Champions that have stood the test of time?

Which champion's kit has stood the test of time the best in your opinion?

My vote goes to Janna. One of the original 40 champs and her kit has survived pretty much untouched this entire time. She's been a viable pick pretty much all the time too

Anivia - the first major change to how her kit works was in the MYMU.

Irelia - the first major change to how her kit works was in 6.11.

Janna - numbers have been adjusted, and her passive has changed. Yet, at the core, she still does the same things she always did.

Morgana - see above.

Jannas passive didnt change, it was just nerfed. Anivias ult was changed it now grows over time. And i think ive heard people say irelias ukt worked differently at release, something like that.

ProfDrDeath5 votes

Well, her passive used to be a lowkey (3%) global speed boost. Now it is a conditional, stronger (8%) one that only works when moving towards Janna. That is a change in the mechanics, not just a nerf.

Irelia's ult was magic damage when she was released. But pretty soon after her release, it was changed to physical damage to make her damage more focused towards physical/flat true damage.

A S1 release and my favorite champion to play.

Most updates to him have been buffs, but his kit has remained mostly the same since his release.

He's remained consistent and has enjoyed a win rate exceeding 50% for years.

He isn't useless, but he does need a rework.

LeeSin seems to often be relevant.

Bonus armor from W removed Attackspeed reduction removed

Yet still played often?

Abyssphere4 votes

The thread isn't supposed to talk about kits that are still good, I think, more designs that are still considered healthy, balanced, etc. The fact that Lee has had multiple mechanics of his kit removed indicates that he's far from perfect.

That said, the OP's example wasn't faultless either. Janna's ult has lost functionality over the years and her passive has too, to a lesser extent. I'm sure there's more I could bring up if I knew her history better, too.

Eh, I wouldn't say 100%. He used to have a different passive a long, long time ago. I think it gave him extra damage vs turrets as well as damage reduction from turrets.

And if you don't remember his kit getting gutted from S2 for jungling. Oh boy.

That being said, he has come out relatively unscathed. Though I think Anivia has always had her core abilities and core mechanics with only slight variations.

well Singed Chogath

have gone almost unchanged for a long time, excluding large sweeping changes to almost all champions. Though they are still solid choices, although singed has been in steady decline because of mobility creep

Kled Hasn't been changed since release!

Dominick Destine3 votes

There has never been a point in time when Morgana was not a decent pick.

Sometimes she was even permaban and was also one of the original 40.

Janna had global MS boost, her R would slow enemies inside it and those knocked back Her Q had the same knockup regardless of charge

Yasuo Aside from the removal of his W passive, he's only seen changes on numbers as far as I remember.

GuiltyGecko1 votes

Yasuo wasn't one of the original 40 champions. I think the point of this thread is to highlight champions in the original 40 that still have their original kits largely intact AND are healthy.

Jeddy0172 votes

The OP never said it specifically had to be one of the original 40. It's about finding champs who been around for a while, who's kit haven't changed much since their release & are as effective today as they were soon after release. They just used Janna as an example of this.

GULAG 4 U2 votes

so yeah better stop hating on anything that isn't anti yasuo, the circlejerk of anti yasuo on the boards is ridiculous, people are like nazis towards yasuo mains here.

Poske2 votes

She received quite a lot of nerfs actually. Ap janna mid got removed from the game

But yeah she is still janna

Yes.

Ult no longer slows. Massive AP Janna nerfs across the board. Passive gutted. Base splash art makes her look like she took a few shovels to the face. gg

I feel like Blitzcrank and Rammus are basically the same since beta and Blitzcrank is still quite popular...

The only change I can think of is Blitz Q used to be a point and click like the old Ryze Q and current Annie Q.
