at least as bad as laning against yasuo

i'm tired of those "impossible to trade against" champions She gets a 20% hp shield on basic attack, has an AA reset that gives bonus MS and can deal true damage later her W heals+slow+deals a decent amount of damage for a spell at rank 1

and of course what's the best out of this?

SHE HAS NO FUCKING MANA COST i swear to god lane against camille and look if her mana bar is moving.

her w even when fed doesn't do a lot of damage at all her shield gives her either a magic resist shield or an armor shield based on you, try doing mixed damage if you are butthurt about the shield the mana cost I agree should go up her q is alright, i meant it's not that great play someone who counters her? just like every other champ people complain about there is always someone who can kick her ass Jax right now is prime against her, tanky, does mixed damage, the blocks and stuns, all around counters her.

D357R0Y3R5 votes

yeah that's why camille is a garbage design, she forces hard counters, just like yasuo

you need to do mixed damage (even then the shield choose the highest type of damage you can do and jax does more physical damage) you need to have a knock back for her ulti

if you don't have mixed damage say goodbye at trading against camille her W damage is 60+6% max hp in laning phase, that's A LOT for something at lvl 1

iBubbles2 votes

Okay, I have no clue what you are talking about with that knock back shit. And lol, you do realize almost every champ in the game has a direct counter, right? And no not really, it's just mixed damage will help. and her w has a max amount of damage it can do, and really doesn't do a lot of damage at all. and honestly her shield is so small that it's just inconvenient if anything. Sounds like you just need to learn how to dodge her attacks and play aggressively against her.

Every champions don't fuck you directly if you aren't a direct counter in league history if your champion had a counter that didn't mean your champion was balanced

and you need a knock back else you will die to the enemy jungle

HER SHIELD IS SO SMALL? OMFG 700 hp---> 140 hp shield what the fuck is this shit that lasts for 3 seconds, meanwhile yasuo shield is 100 in early game and lasts 1.5 seconds

iBubbles2 votes

lmfao, early game her shield is DEFINITELY NOT 700 hp, im like laughing and confused so much by this. also, i'm not saying she is balanced, i'm just saying you can play against her and win and i told you how (: also also, if you die to enemy jungle because of her ult, that just sounds like a successful gank that you weren't prepared for. it's not that it's op or anything... it's her ult. like... it's an ult... what do you want? also was thinking of another few champs that would be great against her top, teemo and vayne. i have now given you 3 champs that have a good chance at countering her

Sona x Rubick2 votes

if she has 700 hp she will have a 140 hp shield, that's basic maths since her shield is 20% of her hp

iBubbles2 votes

okay, 140 isn't bad?

iBubbles2 votes

and im pretty sure she doesn't start with 700 hp, but either way that shield is gonna get nerfed. but realistically you can work around it.

You're really not thinking about her kit properly at all if you think it's comparable to Yasuo in terms of how much it forces counterpicks. Have you just came out of a bad game against her or something? Because you're taking any hyperbolic way to attack her kit and using it, which makes the thread read as salt.

Yasuo's nature as a champion that hard counters and gets hard countered comes from his kit's extreme focus on dodging damage. He has an ability which makes him immune to projectiles, an ability that allows him to dodge skillshots with basically zero cooldown, and an ability that makes it so that if you can only damage him very occasionally (possibly because he's dodging all of your spells!), you do no damage to him. It is these abilities that make him exceptionally strong against certain champions (projectile and skillshot-reliant mages), while being essentially useless against champions who do not care for his defensive tools (point click bruisers, for example).

But where does the binary nature present in Yasuo come into Camille? She does not force mixed damage dealers at all - they are optimal against her shield, but her shield is not such a hard counter to physical and magic damage dealers that they are completely incapable of touching her, as is the case for projectile mages while Windwall is on the field. You do not need to be able to knock her out of her ult either - yeah, instantly ending her ult is ideal, but it's not at all necessary. CC-locking her while she's in it, simply winning the 1v1, stalling using your own defensive abilities (did you know that between Cocoon and Rappel, Elise can stall Camille's ult for 3.6-4 of its 4 seconds?) and letting your allies help you out are all valid strategies. You do NOT automatically lose to her if you cannot knock her out of her ult, nor do you automatically beat her if you can do that. Not at all similar to Yasuo.


Let's look at her abilities:

P: Easier to deal with for people who deal mixed damage, but they are not 100% unaffected by it at all. Pure physical or magic damage champions can counterplay it as they would counterplay any shield, as well as being capable of simply damaging her before she gets to activate it, seeing as it requires landing an auto attack.

Q: No more binary in terms of how effective it is versus certain champions than any fighter tool. DPS + sticking power is standard. Hurts tanks more, but not to any major degree.

W: Better against immobile champions, but most dodgeable abilities + slows are.

E: Better against immobile champions for similar reasons to W. Better against skillshot reliant champions to an extent but is honestly a poor ability for dodging skillshots and obviously has an appreciable cooldown, unlike Yasuo.

R: Makes absolutely sure to be similarly effective against as many champions as possible. Easier for champions with knockbacks to outplay, but tons of other options.

tl;dr your arguments are bad and you should feel bad. Camille is not at all a binary champion in nature and is incomparable to Yasuo in terms of how she interacts with different types of champions. If you can give an example of a type of champion who has basically zero agency against Camille (that isn't similarly lacking in agency against every fighter) and a type of champion that automatically beats her, then I'll reconsider, but for now you're just a person whining about losing to a champion.

capslock doesn'T make it stronger than it actually is. Her W deals around 90-100 dmg on level against common toplaners around level 3. That's about the same as any other ability in the game.

ACENOX1 votes

camille W deals 60+something like 10 due to her AD ratio+6% of your max hp, that's 60 damage if you have 1000 hp as a bruiser in top lane

tell me again if you find a spell doing 130 damage at rank 1

jax doesn't do mixed damage in laning phase

iBubbles2 votes

wut lmfao, he doesn't just randomly become mixed damage later xD it's up to how you build him, but either way yes he is mixed damage lmfao

Ahristocats3 votes

jax does 90% physical damage in lane you mongoloid his W is the only source of magic damage and his R is at lvl 6 after 2 attacks

YumaS2Astral1 votes

Although it is true that Jax's damage is mostly physical during the lane phase, there is no need to insult the guy

Ralanr6 votes

Jax is kinda weak in the laning phase already.

RavenMagus1 votes

try doing mixed damage if you are butthurt about the shield

So that you can guarantee that her shield will always be effective against you all game long no matter who she hits, right?

Im looking at your match history. but i cant find a single game you fought her with. WHo did you play against her as..

Malphite has a shield that basically is same as hers except it's for all damage. So we can dismiss that. Singed is run around all day and literally if she is CATCHING you that's your OWN fault here. I mean I wouldn't mind playing one of those two champs of yours and you play cam lol...I promise you that you wouldn't get the best of me lol.

Mana Costs Q: 25 mana W: 50/55/60/65/70 mana E: 50 mana R: 100 mana

She does have mana costs.

D357R0Y3R6 votes

{quoted} 25 mana on Q that she spams like hell 50 on W 50 on E but she doesn't use E a lot in lane

remember when darius Q mana cost was nerfed because his mana wasn't moving at all?

DoktorKaiser2 votes

I love how champions lately, especially non mages, have either no mana or pathetically low mana costs. Meanwhile my Galio goes OOM after 3 q...

MissingKayo1 votes

Gee maybe it's because the latter builds mana and rely on abilities while champions like these rely on actually autoattacking?

djhotbox1 votes

Not sure where you're getting no mana cost from, but she is a mana champ, unlike Yas.

D357R0Y3R7 votes

that's because you didn't lane against her

25 mana on Q that she spams like hell 50 on W 50 on E but she doesn't use E a lot in lane

GayFluffyUnicorn1 votes

Her entire dmg is loaded onto her Q which she is supposed to spam. Yorick has similiar mana costs and his Q is also an AA reset. Why don't u complain about him? Or GP for that matter? Just be honest you are trash, got rekt and now complain how OP she is to farm easy upvotes.

you're not talking riven yes?

riven is also bullshit, i think riot has no idea how to balance the laning phase of shield champions

Surfer Ashe1 votes

Camille's all in is pretty oppressive (between the stun, the attack speed steriod and everything about her ultimate), but besides that, she can be outplayed.

Her 2nd Q has only a 1.5second window and you can avoid getting slowed from her W pretty easily. The speedboost on her Q isn't enough to guarantee to stick long enough for the 2nd part of her Q pre-phage.

I believe she was made for only 1 purpose only.

To see if Riot can do the Yasuo/Darius level of bullshit without playerbase backlash.

Just play against her as poppy or tamh. They are rarely banned so they should always be available. Naut might work too, as well as... Illoai.... Man I hate illaoi.

As a devout Yasuo hater, no, no she is not.
