Balance, does not exist no longer.

Awnold··8 votes·1,674 views

Despite the fan base's cry to stop all of these super saiyan champions, Riot still has NOT listened to us, and now League is in a shithole of mobility that will explode into a supernova, and blow the whole internet up. No, but seriously, Balance doesn't exist anymore. Need proof? Any top tier champion all have 1 thing in common, MOBILITY! Yup, yup, yup. Name 1 champion who does NOT have mobility and is used LOTS in LCS, without insane teamfight potential, or anything like that. Only champion who doesn't have mobility that I can think of is Rumble.

Riot, fix your shit. You removed the skill floor of several champions, and made the skill roof fucking 1 centimeter high because every champion is mobile, and does the same thing as the rest. And actually, your diversity? Yeah, this might be the LEAST DIVERSE Season yet. Great job if you wanted this game to be a Vayne and Thresh every game.

Nasus What? Why should we play this guy when we can play Darius who deals loads of damage, and is tanky as hell, and deals even MORE damage? Why play Riven when you can play Fiora . Balance in this game used to exist, but now, well, this game is a trainwreck.

I applaud you for your great work fucking Riot. HF.

Kassadin "Balance above all else." one of the least played champions, last piece of attention he got was a small buff to his ult and the last skin he received was 3+ years ago

Shen "With balanced steps." A very underplayed champ who truly needs a rework.

Zed "Balance is a fool's master." One of the most played midlaners ever, to the point of almost being cancer.

It's obvious that balance is dead and gone.

Why would Shen need a rework, He is currently one of the strongest toplaners.

"Name one immobile champion without insane damage or teamfight potential used in lcs"

I can't name many champs.

Maybe it's because champs without mobility are given insane teamfight potential.

Even then there is KogMaw JannaSkarner Anivia Viktor Braum (very situational dash, I don't count it)Gangplank Lulu and probably 5 more that I'm too lazy to think of.

If you are looking at pure immobile champs without speedbuff or anything, im afraid Taric KogMaw Yorick Chogath Zyra Malzahar and Darius are the only ones that I can think of. Most of those are toxic messes, also kogmaw is still regularly picked. Circle jerks will circle jerk :/

You forgot Alistar , Annie , Ashe , Elise , Jinx , Mordekaiser , Lux , Nautilus , Nunu , Orianna , Pantheon , Ryze , Soraka , Thresh , Trundle , Varus , and Xerath.

morde/Ali/nunu/ori/panth/thresh/naut have speed buffs or gapclosers. I'm talking about the purely immobile champs with nothing whatsoever like Kogmaw.

Why does Riot seem to listen to the boards on G&B less and less? Because the boards are becoming less and less worth listening to. Skarner got released as an OP immortal bulldozer that trampled over everything just because of the players that were "Knowledgeable"

A lot of the juggernaut ridiculousness happened BECAUSE of the players. The juggernauts are too weak, they said. They're gutting the champions they said.

And then once people started playing them, everyone screamed OP.

summoner 6 + Ragnarok. Basically giving him mobility, but he's immune to CC, and basically can't be countered for a period of time.

In that regard all champions are mobile with ghost

Since when league was a balanced game to begin with?

Hm, low mobility and low teamfight is a hard mix, I don't think any champion in the game is like that.

You're lacking statistics if you think this season isn't diverse. This season's competitive scene has played every champion at least once except Nasus and Heimerdinger, here's the list : http://lol.esportspedia.com/wiki/List_of_Most_Recent_Games_By_Champion Mordekaiser is a top tier "marksman" right now, and he has low mobility. Darius has low mobility. Draven has low mobility (he can reset W, but he's short range and no solid escapes, any cc kills him). And the list goes on. No offense, but maybe instead of complaining, try thinking of a way to counter high mobility champions... maybe champions with low skillshots?

DrMundo low mobility, pretty low teamfight he used to be great at teamfights back when he was actually durable QQ

I'm not complaining about countering them, I'm complaining that all Riot releases now is mobility filled champions, or champions that are overpowered as hell with insane burst and unkillable defense, and have crazy speeds of 420 with black cleaver. Yup, Darius or Garen. In the LCS, of course they play every champion, because they are experienced at everything, and all of them are amazing. However, even in Diamond Elo, Darius/Fio/Skarner are instabanned.

Skarner isn't even overpowered anymore. Even the pros agree on Darius being OP but that is the fault of the Boards for whining about him being too weak and the same thing goes for Fiora. Garen is only a problem because of that Villain mechanic that needs to be changed or removed. Mordekaiser was completely Riots fault but hey at least they are trying to experiment even if it was a total abomination.

He requires skill, filter it to Plat+ and you see skarner has a slightly lower winrate than darius.

Not in Daimond+. Skarner has a higher winrate below Daimond because he wrecks low elo.

Annie She doesn't have mobility! Oh wait. Her teamfights. Anivia She doesn't have mobility! Oh wait. Her teamfights. Viktor He doesn't have mobility! Oh wait. His teamfights.

Limitanei1 votes

Annie is ridiculously strong. Putting her in a teamfight = GG

Anivia is a bit of a low popular midlane pick, but she IS strong in teamfights.

Viktor? Not as rage-inducing as he used to be, but can be a major pain in the ass if not taken care of quickly in the earlygame. In a 1v1, he might win depending on the other player, but things can go sour quickly if it's a 2v1+

Balance hasnt existed since about last year october

the champions with all the mobility have the most damage along with tons of cc or speed boosts or dashes you have to cactch these guys aproximately 4 times before you unload a little damage on them and they are gone again or kill you because their spells are back not to mention they have larger mana pool and mana regen than tanks despite not having any mana in their build path
