Balanced/Broken champion classification imo

Sir Rouge··2 votes·789 views

Here's my personal list of champions who are balanced and champions who are broken. This is not referring to UP or OP. Broken in my words means a champion with not enough counterplay, too much reward for the low risk and/or a mechanic that is unhealthy. Share your opinions :D

Balanced: Aatrox Ahri Amumu Anivia Ashe Azir Bard Blitzcrank Brand Braum Caitlyn Cassiopeia Corki Darius Diana DrMundo Draven Elise Ezreal Gangplank Garen Gnar Gragas Graves Hecarim Heimerdinger Irelia Janna JarvanIV Jax Jayce Jinx Karma Karthus Kayle Kennen Khazix KogMaw Leona Lucian Lulu Lux Malphite Malzahar Maokai MasterYi MissFortune Morgana Nami Nidalee Nocturne Nunu Olaf Orianna Pantheon Quinn Rammus RekSai Renekton Rengar Rumble Ryze Sejuani Shen Shyvana Sion Sivir Skarner Sona Soraka Syndra Taric Thresh Tristana Trundle TwistedFate Twitch Udyr Urgot Varus Vayne Veigar Velkoz Viktor Vladimir Volibear MonkeyKing Xerath XinZhao Yasuo Yorick Zac Ziggs Zilean Zyra

Broken: Akali Annie Ekko Fiora Kalista Poppy Shaco

Undecided: Alistar Chogath Evelynn Fiddlesticks Fizz Galio Kassadin Katarina Leblanc LeeSin Lissandra Mordekaiser Nasus Nautilus Riven Singed Swain Talon Teemo Tryndamere Vi Warwick Zed

Personal list of perfect examples of what a balanced champion should look like (IMO clear identities with clear weaknesses): Janna Lux Lulu Sivir Nami Velkoz Zyra Brand Sion

Annie broken, Assassin Vi is broken but tank Vi is fine. Lissandra needs buffs, Naut is broken in the support role but fine elsewere. Riven needs rework imo. Nasus is fine. Mordekaiser is fine but his late jesus fuck 1 shot tanks lol. Trynd is fine, talon is fine, swain is fine, singed is fine, eve is fine, chogath is fine, Alistair is fine, kassadin needs buffs to q imo but other than that hes fine, galio needs mega buffs, leblanc needs mega nerfs to early game, katarina can die, teemo can fucking die, lee sin is fine, fizz is fine, warwick and zed is perfectly fine. Fiddles ult buttrapes but the rest of his abilities are fine. Akali sucks btw since the nerfs, fiora sucks in tank meta, remove kalista slow and she'll be fine. Poppy rework soon and shes fine atm. Shaco is fine and has a lot of bad things going for him. Ekko is broken as fuck.

i certainly would not put Darius in the balanced champ section. norRyze (post rework his is beyond broken but thats gettign patched)

as for your "broken" list i dont really agree with any of it other than Ekko and Kalista and the fact that its missing Zed is pretty sad seeing as he i curretly the most broken champ out there (exculding ekko and ryse who are both on the cutting board for nerfs)

Remember that broken doesn't necessarily mean OP/UP. Poppys ulti/passive are pretty unhealthy for gameplay and imo can be classified as broken. Same goes for Fiora ult in some degree.
