Period. It's just so toxic.

I think that award belongs to Heimerdinger

Literal cancer of league.

Elisza KitsuneFeb 9, 20161 votes

Yeah but the real cancer his turrets specifically

You must never play against Morgana.

Literally just throws snare and pools. You can't CC her because her shield makes her immune to spell effects as long as they don't break the shield. The only way you'd really catch her is if you had instant CC like Warwick or Malzahar ult.

Zed might be annoying, but he's certainly not as unfun as Morgana.

Morgana is actually pretty ok to fight because her spell shield cooldown is long enough to wait for her to use it then gank her hard. Also stay behind your minions.

I'd add fizz & yasou to that; seriously, who thought it was a good idea to give assassins more safety than tanks?

YumScrumptious96Feb 9, 20162 votes

Yasuo's a fighter, his W is his only real safety, at the point where he is fighting lots his passive isn't gonna do much.

ZT XperimentorFeb 9, 20161 votes

Uh-huh, one of THE most mobile melee champions in the game, with a double critical passive that's ran mid & one of the first to start roaming. His label is unfitting, but doesn't change how much of a chore he is to fight.

YumScrumptious96Feb 9, 20161 votes

His only mobility is from his E, which requires minions to be actually mobile, otherwise its just 150 dmg. He's a fighter who needs to build heavy damage, no AP, can't juggernaut like Yi, can't survive for any amount of time if he's stunned, he has no sustain until he buys his fourth item.

ZT XperimentorFeb 9, 20161 votes

His E can be used on jungle monsters, enemy champions & champion units (such as shaco boxes & heimerdinger's turrets); while it's not used for damage, it still is inflicting some while displacing him out of danger. And of course he needs damage as an assassin; ever seen an AP or tank yasou do well? His bandage is so crippling to his build that only attack damage works. Thanks to the masteries being reworked, he gets sustain on his first back with any critical chance; which he gets double of; warlord's bloodlust heals based on critical damage done scaling up by level. Which means he'll spiral out of control just like yi can with just a couple kills.

Almost like Heim and Shaco are quite rare, or that Shaco and Heim's turrets will damage him quite alot if he dashes. Doesn't take him out of danger when its range is quite small and the distance is fixed. His crit chance lifesteal requires him to get close enough to you, with a two second CD, meaning stun him and he's got nothing to keep him alive. He will not spiral out of control, if he gets to his fourth item he will because he's been fed too much, like any champion. He can be shut down with CC, or just playing safely so he can't get kills. Even so, if you don't play passively then just have the jungler on your side gank twice after his W is down, easy kill. "Assassins more safety than tanks" your words. Yet he can't build health and his safety heavily depends on how long he's willing to risk himself and how lucky he can get. Not much safety there. Play Yasuo for a good bit and tell me how easy it is.

I would say Lux because you have to dodge a lot of skills shots that are on short CD. Zed isn't that hard to deal with and you can buy a QSS that isn't that expensive.

CrossetteFeb 9, 20161 votes

QSS doesn't stop him from dealing a free 300 damage from his tower every 10 seconds.

Flying BuntcakeFeb 9, 20162 votes

I actually don't have a big problem with zed anymore because his weakness is equal poke potential. Example: Kindred ( that I have done) can dodge Zed 's q with their q and hit him with an arrow.

Or have extreme safety: Example: Zilean . Zed knows he cant kill you, so you have free rein to poke him with bombs. Speed up also lets you rush to your tower if he tries to ult you / go in on you.

Idk maybes it just your opinion but personally I think the most toxic are these

Annie Blitzcrank Cassiopeia Chogath Darius Fiora Fizz Galio Katarina Malzahar Leblanc Leona Mordekaiser Nasus Singed Syndra Teemo Tryndamere Urgot Ziggs Vladimir Volibear Xerath Yasuo Yorick Quinn

It's like people get Katarina or Yi on the enemy team and completely forget what the term "CC" means. Or any other assassin, for that matter. (I know Yi isn't technically an assassin, but the counterplay for him is the same.)

Whenever I am playing Ahri, I already knew that I will die a lot. Ahri vs Yasuo

YumScrumptious96Feb 9, 20161 votes

I can outplay Yasuo's majority of the time, most don't know how to properly use E and blow their W really quick or I just poke with my auto's and Q until they have to do something.

Slamurai JackFeb 9, 20161 votes

You misspelled Cho.

StreetonFeb 9, 20161 votes

nah he has lots of counters. Lux is just not nice to play againts

Mecha MaIphiteFeb 9, 20161 votes

Malzahar Braindead, point and click, 1v1 everything, countered by an item that can't be rushed. Your only hope is to pray for your jungler.

Hayaishi2Feb 9, 20161 votes

You're exaggerating, but his laning phase does need a nerf.

DREADN0UGHTFeb 9, 20161 votes

I agree. As much as I love the champ, its just unbarable that the only effective counterplay to his kit as a mage is through using barrier of using spectacular positioning.
