The item builds, runes, mastery points etc. allow one player to strategically defeat 5. LoL is designed as an esport thus why the skill ceiling is so high.

You think those features are unique to LoL?
In fact, because there is a reliance on builds (like literally every other MOBA), I'd say it's less skill based (since most people just follow the most popular min/max build guides anyway) than a game like Counter-Strike, since in CS the only thing you really have is skill and team coordination. The strategy (other than map knowledge) is restricted more to timing buys.
This is kind of OT for the Overwatch thread (a game that won't come close to an Esport til they raise the tickrate).
