A Challenge for CertainlyT

LupusNox·Nov 21, 2014·6 votes·802 views

I have a challenge for you, Mr CertainlyOverloadedKitsT

Any champs that you create/design/have a hand in in the future can only have:

1 Passive that only has 1 part to it 4 Skills that have actives (aka QWER) 1 Passive that attaches onto an active skill 1 Dash/blink/Gapcloser 0 Resets CDs all longer than 5 seconds (ult CD longer than 60) Uses Mana Has actual mana costs

If you can design a champ that fits into these guidelines set in this challenge, then you will re-win my respect and probably the communities. Because the champs that you have recently designed, while fun to play as, are an absolute nightmare and an insult to the playerbase to play against. "oh look, im going to kill X!! <free shield/dash/stats/etc> damn, he got away/killed me/dunked my whole team."

You won't do it. No balls

Have you seen Invoker from DotA 2? Most Heroes in DotA 2 are like League of Legends, 4 active skills. Invoker has 14. You ever heard of microing? That doesn't really exist in League of Legends either. You ever have a League of Legends Champion with 12 illusions gank you? Didn't think so.

You're complaining about League's Champions? Go take a look at some other MOBAs. Riot is doing good work.

Don't a good chunk (like 40%) of the Dota heroes have 1 or more passive ability in their kit? Not saying that's bad just pointing it out.

Honestly I wouldn't mind crazier champs. More High Skill Ceiling Champs like Gnar, Azir and Kalista should be added to the game. I like these different and interesting play styles. It's fun.

Sure, like I said, CertainlyT is great at making champs that are fun to play as. But thats because its impossible to play against them, especially for the first 2-3 weeks that they are out and they are just beyond OP.

However, just because its fun for you ruins the game for at least 5 other players since your choice restricts like 70+% of the champion pool because they are old champs who can't keep up with the ridiculousness of the new champs damage/mobility/free stats

There are severe consequences if you leave your lane to gank someone in LoL. In dota anyone can leave their lane at any time, that's why we don't hear of op champions 100% winning their lane by default there.

I wouldn't mind if every champ was designed by CertaintlyT. Would make everything a whole lot more interesting and original.

You forgot "an absolute nightmare to play against until they're nerfed into the ground". Granted, a co-ordinated team can shut down anyone, but most players are in soloqueue, which makes that strategy pretty much useless unless they duo'd or people get lucky and work well together out of the blue.

If everything is OP nothong is OP:

how weird is it that he made zyra? like in the middle of all these insane champs that break the game over their knee it's just a typical mage with some neat little mini turrets that was only a little OP because her damage on release was out of whack.

He made her with Skribbles and several other designers, so it makes a lot of sense that she wasn't absolutely ridiculous.
