Nemisis Draft really shows who understand the game...

It's just like last time we had this mode. People think support champs are weak. Like seriously, stop giving Janna, Nami, Bard, Leona etc. They aren't weak. Just because Janna doesn't do as much damage as Lucian doesn't mean she is a worse champion.

Peel, sustain, disengage, engage... These are important factors that make a champion strong. Numbers aren't everything.

..and what is worse, then?

Janna, Nami, Bard should always be given IMHO. NOT because they're bad champs - but because they're all utility based champs which by default makes it harder to carry the team. There literally are no bad champs in this game, and even the worst winrate champs (Nunu, Kalista, Azir, Tahm and Nidalee right now) are extremely threatening in the hands of a skilled player. Give, for example, those 5 to a skilled team and you'd see how much of a horror they can be.

Nemesis draft is, just like any other game mode, a comparison of skill of the players. A good Janna will smash Azir, but the same applies to a good Azir - the only difference is that Janna will have more trouble applying her advantage to win. So, it makes a lot of sense to stuff utility champs to the enemy team in order to make it harder for them to carry.

Feel free to post your list of champs for Nemesis if you disagree and you think that there are champs so bad that even in good hands they're worse than utility ones.

They aren't weak.

they actualy are

support actualy translates into "a weaker champion who doesnt need gold to do his stuff"

there is nothing more distinctive to a support champion this is also why mages like annie and morgana tend to push supports out if unchecked ... because they also do good with less gold ... but they are not weaker champions (disagree ... couple seasons ago we didnt see anything else bot ... guess why ?)

the only reason why those champions are picked whatsoever is because someone is not getting gold in the game

and its not about damage ... most of this glorious utility those champions have ... is outdone by utility of some damage dealing champions (windwall ahahahahahha)

besides that taric is too fab to not pick him anywhere and braum is the only real tank in this game (yes ... design wise braum is the only tank champion in this game ... the rest are just durable fighters ... noone shall oppose the stache)

I give Skarner. I have yet to see any teams use it right, and only once did the Skarner actually try to jungle. My lobbies always seem to flame me for giving Skar, saying he's OP.

But it doesn't matter how good he is, the player has to know AND THEIR TEAM has to know how to work with him.

I just wish my allies would stop giving them hordes of tanks. That isn't a good way to win or have fun lol

When given the choice of a tank, mages, marksmen, assassins... ect... It's just best to give them as little dmg and tank as possible. So Nami Janna make the list.

You could try to give them hard to play stuffs but that's just a gamble.

As said there really aren't that many bad champs in the game. Especially in this mode.
