Boards has no credibility anymore

To be honest I'm kind of sick of the bullshit from the boards right now.

Yeah the balance is pretty garbage, xin, udyr and kog are busted, zed is hell to play against, especially with that new item. I agree with all these sentiments, but the boards has gone as far to call pretty much every champion that annoys or beats them, op and freelo and no-skill. Now, this is annoying to me. Calling a champion no-skill is something I detest reading on the boards, as it is the kind of stuff you'd expect a bronze 5 kid you just destroyed to call your champion, not people on a forum where riot looks for balance input.

I've especially been seeing this on the millions of threads about zed, which surprises me, because outside of the boards qq it's pretty much common knowledge zed has a high skill ceiling. The thing is, zed might have a toxic kit as he is considered a 'safe assassin', he might even be overtuned, but there are no champions in the whole game that don't require skill. Even if he has a low skill floor, which he does, if you are losing to a zed playing badly, then it's on you. So many people here justify losing to zed by calling him unfair, but if you are a silver mage losing to a silver trash zed, it's not because he's no-skill freelo, it's probably because the same bad mechanics, bad decisions, etc. that are keeping you stuck in silver are making you lose to bad zeds. It's not like you have to be playing extremely well to beat a bad zed, and the people who say this are the ones not making the effort to learn the matchup.

I think the golden rule here is to always play champions before you qq about them. I know most people reading this would assume I'm a zed main or something, but I haven't played zed regularly since season 4, yet I played him enough to know that he is difficult and that I suck with him. I'm not trying to defend zed in this post, I'm trying to defend logic, which most of the boards seems devoid of.
