'solo queue players would rather bitch about how unbalanced a champion is rather than learn to deal with them' falls firmly under 'not riot's problem'.

kat has clearly defined weaknesses that pro players exploit to make her trash in pro play. Solo queue players could learn how to do those things and have the same result, but they would rather blame kat being unbalanced and their team being bad than do it. 'my team ignores pings' is not a reason to not learn how to ward properly vs her or lane properly vs her.

actually yes though.

kat isn't a good champion. She's just good when people play bad. She gets smashed in lane by nearly every mid laner (if you have either a dash or a quick form of interruption and are ranged, you probably beat kat in lane), can't roam bot effectively when people ward, and as a result is rarely relevant in teamfights. Sometimes shit does happen and she gets kills and snowballs, but it shouldn't be happening frequently except for the fact that solo queue players are lazy and don't ward properly and won't learn how to deal with her.

There's a reason why even diana sees niche pro play despite (if you judge purely by solo queue stats) being worse than kat: she has less abusable weaknesses than kat, but even then she's still pretty bad and frequently gets exposed when played in pro play for similar reason to kat.

it's not daddy riot's job to hold people's hand and nerf champions because the player base doesn't want to learn how to deal with th...

Imagine roaming when you could cause chaos in your lane by freezing and then denying CS.

Come on, FPX is almost completely a product of teamwork. Their individual skills are not exactly the best in the world. Arguably not even close.

But teamwork > skill has rang true for years now. Like sure, you want your players to have a certain level of skill if you want to challenge the top positions, but ultimately the team needs to work as a unit. If they don't, no amount of individual skill will make up the difference in modern LoL.

Only the jungler is the best in the world and even that is debatable. If you put all of those 5 players on seperat teams, most of them will look good but not worldclass.

FPX would disagree with that.

Well, I can't say that I vote along those same lines but I appreciate the explanation. Thanks for responding!

Any particular reasoning for Froggen and aphromoo for 2nd team? You're literally the only person who voted for them anywhere.

I think that something like 6 of my promos were afk. Like actually afk and not me being salty cuz they went 0/1. Actual afks the entire game. And they get no repercussions.

Yeah the "new champ winrate goes up with time" argument doesn't hold water here because there was literally 1 new thing to learn (his E). The rest is old Fiddlesticks+ ghost poro. The playerbase isn't going to slowly bring his wr% up, if anything it goes down as effigy's become easier to spot.

new champion

but this ISNT a new champion... this is the smallest VGU we've gotten yet. Honestly I'd argue the wukong rework was more of a new champion than the fiddles rework is.

His W is the samething but AoE... His ult? same thing... his Q? Same thing but tuned differently (and with a spooky passive)... E? Okay, that's new but it's still got an AoE silence just now its a skillshot rather than a point and click bounce... and his passive? Completely different BUT! super low portion of his powerbudget eitherway.
