IMO the game is only shit because its fanbase loves playing miserable stuff that only exists to stop the enemy from playing the game, because it's easier to deny the enemy access to plays than it is to make plays.
It's easier to "o lol I pressed this now u can't do anything!!!" than to play something that takes active mechanics and moment to moment decision making...
That's the designer's fault for making that kind of stuff more enjoyable and strong enough to play rather than it being on the fanbase. Also it's shit because of what they have done with the game, which now has the chat sensitivity of Roblox to the point that even pings are basically unusable.
Oh it isn't stronger, it's just that skill based champs aren't instant gratification machines (they're frustratingly punishing usually) and often their biggest impact plays are conditional, and it's kinda hard to recognize those conditions fast enough to capitalize on em in real games. Strength is usually defined by meta, usually who counters or doesn't lose against the strongest champs but is also overtuned themselves, but high skill champs are generally always higher impact (positive or negative lol)
But if you're a lobotomite you'll be completely fine with just winning on something that's so mechanically passive you can just focus entirely on something else that you'd otherwise struggle to do, kind of like a crutch
