Master Yi, Xin Zhao, Shyvana, Udyr and Warwick will be dead champions in S7

PiVoRx··5 votes·1,881 views

They cant power farm jungle anymore, they cant lane, they cant do shit. All are already trash tier champions usable only in ARAM and games against bots, and in S7 their life will be even harder? Why do you even keep them in game Riot?

Shyvanna has possibly the fastest jungle clear on the pbe client; she'll be fine.

Big Lincoln2 votes

shyvana's clear is really good on PBE

the problem is mostly she just doesn't really have any mastery that benefits her

GULAG 4 U1 votes

And they are making the respawn timers even longer on mobs so she is forced to gank (When she can't party because of her ult being shitty af)

Big Lincoln1 votes

she's getting a rework, probably because of the indirect nerfs from season 7, in the patch right after it, at least

Good.

Mordekaiser crying katarina main here again, give the caitlyn downvote and moving on.

can do with less mr yo players in this lowly bronze elo. [slayer-jinx-catface]

Warwick is getting a rework, Udyr has been dead for a while, and I'm not sure Master Yi will ever go out of favor as a low-elo pubstomper.

Let's wait for the diver class update then. I'll wait with you.

Ralanr1 votes

Still hoping vanguards are next.

Marshbouy1 votes

TBH me too. Rather have the cancerous divers have to wait on it then vanguards.

GULAG 4 U1 votes

I'm seriously hoping you're sarcastic.

Marshbouy1 votes

A little bit.

GULAG 4 U1 votes

Most divers are much more cancerous and one dimensional and there is almost no vareity between them (they all offer the same shit causing that there is generally only one that is good and much better than others {irelia,diana}). Vanguards are fine for the most part other than having shitty keystone (COC fixing that anyways)

Marshbouy1 votes

Yeah. Divers entirely lack diversity. They boil down to how effectively can they jump onto someone and kill them or disrupt a fight. Naturally that makes Hecarim far superior to XinZhao in many ways because with a lulu supp karma mid you can get that hecarim to one shot people. Along with this he has an AOE fear and instant CC.

Xin on the other hand needs at least 3 autos to CC them.

and aatrox is a diver that tries to be a skirmisher that tries to be a draintank and proceeds to become a shitty graves and is the only diver you peel off your carries before he can even reach them.

Marshbouy1 votes

Aatrox is just so terrible. The only reason i can ever think of why you should pick him is the cheesy baron solo.

The full clear gives notably more EXP and it takes longer, so powerfarming gets encouraged while early gankers need more time before they can do what they are know for.

I as a yi main love these changes and Shyvana's clear is as good as ever. What are you even on about.

Do you know if they increased the gold per champ? I think his point is that increased (100s -> 150s) respawn time for jungle creeps is a pretty hard nerf for everyone who already struggled to find enough camps.

Rivuo1 votes

i knew in gold 4 to drop xin zhao.. hes just not a good champ despite what anyone says.

i love playing him and have all his skins so its kinda unfortunate..

Marshbouy2 votes

I spent 10 games trying to learn him before realizing that he was only good at shredding towers and draintanking objectives. It's really sad when someone can walk out of your 3 hit ability without even trying.

GULAG 4 U1 votes

Xin zhao has been trash for a loooongggg time now...

Niyumi1 votes

Highest winrate champ in masters, last I checked, was Win Nhao. So...

GULAG 4 U1 votes

Oh yeah, with a pickrate of almost 0% where you have 400 players making the statistics? Challenger/master winrates mean fucking nothing

Niyumi1 votes

Okay, sure, but if some of the best players in the world play Win Nhao and stomp, then maybe he's not bad, and is actually just as broken as people say?

GULAG 4 U1 votes

Yeah and look at the playrate which is smaller than Trump's IQ too.

Niyumi1 votes

Someone's a bit upset that their freelo was exposed. ^^

Again, even if he's not played a lot, he wins more than half of the games he is played in -- among the best players in the world even. Across all ELOs, he still has a >50% winrate.

GULAG 4 U1 votes

No, I'm abusing freelo from a champion I don't even play.

Ravenhale1 votes

If a champion has an extremely low pick rate in high tiers, it is because that champion is not a safe pick in most scenarios. Think of it like last picking Katarina against a team you realized had no CC.

Statistical data with such a small sample size is worthless. It doesn't matter.

It does because xin zhao is bullshit borken nerff plz

Urgot has a 100% winrate currently in masters.

I'm not even going to discuss with you why your statement was invalid. You should know why.

Niyumi1 votes

Urgot has a 100% winrate for TODAY. Switch over to monthly and see more realistic winrates. Kayle is the highest right now (big shock), followed by Corki and Win Nhao.

Meep Man1 votes

I'm actually wondering how the new Assassin items, Courage of the Colossus, and other Masteries will favor Warwick.

Talisid1 votes

Doesn't the Krugs camp give way more farm now than it used to?

TyroneWatermelon1 votes

A champion that cannot function in lane properly and can only be played as a jungle shouldn't exist.

Considering Warwick's rework is being headed by the Boards' favorite Rioter ( /s) CertainlyT, I doubt he's going to suffer too much.

I still wonder if CertainlyT is willing to sell any of his tear-filled jacuzzis.

Warwick is getting his rework so he'll be broken for a bit

Raiku Kawisa1 votes

I want to have faith that Riot will not just do this without giving some love to the champions that relied on farming the jungle to survive.

Joke's on you, Xin Zhao is already dead. He's been dead since they nuked him into the ground with that 20% AS and 43% healing nerf back in patch 6.4 (in addition to the -30% AS nerf to Warlord's Bloodlust). He had an enormous 9% drop in winrate after that patch. Then they mutilated his corpse and pissed on his grave when they removed devourer and gutted rageblade in patch 6.9. For a while there after that patch, he actually had a 39% win rate.

Mountain Warden1 votes

I feel like Xin zhao it's pretty strong. Shyvanna is also godly with someone who knows how to build her and judge when to dive in properly. Warwick is godlike in my opinion. Give him wit's end and the rest tank items and it's GG.
