“Complicated”/mechanical (Ksante, Zeri), simple (Vex, Briar, Naafiri), or gimmick champ (Viego) it seems like a large section of the community hates new champions just for being new. They’ll be perma banned on release regardless of strength, and people usually say something along the lines of don’t want to deal with new champions. So as someone who thinks new stuff is cool what’s the mentality of new champion haters? Mostly because it has little to nothing to do with whatever the champ is strong or not, most release with giga terrible WR and may even get hot fix buffed because they’re that bad. There’s just a section of the community who doesn’t want anything new?
I think the people who hate a champ are way more vocal than those who think it’s meh or actually like it. Plus a lot of people will see hate on a champ and read a couple comments and get convinced, adding to the hate.
