Your thoughts on the matter

Ok guys, With the juggernaut update and the Project skins I have a serious question. How is it fun playing.... for lack of a better term "easy" champions. Now it might just be how my mind acts, or it might just be the silver 5 talking but this is what i don't get. Now i can get playing champions like: Garen, Annie, Yi, Cait (had to have an adc in there of course O.o) and umm.... taric? Needed to complete the 5 man team and needed a support xD) in ranked to net in some easy wins, especially in my elo :c. But when you're playing normals, and you are doing it TO have fun, how do you sit over there and play those champions. like sure you might have a 10 game win streak, but how does it feel to say that you did it without even paying attention, your champion is literally doing all the work for you.

LIke dont get me wrong even with my warped low elo mind i know that there is some things that will make a huge difference between... lets say a gold 2 garen main and a bronze 3 garen main, but that is game knowledge and has damn near nothing to do with champion mechanics. (now feel free to correct me here) But a bronze 3 garen main and a gold 2 garen main will do the exact same things (champion wise) but in different scenarios due to the gold knowing way more about the game than the garen. but i can get the first couple of games being fun, quite literally azz raping your laner (dont know if you can cuss on this >.<) but then even if your continuing to pwn doesn't it get boring?

(now like i said feel free to correct me/flame me but these are just my thoughts on the matter :/ if you have a different opinion, or know why it is fun.. pls just post it. especially because i WANT to play these champions so i can get out of low elo easier but i really can't... isn't a game supposed to be fun QQ)

I wouldn't say Zed, Yasuo, or Fiora are that easy. That and, while still an adc and innately simple, Lucian is one of the more interesting of the ADCs.

I used to love playing Yasuo nonstop in normals because it's so much easier to BS certain plays. Get through the early game cheese strats that Yasuo used to be infamous for, go from being able to dash through every minion to intentionally trying to dash through every minion, and holy shit Yasuo's kit just feels so smooth to play. With enough attack speed and some levels in E, just the flow of his kit is enough to make me enjoy myself.

And that's probably the big thing about "simple" champions, they tend to flow within their kits better. Take a champion like Azir or Kalista, who puts a whole new dimension on what's supposed to be one of the both the simplest and most used mechanics in League: Auto Attacking. New players or those just wanting to play casually in a low stress environment must be incredibly turned off by how juxtaposed these guys are to the rest of the League.

And then there's thematic love. From Dunkmaster Darius to now apparently mental Garen, some champs just have a lot of charm to them even outside their kits.

If they are so easy, get diamond with them or at least plat. If you can't, they aren't easy.

What's more important? Getting out of low Elo or playing champions you have fun with?

You can do both with enough perseverance.
