With the amount of bitching people do, what champs DO YOU GUYS PLAY?

Like, when one champ or another is "super cancer and imbalanced and horribly designed and unfair", what champs do you guys play while saying this? Genuinely curious.

Not sej or ryze who hang out around a 45% winrate in plat+ and yet still received another nerf :).

AtmosphereSep 13, 20181 votes

The nerfs that they're getting, while unnecessary, won't really affect solo queue at all. Sej isn't meant to do damage, so her E proc reduction is kinda irrelevant aside from early clear, and Ryze E-W root is mostly used in pro play for gank assist. I'm not saying they were needed, but they're also not really that bad

SociaI JusticeSep 14, 20181 votes

cutting 1/4th of a champions CC won't be relevant to soloQ btw :^)

AtmosphereSep 18, 20181 votes

Its literally .5 seconds off a 2 second root. That's basically where the root landed if someone bought Mercy Treads. Not that big of a deal, especially since E-W is basically only used for pick potential, while most people use W-E-Q for movespeed/shield.

Roughly in order from most to least Top: Darius Riven Pyke Urgot Swain DrMundo Sion Renekton Trundle Mordekaiser Vladimir Yasuo Tryndamere Akali Aatrox Fiora Garen Jax Carries. I play carry tops. All the carries. You get the idea. This list will go on all day.

Jungle: DrMundo Warwick Fiddlesticks MasterYi Kindred Kayn Trundle

Mid: Talon Katarina Fizz Swain Akali Karthus

ADC: Dodge, or if screwing around in norms Draven Lucian

Supp: Usually dodge, otherwise Pyke Thresh

Disengage champions are the bane of my existence. In particular Lulu and Karma are the most infuriating things on the planet, but a good Janna will tilt me too.

The downsides of a large player base. There's people of every opinion, but no one posts on the boards for "hey, I think velkoz is pretty alright right now. Thanks riot!". This is pretty much my exact opinion (he's well balanced, has his place in the game, and doesn't feel too shoved out by meta picks, even if play rate is low).

For any given topic tho, you'll only get posts by people who are unhappy with the system, as they have a reason to post. It's one reason the boards echo chamber so well, and why you have to take the anger with a grain of salt.

boards only plays high skill mages (besides Lux, because we hate her now apparently) and tanks.

Delete everything else (ADCs, Assassins, Conqueror users, poke supports and carry junglers)

LTK KoRoSep 14, 20182 votes

Boards hate tanks too. And boards play only "high skill" mages in their own opinion, in reality they aren't that hard. Im pretty sure boards play only Veigar, Anivia, Orianna, Viktor and Katarina

Dark RoyaltySep 14, 20181 votes

Agree there except kat is an assasin, idk how you can play anivia and complain avout any other champ in the game lol

they both are simple as fuck, especially Veigar. I can see some nuances in Ori, but she's really easy to pick up and play decently. And veigar is 100% braindead

I used to play Shen top.

Riot stopped giving a shit about the champion, and eventually I stopped giving a shit about their game.

That's my story, boo-hoo, let's keep it moving.

jocomotionSep 14, 20182 votes

Meanwhile in the nerfed to the ground bar TahmKench : Hey buddy can I sit next to you? Shen : do as you wish : If you don’t mind a gent such as myself askin’ what’re you in here for? Shen : being a too well rounded tank duelist top lane. And my Ult. What about you? : being a too well rounded tank duelist support. And my W’s ally interaction. Shen : Small world TahmKench : actually this worlds river runs quite long, I could show- Shen : Back demon.

Bμbble ButtSep 14, 20181 votes

I play whatever I know is good. For instance a good botlaner is Kai'sa. I play kai'sa because she is horribly fucking designed. You can't balance ap with ad in same kit. good example is corki either being busted or just bad.

For Jungle I play whatever I feel like since I don't main it, but the ones who stand out are those who are good at 1v1ing and are fast clearing. Examples being graves and xinzhao.

ChalizardSep 14, 20181 votes

Corki was pretty fine and he is just average now. I am pretty sure that her shield for full hp and invisibility during teamfights are much more cancerous than ap damage.

Baka RedSep 14, 20181 votes

As an ARAM only player so I play what I get, but I prefer to play the immobile ADCs (Jinx, MF, Jhin, Kog) and battlemages (Karthus, Swain and Sol). I also do okay with poke champs (Ziggs, Velkoz), some tanky guys (Singed, Urgot for example - Nunu might be okay for me - Jury is out on him/them still) and some supports (Janna and.. uh, Janna?), but I veer away from assassins and mages with complex combos, because I suck with those (KISS-principle applies to me and my champions.) I am a simple guy, so I like the champions I can play relatively well, and dislike the ones I suck with. Oh, and I guess I am a bad boards person, since I don't think I whine about champions or balance that much.

Sorry, I haven't been in Rift for years (in practice), so I cannot really do proper analysis about anything Rifty. The fight continues in the Abyss and someone has to keep the bridge clear of the enemies.

SaezioSep 14, 20181 votes

Used to main Diana (one trick) but swapped to Leblanc because as Diana, if my team is behind before my 6, I can't do shit anymore and get blown up / my Q gets easily dodged thanks to this shit item 3095 At least as LB I can just delete someone by clicking on them even if they have item 3155 , and thanks to Sudden Impact + Electrocute + Ignite, I'm a threat by level 2 (note : this is my secondary account posting it, as you can see I mostly play rotative mode here, so don't start with "BuT YoU dOn'T pLaY NorMs / RAnKeD")

And yeah I agree she's utter bullshit, but what can I do ? Play something weak and lose 60% of my games ?

Fondling GemsSep 14, 20181 votes

I play a bit of everything tbh, really just whatever strikes my fancy in a game. For the champs I am most comfortable on my pool looks something like this though:

TOP: Chogath JarvanIV Nasus Swain Taric Vladimir JG: Hecarim Nocturne Taric MID: Ahri Janna (Zed counterpick) Karthus Swain Syndra Viktor ADC: Jhin Jinx Twitch SUP: Alistar Karma Sona Soraka Taric Thresh

That is more or less my ranked champ pool, if I am in norms my champ pool is a lot lot bigger, though there are also a lot of things I don't play anymore. (RIP Eve & Morg mid, if only you weren't too buggy to play in Ranked Mordekeker)
