A trend in the strong champions

Every single one is toxic. Each one has very little counter play and usually relies on counter picking.

Lucian - very easy to land poke with really no counter play other than stopping his ult or zoning him all game Tristana - her E and range gives her a pretty big advantage and she has multiple escapes Lux - her Q and E are both extremely long range and have cc to set up for a high damage long range ult Lee Sin- his Q is very easy spammable high damage and his ult scales extremely well Talon - has little counter play other than staying away from him Caitlyn - Her Q and passive allow her to farm relatively safe and put out a ton of poke while her ult gives her executes. Zilean - Q is "his only damage source" so it does a lot of damage (double bombs ffs, 2 of 400 damage is 800 thats a lot of burst damage when he can just run away and come back and do it again due to not enough mana costs) and an ult that says don't focus ___. Maokai - saplings slow and do a lot of damage from long range for someone who is meant to tank and make his team tankier Jayce is a new emergence in mid lane - he chunks most mid laners with his Q for 400s by level 6 with a brutalizer and 1 ability combined with a disengage/engage. Alistar - ult reduces all damage by 70% at all ranks (why it gives AD with that I have 0 clue). There is 0 counter play to that other than true damage and the majority of top laners don't have it and 2 of the adcs that have it are minor amounts. In fact not many champs have true damage (vayne is a common ban lately) Fiora - the buffs to her ult have dropped her counter play a lot (referring to it no longer dropping if you break her vision or were not visible to begin with). Now you have to rely on being innately strong and building armor (not many top laners can do that and still out trade her) Yi - kind of a hot iron topic. He has a really strong late game in exchange for an average early game (feels like Jax pre-nerfs to me).

I am in no way saying they are OP, but they generally can't be itemized against when their strength is present.

I could go into detail about them and many more champs but unless we want to delve into Dota 2 balance of putting strong against strong for balancing and relying on counter picking almost alone we can, but Riot doesn't seem to want that path and that isn't what makes League fun.

I am just voicing my opinion about the balancing feel free to disagree with me. I honestly just want the game to be fun rather than "Fuck Lux landed her Q now I am dead" or "Fiora is fed GG".

Fiora is just OP mid and late game. Yi is just retarded OP because he can just Q and erase someone. Let's not mention he becomes invulnerable to everyone right off the start.

And the halrious thing about Yi, is his kit. His Q isn't even a skill shot, it's a cone which means if you have anyone in that cones their dead. Then his W where he can just stop in the middle of a fight and heal up, then demolish you completely. Then he has ultra long super speed.

My only wishes for this game are,

  1. Katarina gets nerfed into the ground. 6 feet below is preferred.

  2. Yi get a new kit. The one he currently has is just a point, click, WIN!

  3. Yasuo gets a buff.

Not many people have Fiora, so she doesn't bother me that much, even though she is unstoppable mid and late game.

Yi news a rework. His last one wasn't really a rework. Kata has one of the highest counter play kits in the game.

Yi and Fiora are really hard for me to say what to do to. Because unless your communication and team is really good it is near impossible to stop them once they start rolling. Champs that dominate anybody due to lack of communication in a game with teams should not be a thing. Yi and Fiora do bad in 5s because the team can decide how to handle them. In solo queue its near impossible to handle them properly because not everyone thinks for the team and they require extreme coordination.

Yi and Fiora are both extremist champs. With coordination you can shut them down hard but if there is even a small gap they will wreck your team. Champs that are feast or famine should not exist. Vayne at least has an early game window. Yi and Fiora can just split push if they can't team fight and force 4v3s as it takes 2 to kill them unless the enemy team has a Jax.

This is probably why Riot is looking to nerf split pushing. So 1 person can't be such a strong duelist that it requires 2 people to kill them to force a 1 sided team fight which then snowballs the victory.
