I ' m a one trick , so champ select doesn ' t matter one bit to me . I ' m playing my boy draven no matter what or I ' m dodging . A lot of people are like this and there ' s not much reason to pay close attention . I still check my match up at the end of select , but rly I don ' t need to look the whole time . <| sep |> Then what makes something a hard counter ? <| sep |> True would love to have my old ion back <| sep |> What you ' re experiencing is a certain confirmation bias that everyone plays the game in the same way . Many people aren ' t worried about grinding out every bit of value . There are still many more that don ' t even bother with appraisals at all let alone care to learn about IVs and figure them out in a granular way . And then there are many more that want to write apps and find ways to game the game . This is appealing to many people . Aswritten , the game allows for many people to play how they want and that ' s not a bad thing .
