Being high elo with low mechanics champions does not mean you are skilled

Just so all of you out there know.

Like if you're Masters but hard main Amumu Soraka Darius , you are NOT good or a real player with more credibility than people allegedly lower than you that play champions like LeeSin Leblanc Yasuo

I could see the reasoning behind that, but easier champions tend to have less options than those champions listed. Darius may be easy to understand, but he has to deal with champions with more flexible options than him.

Being able to see a persons reasoning doesn't make that reasoning any more valid or less flawed.

Lol, I love how 2 of the 3 champs he list are pub stomper scrub champs. Raka is harder to play then that weeb trash.

Soraka: Ummm, you're killing my lane partner?, lemme press W to heal it up to max while I chill on the back...

Dude u even thought what u just said, in no way u can say that Soraka is harder than any champ in the game, when her only function is to heal, NO MORE AND NO LESS...

Her Q is harder to land then almost any other skillshot, and her e placement wins fights. She is a lot more then a life bot. She isnt as flashy as nami, but just as good.

Pretty shure your a real player regardless of elo or champion pick.

but you main soraka, and having simpler mechanics means you need to know how to play around the opponent that has more complicated things they can do and usually means they have good macro play, so micro play means even less, though i'd say they're using less skill that someone of a more complicated champ

If you're playing Soraka as a heal bot, you're playing her wrong.

But you're a Soraka main. So does that mean you are not a good/real player?

A champion being worse than another doesn't imply they are harder.

Darius is much easier than Lee Sin, even if he is worse in high elo.

There's so much more to this game than mechanical skill with a "hard to play" Champ.

There is not only mechanics that bring you into high elo. Your mechanics can be average, but if your macro play is excellent and your shot callings work out just right, you will climb much higher and faster than someone with good mechanics, but poor macros.

Maybe theres much more to the game than just champion mechanics. Theres mechanics like csing, wave manipulation, trading and trading in regards of wave manipulation, then theres macro, decision making like map movements, roaming, matchups, positioning in teamfights, reaction time, positioning in lane, lane priority, freezing, ganking, setting up ganks, warding, game knowledge, jungle routs and doing them efficiently..... and a million more. A fucking soraka that only w in lane sitting behind her carry is a useless iron 4 garbage, comparing to a challenger playing her positioning, trading, wave manipulation help and understanding only in a mechanical way.
