Who is that one champ you just absolutely can't stand?

MysticDreams12··6 votes·1,562 views

Mine?

Zed

I fucking hate this god damn champion. No counterplay, extreme safety, high reward little risk.

I wish he would be deleted from the game, and the person who made him was fired from Riot.

That's how much I hate him.

I would deal with Yasuo everyday if they had never made this champion but they did. Just awful.

Who is yours?

Yasuo

  • Regenerating shield of around 510 health in combat and is fully refreshed on ult? Yep.
  • No resources/mana and low cooldowns? Yep.
  • Projectile blocking wall that lasts four seconds and can't be destroyed? Yep.
  • Double critical strike chance meaning a phantom dancer and one cloak of agility = over 10k spent by any other champ for 100% crit? Yep.
  • Full lifesteal single-target applying on a multi-person Q (tornado) instead of 33%? Yep.
  • Ability to dash and kill minions every half to one-tenth of a second and prevent you from engaging early to stop him from farming? Yep.
  • Ability to go from 0-6 to 25-8 and carry a losing game to a victory due to ridiculous scaling, a 27 second ult at rank 3, and 1.3 Q? Yep.
  • 50% bonus armor pen for 15 seconds on said 27 or so cooldown ult just for using it? Yep. (oh, and it only applies to critical strikes, aka all the time when he has one item and one component.)
  • Absolutely a broke piece of cancer that the creator of should be fired for designing and unleashing on us 4 years this December? YEP.

Despite it all, I still regularly destroy him but that doesn't mean I enjoy it and how much effort is required to put this cancer or the other cancer champs in this game Tryndamere MasterYi XinZhao Garen down and then they pop back up stronger than ever after dying. The true sign of being broken and overpowered is when you can destroy a team that's decently fed after going 0-5 or worse. Same for the assassin with true damage who can't be slowed, the piece of trash who can't die for five seconds even if under your turret, the melee champ with crit and healing built into his passive who also can't take damage outside of his ult area, and the tank with the damage of an adc who can build one tank item and go 1 on 5 and win by 25 minutes, with true damage to boot.

I don't want to be that guy, but Zed has counterplay and he's not the safest champion. A Soraka or any other form of hard CC will immediately invalidate him.

I hate Annie. Fuck Annie and her entire design. STUN passive that never expires/degrades over time, insane AA range, point and click abilities, high burst/sustained damage, gets relatively tanky, ultimate is just a huge ball of fuckery in it's own right, and she might as well not even have a mana bar. Seriously, I HATE Annie so much...

MysticDreams124 votes

Sorry but no, he has no counterplay and has the one of the highest safety measures in the game. That stupid fuck needs to be deleted.

Hotarµ3 votes

But he does? Dodge his skillshots, don't get caught out, and if you get ulted on, drop cc behind you or have your team shield you?

MysticDreams125 votes

His skillshots are pretty easy to hit no matter how much you move around. Once he gets enough damage no shield will save you unless he's exhausted plus you get a redemption or heal and lucky enough to have your zhonyas active up if you're an AP mid laner.

To me, he has no counterplay.

The steam life3 votes

That's just you unwilling to get better. you can stun him when he exits ult. you can flash away right as he gets out to make him miss his skills you can poke him down as he is melee and he does not offer anything to a team fight besides single target damage which is pretty choreographed so you can get a shield from a support.

Don't just complain about a champ because they have an advantage in 1v1 combat which is their one strength.

MysticDreams121 votes

Really? How rude. I am striving to get better everyday but can't do that when Riot nerfs AP itemization to shit and keeps atrocities like him in the game.

It's hard to stun him in the fast .5 second window that he has before he presses R and blinks out. Flash is only up every 300 seconds so if you used it the last time he jumped on you- you're dead. Poking him is probably the only thing you can do to him in lane but even then he hits you with his stupid shruikans and does more to you than you can to him.

He has one of the worst team fighting phases in the game, I will agree to that.

He has more than just one strength- 1v1 combat, safety, no counterplay and making you tilt of your rocker.

The steam life1 votes

You can buy zhonyas and I play a lot of mages ap itemization isn't garbage. Plus you are acting as if all of his abilities are point and click and can one shot he still needs to aim and make sure you are dead which usually isn't accomplished by a q e combo. and again just because he can kill a mage or adc 1v1 which is his one job because he has no cc not even a slow doesn't mean he's busted just that you don't want to have to try and get good enough to outplay with the windows of opportunity presented.

MysticDreams121 votes

Zhonya's isn't a good counter item anymore. And yes a lot of APs itemization is garbage.

Again, rude.

I always work to outplay my opponent but with Zed being so busted and no counterplay it's hard to do that.

I'm done with you.

The steam life1 votes

Whose mans is this like clearly he isnt even played in pros so like he clearly has counterplay. Zhonya is a good counter item as it negates his ult entirely so like yeah and again his ablities arent point and click and again his ult is choreographed and AGAIN he should have the advantage if he plays it pefectly you shouldnt be able to win or else youd be better in teamfights and even in a 1v1

MysticDreams121 votes

Again. Zhonyas isnt a good item anymore since they nerfed the shit out of it. You can save yourself once, then Zed can ult you TWO MORE TIMES in the timespan that the active is down. Is that counterplay? HELL NO!

But you just listed like 5 counterplays...

MysticDreams121 votes

Zhonya's isn't a good counterplay example. There isn't counterplay if you have to exhaust, heal, and shield all in once just to keep someone from dying.

Lol.

I can stop a zed cold with 3 different abilitys on blitzcrank

Janna has Q and R

Sona has R

Soraka has E

Taric has stun (ult to but its harder to time)

Braum has ult

Alistar has q and e

Nami has q and r

Thresh has q and e

Rakan has W and R

As you can see almost every single support has at least 1 ability that will stop 100% of zeds damage.

And thats without exhaust or heal.

Zed has SHIT TONS of counterplay. Like hes EASILY the most balanced assassian in the game.

MysticDreams121 votes

Zed has no counterplay, along with one of the worst balanced assassins in the game.

Sure a support can stun him but if the Zed was any good they would dodge it and ult the ADC before you could hit them. I've seen most do that unless they were wood tier.

No. Your not understanding me or zed. I recommend playing about 20 games and learning what he can and cant do. That really helped me when i thought the most broken overpowered peice of shit was tryn.

Zeds ult doesnt actually do alot of damage.

It amplifies the damage done after the ult is cast and deals execute damage based off that.

If a zed ults all the support (or anyone with a ground targeted CC) has to do is cast the CC where the zed is going to appear (always directly behind the ADC and precisely at the same time as well so its extremely easy to time)

If done properly zed ult will only deal 100 ish damage and he won't get a single other ability off which means his ult wont amplify the damage. Which is pitiful.

Zed literally CANNOT dodge the CC because hes forced into it due to how his ult works.

There isnt a single other assassian whose main form of damage has such a telegraphed weakness.

And when i say weakness i mean it. A single CC is like a 90% damage reduction for a zed.

MysticDreams121 votes

Wrong. I've seen Zeds who their ult deals a ton to almost kill or actually kill even if they get CC'd after. Thanks to Riot n balance n all.

It's actually harder than you think to time it right to hit him after he ults, and a lot of people in my tier and below do not have those reaction times. And almost every damn time I want to play ADC, the enemy gets a Zed and my support can't do shit to save me.

That's why I'm mostly a support main- because I realize I can do it well and that's how I've done it since I got into League for the most part. But when I want a break and want to have some fun playing another role, Zed is somehow unbanned and some gets him and ruins the game, tilting me off my rocker.

I hate this damn champion so much.

Wow, that's rude.

Also, that's Faker so don't be comparing one of the best players in the world to the whole community. Of course people can't do absurd shit like that.

He still has no counterplay to me.

nm10101 votes

Literally anyone with decent timing can hit skill shots on Zed coming out of R. He always lands on the opposite side he ults from, I've seen silvers do this. It isn't some godly Faker skill nowadays (back then it was because Zed didn't have an r swap delay).

abca981 votes

That Zed coulnd't use the shuriken from W shadow because it dissapeared right when Zed ulted. Also Ahri charmed him exactly after he appeared. She also used flash and the 3 dashes of the ult which makes way harder to kill than the average mage.

I am not mentioning Morgana as she only used exhaust when Zed was almost dead.

if your team has any sort of brain he'll get cced right after he ults and deleted or he'll have to recast it and waste his ult

MysticDreams121 votes

As you must know, I'm sure, a lot of the teams you get don't have fast reactions so not all get the memo. Occasionally you will get some that do.

Dope Solo4 votes

I've only started playing ranked recently, but its funny how often he gets banned, and by both teams. Zed is a broken pos that's for sure.

Fizz

I think i have managed to win lane against him ONCE (one single time) out of my entire 2 years of this game as a mid main, and it was only because i was playing Orianna when she was incredibly meta and the fizz was mastery 1.

I have no clue how people win against this champion. Once he hits levels 3-4, he just facerolls you with ignite and you automatically die, and before that he just gets an early gank to keep you from harassing him till he hits his bullshit level 3 powerspike.

Annie

I have won lane against this champion twice in two years as a mid main, both times because i was getting a camp from my jungler and the annie was stupid.

I cant even bring myself to explain how much i hate this champion. Fuck Annie.

I hate this champ, so much. To the point I actually cursed out loud seeing him buffed this patch. Super fun trying to kill someone with a built-in stoneplate. Who, for some reason, still does high damage with a Bami's Cinder. Also, as I play divers primarily, his W (on freindly targets) is up there with Lulu ult in regards to annoying abilities.

I don't know what it is about her, but she just tilts me off the face of the earth. Allied or Enemy, doesn't make a difference. It might be because the ones I get (Allied or Enemy, as stated above) are Cocky as all getout, but the fact nonetheless stands.

I've beaten and lost to my fair share of Riven players, but I just can't stand her.

Zed can be countered with zhonyas, the bad thing is that only the mid laner can buy it while the rest of the team can't.

Kennen

Every iteration of him is shit to play against whether it's AD Kennen top abusing you with nonstop poke while being ungankable, AP Kennen 100-0ing you and your team every time his flash is up, or even support Kennen which is a thing for some reason.

Nami and Lulu . This was way before ardent. I hate them with a passion.

Jaspers1 votes

Riven Few things to me don't make sense with her, I don't think she's OP, I don't mind the animation cancelling stuff, it's hard to pull off without practice. But those who play her are just jumping around with no worries, building up their passive with no worries. You go to get one CS from melee minions and Bam!, she jumps in stuns you and after a short trade of her bouncing around like an idiot runs away.

No, extended trade, no letting me get a single ability off, just runs. At least Darius, Shen or other top laners fight you but no. No mana no worries. Gated by cooldowns right? Yeah, if they were double what they are maybe. 11 seconds on a stun that deals damage. Level 1 W on Yorick, 20 seconds, doesn't deal damage and is just a small wall.

And stop bouncing, jeez.

Fuck Fizz, I can never dodge the fish ult and its base damage gives enough to one shot me, along with the slow to catch up with me. If i do manage to dodge it, i can never get a good trade in due to Playful/Trickster.

Darius He is way too op. His base damage and defenses are super higher. He has cc, auto reset, wave clear, and a bleed so you are never out of combat. He heals so much that you can't burst him. His bleed and true damage ult makes it impossible to take an extended fight against him . [sg-zephyr]
