Dat R press :( (a.k.a warwick / malz balance)

So One of the most bothersome things to me when I play league is when Im playing a high skill champion like draven, and Im playing well, and then WarWick or malzahar comes along Press R and then I die. Literally nothing I can do about it. During team fights its really powerful when I as the adc can get shut out of a fight just because someone pressed R on me... I feel if the opponent can out play me, like thresh hooks and flays, or skill shots that are durable then its fine. But when someone just has to press R and get a almost guaranteed kill without any counter I think its sorta unbalanced.

In Conclusion I think champions with non skill shot suppressions should be changed for better game balance, especially at lower elo's. Not really sure how they should be changed.

Draven: Can interrupt both ults with stand aside, though the timing on ww is harder QSS/merc sscim

Don't wander through unwarded shit alone play a team with any kind of cc

Malz ults you

Any member of your team headbutts their keyboard and CCs Malz out of his ult

Malz dies

And no you dont get to 1v1 Malz as an ADC, that's not how it works

WW is slated for a rework and the concepts they've put out have him losing his suppression. Pretty sure Malzahar will also have his removed at some point, it's just super-binary and either feels useless or OP depending on how fed you are. Plus the whole "your ult gets countered by one item" issue.

For the low-low price of 1550 gold, you too can negate a Warwick or Malzahar Ultimate. That's just 1 easy payment of 1550 gold, and that WW can no longer nom your face! Act now, and you can upgrade it into a Mercurial Saber, an offensive item with the same epic active! Order Now!

If malz and ww live after ulting then your team is just bad. They literally cant move when they ult leaving them vulnerable to cc, burst, anal, etc.. Its funny to see the highest win rate on champs with cc when in reality your team can burst them down before their ult is even finished.

...? Wouldn't a banshee veil easily solve this problem? Also, you can like, not walk into malz's ult range and wait till your frontlines dive in&force them to use their skills before you move in. As for ww diving after you, well, he's the tank so can't help it - though his suppression doesn't hurt early on, as long as you're positioned away from the rest of ww's team you won't be bursted down by ww alone; if it's end game ww then sure that ult will hurt, but ww is a late game champ and you needed to make sure the game ends before then or that's bound to happen =/.

Others recommended QSS, but there were plenty of malz players out there complaining that QSS is way too op and shouldn't get rid of suppression, because it not only gets you out of cc, it also stops any damage from malz ult and that is huge. Having QSS against malz feels like cheating since it completely negates the dmg from his strongest skill, and I'll feel bad for your opponents so I wouldn't recommend getting it ;_; .

Yeah, it's pretty dumb that some champions have to actually work for their CC (Cass' easy to look away from ult for example) meanwhile some slack jawed moron can just press R on a targeted ability and CC you with no counterplay. Or Annie and her bigger than Texas ult that immediately comes out and stuns everybody.
