Remembrance of those Great Champions who once lived!
Without realizing it, LOL has rifted into many of our lives during the last four years. Despite good and bad times, I think its important to remember those once GREAT heroes who has fallen
Following are some of riot's greatest nerfs (not in any particular order, just the order i can recall them in)
#1. Mordekaiser
Do you remember those good ole times when jungler would flame and shout because you can clear his jungle better than him? 200 cs easily in 20 minutes? Those good times when you can out gear the enemy just by csing like a pro?
Sadly the once fearsome Master of Metal is more like Master of soft and pliable plastic nowdays
#2. Kayle
History will remember Kayle as one of the best late game champion who can easily solo penta a squishy team.
Her ult was nerfed from 7sec to 5, then 5 to 3, her passive was nerfed, ap ratio on her Q was nerfed from 1.0 to 0.6, Heal nerfed, and E passive was also nerfed.
Sadly the Kayle and Twitch combo in S4 championship makes me wonder if theres another nerf coming her way
#3. Zac
One of Riot's most popular new champion release, made it into the big league almost immediately after release.
Now sadly a champion never to be seen in rank again, his jungle ability was shattered after the nerf to his damage.
The nerf to his passive, abilities, and pure damage output made him into one of our favorite top lane ATM.
#4. Diana
While i might have agreed with the damage nerf and shield nerf, the nerf on her Q's range was too much.
I mean. i can probably see Diana appear once every 30 games in rank nowdays.
well..at least Leona is happy :D
#5. Gragas
One of the most popular mid carrying god, gragas was reworked until he died.
Even after he became a viable top laner, Riot nerfed him again
#6. Olaf
RIOT! Just because Voidboy is a godly Olaf, does not mean the rest of us can play him just as well.
Also his kit makes him just purely unviable in today's competitive scene where no cc means no game.
#7. Shen
I will admit, Riot never took a hard axe to Shen, sadly the once dominate Ninja god has a kit that is just unsuited for today's fast pace game.
Frankly the cd on his taunt and ult is just a little too much for S4.
#8. Kennen
One of my first champ to get a penta. Kennen was a favorite of many summoners. Sadly Riot's dislike of the head of the Ninja clan resulted in the downfall of the Head Ninja.
#9. Vladmir
While he is still viable, I wonder if anyone still remember the days when he can hit 1000 ap by just building defense. Also, in today's all cc game, the only buff he got was that he can use summoner skill while using W.
#10. Leblanc, Kassadin, Talon
Im putting these 3 together not because of their many nerfs, but because i think riot is trying to do away with the whole silence aspect of the game.
Honestly... Talon did not deserve that nerf
I think ppl would be ok if there was a greater damage nerf instead of a skill kit nerf
#11. Irelia
21 nerfs! Nuff said
also with her rise in S4....im expecting nerf 22 anyday now.
Honestly i do not think Irelia would have ever gotten a nerf if Wicked did not just roll over ppl using her. Once again, a godly player should not mean a nerf to a good champion. (or we can just start nerfing everything Faker get his hands on..oh wait..we did nerf everything faker liked to play)
Faker too OP, better nerf Irelia!, and riven, and leblanc, and....every mid champion?
#12. Aatrox
Passive nerfed
W damage and regen nerfed
E damage nerfed
Ult Health boost gone
#13. Khazix
Does anyone still play him? I just play rengar nowdays~ :P
I think many ppl were upset that Kha cant use q while in midair
Honestly i did not expect the W nerf
#14. Jax
For many new players, maybe this seems like a big stretch to say he's not playable, I sometimes still use Jax to dominate noobies
But for those who remember Jax rework (especially the second one) He used to be able to penta while using one hand to eat.
#15. Master Yi. Tryndamere
I dont know anyone who played AP yi and trynd and not have fun~
Give me back my Easy Penta AP Yi and my OMG He healed how much?! trynd!!!!
#16. Ashe
I had considered whether i should put Ashe here since she was never really nerfed (actually buffed)
But even though i can still pull Ashe out here and there, her lack of an escape skill means she will never get into the big league where assasins can easily kill her.
While this post is meant for fun and procrastination from my midterm tomorrow. I honestly hope Riot considers bringing back some of those awesome champions..because lets face it..azir and gnar...sigh
