don't think it's a matter of, "I need 3 friends to kill you", but more a matter of, "I HAVE 3 friends that will help me kill you". Meanwhile, they're probably raging at their team for not helping him.

MasterYi Nasus

I get so much shit every time I do well with these guys.

"Congratulations, you know how to press Q. So much skill."

atomicwit7 votes

Yi, I give some credit to but I can't see much skill to Nasus beyond general game knowledge that applies to any champion.

Only Play Darius5 votes

As a Nasus main, i'm insulted.

Have you ever played Nasus? His early game is absolute trash, being able to stack at a rate of 200/10min without getting murdered or ganked takes an extraordinary amount of practice and skill.

EDIT: I see that i'm getting downvoted to hell due to Nasus being the target of a circlejerk at the moment. I kindly ask anyone who downvotes me to try Nasus out in a few games and see how difficult it is to consistently do well with him. He's 1350 so you have no excuses.

atomicwit16 votes

How do you die as a Nasus though? You have lifesteal, Wither, a tanky setup and can farm under turret with relative ease or just freeze it right in front. I don't know why it's supposed to be harder for Nasus to avoid dying than any other champion. It's not like he's easy to turret dive (especially at 6). You can also just recall and TP if you got into trouble. It's true that he can't go very aggressive but I think it's almost impossible to stop him from farming unless you have 3 man ganks top.

You don't even have to do anything to your opponent. Nasus is basically PvE for 20 minutes and then auto-wins lane. I'll grant that Q farming efficiency is higher on a good Nasus but I still don't think there's anything fundamentally challenging about him. He's like a super safe Tryndamere who can also teamfight. The biggest downside to him is the time his team needs to survive without losing too hard.

Darth Ponzius2 votes

Suuuure, this can be real if you don't have an opponent that can easily harass you and punish you for every cs you want to take and that can freeze the lane too.

djjomon2 votes

This. Unless Nasus has a good matchup, he will be bullied out early game. He's always gank bait. It's a blessing in disguise though. Is the jungler really looking to waste time killing the Nasus who will outscale anyway? He's better off letting Nasus do his thing and get other lanes ahead. Generally speaking

Yi is actually one of the highest skill cap champs in the game with is Q

He just has a very very low skill cap

I have a theory that next season is gonna be so reliant on skillshots that Yi mid will be part of the meta

Yi mid does puns of damage

Unless you were intentionally trying to contradict yourself, I suspect you meant he has a low skill FLOOR.

They're mostly referring to their ults, not the champions itself (even though it seems that way)

For instance, Vi

tofutime3 votes

Let's be real guys. Some champs are way easier to play than other champs and some champs are way easier to fck up with than other champs. Some have "flashy" moves but doesn't mean that your skills are flashy. Akali for example is a prime example of noob friendly yet flashy champ. All point and click abilities. Huge gap closer. A "did you buy your pink ward yet?" checker skill. Also yeah spacing and kiting is important but Akali thrives on sustained melee ranged fights because of her lifesteal and spellvamp so it's better for her to just stand in melee range and duke it out with the other noob that doesn't have those healing mechanics. Granted she is pretty nerfed but seriously if anyone thinks they are some mechanical god because they play Akali think again please.

Then there is Draven. Any good Draven player I respect 100% because that shit is hard. Trying to catch axes while being in a good position is ridiculous and I never understood how people do it in a middle of a team fight. They need to plan their next move while their auto is midair to get into the next position. Usually as an ADC I wait to see if I got a crit to see if I want to move forward or move back. Draven players have to make a judgement call before seeing what damage they do, catch the axe while dodging potential CC and all this crap. Good job Draven players.

However, I'm not one to make a comment like "your champ takes no skill" But I do proceed to roll my eyes when a Fiora, Akali, Kat, Talon, Darius, Irelia, Pantheon, Xin and countless other binary champs talk smack and start saying stuff like "outplayed" or think they just did a Faker level mechanic and type all this crap in all chat.

Ramuhdo3 votes

I admit I get salty when an enemy Katarina dominates, just because she feels like a point-and-click champion to me mechanically. And getting beaten by point-and-click skill makes me salty as hell.
