Worst Champions Discussion for Science

Saigo No Karasu·Mar 9, 2016·1 votes·785 views

I'm doing a research project on League currently. I am curious as to what everyone thinks are the worst champions in the game are at the moment. If you had to pick 3 worst champions, what would they be?

Thanks.

Shaco Most BS champion ever created. I think his stealth mechanic needs toned down. The duration is just too much, and with the new item duskblade, now he can just 1 shot a ton of champions.

Blitzcrank Another champion I just can't stand. Just a broken kit, and I'm not gonna bother explaining.

Udyr Still runs like superman on crack, still insane as if those "nerfs" did anything, and for the love of god, get him a better skin and off those stupid sandals, get him some boots.

Aatrox Galio Azir Urgot imo. the rest of the champions definitely have at least several circumstances where they are a viable pick, and no I didn't forget about Yorick

Azir isn't too bad right now, he can peel out assassins and still be a front line force while staying in the back

Galio is by no means bad atm especially with stormraiders O_o

I recommend champion.gg for all your winrate related needs. There are other league statistics sites as well.

Additionally, for any sampling of people's responses, you'll need at least 20 responses before your collection of answers has any reliability. Chi-squared test will determine the probability that a champion is actually considered bad and not just a result of a small sampling pool.

I am also sampling reddit. I only intend to do statistical analysis if I have an appropriate amount of responses. Mostly just trying to get a start point for a social experiment.

Worst by what metric? If we're gonna do science here we need working definitions. If it's simply winrate, I believe it's nunu, illaoi, and mord currently. If it's least fun to play against, then teemo, tahm kench, and singed would be my votes.

Lets also consider that sampling the forums here is not necessarily representative of the league population on the whole.

Worst by player bias. I am looking at player behavior and the vocal minority is my target audience, hence posting on the forums. It is mostly just a starting point.

Weakest

Nunu Singed Karma Urgot (the aoe fear buff might help him alot)

Meh:

Ziggs Jayce Taric Galio Aatrox Yorick

Okay I guess...:

Sejuani Azir Varus Sion

Urgot Taric Teemo IF you're looking for bias

If you're good with Azir, no matchup is really hard. I don't find zed or talon to be a difficult matchup for him. Same with Xerath. Lb is a little difficult, but overall not that bad.

Just urgot since yorick is getting his rework hype soon.

Too arbitrary of a topic. It's almost all opinion and time period based.

At one point in time Olaf/Urgot/Yorick/Galio were king OP.

I remember when Urgot was banned or picked, Yorick was the best blind pick top laner, Galio hard countered all AP mids, and Olaf could 1v5 dive the carries kill them brush his teeth check his mail pay his taxes read the harry potter series before he had to think about disengaging.

Ryze for being the overwhelmingly lowest win rate in the game and outclassed by too many other mages, and just not enough range to be good when he has no mobility.
