All champions take skill

Solo queue is home to players who like to play champions that are strong and such. Then we have the players who like to point out "that champion takes no skill" or "congrats click to kill" or "spin to win." I can tell you right now, ALL CHAMPIONS TAKE SKILL.

The next time you see someone play annie, click to stun or other bullshit, know that being able to click an ability and aim it isn't what makes it skill. What makes you a skilled player at a certain champion is your positioning and your ability to use your abilities successfully.

You see that vayne player who thinks vayne is all op and shit, well i can tell you they won't go too far with that mentality. Just because a champ is "op" and you can tumble and condemn people to a wall doesn't make you skilled. This same player gets killed first in teamfights.

SO the point is, SKILL IS IN POSITIONING and KNOWING YOUR ROLE

Thank you for your time. This goes out to all bronze players and low elo silvers

Wrong. Positioning is knowledge based while skill is based on the execution of knowledge.

The skill required to flash R with annie is substantially lower than the skill required to kite with kalista. Positioning is important for both of these plays, but one is clearly easier to execute than the other.

Depends on definition of skill, Mechanical skill, Game knowledge, or both. Most people mean they take no mechanical skill.

Another point to mention, the skill cap of Annie is small, but that doesn't stop players from feeding with her.
