Guinsoo should design more champions.

Meeks011·Apr 7, 2015·5 votes·1,153 views

Steve 'Guinsoo' Feak has made/worked on the following champions:

Also he's supposed working on a rework.

Now how many of these champions do you find "OP"? How many of these champions do you find "toxic"? How many of these champions do you see spammed every game and beat you almost every time? How many of these lists of champions do not include , the sexiest champion alive? In all seriousness, Guinsoo's champions all seem balanced. People complain about a few of these being underpowered, but there is no such thing as "balanced". There's either overpowered and underpowered, and I'd rather have the latter.

Guinsoo you sexy, sexy man please make more champions.

Stop using the word toxic, people don't know what it means.

Meeks011Apr 7, 20151 votes

It means using poisons duh.

I think someone else handled the new soraka (and I hate her). Sona and Sivir were also reworked... twitch I think too.
Kayle was in a cycle of being OP forever until her ult was overnerfed.
Eve sucks for the most part and has no identity.
I hate fiddle in ARAM.
Morgana was OP for awhile.
Trynd and Shaco are too good in the right hands, too weak in the wrong hands.
Annie became OP when she went support.
Ashe is getting reworked a little because people hate her Q and passive.

However, I think the most important thing is he hasn't made a new champ in ages so I don't think riot is going to let him do that again.

They hated on all of his champions, didn't they...

Fiddle isn't really an issue in ARAM, I never see him. I DO see Kat every ARAM though. Her ult deals the same damage on a cooldown half the time on top of her resets. Plus Fiddles can't get out once he crowstorms in. Kat can get a reset and get out. Plus every other champion that has resets and low cooldown dashes.

People don't 'hate' Ashe's Q and Passive. Its more than other champions are bringing similar utility and not sacrificing dmg for it (looking at you jinx, Varus, kalista).

If you dont think Jinx Chompers is massive utility you are using it wrong, btw.

I see a lot of Morgana and Annie is very toxic to play against.

LockeTheHunterApr 7, 20153 votes

Annie is easily the most overpowered, toxic champion in the game. 3 targeted stuns.

Meeks011Apr 7, 20151 votes

Nah, they just tend to flame a lot as players.

Sire HippingtonApr 7, 20153 votes

you sure notice his DotA roots...massive amounts of cc and alot point 'n click with rather low mobillity.

So how many of those do i consider toxic? Alistar : then ever he was strong, he was nearly a must ban. S1 ap-alli, the horror, S2 Jungle Ali, worse than Lee could ever be, S3/4 toplane Ali, not problematic at all.... Annie : 100% point n click hard nuke with insta aoe-stun, how could that ever be problematic? Evelynn : befor her reowrk, eve was easily the most tosic beeing ever....permastealth, stun, resetting ms/as steroid, selfheal on kill and massive burst with good dps-followup. Fiddlesticks : random bouncing silence untill 4.21, infinite sustain to be kinda immortal vs anyone without hard-cc, 3(now 2.25) sec point n click fear...he's definitly on the toxic list. Karthus : a champion that can walk brainafk into his enemies, die and press R and with only that already outdamage like 90% of all other champions in a teamfight? Dunno what could be wrong with that. not to forget the press R for free global assist/kill duering laneing... Kayle : definitly a pian to deal with back than she was strong, now hardly seen. Mordekaiser : morde S1/2 was probably one off the bigeest problems in lols history... Morgana : The only remaining cham with 3 sec lockdown on a no-ult skill, with 1300 range on top, the only no-ult cc imunity which can even be given to allies....while morgana atleast isn't a full point n click like nearlly all other off his champions, she's still one off the most banned champions over all Seasons... Nunu : ever played a real melee vs nunu, or played vs a toplane nunu? Picking Ashe into LB is a far more fun matchup than pettymuch anyone vs toplane nunu.... Ryze : full püoint n click tanky burst-dps-instant-cc deathmachine I can't recall a season in which Ryze wasn't a problem at some point. Shaco : not much to say, easily in the top 5 of the most toxic champions ever released. Shen : infinite point n click poke paired with high sustain, a escape and a global tp-ult. Back in his strong days, he reached nearly 100% pick ban in professional play with a nearly 70% winrate, after a few not that hard nefs, he's nearly vanished completly. If a champion only knows extemes, there is something wrong with his kit. Singed : That guy is nearly on the same spot as temmo and satan...like really, that guy is highly toxic, figuratively and literally. Soraka : Befor her rework, miss no-cost insta ranged silence was kinda on pair with release lulu in terms of toxic sololaners... Sona : the probably only less interactive design than all point n click: 66% Auto aim, paired with massive sustain. Tryndamere : The lucky cirt toplane bane, mr splitpush and immortal slayer of all living...there were more complains about tryn in his old days than there were about old yi, which definitly says something. TwistedFate : still one of the nasyies champs to deal with if played well. especially back in S1/2. Global tp+2sec point n click ranged stun, random gated invisible power(he gave some crit change for his entire team back in S1, followed by aditional gold for all(atleast wasn't random, but still a massive invisible power.

They reason they are kinda-Up is cause they are kept low since they were pretty overbearing to deal with back then they were strong, and alot of them have changed alot since their release. I'm not complaining about guinsoo, all his champs were from S1, league looked alot different back than and they prettymuch did fit into the grand scheme at that time. But League has changed alot since then, and nearly all his designs violate the current designphilosophy and simply don't fit as well into the current game.

There are a lot of other champions that have resemblances to DoTA champions and from what I know, I see none on this list.

One example is Elise, made by Meddler. Dota has a spider hero called "Broodmother" who gains an army of spiders. There's also someone called."Axe" that has an execute ultimate that Darius seems to use as well. There's also someone that spins their sword around them, something Garen seems to do as well. The only things I can think of that Guinsoo took from DoTA is Evelynn, who is similar to someone called "Riki" that turns invisible out of combat and the fact that there are a LOT of "spell shields" in DoTA.

Sire HippingtonApr 7, 20151 votes

1)i'm talking about game-design similaritys, not explicite similaritys between two charecters or visuall similarity(gameplay wise, the only real similarity between axe and darius is beeing melee and haveing an execute Ult) 2)Dota is far more slowpaced, there are not as much skillshots and mobillity skills, it's mostly point n click, and the amount of cc, especially the duration of a single cc, is pretty high in dota as well as overall utillity as skills rarly scale damage wise and therefore need utillity to stay relevant. Compared to never designs, Guinsoos champs lack mobillity and skillshots with few exeptions, but therefor bring huge amounts off utillity.

Only Annie and Tryndamere . i love playing Morgana Shen Chogath and Karthus . he should make more champions

ModWulf HelhammerApr 7, 20151 votes

Well, Twitch can be pretty toxic. I mean, he does lives in a sewer

Meeks011Apr 7, 20151 votes

Twitch will always be bae in my heart.

SookoApr 7, 20151 votes

Fiddlesticks Kayle Morgana Shaco Tryndamere don't really belong in that list if you want to make your point valid

thinking manApr 7, 20151 votes

"how many of these do you find toxic?"

over half the list l0l

4nth0l0gyApr 7, 20151 votes

Yeah. Guinsoo's had some cool concepts. Some need some serious fixing up ( Shaco , Mordekaiser ), but the better part of them are pretty darned unique and offer healthy gameplay.
