When games were heavily impacted by counter picks and how well you knew match ups

And not just which team had the most s tier picks go through?

Not really. Champion picks have only ever mattered at very high elo.

Lol. Idk about you, but garen used to hard stomp riven at every tier even with basic knowledge. Now the match up is entirely based on whether or not riven takes grasp instead of conquerer.

I remember when the game wasn't full of so many champions, so many mobility skills added to said (new) champions, when also bruisers weren't too big of a thing, when the game felt like it had much more balance than where we are now, and when they weren't always reworking champions that ended up removing the champion's identity that people got attached to.
