Champions you feel unfair to play against. (1v1)

So let's talk about the champs you feel are way too broken and barely have any counterplay. It doesn't matter if the champion might stand no chance in teamfights. Just tell the champ which makes your laning phase miserable.

For me, it gotta be:

Annie: "Have you seen my bear Tibbers?"

The fact that she can always keep her stun available before going in on enemy is frustrating. And her stuns lasts longer than my life.

She can always Flash R, to destroy her whole enemy team. Those who don't die gets stunned for high duration anyway.

Items like item 3027 item 3116 item 3152 gives her too much HP anyway, so she cannot get one shotted but will one shot you as soon as you are in range.

Yes you can always build QSS to remove the stun, but good luck QSS'ing that 13871893798 damage she makes with just 2 abilities anyway.

===================================

And 2nd One would be:

Illaoi: "This ends one of two ways - they run, or I break them."

Yes, I know her Winrate isn't high. Yes, she can be kited.

But, it won't change the fact that she is too bothersome to lane against.

As a Melee champion, throughout laning phase you have 2 choices.

  1. Stay Behind your minions and lose some (if not many) CS.
  2. "Altak, kaye-sayu. Altak kaye-sayu. Altak kaye-sayu.": The test of your spirit.... or in simple words take free damage while all Illaoi need to do is hit an immobile spirit of your champ. Ok, you ran out of the radius to avoid further damage? Great. Now play this minigame of avoiding the spawning tentacles near you for next few seconds. Oh it's finally over? Well, she got her "E" back. Here we go again.

Even without her tentacles, her damage isn't low earlygame. One of her Q will make your soul tremble.

And when your jungle finally ganks your lane, she is level 6 and she gets free double instead. (Who needs gank when you got Nagakabouros on your side, bruh.)

===================================

So what are the champs you hate to face in your lane? #inb4 YasuoYasuoYasuoYasuo. [slayer-pantheon-popcorn]

Tryndamere Gets a few lucky crits early, lane lost. And even if he loses lane he just stays top and is a pain in the ass lol. + he can use his ult even in cc... which.. I.. why? Good thing I almost never see him.

And Akali because you killed her 4 times already? Well, she just went bot with item 3145 item 3144, got a double, came back to lane with item 3146 and... youre oneshot... And you lost. feelsbadman

Id also say Cassiopeia but at least she is oom after being hell at level 1 and 2.

Riven Disgusting utility where building straight damage into this mobile/CC betch leads to survival and assassin like damage.

Yasuo CertainlyT's wet dream. All he needs is normal crits and sustainability, and he'd be a second Lee Sin (in terms of too much utility) with 100% crit.

LeeSin Disgusting overloaded champion that will stay in the same state he is, otherwise the pros will throw a betch fit.

I know it's cliche, but fuck Yasuo . The ridiculous number of dashes he can do to chase you and dodge all your skillshots, windwall to invalidate your ult (and maybe your whole kit depeding on the champ) on a basic ability, windwall to deny CS/hitting his tower, the shield so you can't poke him out of lane that resets when he ults, and dat super early 100% crit. Oh also the fact that he can zone for a long time with the 3rd Q up and he can ult super easily from a teammate's displacement/knockup.

Oh and the fact that he's manaless and can push you under tower pretty easily and is really good for CSing.

Like I have a lot of champs that I can play to counter him, and he's generally somewhat easy to deal with in teamfights (unless the enemy team has a Malphite or something), but Yas just annoys the shit out of me. Like even when he's like 0/5/0 and way out of position it feels like you are fighting a raid boss to take him down because he's dashing all over the place, windwalling your CC, and knocking you up before you kill him. Especially if he has frozen mallet.

I guess the worst thing about him IMO, is that he can just hold his windwall until he sees an important ability and champions that are reliant on projectile ults (like Sejuani) can't do anything unless he's dead, stunned, or wastes it on something else.

Azir Riven Ahri LeeSin Zed Yasuo Syndra Kalista Darius Ekko Fiora adcs ^ champions balanced around how they play with no regard for how it feels to play against them Fiora Vayne Max hp true damage item 3113
item 3086 constant movement speed with no condition on ranged champions. sure lets sure up their one weakness of being ranged and need to catch them by makeing them even harder to catch and easy get away if you dont instagib them(which we are removeing because the champions who dont build defenses were complaining) or use 3 hard cc on them in addition to damage they can just walk away

Chamuel8510/27/2016, 3:15:50 PM3 votes

I don't like laning against Zed, but as for Illaoi, you can fight her while she has your spirit there and it'll reduce the amount of time she has to kill it to make you a vessel, and if she's using abilities on it and not you, she's basically wasting damage since her abilities will then do like... 25-40% damage and I don't think she can AA it fast enough early to proc it. I think the thing to avoid is getting hit with her abilities along with your spirit.

ur bad if Darius is hard to fight in lane

I had to fight tank karma top once, probably the worst experience I ever had

Annie Pokes you, can farm early with Q like no other and late game bursts you

Jayce He denies everything. E-Q has huge range on ranged form, while if you play an engage tank he just plays melee form and then bursts you.

Tryndamere Tryndamere. Have advantage on him early game unless he hist lucky crits , he will split push and then late game he will crit you and it's guaranteed he wins 1 v 1 with ult up late game

Fiora Farm early, try to duel her late game. W, tons of mobility and slow/crits.

Even if you stomp them in lane they will just stay there and spilt all game

Nasus most of all because I always feel bad when I roam because I'm giving him free farm and he'll just get bigger and bigger

As someone who loves outplay champs this guy is the worst. I am not even kiddin you could train a bonobo to play him. Press R before fight, Q to start fight, W to not die, E to deal more damage. Most binary, generic gameplay ever. Absolutely no way to beat him if he's ahead unless you have some serious CC. Shreds tanks. Needs a rework badly.

it be lìke that10/27/2016, 5:45:55 PM2 votes

no champ is "unfair to fight 1v1" accept that some champs counter/do better into others. Everyone complains about matchups, but league would be dead if everything was so cookie cutter, no one wants to play that.

Like this guy below me? kha'zix is unfair to 1v1? all he can do is skirmish, you aren't suppose to 1v1 him unless you are much further ahead, but he brings nothing to a team fight.

Accept that if you get outdrafted you need to play better than your opponent. Sure, there are people i despise laning against, but NONE OF THEM are "unfair".

illaoi is very easy to outplay assuming she isnt 5-0 to a mindless top laner. dodge q, read the ult, (usually happens if she lands a close ranged e) get out. she will now play passive.

Chembaron Yamada10/28/2016, 6:19:44 AM2 votes

Top: Gnar He is super safe thanks to his hop and permanent hyper speed. Gets free damage out of his 3 hit passive. And he is ranged.

Jungle: Nidalee Nearly uncatchable and much damage. At least she has a high skill floor.

Mid: Syndra You are busy dodging her skills permanently (no time to farm) and her ult is basically click to get a kill.

Support: Zyra Riot should introduce other counterplay to her except stepping on her seeds.... She will just shoot her skill shots on them and you have to eat free harass. Her zoning potential is absurd.

ADC:Varus Poke with huge range.

RavenMagus10/27/2016, 9:09:12 PM2 votes

Jayce If you're ranged, he pokes you down with his longer range. If you're melee, he pokes you down with his longer range and he bursts you down with assassin-level damage from his E-Q combo. And then he runs away from anything because his shoes have actual rockets on them.

Darius You're either playing a ranged champion, or you lose. Ironically I'm usually the one playing Darius when I'm toplane, and it just feels unfair.

Caitlyn Once she gets a few items (read: a BF sword and a hurricane) then she'll just do insane damage to everyone while being impossible to engage with her nets and traps. Playing an assassin? Good luck jumping on her when she can stand on a trap that roots you forever while she nets away and then two-shots you. (Why are zeal items all so cheap anyways!)

Azir So happy this guy finally got gutted.

Noblewind10/28/2016, 9:48:59 AM2 votes

Nasus. He is the most annoying inevitability in the game. You can't leave or he'll free farm and take all your towers, and once he's strong enough to 1v1 kill it can be the most helpless feeling when facing him unless your team is stomping the rest of the map.

You can beat him early but you really have to snowball hard and quickly to keep him down.

Vladimir - I frankly cannot stand spell-vamp in general, but this champion takes it to a whole new level. Please explain to me what I'm supposed to do versus this champ in general, I genuinely don't understand it. I don't even play solo lanes, I'm a bot lane player, however I still cannot figure out how best to deal with him. I understand Grievous Wounds helps a bit, but I still struggle and it's pretty frustrating.
