My opinion on champions that begin with the letter B-C in patch 6.9

First thing I want to say is, I know I'd say I would do B-D, but I was only able to get through 8 champions this time, I will do a few more later on in the day though. Bard is one of the champions in League of Legends that is fun, He is fun to play, have on your team, have on the enemy team, and just great all around, However. As fun of a champion that he is, the accidental mistakes his tunnels could make, or that his ultimate could cause, can bring a very large amount of frustration to both allies and enemies. Bard is one of the lack-luster supports however, his play making potential is massive but never utilized, Most attempts at play making with this champion fall flat or never launch, his ability to roam is high and powerful, but without trust in your ADC you can't take advantage of his Chimes, the bonus movespeed, and the power of his ganks. Another problem with this champion is lack of communication, even if your ADC can be trusted to stay in lane 2v1, the jungler or midlaner might not be ready for your ganks making your time wasted, I believe with a slight buff to base movement speed this champions win rate could rise to about 49% maybe 50%, though right now he's very lack-luster and only the people who have practiced him extensively should play him in ranked. He is seriously fun though. Blitzcranks vary from elo, but one thing that doesn't vary is their ability to land hooks, They will or they wont for a majority of the game. Having a Blitzcrank who can't land his hooks can be very demoralizing but people don't realize that there is more to this champion than his hooks. Blitzcranks abilities to initiate isn't just a pull, He can activate his W for a major speedboost, run straight into the enemy with an E, R, and then the Q to secure it. He's a very fun champion to play that doesn't fall behind to easy and can always be a major asset to the team, He can clear waves of minions quickly, pair him up with a Righteous Glory or Frozen Gauntlet and your enemies wont be getting away any time soon. Overall this champion is greatly designed but is a very team motivation deciding champion, a bad Blitzcrank can demoralize like I said before, but a good one can give your team the confidence to push more, take more, and kill more that you could need or could of done without you thinking of it. I think Blitzcrank is a little underrated right now but I wouldn't mind if he lost some more popularity due to how heavy of cancer he could be if he is very good with his hooks because sometimes they look like they miss, but it still pulls you which I think is a glitch. With the patch of 6.9 there isn't too much information I could say on this champion without seeing it more often/playing it more often, however due to the balance changes I would say this champion went up in strength exponentially but definitely not enough for his ban rate, currently one of the more overrated champions of the Mage update but a straight terror if used correctly. If your opponents haven't learned to group too much around Brand by the second or third time they've lost a fight, the game is basically already yours, Your passive isn't as strong as people make it out to be because you have to lane 2 skillshots if you don't use your ultimate, but if you use your ultimate it is a pretty easy passive to proc, however the damage on it feels lack-luster at times according to how many spells you've landed, but if you land a full rotation plus a great ultimate, this champion will devastate his foes. Braum is one of those feel good champions, You feel good just for playing him, with a heart of gold, sayings of wisdom, and words of kindness Braum is fun to play and makes you feel good while doing so. His voice matched with his dialogue is one of the best in the game, feeling as if he is truly caring for people, one of the first few champions to have interacting quotes to items, and ally champions. Braum has some amazing abilities to pack aswell, His Q is a great ability to apply his passive with, slow, and it has a fast travel rate. His W and E paired up can block a** huge ** amount of damage when timed well, and help allies survive, plus his ultimate displays the great power he holds, He makes you feel like an invincible men of men that cannot be weakened down to the last breathe and will always help save others. Truly one of the best designed champions Riot has created. Caitlyn is one of the Marks[wo]man in the game that is considered "safe". Safe being used here as in, hard to reach without strong gap closers and can peel for themselves, Caitlyn is great pick if enemies have weak gap closers, or no gap closers, he ability to stay a very long distance to Auto-Attack paired with her Snares, Net and ultimate make her a true Marks[wo]man, I would say this is one of the champions you could choose to learn ADC without being punished too heavily along with and Cassiopeia was one of the edited mages in Patch 6.9, Her new passive makes it so she no longer needs Boots, and gives her an extra item slot which sounds great on paper right? However her movespeed is based on level, The problem with this is if you get ahead in lane, The enemy has no chance to escape you, if you get behind, you have no chance to escape. This plus the lack of magic penetration you would get through Sorcerer Boots makes it almost questionable if the change to her passive _is worth it. _ Putting her passive aside, her new Miasma covers almost an entire lane now, While being a great zoning tool, the damage on it is lack luster even with the reduced cooldown of your E. My overall thoughts on Cassiopeia is that of the 6 Major Mages updated, She drew the short straw and is going to need a early game buff on her passive plus her ultimate which is easy to counter and expect. Cho'Gath is a massive monster like creature from the void, I love that concept really, I feel though he could use a major VU in-game and his abilities to be Vu'd too, His passive could also use a buff, the sustain is great in lane, but it isn't really too noticable unless it's very pokey champion your up against, but it wont help you against champions who thrive in burst damage or extended engagements, [For example Talon in the midlane, or Darius in the toplane] ~Top lane Cho'Gath should typically be a counter-pick, His abilities plus his passive makes him have a very suppresive, outsustain style of laning, plus a true damage execution ult making him great against picks like , though I recommend not picking him into , , and ~Midlane Cho'Gath should be picked into a enemy that you plan on out-sustaining, then punishing if they make mistakes. Such examples being; Champions that can burst him down before he could respond accordingly though are his biggest counters mid, Such examples are; I wouldn't suggest Midlane Cho'Gath right now however because assassins like Twisted Fate and Yasuo aren't too strong, and with Zhonyas having a increased cooldown it wont always be up against a good Zed, but against a average or below average Zed you shouldn't need it too much however. Corki has come into meta, dropped out, come back time and time again, At the beginning of this Pre-Season he had a extreme amount of damage that was hard to build against, Most of it being magic as he built Attack Damage, with his Q/W/R being Magic damage but his E and half of his auto's being Physical he'll never be truly easy to counter build. His nerfs in patch 6.7 gutted Corki, dropping his win percentage from a impressive 51% to 46%, and his play rate from 6.45% to 4.89% in a single patch and they both lowered by each passing patch, This Daring Bombardier will remain weak until either he receives a buff or the oppressive champions that can dominate him are nerfed, but until then let his airplane go for a refuel. > A user by the name DarkenedAuras showed he wanted Rek'Sai in particular, so I will go ahead and add her to the list. Rek'Sai is the only female Void champion currently, her kit design + play-style is very well pieced together, however her inability to speak made her less popular than she could of been, As Azir is an arrogant King of Shurima, she could of been the arrogant Queen of her species in the void, but with a lack of a voice actor, voice, or design, she doesn't have dialogue besides a few weird sounds and screeches, I feel as if a lot more people would play her if she had a more interesting character, she did however dominate most of the first half of Season 5 by being a Pick or Ban champion and even occasionally played in the top lane, With the weakening of champions that used Feral Flare, she now has a winrate higher than 50% this patch, and I personally think she is going to become even stronger around 6.11, With Ghost being buffed in 6.10 I would recommend other junglers, but in 6.11 I believe Ghost will be toned back a bit and she will definitely be a sleeper due to her less than average play rate.
