Immunities shouldn't exist.

What do you do when someone is fed? You focus them, right? Well wait, that champion can become untargetableFiora , invulnerableKayle , or immune to ccOlaf . How are you supposed to fight them and still pay heed to the fact they have four allies? Simply thing is: unless they let themselves get caught alone a lot, you can't. These things should not exist in a game based around teamwork. Sure, you can all land your skillshots and CC, but that doesn't mean a thing if the champ can walk through it unscathed.

Simple solution: replace every such ability with a stronger form of a similar, weaker mechanic. Maybe instead of complete cc immunity, 75% tenacity. Maybe instead of being completely untargetable or invulnerable, give the champion 80% reduced damage. It's not exactly fair to let a "fighter"Tryndamere build like an ADC simply because there's no move that can kill him while he has his ultimate, or let a champion become untargetable especially when there are some that have only one burst and can't do anything to counter it. (you may say "yeah, just wait until after they Zhonya/Trickster/Ult/Q"item 3157 Fizz Zed MasterYi but that doesn't work because anyone playing those champs just waits until you use your move to use their untargetable.) In a game that relies heavily on focused attacking, it is not fair to allow some champions to simply take the focus off themselves with such abilities.

Another point to make is the ability of some champs to deal tons of damage to multiple enemies without any downside simply because they bought a single item.Fiddlesticks Kennen Morgana

Not to mention the fact that there is no AD version of Zhonya's, so a vast number of champions are stuck with either trying to get away, outdamage a burst, or hope the enemy targets someone else so they can go in before the cooldowns reset.

Just as well, true damage shouldn't be a thing either. HP% damage is enough against tanks. Why is it, then, that champions have true damage that they can use to obliterate squishier ones? Main focus here being large amounts like Chogath RekSai andDarius . Oh, you built armor/MR to fight me? Cute. I have a 400-900 damage ability with a low cooldown that doesn't care.

Don't even get me started on the fact that the guys over at Riot either haven't learned a thing about balance in the last five years or intentionally leave some old champions broken just to fight the new broken ones they pump out and then either wait a while to nerf, don't nerf enough, or simply ignore. cough coughMasterYi Katarina AkaliJax RekSai Azir YasuoYasuo Yasuo Gnar Vi

First of all, if there was an AD version of Zhonya it would be absurdly overpowered. Second of all, immunity abilities can be absolutely fine depending on the champion's kit. Third of all, if true damage bothers you, build health.

Not really, considering they don't have to make it cut-and-dry a copy of Zhonya's. Higher CD, no defenses, lower campared AD. Not one of the champions with such immunities are balanced, save Olaf. And third: True damage can easily be replaced with AD or Magic damage. Bet you're one of the Darius users who isn't quite good enough to fight a tank as anyone without the true damage. Building health doesn't stop the damage, and as an ADC it's a big risk to build mallet for its 500 hp instead of something else, and as Ashe it loses most of its gold efficiency.

Stop complaining about Yasuo, he's now balanced or underpowered at all levels of play.

Oh I know, it's just they took a while and even when they did their first nerf it did almost nothing.

Dont feed?That's all i've got.

These are the ones can can be behind and still catch back up, regardless of how unskilled the player is. "Hurdur don't feed." I vet you'll also suggest simply killing Tryndamere.

If they were behind and do catch up, that seems to be a problem with your team. If my top opponent disconnects at the beginning of the game and joins 10 minutes into the game, i'm going to shut him down and make sure he doesn't catch up, especially if he has the potential to carry late game.

I said nothing about disconnecting. This is about a champion being 2-8 and even with the focus on him, still being able to become unstoppable.
