An objective look at CertainlyT's work

The champions he created are: and of course the latest addition .

-What is common between all these champions:

A) Lane bullies B) Fun to play. frustrating to play against C) When they are Meta they dominate and are often pick or banned D) When they are not Meta, they are considered by most useless both in pro play and in SoloQ with Yasuo being the exception. E) At release they were extremely powerful (with exception of Zyra until she went bot lane and once that transition started she earned her spot as one of the most lane dominant supports for a long time in many Metas)

• Why are they frustrating

A) The champions that are not as overloaded ( and) have insane strengths that bully out a champion with little chance for retaliation. Any immobile champion hates to play vs Darius. Your only chance is to kite. Zyra on the other hand dictates the tempo and pace of bot lane every time she is meta and the opposite side relies on mistakes from the enemies and not so much from outplaying them.

B) are Huge balancing issue, because they have too much in their kit. They have many passive effects and huge outplay potential. They always have options to be useful and have more tools at their disposal. Mobility, sustain, damage, cc you name it.

• How different are they when comparing with other champions

These days a lot of champions have many tools at their disposal (overloaded if you will), but CertainlyT always manages to make a champion that takes it one step too far. and by today's standards are not all that problematic or overloaded, but at the time (especially ) was a nightmare. took nerf after nerf, until he was outclassed by almost all other supports by base stats alone. His numbers till this day are pathetic and are the only thing that keeps him in check. Yet he is still viable. We all know what the community thinks of at this point it is like beating a dead horse and if is Meta, you get what you saw in worlds 2017... 100% ban rate.

The only 2 champions that resemble CertainlyT's style are:

which at the time of release was so overuned, so busted and till this day the meme exists... nerf Irelia. She was released before season 1 and her kit feels like from late season 3.

And the other is who is very similar to (although not as dominant).

And what does he do now? Releases ...

Well done. Basically pre-rework (that you reworked because it was toxic), but with cc, more mobility and an insane summoner passive... yeah this is far less toxic and balanced.

Why does he continue to create abominations of champions?

It feels like will either become like a champion that alone will dictate the Meta, or like will forever exist until she is nerfed so hard, that her base ratios are garbage just to keep her in check. (Most likely another which of course is the worst case scenario)

Great job CertainlyT! You did it again!
