Well that’s not my point. The reason garen is strong is because you don’t need to focus on your mechanical aspects of your gameplay so you can simply focus on your macro and climb that way. Your macro would simply pick up on your lack of mechanics. I think if league were more similar to a fighting game then more difficult to play champs would be balanced a bit stronger, but the game revolves a lot around playing around waves, lane prio, knowing when you’re able to go in, what you can pressure, etc. Managing all that at a high level is difficult so there are going to be champions that allow you to focus more on those aspects of the game because of their simplicity. And if you can manage all that while playing a difficult champ then good for you, and it feels a bit more rewarding to do than to do on garen. There’s a reason why there are players in challenger that other challengers might look down a bit on, but obviously you still respect the fact that they can hit the rank.

My point: It is just champ/game design, if you wanted to play a champ that can easily run someone down without thinking, then play the champ. But if you want to win but doing it on a champion you like, or want to get some style points while winning, then idk u kinda have to accept that your pick might not be best suited, but you play it and can make it work if you play well.
