God kalista makes me want to eat glass

RIOT has said Cho is not a tank, but is in fact a special playstyle (they likened him to a raid boss, someone who's entirely telegraphed, and that you have to keep away, but very easy to deal with if you know his mechanics/you work with your team) multiple times now.

Tanks are not fucking broken. There are tanks with 43% winrates right now, and 9 different tanks have sub 50% winrates. Almost the only tanks who are doing well right now are support tanks who are taking advantage of the bot lane dominance lately, then Rammus and Mao, and Mal are the only other ones with positive winrates.

Orn is sitting at a ranked global winrate of 49.5% for example, he's not even above 50% despite being BS to lane against as most melees.

Ahhh yeah that's it. I always hated all the classifications, as they don't make sense sometimes. Juggernaut would work for him, since most of them are lane bullies who get kited and ccd forever when they leave top lane.

was the first generation for LCS bigplay supports.

It's actually nice that he diversified the support role with champs like Thresh, but obviously that doesn't work out so well in other classes.

That Zoe star has not only the ratio, but also bonus true dmg from e sleep.

Actually, his designs are fun...for the person playing his champions.

Also, i don't know why but i never found Yasuo to be oppressing to play against. I mean sure, his E is fucking disgusting when he is fed because he'll zone you out like Pantheon but to get to that point has always been hard for him when laning vs me. He is just too predictable. He'll charge his tornado and try to hit you with it. If he's too close and misses, he's screwed.

It took thousands of nerfs to get Thresh where he is now and I'd argue he's still poorly designed but that you don't recognize it much since most of the people who play this game don't play a bot lane role and any time Thresh dominates he just enables everyone else on his team so it's not as obvious that he's overloaded since he's not the one with a huge kill streak.

I like how you disclude the aids support that is thresh. With how much CC supports have nowadays they are all game winners and make ADCs even more bs to play against (though much of the fault falls on ADCs). Ultimately I will never find thresh to be not BS.

Oh yeah he designed darius and zed too.

Anyway, kalista beats yasuo hands down (in regards to yasuo being able to beat her).

The same thing could be said about any champion that uses rylai's.

Zoe, thresh and Zyra are all Okay tbh.

That scenario you mentioned is extremely unlikely anyway, she'd need to be behind one of the three~ walls that reach 2500+ range, QRQ pick up your flash which is towards your side of the fight (and she already used ult earlier so she has to do nothing but run around in circles for 6 seconds on just make a beeline for it) then flash away, then have a mage Zhonya's right beside her or have a minion by complete chance happen to carry a zhonya's while she has her own up right now, with the assassin completely disregarding her cooldowns.

It's fun playing against Zoe compared to a lot of other champions (with low ping at least) because if she pops out of nowhere with ult you can predict where she'll go back, but she's not brain dead predictable like Xin and Nasus in terms of what she'll do when she's ulted towards a location (will she reactivate Q, E, try to bait a spell, etc?)

Thresh I find more annoying than Zyra. He always has an answer to fulfill whatever the ADC needs except sustain. He can peel, engage, aid kiting and chasing, and more, with much less effort than nami, the other generalist support, IMO (but still not as bad as yasuo and kalista). Zyra's plants do a lot of damage but the AI tends to make them aim the tank first and they're fairly easy to get rid of, other than that her plant seeds are obvious unless she Ws as she casts.

The only person who might be an issue is Kalista. The rest? People like to be the aggressor of their lane and hence play themselves into those champions strengths. I don't remember the last time I lost to a yas (unless I was playing a champ I do not normally play into him). Zyra is somewhat annoying, but is squishy as all hell (I actually had no idea he did zyra/her rework). Thresh is fine as you admit. Zoe has the potential to be strong when played right, but personally I have yet to lose a lane to her. I do not play aggressive at all into her though, so that is probably why. Play off of their mistakes against his creations and you generally come out ahead, but people do not like to play off of others mistakes, instead they want to make the flashy play themselves.

Wait thresh has been a balance horror until this day. While he is a big playmaker he also invalidateshalf the league champions roster whenever he is in the game.
