@Riot: You're creating unique Champions, but you're missing something:

summoner 4 Mobility vs Non-mobility summoner 3

Nearly every new champion has at least one flash/dash/boost in their kit. I'm not calling these champions overpowered, simply stating that they have built-in mobility tools.

summoner 4 = RekSaiKalistaAzirGnarBraum summoner 3 = Velkoz summoner 4 = YasuoJinxLucianAatroxLissandraZacQuinnThreshViNamiZed summoner 3 = Elise

Don't get me wrong, I love playing a lot of these champions. But, many of them have very reliable mobility, without very reliable counterplay.

It's time for a new summoner's spell.

  • Disable:
  • This new spell should disable flashes, dashes, jumps, without affecting anything else on the target.
  • The target will not be slowed or damaged, but simply be unable to use any such abilities until the effect wears off.
  • Damage/heals/other abilities are unaffected, ONLY mobility tools are deactivated. Once the effect ends, these spells can be used normally.

(FAQ)

  • L2P instead of asking for nerfs!

I'm not asking for any nerfs, or changes to these champions to be made. I'm asking for Riot's champion design team to try a little bit harder to make unique champions without throwing 400+ range flash/dash/boosts with little or no cooldown into every single kit.


  • You mean you don't want them to change any of these champions? But __ is overpowered!

This thread isn't about nerfs/buffs for champions. This thread is about mobility as a whole.


  • Flashes/dashes shouldn't be able to be countered by a 210ish cooldown Summoner Spell

summoner 14 vs Regen summoner 3 vs Movespeed/Burst summoner 1 vs CC summoner 7summoner 21 vs DMG

TL;DR: Having a healthy game is about having clear, defined weaknesses to each strength. Paper beats rock, rock beats scissors, scissors beat paper. Without a balance, your game becomes unhealthy.

If Scissors were instead Industrial-Strength Lasers, then no one would pick Rock or Paper! And now, flashes and dashes are League's form of Industrial-Strength Lasers.

Why not just add that onto Exhaust?

Why not just add that onto Exhaust?

I was thinking that, but then you've got a pretty powerful spell, that you would always bring instead of just to counter an opponent.

Think about it. You're slowed, your abilities deal less damage, AND you cant use any flash/dash abilities? That would guarentee a kill against pretty much anyone.

If we keep them separate, it doesnt become quite as overbearing... That's my reasoning, at least.

If yasuo is mobile then so is Elise.

I just needed a point to stop at. Didn't feel like listing out every champion in LoL, as this thread is more about mobility in general than specific characters.

Elise's Rappel is much less reliable than Yasuo's Dash, MS, and ultimate. Hence why I used her as a stopping point.
