Three Champion Ultimates That I Think Could Use Some Work

haxboy·4/28/2015, 10:30:37 PM·6 votes·961 views

With Annie being played a lot mid and support these days, I think her ultimate could use some counterplay. After all, Riot's been focusing on creating counterplay. The instant stun is very unfun to play against. It can only be countered by lucky guessing. I think it could be fixed if it was made into a skillshot, with Annie tossing Tibbers in a straight line, and creating the AOE effect on champion hit, or the end of the range.

Malzahar, the most annoying mid laner to play against. As an ADC main, getting into fights against a malzahar is the worst experience. He'll 100-0 using only his ultimate. It's a point and click suppress with zero counterplay.

Although you won't see this guy often, I'll make the same argument as I did with Malzahar. This ult isn't as annoying because Warwick has to jump into the fray, but, nevertheless, it's still a point and click suppress with no counterplay.

Thanks for reading, ~MrHeatmizer

i think malz ult is fine but annies needs to be changed to some degree as for ww i just hold off it for awhile maybe give him some little buffs until they can do a rework for him whenever that will be

Malzahar Warwick are fine since they already have counterplay, mainly that they also cc THEMSELVES when they ult an opponent.

Annie I agree with. She needs one of those "compensation buffs" that Veigar got.

Yeah, just because it is point and click doesn't mean it has no counterplay. The fact they have to click on you makes the skill worse since they need vision, something you probably need as well against them. Heck, get vision all the time. The only one I agree on is Annie because it's not that the ability has no counterplay, it is it is just too strong. It gives people like Malphite no reason to be picked since it is a 1.75 second AoE stun without putting yourself in danger as well as summoning a powerful minion.

Also, are you trying to solo the Malzahar? That doesn't work for anyone. His high single target damage is incredibly high and he is the game's biggest Mage duelist. Bring a friend and he is like paper however.

i will never understand why people hate suppress so much when stuns do the same thing except they are free to run away or beat the shit out of you

Make WW's ult like Sejauni's dash and all would be fine in the world.

I agree skillshots changes on her ult is the best decision. It would seriously stop making all that insta-flash ult stun plays. It's toxic.

No idea why would most ADC like goin in front of him to deal damage instead of being in the back. Assuming Malz would dive in onto you, your teammates have already CC'ed him off for you. Or rather else, get item 3140

Same goes for Malz. Get item 3140 , and ward your lane more.

malz ult has zero counterplay? did QSS suddenly stop being a thing?
