Nerf easy to play champs...

It's really annoying to go up against an easy to play champion and they are more rewarding than the champion you play. Like Annie, is she never gonna get a nerf? Easy to play champs shouldn't be rewarding. I'm playing Anivia and she takes skill, hard to play, and weak in this game. Are we not going to nerf the easy to play champs or buff the hard and skilled champions? It's not fair and enjoyable in the game to be playing a hard champ and they do better than you with an easy and rewarding champion. These champions are what I consider easy to play and have always been rewarding: Annie Yi Hecarim Lux Udyr Fizz Teemo Tryndamere and more that I don't like listing. I know easy to play champions are for new people but they shouldn't be better than hard to play champions. It's not fair at all if I'm playing a skilled champion like Anivia, Azir, or Cassiopeia and an Annie, Lux, Brand that are stronger in the meta and easy to play. IT ISN'T FAIR AT ALL AND MAKES THE GAME UNENJOYABLE. Am I suggesting that you nerf the easy champs to the ground? ABSOLUTELY! no? Then buff the hard champs so it becomes enjoyable for all and not just those unskilled champion players.

You are just bad at the skilled champions. Thing is most skillfull champions are balanced around pro-play, you know the best players around, and in reality they are far more powerful and with far more tools at their disposal. The easy to play champions have limited access to the combos and kits. Annie for example can only perform a handful of combos at most and all of them are telegraphed given you plenty of time to prepare. She sits in 0 or 1 stacks she is a sitting duck, she sits at 3 she is baiting you in, she sits at 4 she is zoning you or preparing a waveclear. You know exactly what she is doing and howto prepare. If you don't feel the skilled champions are rewarding is because you are probably crippling yourself and can't play it as its fullest potential.

Quoting this from another thread:

People have this misconception that playing ''hard'' champions makes them more skillful than playing ''easy'' champions. What they don't realize is:

-Champion mechanics is only a small part of the game. It can take 10 or even 50 games to master a champion, but it takes thousands of games to master the game. So champion difficulty is irrelevant. -''Harder'' champions usualy have more room in their powerbudget. Annie might be easier to play, and Zed harder, but when both champions are played, a Zed will have a easier time winning his lane. Result? The hard champion is actually the easiest, and the easy champion is harder. -Champions that require more mechanics often have high play and high outplay potential, which means that when the stakes are high, the high skillcap champion might be favorable -Champions with point-and-clicks are there to keep in check champions with high mobility. You can check the term ''Mobility Creep'' to understand the concept better.

Tryndamere is hard to pull off.

Annie, Lux, and Brand are so easy to destroy in midlane and if they go support, they become quite useless against a good support.

Yi is easily countered by CC. I mean a full support lulu can nearly solo him.

Fizz is also quite easy to destroy, just dodge ult, and if he one shots you, you are either an ADC or a really shitty tank.

Udyr, ignore him for the most part because all he wants is you to waste time chasing him and dont let him split.

Where have you been? I havent seen a teemo kick anyones ass in a year or so. All you need to do is learn how to play against him.

Every one of your "easy" champs can equally easily be countered.

they aren't. You just need to get better at your hard champions.

Ever heard the phrase "Simplicity equals success"?

Easy to play champs are just that, easy to play and therefore easier to do stuff with

Tryndamere is made to splitpush, which means the game is practically 4v5 unless you decide to be a fool and 1v1 him.

Annie has super low ranges and can get poked pretty easily by almost any midlaner, and shes pretty squishy so bye bye once an assasin gets on top of her. Shes not doing anything with only 1 passive stack. If she managed to burst you, your too close.

Teemo relies heavily on his blind, is squishy as hell, and has no escapes, hes only winning if your a melee champ, or walk into a mushroom minefield. And his blind is also innefective if you rely on your abilities to fight anyway

Lux cant do much if she misses her root, and her e does cost a shit ton of mana, so if she uses it to poke, she will suffer in the end. She has decent mobility, but no escapes, so once you get on top, its an ezpz kill

Udyr will do nothing but run at you in bear stance hoping for a stun, which he most probably wont land unless your enemy laner chain CC's you so hes kited fairly easily

Yi requires LOTS of gold to be effective, usually sufficing by just roaming for kills, and its not like leblanc where her roams are god tier so its easy for her to get kills, his build requires that he dosent kill steal, he must kill SIPHON. He takes so much gold off your potential carries, and his ganks almost never work because he has not one bit of CC, and if your a laner with no CC like katarina or heck, teemo, hes never coming to your lane. A yi will just play farming simulator for the next 20 minutes

(Tone of this post isnt criticizing, its meant to be constructive)

Yeah, make the new player experience even worse, why don't you? Besides, Harder champs have better rewards and outplay potential than easy champs.
