edit: keven how do you feel about the fact that people who get mad at me usually feel the need to also bring you up out of nowhere

I think it's because we're both jerks and dont have the exact same opinions so we must want to fight.

Were you playing for release Zyra? I remember them hot fixing her and then saying essentially "if you didn't think she was OP it's because you were bad at playing her".

My favorite op on release champion was draven , who would roll into lane, hit you with a whirling blade auto for 100, then laugh as you bled for another 100

He was like that for a year. I'm not exaggerating, an entire year with no nerfs until they changed the passive.

i've only been playing since the start of season 4 but the highest champ winrate i've seen by far was the Skarner 'juggernaut' rework at around 65%. The next highest ones were all at 60 or under.

yeah the juggernaut rework fiora was loving stupid. darius kind of was too in so much as he actually saw pro play. that was also when mordekaiser could three shot every adc from levels 1 to infinity.

because assassins are harder to play and have their win rate dragged down more the fizz and leblanc parts of the assassin rework may have actually been worse, tho.

I'm talking way back at release where you could charge 4 Q stacks on golem starting at 1:40 then go to top lane and auto-Q-empowered Q-Ignite for about 500 damage & if you hit q on a new target right as you finished a bush leap you'd jump again even without brush so with 4 stacks you could auto out of bush then hop halfway down a lane to get a guy like a big furry yasuo e (funny how this insanely broken bug is now a regular skill for a certainlyT champ :thinking:) & of course the W used to make you immortal.

I mean I guess if you jumped out from literally nowhere screaming COMEONNN that could maybe scare someone to death?

That was a time when Riot threw in 1:1 AP ratios on an arbitrary ability on an AD champ and idiots would rush AP because ???

I'm pretty sure half of the original cast that weren't balanced around building AP to begin with were pretty stupid if you built AP on them because they gave every bruiser a 1 AP ratio on every skill and actually took time to balance the casters with 0.8 ratios and the like.

We've had AP trist, sion, gragas, warwick, shaco, trynd and a few more.

Gragas early recommended items included bloodthirster and infinity edge.

For the last 3 years I don't know how they've retained anyone because every new player I've talked to gets frustrated and quits before level 10 because everyone's a Bronze/Silver smurf leveling up and poo poo-talking them for not knowing how to reach an outstanding 4 CS/minute like they do

I drat near quit playing multiple times while leveling up because of high ranked players on smurf accounts just being dreadful to everybody. It was disturbingly common to see people admitting they had like 12 accounts that they rotated through as they got banned and rebanned. You'd see them say things like "when you get to ranked don't report because this is what happens. I just make new accounts as I need to and play whichever one isn't banned. This isn't fun, is it?" I guarantee that every game that happened had at least one newbie drop the game forever.

The League community is still tremendously toxic and I find myself playing less and less because of it.

How has the "Remember this OP champ" gone on for 2 pages without someone mentioned 4.20 Warwick. I watched a three-item Warwick jump into 4 people solo and just AA heal through their combined damage.

Lulu seems like a pretty decent supp right now, surprised I don't see her often. Her kit has some good answers to a lot of the current meta and she's not bad in lane. Even if I just spend all game bouncing lee everytime he goes for the adc it feels pretty useful and I'm consistently getting S ranks on her.

Luckily Riot hosed up Talon's rework and Yi is in no danger of becoming broken unless they introduce another Feral Flare and fix his Alpha Strike bugs

I think maybe her ult not synergizing with ws/the new items is a bit of a drawback but so far I've just been going eye > t2 boots > athenes and it feels like it has good lane pressure, can survive the 4v2 dive pretty well, and then you just spend rest of the game spamming lances, boosts, and shields that heal.
