Do you ever get the feeling too many champions revolve around luck?

I am speaking specifically of champions like Katarina, who does the same thing every game. Absolutely no strategic choices to her kit, she just blindly will teleport into a team and spam her ult. If somebody has CC, she'll die, if its on cooldown, you'll die. She seems like a very polarizing and lazy champion. Riot did have the chance to change her but opted to keep the same concept while empowering her with added mobility and not much more then that. Despite this, she is still a very brainless and strategically limited champion.

She will however, get a massive reward just for one lucky play when other champions take decidedly more skill to play and reward much less for being harder.

There are other countless examples of champions that are essentially very polarazing in playstyle and very lazy and luck based. Blitzcrank , Thresh , Malzahar, MasterYi, XinZhao ect. These champions seem to be built entirely around a singular "gimmick" that is very luck based.

Yeah, you really don't know what you're talking about. Riven, zed, and yasuo are just luck too, right?

blitz and thresh are luck

Wouldn't say luck, a more skilled player will come out of those situations victorious more frequently than someone unskilled.

However I totally get your point, especially when referring to Blitzcrank.

You can miss all 60 hooks through the game, but you just so happen to fluke one mid-late game and that is game over.

that awkward moment when conserving mana and saving cc is part of the skill involved in league of legends
