So I wanted to discuss this topic for a while now as I feel like it would help at the very least let you all in on the way I think and how my brain works while playing the game
So imagine a scenario where I (Player A) lock in Galio Mid, the enemy Mid (Player B) locks in Ahri. In my mind, Galio wins vs Ahri because Galio is the definitive Anti-Mage character to the point where he has Magic Resist scaling. I go 0/x/x and end up losing the game.
Now imagine a scenario where I lock in Irelia Mid, the enemy player locks in Annie. In my mind, Irelia counters Annie because Annie has ZERO mobility and gets completely overwhelmed by high mobility characters. I end up losing that game as well despite getting an early lead.
I don't understand how I'm losing these games. am I going through the thought process of champ selection incredibly wrong? Do I have a completely incorrect interpretation of each champ and how they were designed? (Galio is an Anti-Mage who counters Mages as intended with the fact that he has Magic Resist scalings, Vex is an Anti-Mobility mage as that's how she was designed as evident with her Passive, etc.) Like I'm genuinely confused and I feel like I've been playing the game entirely long since I've started playing the game
