Fiora Garen Mordekaiser Darius Skarner [wild card]

Yay juggernauts. All these champions should be reverted except Fiora because I just bought her skin and I want to get to Plat.

Add 8 bans. nerf all of them. Bam now you will have to ban champions that are actually worth banning.

It's really bad because there are several other champions I really think need to be banned right now (e.g. Vayne, Fizz, Master Yi - at least in silver) and needing to use 2-3 bans on these champions really wrecks the ability to have any reasonable bans...

The other 1 is usually Gangplank or Soraka, both broken freelo monsters.

Soraka in what world???

SeductiveGrandpa4 votes

Alistar "Oh no, ive built full tank but i thought it would be smart to 1v5 since Moochanics and now i'm near death and going to die!" Soraka "No prob bb." Soraka R's and grants every fucking thing its health back (On a serious note: Jesus her healing, I cant even do damage without her bringing all her adc's health back)

LankPants11 votes

This just in, the champion who's entire kit, theme and identity revolve around healing people can heal people.

SeductiveGrandpa1 votes

Welp, the joke went over your head but let me explain myself: I'm fully aware of this but I have had some games where Soraka was healing ridiculous amounts of health, to the point where it just silly.

darius and mord are the only 2 that aren't balanced. the other 3 are just because people don't know how to play against them

ValyrianBlade1 votes

Really?

I find Darius balanced, but Garen and Skarner too strong. Agree Morde is not exactly balanced, but is possibly the most arguable to be "people don't know how to play against him" - lane swaps or just farming lane should nullify him early, and if he doesn't snowball he should be useless late.

Skarner's ability to suppress and drag a key opponent to his team is incredibly powerful. It always was. His slow clears, poor objective control, and weak overall early game is what balanced him. His shrines remove that entirely - all 3 items. He's VERY strong right now.

Garen can charge really fast and basically ignored damage put on him... then does true damage to you on each hit and overall does a lot of damage. Doesn't matter how far you get ahead as an ADC, Garen will destroy you if your team doesn't hard CC him before he gets to you.

skarner, buy qss. garen never phases me as vayne, i even pick vayne into garen top.

DorkunedAuras9 votes

Well vayne is a whole other mess. Try picking someone who isn't built to beat juggernauts...

ScriptBrand2 votes

he's really not that big of a deal. people try to be aggressive against him as a melee champion. you need to just farm against him. only ranged champions should try to go toe-toe with him early on. he gets outscaled pretty easily

there is absolutely fucking nothing balanced about fiora right now.

ScriptBrand5 votes

except she's dookie turds in a team fight, absolutely useless unless she can finish her ult

YUSS2 votes

Her stats are too high atm. Her passive also needs to do physical because shes popping the shit out of tanks. its also whats allowing 2v1's. There should be no such thing as true damage health shred. Especially not on a champ that can go invulnerable with high mobility/stats.

you are useless. Once she activate this ult, the team fight is over, and it is really easy to do that out there, coz someone could be already half of hp, for a champion that does so much dmg its a piece of a cake.

MalzaharAnyLane2 votes

You don't seem to understand the ult has two problems. Try not being retarded.

The ult snowballs teams who are ahead because yes, whoever is half HP is getting janitored.

The ult is useless if her team is behind because the heal doesn't fix whatever cause the teamfight to go tits up to begin with, usually an enemy gold lead which means healing doesn't mean dick if Fiora's team isn't putting out damage.

Ergo she is in fact useless in teamfights unless you were already going to win anyway or the fight was close. Then she just ruins it one way or the other.

Her laning phase hasn't changed that much except they turned her into trash against Riven when she used to be one of the few hard counters that could actually scale for that animation-cancelling monster. Most of Riven's hard counters were stupid bruisers and tanks when they weren't Fiora.

colesy2 votes

her laning phase hasn't changed much except the part where she counters your CC by stunning you back, slowing you, dealing damage at the same time, proc'ing a vital with her q and then doing strong damage with her e. it's way too overbearing.

lmao dookie turds

I was just watching Nagne (one of the best koreans) play riven vs fiora and had literal 0 chance of making an even trade, even with dodging and high skill she has ridiculous damage and can reflect CC too well. NERF.

this. even the pros perma banned her in the LCS the last few games. they are also spamming her a lot in ranked which leads me to believe they realize how overpowered she is.

rG Thundrag2 votes

The only ones I actually think are overtuned atm are Fiora/morde/darius. Skarner and garen while strong the nerfs hit them fairly well especially garen after losing a lot of MS he is just banned as his villain gimmick is making it hard to snowball against him in lane and skarner lost a lot of burst so hes not too bad(still ungodly tanky though so I understand him being banned)

hi im alphonse2 votes

well at least youre honest

MalzaharAnyLane2 votes

This is because people are dumb and keep thinking the juggernauts win games.

Juggernauts just make laning a pain in the ass, it's the Sated Devourer users that win games.

True balance is having no choice any more

Are people really that impatient they can't wait for the next damn patch for some balance changes for them?

i find darius balanced :/

Solidair31 votes

Well they are all getting nerfed in 5.18. So... yeah.

Tails Doll1 votes

I ban Vayne Kalista and possible Riven if Skarner Mordekaiser Garen where banned by the enemy team. That way I can be damn sure there is a top laner that now cant play, and 2 adcs that cant play either, lel :D

Gubaguy1 votes

I played a game where the enemy team didnt pick or ban darius... Was a good day for me.

TASTE THE SAND1 votes

at the moment of me writing this - darius ban rate is at 82% fiora ban rate is at 79% skarner is at 65% morde at 62% then gp at 57%

MechanicalPirate1 votes

should tell riot something. i know they keep stats on ban rates.

Krfin1 votes

Why does fiora's AOE heal, heal everybody to FULL health when she is a DUELIST. and why does it HEAL 5xs as much as JANNAS who is a SUPPORT?

jmaishere1 votes

you forgot Vayne

Worst Kench NA1 votes

I pretty much always ban Ashe, Thresh, and Kennen. (or whoever my team tells me to ban if Kennen isn't available).

The other team usually bans Garen and Mordekaiser, and I never see Fiora, Skarner or Darius at my elo anyways.

RyzeRework1 votes

I dont ban any juggers I ban shyv to then yi and first pick any juggernaut available
