Champions you just can't respect?

The Whamboozler··7 votes·1,552 views

Does anyone else have these? They could be 20/0 or just have taken 4 towers single-handedly and you just can't give them any respect. Maybe the champ's playstyle feels REALLY cheap and cheesy to you. Maybe you feel they're so OP that you can't give them props for doing well. Maybe you jsut feel the champions is so easy that you can't say them doing well involved any skill. Maybe you just hate them.

For me, I can't give any respect to point and click splitpushers. Champs like Tryndamere especially... who really does NOTHING else in most games but splitpush all day and cheese-kill you with his ult if you try and stop him. He never feels like he "outplayed" you if he's doing well, more like your team just wasn't prepared to deal with his brand of 100% sharp cheddar. Honorable mentions for me are Aatrox , Singed, and Udyr. OP, UP or neither they all play a very lame game of splitpushing and being obnoxious all game... and I can't really give props for that.

Lately I'm also pretty annoyed at all the walking piles of stats that are running around. Champs like Udyr AGAIN, Akali, DrMundo, Fiora, Garen, Nautilus, Trundle, TahmKench, and XinZhao. These guys are mostly very simple and reduce the game to stat checks. Some more than others. Most of them just come in on you and your options are to pop an escape and give up whatever you were trying to fight over... or fight them and hope you beat them in raw stats. Since these guys tend to be massive stat piles without complicated abilities or skills they can mess up, fighting them is suicide unless you TOO are playing a massive tanky stat-pile as well... and even in that case "outplaying" isn't really a thing that happens, the one who's more fed or is more OP wins.

What champs do you guys just not respect in-game? And why? I'm curious if anyone else shares my distaste for the same champs.

I actually respect a good Fiora player, provided they aren't toxic or anything. She's obnoxious to face, but it does take some skill to master her.

One champ I can never respect is Irelia, whether she's strong or not.

Perhaps he thinks you literally had sex with Irelia? Does that count as necrophilia?

These are the champions that I can't respect. Not all of these are me thinking they're OP (though some are) but another part is just because their kit is just to overloaded, or just to simple that anyone can play them well etc.

When I'm playing Sion, and I get killed by the following in random scenarios:

Leblanc : Lol, git rekt! Sion : I'm sorry you require a champion that needs a dash & double point & click bursts.


Fizz : Lol, u so noob! Sion : I'm sorry you require a champion with an ability that removes you from the game for no reason.


Ekko : Lol, git gud son! Sion : I'm sorry that you require a champion that fixes all of your mistakes, say I managed to almost kill you like 10 times in a row.


Vayne : Lol, do u even Sion? Sion : I'm sorry you require a champion that wins lane in terms of range & bullying power, since you suck so much as ADC Bot til you crawled to top lane with me instead.

Tbh I actually don't respect Sion, he can do fuck tons of damage with just one damage item. It just annoys me

He has to actually land those abilities. Which are very easy to dodge.

Yesssss! Let the hate flow through you!

I wanted to give an honorable mention to Fizz and Yasuo just for them irritating the living HELL out of me.

Fizz Lux Rengar LeeSin Zed I don't care UP or OP they might, how much skill a couple of them take, you're a dirty scumbag. On another note, I can't really bring myself to hate simple stat check champions, they exist solely to help players with at best subpar mechanical skill get by in the game using whatever little game knowledge they have, basically me at one point. Though, maybe DrMundo Irelia XinZhao, they should die in a fire.

It's just hard to respect them even if they're the sole hard carry in the game. These champions are just so simplistic and / or annoying that it's hard to respect them even when they're carrying while in a weak and under tuned state.

There are only about 3 maybe 4 reasons to pick any of these champions. The first reason being you don't have the mechanical skill to pull anything more complicated off and want to focus on learning just strategy / the basics of the game. The second reason being you just want something that takes a low amount of concentration and effort to farm out wins. The third reason being you just enjoy trolling with the kit (Teemo, Heimer, Fizz especially). And the final possible reason being one of the picks just became fotm and is overtuned and you just want to ride the freelo train while it's available.

in a competitive environment 3 of the 4 reasons are valid. Picking something just to troll with it's kit is just being a dick. All the other reasons are perfectly valid. However, don't expect to gain recognition for anything you do while picking these champions for one of those reasons.

I play Udyr and Mal'zahar a lot solely because they're brain dead easy to use kit wise and have good results. There is nothing really respectful about the kits mechanically. It's just literal game sense (Being in the right place at the right time). I only play these champions to farm out games without having to exert as much effort. I could be playing Lee Sin, Zed, Riven, and Azir and potentially getting close to the same results (Lee / Riven not as likely as Zed + Azir.. But I've got a lot more practice / history on Zed and Azir). However, it would take more effort. Being lazy isn't a respectful trait. It is a efficient trait.

Edit: When you realize the second block of text was literally the opening lines of 3 more paragraphs it gets even more hilarious.. College English classes were a curse when it comes to writing any kind of short simplistic post.

There's a fifth reason that applies to Yi only, dodging any hard CC with your q and then proceeding to kill people is just amazing.

Your so called fifth reason falls under the third reason.

i've played fizz. many times. i bought him because i thought his kit looked fun.

Most of such players don't even care they have a team anyways, and then wonders why they are losing. Good times.

But again, since Lulu support is the only things I play...

Heimerdinger.

I always enjoy being forced to my turret from the instant minions show up, and getting half healthed by rockets that instaproc Thunderlords, and facing a champion that doesn't even have to hit the minions to farm well, facing a champion that is practically ungankable, turrets that auto target me if I get in their range, even if they are attacking something else and continue to fire even when you finally kill him, so much that it often goes even for a 1 for 1 trade.

F those turrets. You want a toxic and brain dead champion, Heimerdinger's your pick.

Blitzcrank You can be garbage the whole game, but as long as you hit 1 money hook that's all that matters.

Rengar Zero counter play and 1-shots everything that's not a tank.

Udyr Bear stance and never ever get caught. Looking grim? KEEP PRESSING Q THEY'LL NEVER CATCH YOU IN TIME!

Heimerdinger Knock knock who's there? Oh! Cancer! THANK GOD! I thought it was heimerdinger, come right in buddy!

Riven Because 90% of her playerbase are unlikable douchebags.

Vayne Ya know what? Same for this champ too.

MasterYi The way he skilllessly a-moves to victory triggers me, and reminds me of protoss in starcraft 2. shivers [zombie-nunu-tears]

Veigar because his kit sways the fight SO heavily in his favor vs AP champs. and by his kit i mean his ult.... i will always hate this champ. if i could removed one champ from the game forever he would be my choice. Bard i know he's not bad, but i can just never take him seriously. idk if it's because of the state he was released in or just the way he looks, but i can't make myself not see him as a troll champ lol
