Before Saying a Champion is Overpowered

Understand their matchups. I'm sorry that your favorite champion isn't capable of defeating every champion in the game, mine can't either. In fact, no champion can.

How to defeat any champion ever:

  1. Are there certain champions that you struggle with on a regular basis? Find a guide on said champion. For example, many players struggle with Annie.

http://www.lolking.net/guides/188692

Here is a guide made by a pro player that shows which supports counter her. Get good with one of those supports, Annie is no longer an issue. Same goes for any champion. If there is a champion that you always hate fighting, chances are you play a champion(s) that they counter. Expand your champion pool.

  1. Play that champion. It will help you understand their weaknesses. For example, I used to struggle against Riven. I would hug my turret and get denied of farm all day. Then I got Riven. Riven has a long CD after she pops her shield, damage her when its off CD and make use of the fact that she has horrible base HP Regen, she'll go back in no time. Etc....

TL;DR Before you say a champion is OP, why not look into their matchups? Why not find out their weaknesses instead of crying NERF OP NERF?

I used to hate Thresh during my support main days.

Then I finally got Thresh to see what the hype is about.

I no longer think Thresh is OP.

You can also see what those guides say about the downfalls in general and figure out how to play around them if you don't want to learn a new champ lol.

Thats what I've done with a few champs because I wouldn't lose outright, but it was close. So when I realized what were their weaknesses I got better overall instead of playing for the moment I played for the future and became a better player for it.

Changed the guide to one from lolking because people didn't understand the point of the thread. Knowing your champions matchups is key to success.

You'd be surprised. Look at how many Riven threads/complaints there are. I don't even play Riven, but I feel so bad for those that do due to her inevitable nerfs.
