As someone who's been maining the champion for a while. I don't see him too often in my game, but he's been a pretty contested pick at Worlds this year. What's the general consensus on the champion from a balance standpoint?
WalkingInACircle2 votesBroken and always has been. That engage is too strong and reliable, you need QSS AND flash to get out.
Also he has the highest base ad in the game for no reason.
NachoDimension1 votesWhile I will agree that the knock up radius is a bit high, I'd say that if it was reduced a bit more, the zone is telegraphed enough where it could be balanced. He definitely is a very strong pick however, and I agree on that. Perhaps my bias is showing.
Is it really? Huh, TIL.
MagicFlyingLlama1 votesSoraka was the previous record holder.
There is a reason, it gives supports some frontloaded slappage.
Lunar Strain1 votesHe's fun. r-w combo is a bit frustrating to deal with

If you're looking for counters to the guy, Morgana generally destroys him in lane. Tahm keeps things safe in lane too! But yeah, the guaranteed knockup makes it a bit difficult. I do however, am of the mind that it's usually bad to R-W if you can otherwise hit the W, because then you can stack your CC. The R-W combo wastes the charm on forcing the knockup.
Lunar Strain1 votesYeah I know the lane counters. Just saying it as a camille/ekko player lol thanks anyway

Thanks for your comment and insight!
theChibiTina1 votesHe can be strong. He does require some amount of skill to play though and you have to have a team that will follow up. That's why he's strong in pro-play, pretty decent in high elo, and not that good in low elo. Plus he's countered fairly well by hard CC. He is supposed to be hard engage and then get out because he's kinda squishy. If he gets CCed, he will usually die or come close to death. I say he's not very good in low elo because you can't always expect your team to follow up. That and half the time they let you die by running away so you can't dash to them to get out of danger.
