If you think the Mobility creep in this game is bad, you haven't obviously played Chess.

Insane mobility, always trades at least 1 for 1.

6.0 KDA proves me right.

King definitely needs a gapcloser of some kind.

It doesn't help that his passive is a perma-slow.

The king technically has a perfect KDA, and you want to BUFF that? Wth.

It depends how good the player is. When I play King I always finish 0-1.

Clearly Riot loves the Grandmaster Big Play$ so they won't nerf the queen. Meanwhile you literally can't help but feed if you are that pawn.

its a known fact half the player base are pawns.

Hey, Pawn is OP. He is kinda high skill cap, but once you get used to him he can carry in the lategame.

Carry38 votes

lmao kda and winrate statistics != chess piece balance, its a proven fact and ur dumb if u think otherwise.

obviously the pawn is the strongest piece because it is played 10x as much as the queen. obviously players know that the pawn win games, they just don't understand HOW the pawn win games. :^)

Riot please nerf the Knight. He can Riftwalk every turn and ignores unit collision! He's basically the Kassadin of Chess

Somebody has never faced a 2-pawn end game. Those are... interesting.

Truth. I shit on pawn all game and she still one shots my king. This has been going on for 1500 years but they're the balance team's favorite so it isn't ever going to change

Pawns- Minions Expendable minions that are the forgotten heroes of the entire fight. Are usually easily killed by the other pieces, but are still needed to win 100% of the time.

Rook- Fighters Typically are easy to see what they will do next and are predictable based on who they are. However, their power still makes you have to react to avoid or kill them.

Knight- Assassin Overrated, but for a good reason. The ill prepared will be meat for the Knight with his slightly unpredictable movement and large range of movement.

Bishop- Mage Use their out of the ordinary movement to surprise the enemy with deadly tactics. Are more predictable than Assassins, but are just as hard to play around with more range.

Queen- Support The King's most powerful ally and who he can always rely on. If all else dies, chances are the Support is still there to support the King aka Marksman.

King- Marksman As long as they live, the game goes on. If the King goes in first, you will lose 99% of the time. If they wait for the enemy they will win majority of the time. Are usually the least mobile, but can move more than one direction unlike Pawns/Minions.

Actually....the queen does represent mobility creep.

This is so hilarious, let me try to explain.

Hundreds of years ago, the rules to chess were different. The queen was able to move in any direction (just like now), but she could only move a maximum of two squares. However, people decided that we needed more #Che$$BigPlays and so the queen's movement was changed to what it is today in order to make games more exciting and fast paced.

LMAO, this is literally exactly what is happening to league.

Pawn e2: k, I think I'll start off by going 2-- Pawn d2 moves 2 spaces Pawn e2: Dude, wtf! I would've allowed our Queen and Bishop to move! Pawn d2: w/e nub I read this opening on che$$fire so it's fine l2p

The Knight is a bit buggy, with that L movement - can we please fix it?

That pathing, though.

Don't forget about the black side disadvantage. White always starts the game with extra tempo and has a higher win rate.

Chess is fantastic and really balanced :D

If it wasn't for Quinn and Valor the Queen, Have all mobility she desires, i was the horse and it didn't matter what i did, she always dodge my move.

Nerf plz.

Champion Skin8 votes

Chess isn't balanced one player moves before the other... this must be fixed... I know the players take their turns at the same time to make things more fair and balanced...

Though yes... well then again symmetrical games tend to be rather balanced... because well they are symmetrical so both players have the exact same stuff to work with...

Not to mention you are 100% stuck in the meta starting positions in chess. There is no diversity.

Technically 100% winrate.

Chess is always played as a mirror lane.

Passionlip28 votes

Yes, they should try to encourage piece diversity What about an all-tower comp?

The queen basically has a 0 sec cd summoner 12 while the pawns are forced to use summoner 4 as soon as the match begins or lose it for the rest of the game...

Please Report the King for being AFK for the first 10 minutes.

Yeah, I often subtly play chess. Playing it obviously is a bit embarrassing.

S H A Y C 03 votes

The Queen can not possibly be OP. OP stands for over powered and implies that it is unfair is someone gets to wield this unfair power....In chess, everyone has a queen so the power is distributed equally...so, not possible.
