Helps for clearing super-minions off nexus or nexus turrets in late stage desperate situations, when you can't kill them fast enough to stop the destruction of property otherwise.

Destruction of property. LOL +1

I agree, make it so Tristana can't ult minions.

And make it so Cho can't ult minions either, that needs to be fixed too.

this is either poor sarcasm or a misunderstanding of cho's ult design.

Chos ult does massive true damage and gives him a ton of extra health along with a reduced cooldown for using on minions. It makes sense that it gives him health but on a 30 second cooldown it's super easy to get full stacks

Kind of op really. Nerf the true damage.

It's easy to get stacks because it's easy to lose them. It's not like a Nasus or a Sion where once the stacks are acquired they're there no matter what. It's the same reason Mejais is so powerful for it's cost, those stacks come off real fast.

It's a win more mechanic with Cho. If he's ahead, you won't ever kill him because he's so fat from his ult, but if he's behind the bonus HP doesn't really matter and you'll struggle to get any.

Mejai's on the other hand, keeps the purchaser squishy so if they get caught they still die and lose stacks quite easily.

"If he's ahead" name me one carry champ that inst a problem when they are ahead? Cho gah's ult is not even a problem. If anything his passive is a bit too cheap and so is the silence but the ult? It has its clear drawbacks.

Orangesilk8 votes

He's a terrible champion right now, bottom of the barrel, only reason his winrate doesn't plunge to the 45% mark is because of the dedicated Cho'Gath mains. His silence and passive aren't "cheap", they are the things that make him even remotely viable in a meta where most champions have both dashes AND %HP damage.

Try Balori's full magic pen Cho'Gath

Orangesilk5 votes

It's the other way around actually. If you're at full stacks you're performing ADEQUATELY as Cho, he is balanced around that big fat wall of meat. Kill him once and he becomes squishy.

It's awful because it makes his laning very snowbally against him, since landing even a single kill against him makes him easier to kill while giving his enemy laner bonus gold to try and kill him again, and again, and again.

Orangesilk4 votes

It was a joke, damn, a JOKE.

Of COURSE Cho isn't a viable champion if he can't ult minions, that's like, the whole premise of the champ, he eats minions and gets bigger.

'cuz, they're the same size as she is

Straley4 votes

So you don't miss the cannon minion in lane.

Overlord Forte4 votes

The pick up range of the target she R's has use for this. You could ult a minion to catch multiple people, or head off someone, depending.

It's ridiculously niche to the point of being removable, but there are ways to use it.

I know that vayne can condemn minions to jungle. But this is pure wierd. Was there any time this was useful?

Automated Riven13 votes

that one time you flash over blue and the enemy agros it and you have 1 health. so you condemn it away. Also you could prime your E on a jungle mob with trist and ult it into the enemy team.

dem mechanics. but lets be honest here. Id rather just ask kench to eat it and throw it at the enemy for the same results lol

That works in every game kench is in the game on your team.

similarly can also be done with Sion.. he just boots the minion back to the enemy.. when i play Malz with my space Aids they do this alot.. easy way to get that minion with the aids to the back lines for free damage on carries..

If you place a bomb on a minion and use your ult to set it off the radius is doubled. Would be more useful if it is exploded on a champ, but sometimes it's situational. Tristana

...I think you'd be more likely to steal baron with a rank 1 lucian W than you would to ever find yourself in a situation in which this would prove useful.

rank 1 lucian w eh... doesn't say anything else, I could have 1000 AP!

Why is your W rank 1 then lol

Astôlfo2 votes

Sit in fountain to prevent EXP gain but get the passive gold gain.

RavenMagus3 votes

If you didn't kill the minion with four auto attacks, I doubt your bomb is going to be so impactful as to make wasting your ult worth it.

what about baron buffed super minions?

Uh.. If the enemy has Baron, you might want to not waste your ult. Maybe use it on that Nocturne currently slicing your face?

I put my bomb on a minion and ulted it to kill that one bastard Caitlyn who was just out of my range.

Fuck that one bastard Caitlyn.

If you're being sieged you can ult the minions away so the enemy champions draw turret aggro.

Gosh Darn2 votes

It's useful for those special ADCs who have difficulty last hitting the cannon minions :O

TotalJerk2 votes

Riot thought people would pull off #LCSBIGPLAYS by ulting minions with bombs on them into the enemy. I'm not joking, this is actually why that is a thing.

Hello I am Bird1 votes

It would kill the minion before it would get to the enemy tho...

Dengeden1 votes

It's an idea for the occasional super minion too. And when the enemy is trying to break your base.

You won't be saying "why" when you're on 10 health and that minion is gunning for your ass ;)

For every time you denied enemy CS, the ADC died from that missed heal. I'm okay with this tbh

DeathBot66612 votes

Except if your healing a minion cause the ADC is about to shoot and kill it...

Then they aren't shooting your adc...
