The "Skill" Argument

So tired of people bringing up the skill argument when they start losing games in ranked. Yes, some champions require more skill than others, but when you queue up for ranked, you are expected to be skilled at whatever champion you are playing. So stop bringing up the "your champ takes no skill" "my champ is harder to play than yours" argument in ranked. You are both expected to be at a fairly decent skill level on your champions when you play them in ranked, so if you lost, just accept that fact that your lane opponent was better than you. End of story

Champions who require more skill are generally more versatile. If the player can't take advantage of the versatility to beat a simpler, more straight-forward champion than they have generally either picked incorrectly in the matchup (i.e. a mobile melee into Annie) or couldn't play their champion correctly for the matchup.

Those who use this argument are generally just looking for an excuse or justification to soothe their ego when they lose though. They aren't really worth caring about; if they were, they'd either not be complaining about it or be able of coming up with a better argument.

even if you want to say someone is worse for picking an "easy" champ, that just makes you an idiot for choosing the harder one. Game starts at champ select, choosing the right champion is a part of being good at the game.
