What is the weakest ability on each ability slot?

EDGE LIGHTSPEED··3 votes·964 views

Like the title says, what are the weakest abilities on each champion's ability slot? Including the passive, what are the five weakest abilities in the game? Stuff like Zed's W or Brand's E that are specifically designed to interact with other things within the kit are special cases and really shouldn't be counted. Additionally for the ultimate, things like transformation ults or special cases like Udyr and Karma don't count for the R slot. So what are weakest: Passive Q W E R In the game?

Do you know what Renekton's passive is? It's really good lol.

Also Akali's E is strong.

His current passive is that he gets more Rage under 50% HP

Limrick2 votes

His whole passive is the Fury system in general, which makes him terrifying.

Exactly! It frustrates me when people say "his fury" is his passive, and I'm like no it's not. Tryndamere and Shyvana have fury but they actually have a passive either not or is associated with it that's useful. Such as crit from fury or get extra stats from dragons.

Akali's E does good damage, is on a 3 sec cooldown, and has a reset when killing a unit so its amazing for waveclear. What limits Akali's E is her energy. The ability itself is great

Urgot Q mostly is there for comboing it with W from range and waveclear. The lock on effect actually makes it one of these special cases, which OP mentioned.

Shyvana's passive is pretty god awful.

Most champ's Q is their best basic ability, so it's hard to say, but I'd give it to either Ashe or Aatrox.

Evelynn's W is probably the worst IMO

Aatrox's E is famously awful

No ultimate is really bad, but Evelynn's is probably my pick.

I would put Tahm's ult as the worst. I just feel like all the other teleport ults are better than his and you might actually make use of it a single time in a game outside of a coordinated team with voice chat.

Oh yeah, they took away the passive from it, huh? Yeah it's pretty weak then.

Innate: Rumble - he's the only champion with an innate that makes the champion worse.

Q: Zyra, Kennen, Shyvanna, Urgot, Rakan - they all have pretty bad Qs. I'd probably go with Shyvana for the worst, as it's literally just a double auto-attack

W: Katarina - her W is just a decaying movement speed increase that lasts only 1.25 seconds and places a knife. The damage and Shunpo CD reduction are part of her innate

E: Ashe - it's just bad.

R - Caitlyn - It simply takes too long to channel and too long to travel. Honorable mentions to Sivir, Draven, and Jinx

Limrick2 votes

I don't think you know much about this game XD

Shyvana's Q is probably the strongest auto reset in the game, and applies on hits twice with a very low cooldown

Katarina's W doesn't count, as it is only a part of her larger kit, which breaks OP's rules

Ashe's E is crazy strong lol, it's a global vision tool that lingers for a while

Sivir's ult is what made her get dumpstered so hard lmao, it's absurdly powerful

Well that's your problem, lol. Any mage can do the exact same damage as him with a better passive and easier to land abilities.

Wafflessssss1 votes

Are you referring to Xerath? Because he has some very specific advantages other mages don't have, and his passive is extremely useful.

Rumble is not the only one. Kled Significantly weaker while dismounted.

And I think Rumble is far from the worst passive.

Kled Passive makes him intangible and gives compleltey free tower dives and initiations. It also has the component of giving him a massive heal and a new kiting tool when dismounted. Kled has one of the best passives in the game.

Chembaron Yamada1 votes

I never said that Kleds passive is weak, though. But he said that Rumbles is the only passive in the game making the champion worse aka weaker.

Kleds passive gives him a defined state of weakness (while dismounted), but has many upsides like you pointed out. Rumbles passive isn't just making him weak, he gets defined windows of strength and weakness. His abilitites deal additional damage in a specific area of his heat mechanic.

Just wanted to point out: A passive which gives you a weak time window is not "just making the champion worse". You have to look at the big picture.

I'm sure there's a number of champions where a lane long slowing carpet would make their kits stronger. As for on Kog itself it's a viable max choice 2nd. Actually in pro level play that's usually what they go with.

NodirjonSattarov1 votes

it's maxed last for numerous reasons: mana costs, cd, ap scaling in which kog builds little of, the duration of the slow

all those reasons make it bad to invest in until you're forced to invest in it

Sire Hippington1 votes

the slow on that kog E is massive, and in hard lanes you can max it first for waveclear(lvl7, even as ad kog the E+R is enough for the ranged minions)

How is Aurelion Sol's ultimate the worst? It's a reliable self-peel that bursts targets struck and puts them in a favorable position for him(outer ring).

Passive: Xerath Passive (it's useless since you buy mana items anyway) Q: Skarner W: Lucian / Varus (most people aren't going to go full AP since he has no mobility so proccing his purple things is useless as AD varus) E: Aatrox R: Udyr

Passive: Shyvana or Vayne passive's are probably weakest in the game because for shvannya she only gets extra 10% damage to neutral dragons or vilemaw and 5 armor/mr per dragon kill meaning if she doesn't get any dragons the passive is useless for most of the game. The reason vayne's passive is bad is due to her fact that 30 movement speed is only useful during chasing an enemy champion. Due to vayne's feast or famine kit with worst laning phase of the marksmen in the game leads to in many games it being useless in most fights if loosing the game(majority of the time). It can also lead to vayne stepping up to far in a fight causing her death. It really is a bad passive. Q: Rakan is the worst q ability in the game by far as it really doesn't do much compared to other support abilities all it gives is a crappy area of effect heal and does only medicore base damage. Not only that it is also blockable by minions and other champions, and has a delay on the spell, along with it. W: Malzahar literally everything one shots the voidlings. An area of effect hit your voidlings. O well their now dead and useless. Seriously this is probably most useless ability in the game with amount of area of effect thats in the game. That a single spell wipes out all the voidings and they give gold too. Not only that they are also delayed meaning it takes 0.35 seconds before they actually are used. Making them further limited in options. E: Sona e is easily the weakest e in the game. Literally all it gives is movement speed for 3 seconds. Not only it just gives movement speed in area of effect but that area of effect is so small that your literally within a malphite ult if you stand that close. It literally does next to nothing. That all champions can just buyitem 3069 and get the same thing but even better with higher movement speed. R: Bard ult is easily the worst ult ability in the game. As it can easily make you loose a teamfight if used improperly and which is easy to screw up. its also delayed greatly and causes a statis making worst then average hard cc against enemy champions as you can't target them and you could also end up saving an enemy champion with statis. It easily is one of worst ult abilities in the game due to the fact that a bad bard ult can easily cause the lost of a game.
