This. Being an adc in a game where you're facing Nocturne is the most helpless I've ever felt playing League.

Nocturne

I hate Nocturne as a champion kit in all honesty, its extremely unbalanced and everything makes for unhealthy gameplay when you have to play around an ultimate. I only love him thematically

He does ONE thing. You're only saying this because this is the meta of 5 damage champs with no peelers, tanks or defensive champions.

Ya want to invalidate Nocturne almost entirely? Pick a double mage bot... don't worry, it's basically meta now... and both of you get hourglass. BOOM. Now watch him dive into your team and blow the fuck up to YOUR team over and over again. TADA.

Nocturne was considered trash for a long, long while because his "dive in ult" was his only gimmick, and it was an easily avoided one at that. So avoid it... and now he's just kinda crap. No harm, no foul.

Anyone that’s able to get infinity edge because from that point forward I can no longer build armor to survive an adc’s damage thanks to true damage, time to die from 3 auto attacks. Lately I’ve actually been hating Jhin a lot because when you combine fleet footwork, stormrazer, and his passive, it feels impossible to catch him once he uses his fourth shot. The purpose of his reload mechanic is to punish him after he has used his most powerful attack but now you can’t do that. He just kills you in 3-4 hits then runs away and you can’t get a chance to kill him unless you are a burst fighter or assassin. Cough cough Irelia Zed

Only Rengar because the instant kills out of stealth are ridiculous when he gets duskblade lol

I always hate these dudes no matter what: Blitzcrank Braum Yasuo LeeSin

Right now specifically? Zed MonkeyKing Talon Pyke MasterYi Leblanc Khazix Jax Irelia Fizz Chogath Kled Kaisa

There's a difference between what I dislike and what's unfair/OP, though. If I had to narrow it down to only that, I'd say...

Zed Early damage from double/triple-dipping Q ranks is fundamentally poor design that makes laning unfair for opponents and late game unfair for Zed. Passive makes it too hard to deny him CS.

Talon Only real gripe is the incidental zoning power on his W in conjunction with his Q heal. Lane is too free.

Pyke His kit is everything I hate packed into one champ, but I think he would be fine if it wasn't for his gray health healing. With his cc, evasion skills, and strong all-in, I think he should be weaker to poke and punishment for bad engages.

Leblanc The cooldown on her passive is too short for such a reliable cockblock.

Jax He's basically everything Riot said they hated about old Irelia and tank Fiora. He's nothing but stats on stats that scale exponentially when you buy more stats.

Fizz E should not be invulnerable, not untargetable.

Chogath Either Q is overloaded or his entire kit is overtuned. For as hard as he is to kill, getting hit by one Q should not be a death sentence.

Kled The dismount/remount is just so fucking toxic. If Kled has 1 hp and Skaarl has 1 hp, you can hit him with a Lux ult for 10,000 damage and Kled doesn't die.

MasterYi I hate everything about this guy, but I think the biggest problem is that his counterplay is a Catch 22 (blow your cc on Alpha or hold cc and die anyway?). Right now, I think Riot could help the situation by allowing the damage reduction on Exhaust to affect him while ult is up.

I say for Yi, at least don't let his Q cd get reduced every auto attack

They actually nerfed his Q damage and only made it do significant damage if the player landed Q's simultaneously to reward skillful play and to determine a good Zed from a bad one which the Boards applauded them for it.

You should practice dodging if you're getting hit by Triple Q's a lot since their by normally hit on the Death Mark Target.

That nerf was only to passthrough Q damage, in exchange for no penalty to shurikens that hit a target after the first.

Oh, then the very next patch they reverted the passthrough nerf and left the huge buff to multi-hits.

The passthrough damage is the highest it has been since patch 3.7, multi-hit damage is the highest it has ever been and by a significant margin, and the initial base damage and AD ratio are negligibly lower than peak values (235 + 1.0 bAD versus 220 + .9 bAD).

The multi-hits definitely reward skillful play, but utterly vaporizing your opponent with overpowered damage is not an appropriate reward. The issue with Zed is that a monkey can spam Q with no skill whatsoever and still deal substantial poke damage over time with no opportunity cost.

Zoe She's just lousy design. She just fishes for sleep bubble hits until she gets lucky, then one-shots people with her absurdly strong Q. Not impossible to deal with, in fact most of them kinda suck as her... but not really a fun lane either. Aside from that, she's just really, REALLY obnoxious.

Yasuo forever the benchmark of lousy design... with the extra downside that he's picked CONSTANTLY because there are a lot of weebs out there that love this dude. If they're on your team, they'll feed their ass off and still be arrogant ragemonkeys, acting like they're the only good player on the team. I slightly prefer him as an enemy, because at least then you can blow his dumbass up and most Yasuo are trash tier with him... but he's a very lame champ to play against and that infamous Yasuo-player ego means he's pretty much legally obligated to be toxic and obnoxious. God help you if he gets ahead or the game runs long too... cause he'll become relevant even if he started the game 0/8 and will spam his mastery at you pretending it was always his plan to feed for 25 minutes to give you a false sense of security.

Aside from those two.... eh. I can't believe some of the champs people are whining about these days. Have you guys just forgotten how to play against some of the game's most basic bitches? Even the two I dislike are more because I find the champ's playstyle or playerbase really obnoxious, not because I think they're broken. You want to beat nearly every one of these bursty assassin sorts that people seem unable to handle?

Annie

No, seriously. Build her sliiiightly tankish... RoA and hourglass... and just watch as the first fool to come into your team is instantly stunned with an unmissable Q and then blown up by your entire team. Or just by you.... because you're freakin' annie. Hourglass if something comes at you and let your team blow it up. No harm, no foul. This trick works fine on nearly any mage really... but annie is the queen of it because she can't miss her stun and she's bursty AF.

You won't have trouble fighting all these glass cannon sorts if you load up on the major weakness of the hyper-mobile assassin sorts.... grouping... and point and click hard CC. Yi dies instantly if he eats a stun and your team is around. Nocturne too. Same with Pyke, Zed and so on. You'll stop losing to these champs if you just play the game not trying to run around solo with a sign on your back that says "kill me pls".
