*daily shitstorm thread* Just kidding. Id like to talk about easy champions. First off, the belief that a champion can replace skill with raw power alone is a load of bull. A good way to explain it is that certain champions are less mechanically demanding than others, but that does not mean that they take 0 skill. Take Akali or Ryze for example. You could argue that all Akali is, is to spam combo, ult a few times, shroud when you need to, and you win game. But what makes her balanced is her early game is absolute shit, vision wards counter her shroud, red trinket counters her shroud, and she gets shut down by CC. Ryze may be QWEWQRWQRQWEWQEWQRQEWQEQWERQ. But he has no push power without Ult, he doesnt lane very well against poke, and his auto attacks are just impossible to use. And yes, Master Yi does seem easy. But know that every champion does take a degree of skill. Its just when youre not spending time trying to pull off perfect combos, setting up ganks, utilizing cc. Youre focusing more on your weaknesses, and perfecting your mechanics. A good Akali player would be careful early game to get her ultimate. Since her skills dont require that much effort to use, she can utilize combos, meticulously plan out engages, escape by jumping to minions, etc etc. Please note that this post does not pertain to champions that are mechanically demanding, but EXTREMELY rewarding if you can pull off those skills.
