Who is/are the worst champion(s) to date?

By worst I mean horribly designed, borderline seems like an oversight that they are/were allowed to exist in the state they were in.

My picks are as follows old: Wicked blades was not thought through at all, for those of you who don't know Riot had to rework draven fairly shortly after release to make him not a night mare to play against as his autos caused enemies to bleed and the summoner playing them want to detach their retinas.

old: The queen of lacking counter play pre rework had to be benched by making her scaling garbage since she could just click ult on your support and dive your carries with immunity.

Reworked: Who ever thought true stealth was going to have a place in the game should be fired, an assassin that can heal, stun, stealth, execute and escape with ease was never going to be healthy for the game and is why she was summarily thrown in the gutter.

The single most polarizing champ in the game can't really go without mention on a post like this, since release he has been a source of ire for many people as he has an uncanny ability to abuse item builds as well as be a durable, high dps, mobile, carry with access to crowd control. And also windwall.

old draven had other problems that were heavily abused by range even more so than now old poppy couldn't lane old poppy had no way of clearing waves even buying tiamat wasn't enough yes once she got to her items she was strong but CC still worked on her despite not being able to do damage to her ie you could kite her out (she had the same counter play as tryndamere but had less damage) new akali is far more interesting to play against than the old one it's a lot better getting outmatched than out statted regardless of your view on true stealth it was much worse playing against champions that invalidated your entire kit because a chmpion has an ability that allows them to see enemies in brush

and your opinion on yasuo is piggybacking

id say new reksai as you don't have champions that can take prio over her as she 1 combos everyone but tanks on her own Zillian as his potential strength is insane but riot keeps his kit boring so he doesn't get played ie he is designed poorly because he can't be popular Old Yorick You had combos like ZIllian Yorick (the old funnel) where your ADC had 4 lives and old soraka that had her aoe q that reduced mr and could heal herself and give mana to herself (she had the zillian treatment until people realized just how unfair she was)

I'll set this up in a way I can give myself some breathing room.

I'm not covering Old Zyra since they literally hotfixed her - when even RIOT knows "we just fucked up so horribly we need to change this right fucking NOW" then it goes without mention.

I give seconds to Yas, but I will bring up specifically the windwall. It's just unhealthy for gameplay not because its something he can dance around, but because in a lot of games, Yasuo players simply push you under tower, throw up the wall, and deny your CS unless you wanna walk into a range suitable for them to land a bunch of poke damage or go for the dive. Having the ability to deny farm under turret with 0 counterplay and 0 risk to the player is not healthy for the game state. You already have arguably one of the most mobile assassins in the game, he's already more than strong enough to deny you cs by playing aggressive and in your face all the time. He doesn't need the added bonus of making sure you can't even farm under tower.
