Something I Find Interesting

First of all, NOT a complain thread!

has had one of the highest winrates for quite some time, at least, according to lolking. She's arguably worse than stage four cancer for any melee champion, is extremely safe, and isn't really all THAT hard to do well with. Like, yeah, you need to not suck at her to get make plays, but just denying the enemy is pretty braindead. I am also well aware that Janna trades almost all offensive power for her ridiculous peel, but I just find it strange that nobody complains about her here on the boards. Personally, I've given up hope for this game's balancing and wouldn't even care if Riot decided to remove all AD items tomorrow, but I just find it really strange that it's always the diving assassins that people complain about, and never the defensive supports. Like, is being oneshot that much more infuriating than being denied and then slowly but hopelessly kited to death?

maybe the simple answer is that the people who are crying the most on the boards are adc mains who are doing the kiting.

bruisers are strong. "why are tanky champs allowed to deal as much damage as me?". theyre actually buffing them which causes assassins to become relevant "why are assassins allowed to kill me in .5 seconds?". mages are strong. "why are mages allowed to burst me from outside vision range?"

its just a constant stream of complaints like this. and if you look into the guys match history, 50% of the time its an adc main.

of course theyre not going to complain about someone like janna, because theyre the least affected.

But I wonder why all the ADC mains come here, and in relation to them, so little of players of every other class. It's weird, really.
