That weak champion... That you fell in love with anyway...

Elindiir··28 votes·5,049 views

For me, its Evelynn... She is so much fun to play, and for her, ganking allows for creativity. Its so fun to see how the enemy reacts to an Evelynn appearing behind them when they are pushing... Or taking out the Jhin that is waaay in the back because of his range, who dies so fast because nobody REALLY expects to get hit from behind and all of the CC is up front. Evelynn, who laughs at your beautiful warding habits, and the fact that you can't keep more than 2 pinks out at a time... Evelynn, who kills you behind your turret as you recall... Evelynn, who you farm (or fail to farm) under tower for, because towers give true sight...

Who is your weak champion, that you love anyway?

Syndra Back in the day you'd get shunned for picking her. Then over the course of a game, I'd make 9 people change their mind about Syndra.

Soon, though, she is going to be in a worse state, than when she was released.

How she's getting buffed?

BetweenSkill5 votes

Her main damage source, Q, is getting nerfed at rank 5, and the fact that she can easily get all 7 balls into an ultimate with the changes means one of the most potentially bursty spells in the game will almost always be at max damage, meaning they will have to gut something else in her kit to make room for that damage.

This is exactly my concern. People are gonna abuse the Ult and Riot is gonna nerf her again. Then she'll be down in Q damage and Ult damage. Or like you said, somewhere else. I don't want my main to die. [zombie-nunu-hearts]

But I was wrong on the weak part. Boy I was wrong.

Old Sion second jungler mid though :(

My typical build when they surrendered at 20 minutes when playing AP sion item 1056 item 1056 item 1056 item 1326 item 3089 item 3041

This was by far the most fun I had playing LoL because people in silver never knew what hit them when they get instakilled by the guy with less than 1% pick rate.

Not necessarily weak, but definitely unpopular. Khazix Gangplank Skarner Kennen Swain Nocturne Velkoz I would just like to say that, I played Kha long before his Rise to power and fall. Along with Gangplank and skarner before their big reworks

Mid-season 5. I was literally flamed in champ select when I locked her in, but always managed to carry. Secret op of season 5? Dunno. Love the banana-thrower though, despite not playing her much lately (banned all the time rip).

Fiddlesticks Everytime I ult, I use a chat bind saying "JUMPSCARED" into chat Kassadin As he is right now, I go two stacking items and farm for late RekSai After all her, terrible, terrible nerfs Twitch I get to play like an assassin as an adc, the best of two worlds Shaco Counter jungle like a god, jungle like a peasant

Singed Sure, he can be easily zoned and counter picked, but there is just something about this mad man that keeps me coming back.

morris12 votes

It's funny when you get zoned to hell in lane then at 40 minutes you still have 350 farm, 4k health and 400 ap.

Dragonface1 votes

The only thing that really sucks about him is after he flips someone in a team fight, he's basically useless. Just don't focus him. His poison doesn't hit hard enough to constitute worrying about him.

charcharmunro1 votes

item 3116 says otherwise. Sure, it may not do THAT much damage, but if you let him have his way your whole team will be constantly slowed and unable to retaliate much at all.

Veigar I've always been fascinated with late game champions. People say Veigar is boring because all you're doing is farming, but for me getting late game champions to the late game is almost like a mini game for me. There's something satisfying about being pitifully weak early game, and then growing into a monster. Right now the popularity of item 3156 item 3053 item 3139 and these champions Yasuo Fizz Leblanc Zed make me sad.

JerulEon3 votes

Yasuo in season 5 when he had a <49% winrate before all the AD item reworks and Keystones that made him a lot better.

Should be Zac and Twitch

Zac was the first champion for 6300IP that I bought after seeing him in a competitive game because I thought he looked really fucking cool to play. I still enjoy him, his personality and his playstyle.

I really like Twitch because once you get into mid/lategame, playing him is really really really funny. Just spraying their team down in 2 seconds without them even noticing :p

Orianna I absolutely adore her, she may not have 100-0 you potential but she will always be my favorite little lady of clockwork. She is great helping teamfights, great at protecting others and peeling. She is weak in damage but that will never stop me from playing her.

Bard on release. He was super squishy first patch, but he was just as fun as he is now

dunkeroni3 votes

Bard Don't get me wrong, Bard can be very strong in th right hands. My hands are not the right hands. I play him because he is simply a joy to play as, but I don't win. The best part is I really don't care if I win, and I don't care if my teammates flame me. Bard is impervious to hate.

I could work to get better at Bard, but something happened to me that stopped this long ago. I played a game against a Bard player named 'Bard the Bard'. He said he had quit league, but he came back on because a friend wanted to queue with him. He was, quite simply, the best Bard I have ever seen, including those from the pro streams. I will never be anywhere near as good with bard, he will always be fun to play.

Hey, for me it's Evelynn too! I started playing her fairly early, and it's good to see some love for her, even if it's just because of her splash art update. Glad to see another one!

used to be urgot.... I really love weak champs... its really annoying xD but I really like Zil, hes proving to be a great support now doh, and I'm getting used to doing damage over time, not just bursting others... like cass early game xD I think my answer is Cass :P

Vicarious1172 votes

Aatrox will always be ma boy!

I go on stints where I play him non-stop even though he's generally quite weak atm, and I still do very well most of the time, but eventually I just kind of stop playing him again cause most people tend to get tired of their teams harassing the fuck out of them just for picking a champ they consider as weak.....

Kai Guy2 votes

I feel like weak is relative but going off tiers lists. Bard on release, for months after,so much salt in lobbys. Nami carried me to plat the first time, back when everybody all NAMI TRASH TIER SONA BETTER. befor the support reworks where they all got utility scaling. also had hella rage over picking up item 3041 on her. Ziggs Anivia Swain Veigarbecuase they are "bad mages" Zyra support got me so much freaking tilt untill c9 started running that Ashe Zyra and folks finally let up. AurelionSol currently my bro but im hearing mixed reviews on the popular opinion of his power level so unsure if he will be considered weak or op yet.

Blue Moon Wolf2 votes

depends on what you mean by weak. if you mean damage wise then it would be Bard since I build him for more mobility so I can cut through the map in no time.

Hullabaloo9072 votes

Bard actually does pretty good damage for a support, especially when you get a high chime count

Fiora I miss back when she was bad, she was the best when she was bad! Heimerdinger Takes a long time to get bored, strange that nobody plays this guy. Quinn The story of playing Quinn ADC is getting that person who says "Quinn isn't a good ADC!" /does it anyway. Aatrox I love this guy, he really is bad. Teemo Always, my main.

pirobot2 votes

Heimerdinger is the best.

Swain here. ^^

He's not 'weak' in general, but close to the definition of OFF-META! I have so much fun when playing him, going all in as demon bird - that's how I like my Champ! <3

Sona and Season 5 Katarina.

Picking Katarina into Season 5 tank meta was basically asking to suicide, but I still did it anyway.

Sona Do I have to say anything about her? We all know she is one of the weakest champions in the game. Yes she does poke a lot and she is preferably better in poking than tank supports but that's basically all she does. Her healing and shields do jackshit and she doesn't really fill any niches. Nami, another well-rounded support surpasses her in almost every way, but I still love Sona because of her pokes and surprisingly large amount of "assisting damage". With some AP, Her Q aura + damage are strong enough that an ADC without any MR can see his/her health bar disappear before he/she knows anything.

(And of course her music is one of my favorite parts about Sona)

Sejuani Sejuani is not weak at all but she is not the monster that used to be the same that made me Diamond in April of last year. After the cinderhulk nerfs, her w nerfs and not compensation, she is not the same anymore but I really love her! Is my diamond icy boar lady!

Aatrox He has great potential... sadly just in some situations. Also he needs all dem' items that cost too much gold. Yorick Just to annoy the sht out of the enemy toplaner. He is so stupid in 1v1's and im really hoping his relaunch will make him be remembered again. Singed You can troll and do literally nothing the whole game than farming... and still win if you're good. I love this guy because his late game is literally just running through the enemy team, throwing their carries in your team and then finish. Gangplank & Kassadin I put them both on one spot because their early game is even worse than Talons. But if you manage to get your items somehow through farm or assists they become unstopable r4pe trains that noone wants to 1v1 or 1v2. Karma One of not if the most annoying midlaner. How do you play Karma? Q R Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q and probably go 5/0/0 in minute 20. Nothing else to say.

There are plenty more non meta champions i love to play. But these are some of the few i had the most fun with.

dunkeroni2 votes

You will remember Yorick Mori...

Also you should try Yorick Jungle. Camps always agro the ghouls, so you can rotate damage away from yourself and use your lifesteal to sustain. Even Dragon will turn around and show his ass to you.
