Make more immobile champs

BoxOfDOG·Jun 24, 2015·4 votes·691 views

Alright think about it.. Nearly all mobile champs in this game are insanely overpowered and broken, I'll give a few examples: Fine examples of champions with a lot of mobility. They destroy games if they get fed, and if they don't get fed.. Well, it depends.

But it seems to me all immobile champs that Riot makes are super fun and super balanced. I'm on the PBE a lot, and I checked out Tahm Kench. AWESOME champ! Really! And he's not broken at all. (huehuehuehue mordekaiser es numero uno) And many more are all champions who have little to no mobility at all, and manage to be extremely balanced and fun to play as/with/against.

Pls rito.. Do more of this.

I don't know if you're trolling or serious, but you honestly think Annie is balanced? Really?

That's not mobility. That's simple necessities that make their lives easier. And calling Sion's ult MOBILITY is a bit generous. Plus, Braum can only do his jump on allies.. It's not like he can ward hop Jax Katarina LeeSin or target a jump anywhere Tristana Gnar Fizz Sejuani

...What?

Alice... I think we made a mistake following that rabbit down the hole.

I don't think you've ever truly played against Master Yisus, if you don't think he's broken to some degree..

Also, notice the amount of hues.. It's pretty obvious what I was getting at.

They really aren't.

Mobility creep is more a bogyman than an actual thing that exists, and mobility in LoL is on a very steady gradient.

If you look at pro play - it's easy to find completly immobile champions like Annie , not terribly mobile champions like Orianna and Jinx , moderately mobile champions like Braum and Vayne , and extremely mobile champions like LeeSin .

Throughout LoL's history - the common factor Riot's generally struggled with in terms of balance is more champions that have an answer for every situation and more of a Trinity-Force amalgamation of stats. Kayle LeeSin Nidalee Jayce Elise Gnar Lulu - jack-of-all-trades champions. The most important thing in competitive play is quite frequently reliability over extremes - having a massive strength in one area (like being MasterYi fast), usually comes with a lot of easily exploitable weaknesses and leads to an unreliable character.

Also on mobility: Assassins are the most mobilie class in LoL. Assassins cause the most butthurt in LoL. If you look at QQ threads, assassins generally top the list. For most of LoL's history - assassins have also had the lowest win rates of any class. Due to the particular strengths mobility offers - it's just more likely to leave a sour taste in people's mouths. Objectively speaking: mobility performs the same ultimate goal as defense or range. Allowing certain champions a mechanic to survive long enough to do their job. Unlike facing a Xerath that just stays out of range or a Nasus that has enough beef to survive getting hit in the face: mobility specifically lengthens the lifespans of champions by allowing them to escape "when they totally shouldn't" or avoid getting hit by things "that totally should have hit them".

Mobility leaves more of a subjective sting where defense and range are a lot more objective in how players respond to them, so once again - Mobility = OP is more of a bogyman thing than something that's real.
