This guy has made the biggest faults in gameplay designes and look at the track record on which champions he has made, all of the champion he has made have made the game more unplayable.

Each of this champs have in some point had so many overloaded mechanics making those champions gameplay unhealthy, no counter play at all.

The person who made Sett kit is a god compare to this mess Bradford have introduced into the game.

I think the Warwick rework was actually a success. Which has also been the one design he made he got restricted heavily. He got told what he should accomplish, that he should stay true to the original Warwick and just modernise him to some extend. He was not allowed to go completely wild like with other designs.

CertainlyT needs these borders. If he is given free reign, then his designs turn out fun for the user.... but absolutely obnoxious for everyone who has to play against them. He has a track record showing that he really just cares about what is fun for the player of the champion he created, not really considering what seems fair for the enemy. He warps game interactions in favor of his champion, which then results in the enemy feeling treated unfairly since that interaction should resolve differently.

CertainlyT shouldn't create champions on his own. He needs clear borders he is allowed to operate in.

Yet you guys neglect to hate on the designers who bought us Senna Yuumi Pyke

3 champions who are also huge mistakes.

What is wrong with you people? Stop flaming and harassing one man just because you think poorly of him. CT was one of the better designers whose champions are still very fun to play and who are mostly kept strong by the balance team because theyre flashy and entertaining.

Go post this garbage on the EU boards, if you really want an audience for your vitriol.

People also fail to bring up the fact that over half his champions had to have their kit gutted or have been flat out reworked, or both. There is also a reason almost every champion he has made or reworked has a history of incredibly high ban rates.

Yes riot, get rid of the best designer you have on your team! Remove the guy who makes the most popular and most fun champions that the majority of your playerbase loves!

Only unhealthy champs were Yas, Akali, Aphelios and Zoe.

Rest are decent or really nice champs.

And the reason why we hate Yas, Akali etc. is because of the typical Assassin gameplay most Assassin's have. I mean Zed isn't any better tbh.

Aphelios is a true pain 8n the ass though.

So he had only a small hand in Zyra. He was not the lead for her.

When he is not the lead the champ is "Ok"
