Post 6.14

Did Leona REALLY need that buff? She has potentially 3 HARD CC's.

Did Annie REALLY need that buff? She can land up to 4-5 stuns in a sustained fight.

Did Lee Sin REALLY need buffs? This man is blind and can wallhack...yes WALLHACK with his goddamn kit and instantaneously ward-hop which is technically is an exploit but later accepted to be a 'mechanic'.

Ryze is good.

We have champions like Urgot, Karthus, Yorick, and others who don't get jack shit for seasons. SEASONS GUYS...

Why do you hate and neglect these champions so much Riot? I understand if you're busy, you can wait it out weeks or even months... but SEASONS?

It's getting harder and harder to play Karthus as he decays under all the other champions who get priority over him in reworks/buffs.

We're so focused on how offensive his goddamn skull is in other countries or how he looks in terms of skins.

There's hardly any window to Karthus Ulti nowadays since almost everyone has a Heal, Shield, Spellshield, invincible frames (fizz), jump to outerspace (yes you elise..) or multiple shields/healing to stack on top of one another.

He's only consider 'op' in lower elo because legit NO ONE plays him enough to where people are educated on his kit. It's a lack of knowledge. In plat+ someone with base movement speed of 335 can easily dodge a Karthus Q, that's how sad and delayed his Q is. I'd be happy if they made his Q pop quicker but his radius would be half the size of a normal Q...

I remember back in Season 1-3 Karthus was playable. Botlane took Flash Ignite instead of Barrier or Heal. Toplane wasn't as super tanky from level 1-6.

This Karthus main is going to retire now. I can't take this neglect any more. Every patch I hope these neglected champions get their fair share of notice but they don't. Just like the veterans who die for our country who end up homeless. Society will pay celebrities and entertaining athletes before ever helping out a homeless war veteran.

The rich get richer, the poor remain neglected. The popular get more popular, and the unpopular just rot in hell.

This was a post about neglected champions and strong champions, but quickly turned into a Karthus rant. Hell, he has always been a good pick, I mean...his damage is insane, he does good with tank AP items, and you get to press one button to get fed...Who would complain?

I'm a bit afraid of Leona already because Nami is so squishy; getting hit by Zenith Blade is more often a death sentence than not, and now it's scarier lol.

I haven't heard people call Karthus op in maybe two seasons.

If Annie needs to land more than one stun per fight, then something is wrong.

The changes to the Catalyst in the Mage Update actually spiked Karthus' win rate top lane to 58%, among other champions who exploited the heavy healing it granted. Since it's nerf, he's gone back to typical winrates, but the fact remains that he's pretty well balanced if a mere item skyrockets his winrate instead of mechanic elements in his kit.

As for the others - stop complaining and keep yourself up to date. Yorick is getting nothing because he's currently, right this minute, being completely overhauled. It makes no sense for them to nerf/buff him when they're remaking him in the next few months. As for Urgot, he's gotten several buffs a few months back, one to allow his shield to scale on mana, and one to give his ult fear to all those around when he lands. Otherwise, Riot's been throwing his name out as a potential overhaul for next year, so they probably won't touch him in patches if plans go through.

While I do see your point about how long it has been since he was reworked/buffed/anything..... you have to remember they have been taking older champions and reworking them too. Sion was remade, Juggernauts too, ADC's, most mages, and soon assassins..... Karthus is still plenty viable, while having lots of ways he can be out played.... With Rylias that makes it quite a bit harder for them however :p but I still see what you are saying. But everyone has that one champ they love to play that they do not get to play as often.

You are a Karthus main, you know him inside and out.... I never say I main a champion, and you will almost never see more than about 3 games in a row from me with the same champion, doesnt matter which role im in. Some champions just do better against the enemy matchup than others. Karthus is not good against every single mid laner, or team, even if he CAN work against them.

Not all the time do people HAVE barrier or heal or invincible that they can use for Karthus ulti, because they used it to survive a different fight. On the other hand, Karthus is a very immobile champion, are you wanting him to be changed into a mobile champion with spectral dashes and such? It would likely go against how you enjoy Karthus so youll just be saying they ruined him and quit anyways. If you are looking for an excuse to leave while blaming Riot on the way out..... you know you could just leave right?

Yes, there are some champions that are long overdue a rework or something to make them feel more useful, but how long has it been since Alistar was reworked? How about Renekton? Nasus perhaps? Those are just some off the top of my head that have not seen much reworked or buffed really.

Btw, Karthus Q is not supposed to just be a "im going to always hit you with this" ability..... because otherwise you wouldnt be able to make the enemy dance around like they are in a western having their feet shot at so they will dance. Its spammable, take the spammable semi low cost ability that can do about 70-100 damage at level 1 against singled targets........ and have the enemy dancing.

I can't bring myself to downvote you, but I do not agree with you enough to upvote either.

Just fyi, Annie wasn't buffed. She just got bug fixes. Although I didn't really think Leona needed touching and I don't play Lee, they still are updating and reworking older champions. Yorick is finally getting done, you know? They take awhile plus they have the class updates too. I feel with ya about some champions being neglected or nerfed to the dirt (Eve) but at least we know they will be worked on some time.

Lee need some love, don't have a good winrate with this char in general (plat+) 46% win rate and 49.5% after 125+ game

Muffenman457/14/2016, 1:40:27 PM1 votes

the only reason this is happening is because the meta is suppost to be exciting i fell Leona isn't exciting because one mis hape and u r cced to death but Ashe landing a clutch arrow from across the map or lee sin running across the map while on low health for a 50 second chase is fun to watch or TF coming out of nowhere these are cool plays and are fun to watch karthes getting 3 kills from base inst cool it takes no skill with a coordinated team or Urgot switching using his ult on an adc and yorick isn't fun to watch at all for example his laneing faze and if the adc has his ult she gets 2 spell rotations these champions arent fun to watch thats why they arent in the meta sorry but its true

When people say Leona was buffed in 6.14 When people actually complain about someone as Lee Sin getting a minor buff on the ability he maxes last
