CC and Power Creep is getting ridiculous

Anisoptera·Jun 22, 2015·2 votes·576 views

Too many champions released are getting bucketloads of CC. Kits are overloaded to hell, along with ridiculous passives. Last few champions do far too much and it is killing the game , and lets not forget they are all incredibly mobile. Orb walking/kiting used to be a skill-only thing found on champs like Ashe and Vayne. Now we have an ADC who doesn't need to worry about that. This shows a loss of niche for certain champs, and I fear there will be more. We already had a time-based champion , now we got this broken mess (who, by the way, has a terrible character and lore, but thats another discussion).

TL;DR: Too much CC and power in champions, its ruining the game.

People complain about mobility, people complain about damage, people complain about cc. It's almost like you people want this to be Halo S.W.A.T where everyone gets the same abilities with no difference can take the same damage and deals the same damage. Get out with this garbage, every character is different and they are making the game more fun to play with all of these champions with crazy kits. They have the capability to make them and it makes the game fun. People like you are the reason smite and Heroes of the Storm are going to pass league soon.

Well...I wouldn't say that everyone is different. Take for example the champion Ekko, a lot of his kit is basically stuff that a lot of other champions have but his has more added on top of it.

Passive: Basically Braum Diana Skarner with an added massive slow and speed up

Q: Basically Ahri But instead of the true damage, it helps Ekko's passive proc and instead of it coming back to the person right away, it's delayed but gets another slow on top of it.

W: Kind of similar to Veigar in a way. Both of their stuns are huge and very strong aoe stuns but some what situational and harder to land then most. But Ekko gets the highest shield in the game applied to him as well.

E: His dash is some what different but he gets 2 of them...

Ultimate: Alright his ult I feel is completely different. The closest thing to compare it with might be Zed with both having strong burst on their ultimates and can easily escape right after but his ult is still a lot different then Ekko.

Though I do agree with the op. Some of these champion kits are offering way way to much in their kits and it's making it really hard to even find fun playing any of the older, simpler champions when you are always up against these champions that practically have every type of thing in the game added in their kit.
