It just all gets down to proper definitions of terms like 'braindead' and 'harder'.. is sure harder to get penta with but I'm yet to hear Cowsep say "I don't play Nasus cuz his mechanics are harder to execute than Yi's".

And yet again, all those champs imo have certain technical depth (in smaller extent than others, but still):

wants to reset autos with, target ADC with , cast across team dmg output, etc.

can hide her sitting on 3 stacks, farms with ,outplays burst n trade with, tries to AoE hit enemy team with , etc.

can play around resets of his, use to reposition himself (jumping to other unit instead of the prey can be a very strong move) and play around the map control with.

has all this "Beyblade", "Airblade" n "Keyblade" stuff and far far more tricks, I personally estimate his kit to be maybe "braindead basics", yet "very sophisticated mastermoves".

can use to fully avoid and  to reduce incoming damage,  to reset AA, etc.

All in all, none of'em is truly braindead. They still appear in higher MMR, albeit not so often as trickier champs. But in my opinion, if a high MMR player was to solo play against a low MMR player with the same champ out of these, the difference'd be noticable. Then they couldn't be braindead, as that'd mean indistinguishable performance across any MMR. Or said otherwise, as for me "braindead" means zero skill scaling. And if challengers can still perform better with a champ, that's a positive skill scaling.
