League is not about skill in lower elos
Its literally just about playing stronger champions. The %health/true damage all tank item champions that destroy teams, or the high sustain champions abusing Conqueror, the infinite stackers, no mana needing, strong early game and not really falling off late game bullshit champions. That is literally all its about... abusing things that are strong and Riot refuses to do anything about it. If I played this game simply to climb and not to actually enjoy it and enjoy the champions I play I would just abuse the meta and climb, while using only half my brain like a lot of other people are doing in lower elos. Its really sad to be honest.
