strongest passive in the game? (just the passive, ignore other aspects)

Jennifer420··16 votes·11,866 views

in my opinion from just looking at the passive, nasus has the strongest passive in the game. 10% lifesteal to begin with, going up to 20%.

item 1053 ignoring the 15 ad, nasus passive is basically 500gold FOR FREE and goes up to 1k gold. he starts the game almost 2 kills ahead.

considering the ad values champs reach, 20% is godmode.

Dude is handed 2000 gold worth of free stats and a shield for walking.

But we're looking just at the passive, which means Yasuo is handed nothing but a shitty shield that lasts only a second.

0x2 is still 0.

Okay. So nasus doesn’t have a passive because he has to auto attack?

Bard doesn’t have a passive because he has to pick stuff up.

Lucien doesn’t have a passive because he has to use an ability.

Ornn doesn’t have a passive because he has to buy items.

Shall I keep going?

I think with items Yas has the strongest passive. But if you look at just the passive alone, Darius easily has the strongest. A DOT plus insane AD gain

just putting Ornn because nobody mentioned his yet.

Now that's a lot of (possible) gold value for free.

In theory if a game goes long enough it'd be Cassiopeia because she gets free move speed out of her passive and it gives her access to another item slot. Unfortunately Veigar exists so in practice you'd have to use that slot on an item that gives you a passive or active that's more valuable than just raw AP.

AurelionSol - interesting because he gets constant AoE damage but it's very hard to put a number on.

Yasuo - part of why he's broken after the lack of counter-play.

Brand - partly enables him to go support

Fizz - helps enable him to be able to play mid and it removes creep block from fizz mains.

Katarina - 0/5 katarina gets a reset and then hard carries the game. It's pretty good.

Kayle - puts the game on a timer, so it's pretty powerful.

I don't even like Cassiopeia that much because I feel like not being able to buy Ninja Tabi in this age of overbuffed ADCs is making her too much of a liability. It's a shame too because other than that I think she's a great champion.

Well he goes there cos he is just garbage in the mid lane, and if you dont want to troll you have to play him as support

For those who don't know which there are a lot of in my experience playing him top lane and getting "what is that attack speed" after my first blood:

After casting an ability, he gets DOUBLED attack speed on his next 2 attacks, does bonus magic damage on hit, reduces the cooldowns of his W and E, and gives a heal charge on his Q (resets his Q cooldown and increasing the healing it does for each hit).

What people don't understand is the doubled attack speed part. This isn't just 100% attack speed. If you take alacrity from precision and use 9% attack speed runes you get 127% attack speed for a total of 152% attack speed bonus. Build a single attack speed item with these runes and he breaks the attack speed cap while having a free wits end damage on hit passive.

Now for the reduced cooldowns on hit part. Imagine if a different champion permanently had the spear of shojin passive. That is Taric. This is why Taric is trash in urf because he is always playing urf anyways.

Not to mention it scales with armor, so while you’re making enemies auto attacks less effective on you, you’re also gaining more auto damage against them.

I’d be inclined to agree. If it wasn’t for how it actually does nothing for the first 9-15 minutes.

It's entirely dependent on which kit it would be assigned to.

Imagine Nautilus' passive on an ADC. Or Annie's passive on someone like Karthus, or Cassio.

Hell, Imagine Sions passive on any ranged AD champion..

Regardless that means she doesnt have that passive in 1v1s whereas other champions do

so what? game isnt 1v1? 5v5 and in a 5v5 fight her passive is by far the best?

Not the right kind of passive (though I hate her W and it needs an active with like 10 Mana cost or something). We're talking the passive slot

Pyke : Best out-of-combat regen, possibly in the entire game.

Urgot : Literally so much damage.

Nautilus : Free stun on any enemy champ or minion/monster every 4 seconds.

Ornn : Buy items outside of lane, upgrade allies items, what's not to love?

Actually, let's change Nasus's passive. Let's make it 1000% lifesteal scaling to 18,000% at level 18. If you considered it in a vaccum, ignoring other aspects like you said, nasus has no passive because he has no auto attack, range or attack speed to speak of and can't proc said lifesteal. Now if you want to have a more serious conversation, open another thread where you talk about Nasus's passive in context and we can discuss giving him some much needed love in it's place.

Passives that are just stats, so like, idk, Vladimir Darius Kayle Kindred Malzahar Mordekaiser Morgana MissFortune Ryze Sejuani Veigar. Myabe I'm missing something, but I'd rank these pretty high up.

Annie Has a godly passive, though it's not exactly gold value.

Also, let's not forget the best passive in the game KogMawitem 3070

Ackelope1 votes

annie passive is good, but the problem is it does nothing without the rest of her kit to work around it. Any passives that have effects based around champion abilities are kinda automatically disqualified from this list, since actual active abilities are discounted, unless the OP decides for some specific case exceptions.

XYGSYS1 votes

It doesn't work specifically with Annie's kit at all. It would work the exact same on every other kit. You would just make it work on only damaging abilities just like it works on Annie.

Ackelope1 votes

that's what i was wondering. The way the OP phrased it made it ambiguous to me whether they meant that you look at their passives with any set of abilities to go with them, or to look at passives entirely in isolation, with no regard to how they interact with abilities at all.
