The bias in the gameplay boards

As someone who one tricks a champion that did not really benefit from the lethality changes here are my thoughts:

So pre-lethality buffs:

"ADCS are literally useless" "AD Assassins can't do shit because they don't deal enough damage"

So now Riot listens and buffs Lethality. So now AD Assassins such as Zed and Talon actually feel pretty good to play and ADCs have made a comeback for the most part.

Now you guys are complaining that it's too much? That the champions that build lethality deal too much damage? My question is why aren't there any complaints about the mages who have been dealing crazy damage for awhile now? The other day I was watching Imaqtpie stream and he was playing Brand support and he literally 100-0'd the enemy adc by himself with nothing but item 2049 in his inventory. But this isn't being complained about because it's a mage right? What about the "oh that champion hit me with a skillshot, I guess I'll die or lose 70% of my hp" champions?

I just feel like the boards have a huge mage bias. Especially when I see threads asking for Ahri nerfs being downvoted heavily even though they are pretty well thought out. I also thought it was pretty funny to see many complaints about item 3814 in particular. An item built to protect AD champions against these mages.

All they had to do was buff it by 10% instead of 20% and eveluate how much stronger ads got, then provided additional buffs if neccesary. Also seriously no item should have a 30 second cd for something as powerful as a spellshield.

brand can at least be dodged before rylai

there's no counterplay to Quinn going from base to behind your turret in 6 seconds and then wiping you off the map with almost entirely targeted combo

boards does have a mage fetish though

Quinn is a hard champion to get counter picked but she is also vulnerable to dying as 6 jgler gank and tank and dive and kill her and she does not have escape due to channel of her ult early game. Plus gap closer top laners are good against her after initial health armor items.

While agreeing to you i say There is no bias. This bias is not being skilled enough being absolutely honest. There are players who are good and who are not. There are players who want to be good and there are players who do not want to believe they are not good. Comments like someone deals 70% hp and some do not is pretty stupid because champions are categorized. Burst, utility, assasins, dps.

And anyone WHO THINKS THAT LETHALITY CHANGES WERE MADE BECAUSE BRONZE< SILVER<GOLD< PLATINUM players were struggling are clearly delusional. The changes were made only for high diamond- pro play feedbacks. I wish i had a better word to show etiquette but saying utility champion do not do damage or tank tanks too much or dps does not burst is useless. I wish i could kill everyone just by pressing R with Ezreal.. Why rito why?????? :( why while yasuo can one shot you, or veigar can one shot you why not can i one shot with ezreal why rito whyy....

lol ... :) Also as answer to the main question... when you say about brand and other champions in bot lane or traditional op champions in low or mid eloes i think the answer to everything is PATIENCE. People do not have patience to farm up patiently till you get stronger. Those champions are strong because low to mid elo give brand or those kind of support free kills. They get higher in exp or level giving them base damage advanatage plus free gold to buy some ap items. Because ad carries are extremely squishy lower armor and mr as well that adds more to situation.Bot lane does not always have to be explosive. It can be a game of patience by taking advantage just by farming up. If they push too far , jg help, if not sustain or poke and keeping up with farm. At 10-18 min mark a sightstone completed brand cannot do much against your support which are designed with higher utility and an ad carry who has completed a significant damage item.
