Excluding those champions who do not have true ultimates,

Which champion has the worst ult in the game? Question prompted on seeing yet another nerf to Sivir's ult, which honestly is the most lackluster thing about her kit since 2-3 nerfs ago.

I really can't think of another ultimate that is so underpowered+low utility. Maybe Aatrox?

Honestly I hate Shyvana's ultimate . Press R to jump in like most champions can do without using an ultimate. That is unless the enemy team has CC in which case you just sit there. Yeah you do a little bit of damage, get slightly tankier, and a little easily-avoided CC. But the trade off is an ultimate that CDR doesn't apply to, scales on AP that you don't build, and doesn't CD while you are dead since you can't gain rage/fury. All in all pretty weak compared to most top/jung ultimates.

I Disagree, while the knock back is lack luster (I would prefer it be removed and her tankyness improved more) the Damage dash and boosted abilities are awesomely helpful,

Would be awesome if her ulti made her do a flame explosion/knockback that damaged all people around her and she appears as the dragon after that.

You also lose dps in a 1v1 since Q becomes AoE and loses the double hit

No you don't it still hits twice,

So a few statik shiv procs?

You say that like it's nothing, but it actually does a crap-ton of damage in a team fight

It does way more than shiv and you get a LOT of them. Voli wrecks teamfights with it.

What? Ignoring the lightning attacks. I personally think his lightning attacks should become a passive (slightly weaker) and make it get a powerful active that disables the passive.

2000boxes2 votes

it's on a timer not a counter so his w synergizes really well with it.

Hinro Honato2 votes

Uh You've never seen an attack speed ability power volibear before have you? You're going to die to it. Even without ap it does a lot of damage. 155 damage per hit at level three and hits four people for 12 seconds. With how tanky you get with voli no matter what you build you're going to get off quite a few hits and it's pretty damaging.

LankPants1 votes

I'd say it's fairly up there. IMO Sivir and Ashe's ults are fairly close.

I downvoted you not because I disagree with you, I just can't stand your name.

Hard4Hamsters2 votes

Quinn kinda just the execute damage. Turning into a bird is nice for the MS and AS, but because you lose your passive, you become a melee champion, you share CD's with your ranged form, and the execute damage is less than an auto attack after the mid game, it's kinda a meh ultimate.

Lugg1 votes

Riot could make this ult SO good. They need to up the execute damage, it's a complete joke. Plus she should get bonus armor and MR since she is a melee champ during the duration. If they did that, she would be a great champ.

Hard4Hamsters1 votes

I got downvoted? lol. Damn. She wouldn't even need armor and MR, the execute damage just needs to be meaningful and it would be a great ult. She's not bad right now at all, she's a great solo lane assassin. She has a really strong early game and can zone out a lot of champs in the laning phase. Her roam potential is pretty good, and her burst damage is respectable with her harrier procs. I actually think she's a really good champion but her ult damage is just meh.

Lugg1 votes

Well I didn't downvote you lol.

Her problem is that she counterpicks some champs hard, but gets counterpicked hard as well. She has the range and mobility advantage top, but she doesn't have sustain. Her AA range is to short to lane against some ADCs bot. It puts her in a weird place.

Hard4Hamsters2 votes

Yep. She's kinda held back in one area because she is good in another. She's a good solo laner but a sub-par duo laner and it kinda gimps her in a way. She's also pretty good mid btw. Take ignite and get a flash or a kill at level 1 or 2 against a squishy midlaner. I've even taken her jungle to some success, though with the recent changes to the jungle soft leash, it got a little more difficult.

Lugg2 votes

MissFortune her ult is so underpowered for something that roots her in place for the duration. Nunu ult is ridiculously easy to get out of and interupt. Pantheon also so easy to get out of and doesn't do much damage as well. Quinn possibly the worst in the game. Only thing good about it is the mobility. Trundle good idea, but underpowered IMHO. Urgot VERY situational for an ult. Varus hard to hit with it, and when you do, it's pretty meh. Yorick can be useful if your teammates know how to work with it, but not that useful anyway.

Hinro Honato1 votes

With some ap nunu's ult is devistating. Even more so when used from a bush. trundle eats tanks alive with his ult and becomes really hard to kill and nearly unbeatable in a 1v1. As much as I hate him yorick's ult has it's uses. Ult a cass and be the unicorn. quinn's ult gives her some insane fucking damage. That bird is horrifying. Just my experience with her chasing me. urgot's ult can win a teamfight right from the start of the fight and makes ganking easy peasy. It's nowhere near meta or even really useful but ap pantheon's ult is just fun. No one expects the damage it can do. but yeah not very useful. Varus' can be incredibly useful and has crazy damage when going ap which works for varus given his possibly massive %damage. If you can get stacks anyhow. Even when you're going ad it's a long enough root to pick off someone in a 1v1 or 2v1.

Now for one that always seems to screw everything up when someone on your team uses it. Bard's ult. It always seems to screw you over. every time x.x

Lugg1 votes

I agree Nunu's ult is devastating, IF you land a full channel. Which seems to be about 3% of the time. I have been playing Trundle a lot lately, and his ult doesn't help much at all against a lot of champions. Quinn's ult doesn't do hardly any damage at all. It is the lowest damage execute in the game. Her auto attacks do as much damage. Varus ult is the most missed ability in the game. Plus it's super easy to avoid having it chain to your team. At least Riot could make it easier to land. Bard ult is both game winning and awful, depending on how good the player is.

Hinro Honato1 votes

Well how are you building trundle? I tend to go botrk on him and it does wonders. He can be kited but you have a chance. I really don't know about full tank trundle.

Never played quinn and I don't know her numbers, I just know that she is one of the few champs that scare the hell out of me when she gets two items.

I do agree that varus ult is harder to hit than it should be but when it does hit, it can do wonders.

Junsui Aoi1 votes

I 100% agree with MFs. Ever since they changed the scaling to not scale with, you know, AD (spoiler: that's what she builds), it's been completely awful.

LankPants2 votes

Taric , Both visually unappealing and almost worthless.

DrCyanide2 votes

Urgot

It's so extremely situational that there are LCS games where he never uses his ult once. Combine that with how easily it is prevented from doing the swap (any stun or root on Urgot will stop it if I recall right), it's quite possibly the worst ultimate in the game.

Byakuya Kuchiki1 votes

Aatrox Evelynn Gangplank Irelia Jax Sivir Singed Taric Twitch Volibear XinZhao are all either lackluster i dont know what is(xin and eve) or flat out boring

YossarianSensei4 votes

Wut

Some of those are pretty good ults lol

Hinro Honato2 votes

Old gp ult I would agree. It was useless as hell but with the changes it's pretty decent now. volibear is devastating. singed ult fits his kit perfect and makes him perfect for quite honestly his main use. proxy farming lanes and being able to get away. A bundle of stats and a fair bit of regen on both health and mana. taric's ult is insanely lackluster. No real way around that one. but really he doesn't even need it. He just facetanks everything forever. Twitch's ult is a game winner if you get a good angle on it. You may die using it but you will get a lot of damage down.

terkmc2 votes

Aatroxx-fair enough Evelynn-without this she dies in 0.5 seconds GP-wut? Sit in lane and bring cc, damage and sweet assist gold to the other side of the map Irelia-Visually not exciting but good god the sheen proc Jax- thunk thunk CRUNCH is super sastisfying, and the def buff is nothing to sneeze at Sivir - You know those guys that are gated by poor mobility? They have it now Singed - Raid boss activated Taric - fair enough Twitch - this is what makes Twitch the hardest carry in the game, wut you smokin son? Volibear - that damage adds up quick, trust me Xin Zhao - He just push off 4 people with a swing of his spear, and gain extra armor and mr from excess testosterone.

ProfDrDeath1 votes

Irelia :

Only thing that one lacks is visual satisfaction. Other than that, though...

320/480/640 base + 2.0 AP + 2.4 bonus AD

The base damage is actually on the rather high side, as far as ultimates are concerned, and the scaling is among the best in the game, numerically.

It is just that most Irelias don't build in a way that abuses the ults high scaling. And even then, it gives her possibly four Sheen procs on a champion for whom Sheen is one of the core items.

Ummmm dafuq Aatrox is pretty good early to mid game before you get alot of aa speed

Maximum Zilean1 votes

Rammus by far for me, its damage is very low, and doesn't even match his kit of "like it or not, hit me" Everything else about his kit is fine. Just his ult is out of place, and really lacking.

Its just minor AoE damage. Thats it.

His is one of the highest potential damage ults in the game. Fairly comparable to Fiddlesticks , just over 8 seconds rather than 5.

what you smoking? rams ult is super strong . specially if go ap

Lugg2 votes

His ult does good damage over the duration and affects towers and structures. It is definitely good.

Hinro Honato1 votes

Yeah gotta go with these other fine people. Rammus' ult can be devastating. I prefer taking him with some ap or full ap if it's aram or something but the damage gets up there quick.

WalkingInACircle1 votes

Easily Xerath . You can't even use it in a straight fight, and it's probably going to get dodged anyway

are all either lackluster i dont know what is(xin and eve) or flat out boring

Xin has an AoE knockback/disable. Its not bad at all. Xin is really an amazing champion.

Who, according to you, does not have a "true" ultimate?

I think the only one that could really be argued as not a true ultimate would be Udyr's R.

The shape-shifting ultimates allow champs to access 3 other spells with cooldowns separated from those in their other forms.

Anyway, as to which ultimate is the weakest/most lackluster, I'd vote for Aatrox.

DorkunedAuras1 votes

I think true ult means an ability, not just a form shift

insaiyanbacca2 votes

ults that arent true are basically udyr karma and the form shifters

JustMyBassCannon1 votes

Karma's ult is definitely a real ultimate. Just because she has to combo it with a basic spell doesn't make it less of an ultimate.

She gets her choice of an AoE 785 +150% AP nuke with a 50% slow, a 3+second snare that heals her for a minimum 40% of her missing HP, or a team shield + mini Sivir ult.

All of those are worthy of being called ultimates.

As for the form shifting ultimates, I can see why people wouldn't consider them ultimates, because they themselves do very little. But I wouldn't rank them as weak ultimates if people did count them, because they unlock the other half of the champion's kit.

Aatrox's ultimate is still the most disappointing.

7ha7guy7771 votes

TwistedFate situationally it can be really useful but it seems like a one point wonder to me. Nocturne's does damage and removes enemy vision. Shen's shields an ally. Panth's does damage. TF reveals enemies then telegraphs where he's going to pop up. A smart enemy could easily cc him right as he appears resulting in an easy kill

RisenDarkKnight1 votes

To me it's taric's ult. It's range is extremely short for a champ with no gap closer and the damage is mediocre even if you land it. It also gives a small ap/ad steroid to you and your allies but it's barely noticeable especially since your kit scales with max health and armor and you will nearly always cast e before ult to keep the target close enough for you to ult

Saianna1 votes

Except Sivir Hmmm..

I always believed that champion ultimates like Jinx, Draaaa~~ven & Ez are totall BS compared to Ashe.

Both Draven and Jinx are AD and their ultimate scalles of AD Ez can be both AP and AD. His ultimate scales of both.

Ashe? AP only.

OK OK OK i know Ashe has longest stun, but imo she should deal AD damage. Lower it, but make it AD.

Evelynn's R. Not that it's bad/terrible ultimate. It's just pure-TANK ultimate. She's supposed to be an assassin.

Singed.. Uh it's also good ultimate, but considering how simple this champion is, it's actually kinda sad. Press R, turn on poison, fling & run away
