Camille's Ult Nerf

Eternal791··2 votes·681 views

So I noticed this while playing Camille and looked for the patch notes to confirm my suspicions and found out Camille's ult no longer stays up after she dies. I'm probably in the vast minority here, but I feel like that's an unnecessary nerf that removes some of the overall usefulness of her ult.

With the nerfing of the knock-back and removal of stuns on it, the only real use her ult has now is getting a slight damage boost and keeping single targets from running away. I thought it was perfectly fine when it was also useful for making Camille a champion you shouldn't tower dive (unless her ult is down). It is also quite useless in team fights now as it often doesn't seem to even knock enemies back all the time. I think the knock-back should either be buffed or the ult should stay up when Camille dies.

I'm perfectly fine with all the other Camille nerfs, as they seem to put her in a pretty good places as far as I can tell.

yeaaaas. why should it stay up after her nice death?

Because she didn't leave the arena. It says it only closes after 4 seconds or if she leaves the arena.

upon her death, she's left the arena. therefore, it is correct. upon revival, she enters the arena.

If it were referring to Summoner's Rift as the arena then your statement would be correct. However it is talking about the arena that Camille's ult creates. In which case, Camille's body stays where she died for a bit; meaning she did not leave the arena.

yes she did.. her soul leaves her body and her body is of no more until the Nexus grants her another chance at brutally murdering her foes with Overpowered Forces from her lips of desire and tail of fluffy death

Watch the game when you die. Your body stays there for a bit.

While I can understand that you enjoy the "feel good" aspect of the fullness of an ultimate cast and want to make it see the best potential it can possibly see, the actual ultimate is a horrendous experience for anyone caught in it and honestly deserved a different kind of nerf that would allow some counterplay to it, because honestly there is none unless Camille is purely by herself. I refuse to accept that it should have a revert if it is still the same ultimate. The other nerfs Camille received did absolutely nothing to her play strength except in solo queue, however the ultimate is a HUGE amount of her power budget and can still decide entire games on its own.

Abilities like that really need to be a skillshot if they're to the same power level, because I will gladly tank Camille for the whole duration of her ultimate vs. my squishy ADC and mages who literally only have to be clicked on after she gap closes instantly via Flash/Hook. If she would need help after that then by all means I'd like to hear what she would need.

I would actually be okay with her ult being a skillshot. Though is getting hit by any champs ult pleasant for the vicitm? Not really. There's champs with much more annoying ults in my oppinion (like Yasuo's).

Thinking about it, I can see why Camille's ult can single handedly turn games to her favor; cause it denies people from getting away from her and has its own gap closer while Camille has another gap closer in her kit.

So with the skillshot in mind, I'd like to see the knockback slightly buffed (with no stun) and it stays up for its full duration when she dies. As a skill shot it could maybe use a slightly longer range but I'm not sure on that one.

She's fine. She's balanced for once.
