I 1v1'd a Jinx as Shen Jungle and killed her

I'm then told in all chat how Shen requires no skill, that cinderhulk and skirmishers need a nerf, and that if I wasn't using such a broken champ, I wouldn't have killed Jinx.

Are these the same people Riot has to appease?

Are these the same people Riot listens for balance?

Is this the reason why champs like Shen, Darius, and Garen won't get actual BUFFS?

"Actual"? Really? Did you just come out of a coma or do you just not read patch notes? Seriously though, you complain about people's mindset towards game changes but your standard for buffs seems to be "let them 1v3 eight minutes in".

I'm talking buffs to make them viable, not small buffs that won't do shit to them in actual games that are competitive, I can't pick Darius competitively.

Darius is still competitively viable as a lane counter to any melee champ, same as garen. No matter what buffs or nerfs they receive they will always have a niche role that they fill. Part of the problem is that you are trying to take niche role champs and use them in any comp. Not every comp fits every champ.

Cinderhulk I'm fine with, but thisitem 3709 or any of it's build variants is op as balls. They fact that one can combine cinder hulk with this item gives all jgers an immense amount of power extremely early in the game. Blue smite items are straight up op. Please don't nerf riot, I'm not done riding the eve freelo train yet, and she's only viable because of this item. Hell she's viable mid lane again because of this item and the team gets to run double smite for mad obj control, which is cool in a world where cho and nunu see tons of play.

Darius does NOT COUNTER EVERY MELEE CHAMP.

Darius has melee counters, would you like me to list them?

Cho'Gath Pantheon Riven(this is a skill match-up) Garen(skill match-up) Rumble Renekton(skill match-up, they are both one in the same) Mordekaiser Yorick Malphite Singed(if the singed player knows what the hell he's doing)

Do I need to list more?

"Do I need to list more?" You probably shouldn't.

Riven(this is a skill match-up) Garen(skill match-up) Renekton(skill match-up, they are both one in the same)

Considering you list match-ups, you, yourself, define as equal matches, and list them as "Counters", you don't get what they are. Further, outside the early game that match-up in reality favors Darius, for example.

I'm pretty sure Riot doesn't really listen to anyone but Diamond+ regarding gameplay feedback. The rest of us just work with what the High Elo Overlords decree.

Tank finally able to annihilate ADC > Needs a nerf ASAP :3

Since when is right-clicking everything to death skill? Sure, as Jinx you press R and E and W every once in awhile, but still.

Besides, it's her fault for positioning. If you let a tank in melee range, you're kiting wrong.
