CertainlyT is the best Champion designer Riot has

Make him the lead designer, every single champion he touches becomes fun.

I don't care if it annoying to deal with.

It's fun for whoever is playing him, that should be all that matters.

If every champ was designed by CertainlyT, this game would be a lot more fun

He is Riots Jesus, no joke.

they just get mad when they lose to his champions because they are noticeable

I agree with the topic, CertainlyT creates unique, and memorable champions, albeit slightly OP at times. I disagree with his reason why, but I do like CertainlyT.

I like certainlyt's champs, it's just that he needs to realize that not every ability needs to have 3 passives attached to it.

fun at the expense of others is not okay as shown in society all the time we have laws and regulation for a reason you cant run rampant just cuz its fun

I would say massacres is some pretty fun shit to homocidal maniacs yo... I guess we shouldnt be ruining his fun

lol

This is video game

Destroying the enemy nexus is also pretty unfun for the enemy team, we should ban people who do that aswell

that mostly depends on how the game went if it's a one way stomp it wasnt exactly the destruction of the nexus that was unfun... it was unfun long before that and blowing up the nexus is more of relief

theres really not much fun in blowing up the nexus, satisfaction yeah.. the games over the fun/ unfun comes from all the amazing things you achieved during the game not dealing with a broken champion like warwick or this case kalista

This is where you and Riot become different. Riot actually cares about what the players go against (Nidalee rework).

One champion of his got perma-banned for what, 5 months? Just because of the insane team-comps that could be made around him and make teamfighting uncounterable. Its hard enough to balance the game around the champions he makes occasionally (which are great, but unfun nonetheless), we don't need Teemo/Tryndamere with more passives. Plus, I like the champions without dashes/flashy plays, something Riot seems to have forgotten a long time ago. Not every champion needs to be made into a mix of everything. Some UP ones could use CertainlyT's touch, but there are champions that do not need any 'tweaks' to then get banned for ages.

Dude

Out of everyone CT designed, Yasuo was probably one of who held the permaban status for the shortest

I mean

Just look at Zyra and her release state. And then Darius who was permabanned by a whole fucking lot of people until they removed the resets from his Guillotine.

Like, Nidalee got reworked because she was a major threat who could get objectives by Q spamming without any risk whatsoever.

Yasuo was nerfed because he shat on mages.

Honestly, I think his champs are great, but probably not for League.

I bet CertainlyT would flourish in a game like Smite, where everyone has overloaded kits. He could just go crazy with it.

CertailyT is a great designer and his champions are alot fun to play, but he often goes a bit to far and his champs end up somewhat broken.

But what u state is simply bad: 'It's fun for whoever is playing him, that should be all that matters.' In a PvE centered game like Diabolo, this is true. LoL however is a PvP game, so the 'playing against' case is just as important as the 'playing as' case.

It's fun to play against Yasuo as a bruiser.

You have a free kill every single level.

It's just not fun to play against him as a mage because you can't hit him for shit.

But that shouldn't be an issue. Just don't pick a fucking mage or incase you do, gets Seekers.

I remember Ahris calling my Yasuo broken because they were trying to go for the DFG Roflcopter against me instead of rushing Seekers and get outright destroyed by my ult after that.

Seriously...

Yasuo does to ranged what ranged does to meele in the top lane. Yet no one cared about them.

bruisers only shit on yasuo since many nerfs. After releas is frequently owned top with him as you could kite down bruisers with your Q, and they didn't seem to have fun.

I complain very often about the poor state of (true)melees, and quite some others care aswell about the sad state of melees that aren't alistar or mao at top...
