Skilled Champs vs. Braindead Champs

Chøpsticks·5/18/2019, 10:05:36 PM·3 votes·1,747 views

It's simple. Why do the braindead champions get more benefits from the game than skilled champs do? Why do champs like, adc's, Nasus, Veigar, and Ziggs become strong by doing something that requires no real skill or struggle. It is also quite annoying how they are also decent early game. They have a chance of winning lane against you, then they start scaling insanely. By 20-25 minutes, they are impossible to survive from just by farming or poking. It sucks when you are an assassin but they kill you faster than an assassin can 1 shot plus some having a lot of range. I would just like champions that require skill to be stronger than those that have lock on abilities and insane scaling passives.

Nas and Veigar take farming skill. Your job is to slow that down by zoning and your junlger by ganking to kill them before they become strong.

Ziggs has the hardest skill shot to land in the game (Q) and all of his abilites are skill shots. I don't think he is braindead.

Real braindead champions are Rengar Talon Zed etc. who get kills just by smashing their heads to the keyboard and doesn't even need to land their skill shots.

Nasus and Veigar? Become strong with no real skill? Are you stupid or are you stupid?

Try playing Nasus vs a ranged champion in top and try playing Veigar vs an assassin in mid. They are late game monsters. Unless they are early, mid and late game monsters, then your point would be valid.

Even if the champion is easy to play, you'll still require skill. Hell, that can even go to Annie and Garen.

I agree that champs need to have power based on skill cap and not just "free" damage. You look at a champs stats and it has a meter of how hard a champ is to play. I don't believe beginner champs should trump ones that take skill to use IMO

Ziggs takes more skill to play than zed or yasuo. Ever tried playing a squishy skillshot reliant mage into certainlyT's designs? yeah, very easy.

Damn, people still really blame losing on "braindead" champs? Champions with little skill expression generally have other things in their kit to balance out their lack of mechanical skill in the form of game knowledge. All champions require a certain skill set to play well, it's tough to admit, but if you lost, it's quite possible that they were just better than you, or their team was better than yours. Maybe they got a good jungler that ganked at an ideal time, maybe they drafted better than you, maybe they took safer plays and cashed in on mistakes you made, maybe they just CSed better than you and build a lead.

If theres a champion that is depending of its skillshots its zoe. Everytime you want to trade you have to know to land a perfect skills shot with 3 of your abilities.If you miss one of you ability and you wasted the other two. Just learning how to use her Q and E to their full potential take a lot of practice and skills.

LOL

Veigar has 3 skill shots one of which is a ring AoE. The only champion I can think of that has more skillshots is Lux.

Skillshots take skill, it's in the name, SKILLshot.

It's totally up to the player as to what is hard. Person X could be winning every single Azir game and just straight up inting on Annie. While there are objectively easier champions, it's more dependent on the players, hence this makes close to no sense.
