NERF CAMILLE

Radiant Wukong·Dec 11, 2016·11 votes·5,168 views

She's broken in early laning phase.

P - allows free engage without taking damage in return Q - Hard hitting attack that gives movement speed, then can be recast for double damage or true damage W - has bonus max health damage (because true damage isn't enough already), heals for every enemy hit E - super freaking mobility on par with that puts to shame. Securing kills and escaping at will.

Then she gets her freaking ULT!!!

R - untargetable for a second before trapping you! Even if you get her health low, you probably shouldn't dive her under a tower at low level because after you kill her, you won't even be able to away. (somehow, I think this is what J4's ult was meant to be).

Currently the only nerfs I think she needs is for her e to have a static cooldown instead of getting a lower cooldown per level. Max rank it sticks at 6 seconds with CDR items. Many of which are core on her. The other major nerf I think she needs is her q should not increase her tower damage. She shreds towers faster than old fiora, old rengar and xin zhao combined.

I personally think her w deals pretty marginal damage, and rewards good positioning. its damage isnt anything absurd, but the slow is insane. Maybe make the slow scale up instead of being a flat 90%. Thats if we REALLY want to nerf her. Though the ability in general is balanced since you cant actually attack while its lining up.

The passive admittedly is pretty brutal in laning. However, it has a moderately long cooldown. As people play against it im sure they will learn its cooldown and play against it. It sorta averages itself out come teamfight phase due to teams mixed damage. I think the passive is fine. Vi essentially has the same passive but better.

There are dozens of champions that you shouldnt dive because of their ultimate. Trundle, tryndamere, J4, vi, vlad. The list continues. This ult is fine from my perspective since the enemies can just walk back into it. It has massive playmaking potencial because of the fact that she goes untargetable when the cast begins. Ive dueled a number of champions and managed to dodge garen ult, Darius ult, Riven ult, stacked Nasus q's. This ult has so much potencial outside of the core of its ability.

Her q already got nerfed, but it wasnt heavily impacting since she was meant to be an assassin bruiser. If we REALLY want to nerf this ability, make it so the true damage deals reduced damage to jungle creeps. Having an 800 hp smite late game on a 3 second cooldown can really shred barons, as well as make objectives have much more pressure.

Is she balanced? Kinda not really. But I dont think shes insanely busted or needs to be gutted. I feel she will become one of those champions with a bad reputation since she has a pretty unhealthy kit much like zed yasuo and riven. This review was brought to you by someone who is playing a ton of the new champion and absolutely loves her. Please riot, make sure if you do nerf her dont do that thing you do where you gut every single ability that isnt the problem, before finally actually nerfing the problem. Happy holidays :)

"since she was meant to be an assassin bruiser"

Why the fuck are assassin bruisers are a thing?

she is balanced, you can disengage to escape the true damage on the q if you are close to her the w wont heal and e has a decent cd so if the uses to starta fight she can't escape with it, the ult has some really cool parts but has great counter play like knocking her out of it. The damage scaling isn't to high and as of now you can trick her passive

I'll hit you 10 times out of 10 with the true damage. The only people who'll miss it are people who combo horribly.

P ready > E (you're stunned) > Q > AA (shield is up, free trade unless you have massive damage) > Q (true damage dealt becaue she's walking beside you) > retreat > W after she's in a safe spot to regain any health you may have done.

P ready > W (you're slowed) > proc Q while walking up > AA (shield is active, so she'll stick) > Q (true damage)

The latter combo is the one I'll be using since it let's me save my E.

This is also a champion that I am very like to full CD reduction while using my lethality rune page.

For the ult part, if she dies or leaves the field then it vanishes early.

MatthewRT2Dec 11, 20166 votes

if she dies inside of it it does't end, watch the champ spotlight

TheLastShadow45Dec 12, 20162 votes

odd, cause that happened all the time to me on the PBE.

Even with that she isn't broken.

Yeah her shield is too big. Free dive onto the back line where she just traps a carry and you can't fight back because league of tanks make her op when she gets enough tank items along with her shield

HolakuDec 16, 20161 votes

go watch the champion spotlight... her shield only covers one type at a time and shes rather squishy if you build her damage.

Honestly my biggest problem with her is that sure, she falls off a bit if she doesn't get fed or farm up. She has insanely high 1v1 damage. This isn't just me complaining because " NEW CHAMP QQ OP OP PL0X NERF". I can see giving her some true damage (we have irelia, fiora, olaf that have true damage). my problem is that her 100% of the damage dealt = true damage is on a three second cooldown and will hit me for upwards of 750 true damage. This may not seem that bad, but when you couple it with the fact that she's going to be getting movespeed from the trinity force she is going to build. She sticks on to you better than pretty much anyone else. Think you can get away? Riot thought of that by giving her a gap closer with hard cc and an ult you can't get out of. They need to do something about either this insane amount of true damage she is getting from her q (maybe not 100% true damage hur dur or put a longer cooldown on the true damage portion) or they need to put a longer static cooldown on her e. Her w and ult aren't huge problems and reward good positioning.

Well, the cooldown of the q ability is 3 seconds but I believe only the second cast applies the true damage. On top of this, although the second cast can be used anytime after the first, it only does true damage if it hits at least 1.5 seconds AFTER the first cast damage is used. This does force the player to think because I have seen camilles just absolutely screw up the q and use the second cast too early. That being said, the combination of her e AND ult to catch squishies is a little bit absurd.

please nerf the stun and the slow there's no way to escape while all her dmg is true damage, the bitch did 799 true damage to me in under 2 seconds

HolakuDec 16, 20161 votes

if thats true youre facing a full ad camille this means she is squishy .. vayne does more damage in 2 seconds yasuo does more damage in 2 seconds, why is SHE broken?and lol if you build caille crit her auto does 900+ im not even kidding.
