Harder champions in League?

S2C2Xd9KOy·Jun 10, 2015·1 votes·1,007 views

Hey, so I've been thinking about this for a bit, and was wondering who would like to see some actually difficult to play champions in League? Aziz, Gnar and Bard were all sort of steps in this direction in my opinion (Bard requiring skill in the sense that 1 bad ult can lose a team fight and Gnar requiring skill in the sense that timing his Mega Gnar is so important).

I understand some champions have slightly harder mechanics... but I want a champion that;s actually difficult. I don't even mean difficult to master, I mean difficult to play in general that will take more than 3 games to get used to and sort of understand.

I'd just appreciate a more difficult champion(s) so the champion I'm playing is somewhat unique, one that not everyone can play but learning is very beneficial.

Thanks for any feedback provided :)

Hes really not that hard though... like yeah he can get caught out a bit but its not like catching the axe is difficult considering you can control them lol.

Mastering him would be fairly difficult I guess but I don't find him to be very hard at all tbh ;p throw axe deal 1/4 health repeat x4 gets 1,000,000 gold from passive ;p

Are you talking about complicated mechanically, or difficult to play well? There are some champions whose kits are relatively simple, yet are very hard to play well at a decent level because to them, positioning and timing are even more important than they are to other champions, or they have a unique mechanic that no other champion has but which you must master to play them effectively.

Examples: Evelynn MasterYi KogMaw Shaco Mordekaiser

I was leaning more to just a flat out difficult kit. I understand though that champions with easy kits can be somewhat more difficult.

What, you mean like a Beastmaster or Chen from Dota? Because I've noticed that micro is definitely the most lacking part of this game.

Although, having an "outside the box" type of champion like Invoker would be really cool too...

Lol, I don;'t play DOTA but when I mentioned this to someone he brought up all the people you and the commenter above you did. I just want a truely challenging champion.

Wouldn't this create the "burden of knowledge" which Rito tries so hard to avoid? Don't get me wrong, I would love to have and Invoker or Meepo style champ, as they are 2 of my fav Dota heroes to play. But I don't think Rito would ever make them because they want to avoid all "burden of knowledge".

But you just named three champions that are like what you described. To really play azir to its full extend you should at least have played a good 300 games on him. If you've seen lustboy play bard against CLG, that was the first time someone actually did a decent bard in LCS, the pros agree that there is a lot more to bard than lustboy showed in LCS and he is a friggen pro. When you're in silver or something you can always pick up a champ and do decent with it after three games. I do that all the time. But when you want some added difficulty level to your champions you have to start thinking about great set-ups, teamcomps, positioning on the map, what the strengths of your champ are in term of objectives and stuff.

Fizz Nami Thresh MonkeyKing These are my opinion.

Edit: Just adding to the list with these.

imo thresh is the only one of those four that are close to hard, but thats just my opinion. Thresh is honestly probably one of the harder champions, definitely the hardest support.
