League will never be a good game again

Even if Riot reverted to a comparatively balanced season like season 4, the damage has already been done with new awful champ design. Fixing balance will never fix

Kaisa Xayah Zoe Yasuo Ekko Pyke Jhin

and I'm sure Riot will never remove them are even try to balance champions like Yasuo because of their "popularity".

Yet no a single one of these champions are seen in pro competitive play or even in high elo except maybe for Kai'sa and Xayah, I think the problem isn't the champions but the people who refuse to learn how to play as or against them.

So why then would anyone learn how to beat the champion they hate when they could just easily whine and ask for the champion to be removed.

Yeah Zoe was played and then nerfed into the ground, Tank Ekko was played and nerfed into the ground, Aphromoo likes Pyke and Yas/Jhin were select picks for specific team comps.

I can agree on this, Learn to beat the champion.

I’m with Zoe 101 on this, the issue isn’t their overturned, it’s that they are very difficult to play against. You behave to have skill to beat them. Once you’ve learned the proper patterns though, their just another champion.

Back when I was an Annie main, I hated Yasuo until I learned his dashing and other abilities. Then I’d just hit him with Tibbers and and drop all my spells if he failed to wind Wall in time. If not, walk through the wall and then dump them. Annie is an easy champ, but the principle is the same.

They just have to treat those champions like they did the old poppy and the game will be fine. There were just as many toxic designs in the past, morello just did a good job of keeping those champions from ruining the game.
