Remember the perfectly balanced time when the game was all new?
Lets admire some champions in their prime^^ I have 4 right now, but I am sure you all have more ;) Cmone everyone, lets collect the biggest beasts of Leagues History^^
Short Cooldown (10 seconds) burts heal Heal (300+0.9AP) with a free 4 second 80 armor buff, free (litteraly free, 0 Mana cost) mana pots for herself and an allie (125 each or double for herself) every 10 seconds OR a free 250+0.6AP Damage Nuke with 2.5 seconds stun (instant hit).
On top of that, a 450 base heal, global, 80s Cooldown and 150% AP bonus.
You think todays Soraka is annoying? Try to lane against that xD
A 30 second Cooldown global Teleport, which could be skilled from Level 1. Blue card allowed you to tear down towers like paper, since you could Spam your W key and you would have like 4 or 5 Blue cards thrown before the timer was over, because Blue card made the roulette go again.
Oh and the Gold card... yes, the jackpot. Hard to get, but so rewarding. with only 0.5s to pick it (2s blue card, 1s red card, 0.5s Gold) it was a big damage burst with an 1.25s AOE STUN!
You think you know League of anything? Open Beta used to be "League of who has the better Twisted Fate"! He was so broken, he was reworked right in Season 0 xD
You know that feeling, when Nasus whithers you and you become so slow and you attacks are also slightly hit? Well, guess what, he didnt always have that "half of that slow is also redused from the attack speed". Back in the old days, both slows hit at full power. Thats right Baby, that meant you got a 95% Movement speed AND attack speed slow. it wasnt a stun... but if you were somehow in need of Autohits.. it could as well have been
Oh yeah, I bet everyone who was around when this bad boy was released still sometimes wake up in the middle of the night screaming "OH NO; THEY HAVE A XIN ZHAO!!!!!" Before remembering its not Season 1 any more, in the same way you sometimes wake up from a dream where you totaly forgot your important homework for school, just to realise 5 seconds later that you are now 30 and have a job.
Well, sadly theres nothing too special here, release Xin Zhao was kinda like he is today, but think of him with all his numbers increased by 50%.
30-37% Dodge chance and he could even DODGE TOWER SHOTS! Do I have to say more? xD
This champion was basicly the reason dodge got removed from the game!
Oh, and he had a 4s CD AoE stun that he could use for 7 seconds after he dodged anything, including Minion attacks. It also did 200 damage
Top that with a sweet passive that gave you +15% AD from any item and some sweet sweet base stats and you had a beast on the rift. Imagine if he had a real weapon!
