Unpopular opinion-infinite scaling champs are toxic

Cloud273·Sep 15, 2018·4 votes·1,012 views

I think it's cool to have scaling champs like veigar, sion, etc, but the fact that there's no limit to their scaling is just dumb. It's not fun having veigar trap you in his cage (he doesn't even need to land the stun, all he has to do is trap you) and one shot you with his ult, and it's not fun to fight a Sion with 5000 health in a 30 minute game. Nasus I'll make an exception for since he doesn't just get free stats all game (ONLY his 'q' gets stronger) There should be a cap to how much they can scale.

Which is why their base stats are low, to compensate for their poor scaling. A 0/12/2 Veigar with 90cs at 30 minutes is near useless so you abuse their weak early game and win before they can reach that point of no return. Same with Nasus and why you try to end games before 35 minutes.

Except they're not weak early. Veigar just puts up his cage every time you go near him and you can't touch him at all, and Sion's shield makes him very hard to kill early.

Which is why Veigar's rank 1 cage has a wind up with an 18 second cooldown and Sion's shield has an 11 second cool down at all ranks. It gives them defensive options to help them get to late game without making them completely unstoppable early.

But snowballing bully champions are okay? By the time those infinite scalers have ramped up, you can afford countermeasures; but those early game centric champions deny you the ability to farm up for countermeasures keeping you behind, which by the time you can the game is over.
