A list of champions that are unfun to play against?

AquariusGine··2 votes·2,839 views

I wanted to see if I could 'objectively' classify unfun champions.

Based on the complains I've seen over the years, here are some of the most'unfun' champions to play against:

Unfun: Akali Blitzcrank Brand Cassiopeia Chogath Darius Diana DrMundo Ekko Fiora Fizz Galio Gangplank Garen Heimerdinger Illaoi Irelia Jax Jayce Kalista Katarina Kennen Khazix Kled Leblanc Malphite Malzahar MasterYi Pantheon Pyke Qiyana QuinnRenekton Rengar Riven Shaco Sylas Syndra Talon Teemo Tryndamere Vayne Veigar Viktor Vladimir Xerath XinZhao Yasuo Yuumi Zed Zoe

And champions people seldom complain about:

Tolerable: Aatrox Ahri Amumu Alistar BardAnivia Annie Ashe AurelionSol Azir BraumCamille Caitlyn Corki Draven Elise Ezreal EvelynnFiddlesticks Gnar Gragas Graves Hecarim Ivern Janna JarvanIV Jhin Jinx KaisaKassadin Karma Karthus Kayle Kayn Kindred KogMaw LeeSin Leona Lissandra Lucian Lulu LuxMordekaiser Nasus Maokai MissFortune Morgana Nami Nautilus Neeko Nidalee Nocturne Nunu Olaf Orianna Ornn Poppy Rakan Rammus RekSai Rumble Ryze Sejuani Shen Shyvana Singed Sion Sivir Skarner Sona Soraka Swain TahmKench Taliyah Taric ThreshTristana Trundle TwistedFate Twitch Udyr Urgot Varus Velkoz Vi WarwickVolibear MonkeyKing Xayah Yorick Zac Ziggs Zilean Zyra

Don't take the list too seriously, Kleptomancy Lucian top is still awful to face but the bigger matter is that about 1/3 of the champion roster is considered 'unfun' to play against by the boards. So what does this tell us? (I really don't know what this tells me, tell me what you think)

If it's supposed to be champion order, it should be Aatrox right.

If people put that many champions under their list of "unfun" to play against then maybe League isn't the game for you. I understand having your own personal "F*** this" list once you've played the game long enough (This is mine --> Fizz Yasuo Zed ) but if you literally list 1/3rd of the champion list as unfun to play against then you're probably just better off not playing league.

My issue is in most of their newer champions.

I could deal with old Yorrick all day. And that was considered by even riot to be so cancerous that he was never allowed during free rotation.

Meanwhile, I’d rather shit in my hands and clap than deal with. Ahem. Akali, Garen, Pyke, quilanna, irelia, pantheon, mordekaiser or Sylas.

All their new release/new reworks have just been pure un fun aids to deal with.

Ahri, Thresh, and Neeko are definitely champs that are anti-fun. Malphite is only anti-fun if he's playing AP, and Malzahar, Gangplank, Galio, Viktor, and Xerath aren't really anti-fun

As a top laner it will be Teemo, Tryndamere, Neeko, Karma and Ryze. In that order.

Champs that can make a game un fun, but aren't inherently 100% toxic, Kennen, Jayce, Yi, GP and Gnar.

Nunu fool proof algorithm:

Before Lvl 6: Go to lane while (lvl < 6) Hit minions 5 times E enemy top laner every 5 stacks Q whenever you can Zone end while bait top laner and possibly his jungler e some R ??? profit if (skin == nunubot) spam.laugh proceed to steal every dragon/baron for the rest of the game

i would just get two doran rings and spam E the enemy while making sure i had a hyper carry jungler and watch the top laner cry in all chat

Viktor?

I mean, yeah, when Tank Viktor was a thing, sure. But as far as I know, this build is pretty much removed now, isn't it? And I don't see anyone complain about Viktor as long as he doesn't run tank.

To be fair, "unfun to play against" is basically this, "I can't do shit vs this champ cuz of how badly designed they are".

When a champion is overloaded, unfair, and frustrating, how can someone have fun playing against it if skill doesn't even matter since the opponent has the tools to do whatever he wants.

Looks at Yasuo. His windwall's hitbox isn't even correct. Look at Akali. Even after nerfs she is still overloaded and moves faster than a human can react. Look at Zoe. Missing a Q doesn't even matter since she has a built in Lich Bane and can build loch bane to amplify her built in Lich Bane. Look at Zed. Missing half his combo can still land him a kill. Thanks to lethality though. Look at Xerath. His Q poke is easy to predict and dodge. But even though you side step it, IT HITS YOU ANYWAY. Even if you're like 1 Teemo away from its hitbox.

The only good news is that they don't mean auto-win, but shit like this can and will create toxicity. Champion balance is another thing that affects toxicity in the community.

See, based on the comments, some of the tolerable champions should be in unfun?

I remember the days when Yasuo was on my tolerable list...then tanks got nerfed, Conqueror was brought in, and he became worse to handle...
