PSA: Skill Trumps Champion Strength

Zenthon Prime··8 votes·588 views

No, really.

I'm not even going to joke that I'm good at this game (currently S3), but as far as I can tell every champion with the sole exception of maybe Veigar (and that will no doubt change soon) is viable up until at least upper Diamond if you main them. Stop claiming that it impossible or even unlikely to have a positive winrate and climb the ladder if you don't play "top-tier" champions and that said champions are the only picks that matter.

I don't think anybody will really dispute that a godlike Urgot can win bot lane against a bronze Graves.

The problem is when some champions are so bad that you have to have a massive skill gap in your favor just to not lose. I'm sure that if I mained Veigar and got really good at him I could win games with him. But why even bother doing that when I can play LeBlanc and do the same thing, but stomp 10x harder because I don't need to be nearly as good compared to my opponent?

Here we go, only response needed. Glad this is obvious to other people.

They are both factors that play into whether you win or not, and how quickly you climb (if at all). It's not an either-or thing.
