Most broken ult?

Nybx4life·Jan 21, 2015·1 votes·1,029 views

Maybe I'm just ranting and trying to compensate for not being very skilled, but there are some champions that seem very broken, or at least what spikes a champion's power in ways that feel are far from balanced. The largest offender in my opinion would be Poppy's ult, which gives invulnerability for a solid amount of time to all but one, and half(?) damage for that one target. Target a scared squishy, or a target that doesn't have a lot of dps, and she has a God Mode stronger than Kayle's ult, which at least is short enough to be used situationally.

What do you guys think? Are there other ult's that seem game-breaking? Are there abilities that seem too powerful?

I think you got it right, right off the bat.

Poppy's ultimate is so cancerous, her rework can't come any sooner (not saying she's OP atm since she's mana-gated.)

I think it's a problem at least in ARAM. You get Poppy to 6, pick the weakest champ, and go nuts on everybody else.

tfw orianna "is a utility mage" meanwhile ult deletes 3/5 people

Command: Shockwave 300(+70% AP)

Stranglethorns 350(+70%)

"Deletes 3/5 people" okay, try not standing on her ball while she unleashes her combo.

And Orianna doesn't get free long ranged autoattacking minions that come with a built in Rylai's, or an AoE snare to go with her knockup.

rofl lets not forget it also negates all CC except from one source. poppy is cancer and i hope she gets reworked

Nybx4lifeJan 21, 20151 votes

On the same note, she needs a new splash art. Seriously, it's dated as all hell.

Nasus do you really need to ask that question

Nybx4lifeJan 21, 20151 votes

Yeah. I'm new to the forums, so I decided to get the obvious out of my system with who I hope are the nicer parts of the League community.

disregardableJan 21, 20151 votes

it was a rhetorical question. it was like, the answer is so obviously nasus that you don't need to ask. I was trying to sound witty.

Nybx4lifeJan 21, 20151 votes

Sorry about that. Not too good with the internet chatting thing.

Nybx4lifeJan 21, 20151 votes

I think there's also champs that snowball with their ults, like MasterYi Master Yi's Highlander, which means you start with it, q somebody in a teamfight, take out a squishy or two, q again, and just go nuts while the ult is up. thankfully, stuns can stop him, but not much else unfortunately.

I have to say poppy's and vi's

poppy's ult ignores cc from any other champ other than the one she's targeting. So she goes in ults the support and proceed to get a triple kill and no one can do a damn thing about it. That ult is the epitome of cancer.

Vi literally barges through every one just to get the one she targets, it's annoying but not as stupid as poppy's

Nybx4lifeJan 21, 20151 votes

Vi's ult reminds me of a better version of Cait's ult, since once the target goes in, it won't be stopped. Fortunately, it's not the most powerful thing in the game.

In the same vein of cooldowns, there's Katarina Kat's ult, which is always bound to melt non-tank champs, which paired with her passive cooldowns, she's almost bound to get a double or triple once she gets that first kill.

Ravenous Flock makes fighting Swain an incredibly risky thing if you're a melee Champion.

It just feels like that part of his kit alone is what makes him so dangerous to melee.

Nybx4lifeJan 21, 20151 votes

From what I see, Swain's ult gives him ridiculous sustain. With his kit, you'd have to burst him down hard, or pray he goes oom.

Veigar so your ap mid got fed....

Nybx4lifeJan 21, 20151 votes

I dunno, but I feel like most matches are won with a fed ap mid. Rarely is it the top lane tank that does it, and sometimes I see the bot lane adc carry as stated in their title. More often it's the relentless ganking of the jungler, and the ap mid going nuts on the enemy team.

I sense sarcasm, but I'll say it's not that broken, compared to others. Good usage of the ult can make plays, instead of just tossing it all willy-nilly.

You don't even know what broken means.

Then you explain it, with some solid examples, if you would please.

I already did in many threads, so either google is your friend or search in the sub forums. Tired of explaining 1+1 every week.

Nybx4lifeJan 24, 20151 votes

sighI'm sorry, but I won't place an effort into looking for your argument when you have a perfect platform for constructing it here. If you can't even place a link of your own comment in another thread, why am I the one to fish for something of relevance outside this thread?

Karthus, Global ult that can completely ruin laning phase even when you aren't in his lane =
turning a close lane into a very one sided because of someone just existing in the other is not cool at all (same sorta goes for soraka because hers is a heal but if she uses it when you are already high hp isnt going to matter much)
