The top 15 most banned champions all got some instant mobility

But hey, mobility is not getting out of hand. Better nerf any immobile champions. It will fix everything.

Edit : and are also big offenders, but their ban rate are very low. This is why they are not in the list.

Edit 2 : By "instant mobility", I'm referring to a blink, an ability that allow you to transport from point A to point B instantly, even if there is a wind-up (Liss' E, Kat's E) or a very fast moving dash (J4 flag combo, Vi's Q).

For some reason, being mobile has nothing to do with how much damage you do.

Oh wait, yes it does, it increases the damage your champion is allowed to do.

"instant" meanwhile azir has to summon a soldier first. also liss isnt really what i consider "instant" mobility, as she has to fire a slow moving projectile.

DirewolfiezFeb 15, 20155 votes

She has a blink. She can move from point A to point B instantly, as long as her claw is at point B. So, yes, blinks = instant mobility.

wolfaxFeb 15, 20155 votes

Yes, but she either has to use it before she really needs the blink (so she has to judge pretty accurately when she'll be in danger) or watch as the claw agonizingly moves far enough away for to matter. Usually if she waits for the latter she's dead.

who the fuck bans riven?

Raja ChachkiFeb 15, 20152 votes

the people who are for some reason, unable to play against her.....they are also the people who make Riven QQ threads because they feed Rivens.

Literally all fifteen. Way to go, Riot,..

Gnar does nothing early, Katarina is banned in bronze..... the rest are all overpowered. Except Azir and who actually take a decent amount of skill... or at least for Lissandra. Nidalee has no risk as she has a 3 second pounce, a 3 second one-shot you all game screw magic resist, a 3 second get one shotted with a melee attack with 1200 health left, and a heal that nullifies whatever you throw back at her. Balance OP.

Where's Lee Sin on your fifteen?

azir takes a decent amount of skill lissandra is throwing sharp ice for days and claw away when in danger

burst combo is as simple as point click ;l

DanofDemaciaFeb 15, 20152 votes

Yeah no... Liss takes no skill.

All high damage WITH mobility.

Knight SoIaire Feb 15, 20154 votes

instant mobility and most of them has hard cc on a big scale and good damage and good range and good escapes

its either mobility and infinite safety or having everything in your kit (mobility, damage, tankyness, hard cc)

while compare it to a mordekaiser ? what does he do ? some % hp damage and thats it, he literaly has nothing in his kit besides damage a little higher than everything you listed here daius is the same case, where he just does barely anything meaningfull besides dunking fom time to time

dont say mobility creep, its a clear powercreep where riot just overloads champions with everything they can think of while some are just meele balls of stats that do nothing besides having stats

Azir, Jarvan, Lissandra, Rek'sai and MAYBE Kalista at low AS don't have instant mobility

Raja ChachkiFeb 15, 20152 votes

Azir:dash Jarvan:dash Lissandra:"blink" Rek'sai:dash Kalista:dash

I agree with most of these bans aside from lissandra. But yeah people have been screaming mobility is destroying the game myself included for years. The emphasis of new champions with mobility is old and new champions aren't even unique anymore. And old champions who actually have unique kits are obsolete. Imo, I wish we could reverse time to 2010, late 2009. Best years of league. Everything after that basically became poop.

Azir is already gutted, so you can remove him.

RisurinFeb 15, 20151 votes

only 6 of them have more then 50% win rate tho :^)

The SoulforgedFeb 15, 20151 votes

Mobility like vi q are dashes, not just because of the windup, but because of travel time. If something has travel time, it is not instant. Also, blinks go through a wall if they reach at least halfway, but dashes only go through if they reach all the way.

I find it interesting Azir is now the lowest winrate by a mile, yet still so highly banned.

I'm not sure you know what a blink is. Flash, Ezreal's E, and Kassadin's R are examples of blinks; they don't get interrupted by CC, you can't hit them while they're traveling because they literally have no travel time (maybe a cast animation, but still cannot be interrupted). Of the champions you have listed, the only ones who have a blink are Kassadin, Lissandra (second cast of E), LeBlanc (only second cast of W; first cast is a dash), and Katarina. Also Yasuo's ult, but that's not part of your main list. The rest are dashes (you might be able to argue Reksai's ult, since she's untargetable, but it's not really a blink).
