Or if it treated her passive empowered Q as an AOE on all targets so that she didn't have a 200 hp heal on 6 second cooldown that would help too.

Because she's an edge case where her primary wave clear pattern also counts as single target damage for a large chunk of the damage, giving her a vastly larger amount of sustain while clearing the wave than any other AOE wave clear.

Kled beats a lot of people in lane, his level 2-3 is really strong. Camille is more of a scaling champ who isn't that impressive until she has items and is converting trinity force procs to true damage.

It might be because I'm a skittish coward but Camille seems really strong and always will unless/until they remove her ability to cross the lane in like three seconds and then prevent your escape (read: never)

On the note of Camille's ultimate, are there any edge cases where it's possible to escape it? I'm thinking of things like using Master Yi or Urgot ultimates on someone who flashes away right before the cast completes, and other moves that sometimes lead the casting champion to go absurd distances. Does her ultimate prevent those as well, and if so what happens to the damage and effects that should have occurred, or the positions of enemies?

Yeah, Camille's numbers might be better (read: more balanced) now but she strikes me as the sort of lovely ability-creeping champion that will always feel lovely to lane against unless her raw numbers are nerfed into oblivion. I stopped banning her a little while back but it was mostly because I didn't see anybody picking her even when my team left her open. I might start up again if more pubbies bought/picked her.

This is pretty much my sentiments exactly. Her ultimate aside, her kit started pretty overloaded and even if you remove all the additional effects from it her core abilities add to mobility creep. Though maybe not as prone to rear end in a top hat players, she feels a lot like Riven and Yasuo in that regard — a potentially dangerous, mobile shithead who you'd rather not have in the game on either team.

Fizz can nope her ult dash with Playful Trickster which causes it to go on CD, but that is literally the only thing I've ever seen stop it. Essentially if you can go untargettable after she casts and before she lands it wastes it. I bet you can do something similar with Kalista's Ultimate but I haven't seen it done.

e: There is absolutely no reason for her to be untargettable during that ult cast. It's the DEFINITION of Zero Counterplay.

Riven is a good example of a champ that they did a decent job balancing to where she's not too obnoxious anymore. She probably still attracts a certain caliber of rear end in a top hat player, but I'm usually not miserable in lane against her at all, unless of course the matchmaker decides I should be against someone a few divisions more mechanically skilled than me, but c'mon, in that case I'm gonna have a bad time and the only question is how.

I dunno about Camille not being prone to rear end in a top hat players. My sample size for Camilles actually making it through into a ranked game is very small, but the only one I can remember was probably in the top two or three unsportsmanlike pieces of poo poo I've encountered this season.

And really that's the sort of stuff that should of been in since day 1 since that's how every other champion with abilities like hers works.

Imagine the nightmare of laning against Darius if his Q healed him off of just minions.

Pros saying girl bird okay, dude bird strong if he does well in lane. However dude bird is 300 range meaning you have to last hit with like 48 AD with relic, and any ranged character will brutally punish him. And his poo poo scales with levels.

In game haven't really noticed either to be all that good, they're both kind of a nuisance (bird dude is a good peeler for backline) but not overpowered by any means.

Eh, my experience has been that Xayah does "okay" but isn't quite at the level of other carries, though I suspect a Xayah one-trick might be pretty terrifying to fight against. I haven't seen it yet but supposedly the Xayah Leona combo is pretty good as Leona can pin people down long enough for Xayah to set up her E stun. So she might have a few synergies that are really good if you can exploit them.

Rakan on the other hand is really loving good at peeling and I hate fighting him. He feels like a hyper mobile ali and if he's ahead he'll make it extremely hard to get to the back line. Like gently caress, you could make the argument that he's almost at Janna level peel with the caveat that he puts himself more at risk to do his job than she does. Though in exchange, he is tankier in general and actually seems to output decent damage. Also he has escapes and is hard to pin down himself.

He's a well designed champ tho, they are getting better at giving champs specific strengths and weaknesses.

According to Riot her passive bounces actually properly count as AoE, it's just that they do so much damage that the heal is still massive.

Usually when you cast a spell it hits one target or multiple targets but in this case it does both and it's like the only AP spell in the game that does that so it's stupid broken
