The worst designer at Riot
It isnt CertainlyT if thats what yall are thinking. I know the Yasuo and Zoe hate trains are well and alive. But for all those champions flaws and frustration they cause to the ones facing them, one designer has gone above and beyond frustration and originality. Yup its Jag the one the only, the Aatrox Ender, Mister Hookshot, Spandex Void Menace himself. The man has (to my and many others disfortune) 3 champions to his name. Camille,Kaisa and Bbtorx(i will not call this dumpsterfire Aatrox). Camille The Unoriginal Shadow Ah Camille the bruiser with a cool concept wasted on a kit without a single unique bone in its body(this will become a trend). First off the running theme with Jags champions so far has been that they are good vs everything and have answears to near any situation. Camille is a tank buster with true damage rivaling a 5 stack Darius ult on a spammable double auto reset, a champion with a massive shield on demand making her trading extremely safe, 2 extra sources of max hp % dmg cus she didnt melt tanks fast enough, a screen wide gapcloser/stun/attack speed steroid which also doubles as an insane escape again on demand, also her ult because Jagmaister thought she needs more %dmg and a fucking zone you cant leave ANYWAY, talk about counterplay am i right?. Camilles kit is near in total made up of stuff we have seen in previous releases, hell the only unique thing she has is an adaptive shield as a passive(can you have a more boring passive) and a hookshot which is basicly a glorified dash. Kaisa the Void Supermodel/Elite escort Kaisa aka Vayne but does magic dmg instead of true dmg. Tacked on evolutions because reasons i guess you can never have too much in a Jag kit i guess. A kit with no cohesion, just a jumbled mess of stats and abilities put in a skin tight suite and a supermodel body cus sex sells. I cant even continue talking cus there is honestly nothing interesting here to discuss, its a vanilla kit an inter can mock up in a week. And finaly the worst offender, the release that broke a playerbase, the release that destroyed many a players trust in Riots reworks(including my own). Bbtrox the Darkin Hammer This thing has besides being a proplay nightmare which forced Riot to literaly remove him from viablity at any stage of play(even then pros still pick him for reasons i will explain below) sundered the Aatrox main community so badly its remains a toxic landfill of hatred and bitternes 8 months later. Simply put the kit straight sucks. The delays for his Q are increadibly long for an ability that falls off harder than Pantheon vs a 6 item Riven, tickles tanks after not even half an armour item, his healing might as well not exist, the W is a joke wtf is this thing am i playing Thresh or something? The E exists only cus main man Jag coundt work up the brain power to actualy make the Q work without gimping the entire champion. The ult is just a lame mobile GA with fancy animations that just breaks proplay and does little to nothing in normal play except delay your death by 3 seconds. The passive is an a basic enhanced auto seen 50 times before with a passive effect that does something i guess. Nothing of old Aatrox was kept besides the revive which was by far the least interesting or exciting thing about old Aatrox, the thing got you killed more often than not and felt like a massive handicap since people just ran away or circled you and butchered you the second you revived. How anyone thought this was core to Aatrox is beyond my simple commoner mind to comprehend. Now we are stuck with a 44% winrate trashcan with a playrate to rival Mordekaiser, but as long as a few fat Koreans are happy the 99% of us need to be happy too i guess. Of these 3 projects this man created 2 bland messes of balance issues and 1 aborted dumsterfire rework that alienated near every old main and failed completly to bring new people into the champion. Jag please do us all a favor and limit your work to bringing coffe to people who are actualy good at their jobs. Sincearly Every Aatrox Main
's, and she does her entire job of melting down tanks.
