It would be so easy to give 2009 champs counterplay in their Kit

For example annie throwing tibbers to the impact location giving time to react

or make nunu E a skillshot

Fiddle Q fears going out in a line and fearing all enemies in that line when they get hit

The 2009 Champions have one of the most toxic things in their kit like extremely impactful point and click spells. Annie and Nunu are good examples for that.

I'll give you Annie. But Fiddle and Nunu aren't really your type of OMG NO COUNTERPLAY types of champions.

If you're going to complain about Nunu, at least complain about the real issues.

Fiddle fears in a line? That'd be broken, far worse than current Q. A well positioned Fid could fear half your team, winning nearly every teamfight.

Point and click spell a Skillshot? They did that already.. With Ryze.

And if Nunu E were a skill shot, they'd have to massively increase it's speed and it'd still suck. Why? Because it's only good because it's a nice point and click slow with some nice AP scaling.

Not to mention it's Nunu's only reliable source of damage...

You haven't been slapped to death by a Nunu then :)

I mean the fear like cassio ult but not stunning everyone in the cone at the same time but moving in a medium speed from fiddle to the end of the line

Basically turn everything into a skillshot.

Counterplay is taking an action to counter your opponent. Mechanical play is.different. Plenty of ways of countering an immobile, low range mage like annie. scrub

Scrub can apply to any sort of thinking when an individual proposes bad ideas for a non-existent problem.

It's as bad as the people who QQ about fireball spam.

Counterplay is not playing dodgeball. counter play means strategies used to deal with or handle your opponent. Nunu, fiddle, and Annie have plenty of counterplay built into their kits.

It's simply a fact that everyone is so used to every new champion have a skillshot esque ability built in they don't think anything else has counterplay.

click and point abilities serve to counter high mobility champions such as kallista, who make landing those important skillshot.people hard. They allow a form of reliable, usually weaker, cc to deal with higher mobility champs and allow low ranged immobile champs to deal with others.

The thing is point and click skills are only so good because of the shitty mobility meta, if it didn't exist they wouldn't be nearly as good. It's the one counter people actually have left to it.

All three examples you mentioned are prime candidates for reworks though.

(Nunu doesn't really have a clear identity, Fiddlesticks has a click fear and combined with flash ult and W, can tear up a carry with very little counterplay, Annie we all know why or should know.)

Skillshot doesn't always follow balanced logic.

In fact the more mobile champions we get the worse effects of skillshots are.

I'd say I'd prefer playing unchanged 2009 champions than dash-to-win 2015...

Sure, give everyone skillshots so mobile champs become even stronger. Nice tried, Yasuo main.
