League isn't skilled based anymore

Today's League of Legends is getting further and further away from being skill based and is more focused on playing a certain champion and you will almost always win a game. I have been playing league since around the end of season two or about the start of season three (can't exactly remember). Back in the beginnings of league, the game was much more skill based, and players with said skill could actually display it. In today's league, and I'm not talking about LCS here, the game is becoming less enjoyable because of this shift. I know I'm not the only one who thinks this way. Now I'm not saying that the whole game should get a revamp, but i think there should be some major changes in either champion abilities, their kits as a whole, or general items. I myself am not in a high elo, but I've been close in my person climbing multiple times, but my personal frustration or anger with the game is not the reason why I'm posting this, i think this could be a pressing matter that the league community should see. Players with actual skill are stuck down in lower elos and unable to get out because of certain champions. I also know that these champions aren't exclusive to one individual or a set few, but regardless, it's an issue that needs to be dealt with.

I'd like to hear back on any comments people may have about this topic, whether you agree with me or not.

  • Thank you

League has become more casual now.

I respect your position but i had to disagree with part of it. I feel like its more skilled based now then before. Before, alot of the champ abilites were simplier and too easy to land with little mechanically difficult champs, (of course there were some who were difficult to master but MOST werent.) Where as now a days all the champs comping out are more unique and mechanicaly difficult. LIke Ekko,Tahm,Bard, kalista, etc. These kind of champs make it alot more about skill.

That being said i DO agree that some champs are played way to much and you always see them played cuz there kits are too op. For example I see lucian, fizz, annie wayy too much.
