Troll Champions

dakota saturn··2 votes·614 views

Not champions that are BAD, per se. I'm talking about champions that people pick to purposely annoy both teams in their games.

Two that immediately come to mind are Teemo andShaco . They are very squishy in roles that generally have tanks, so the rest of the team has to build around them. They also don't do jack in teamfights or really do anything helpful for anyone other than themselves. They also have extremely frustrating, borderline toxic playstyles that piss off the enemy team because of lack of counterplay. Don't have red trinket? Have fun losing all your hp in jungle. Actually tried to harass the Nasus in lane to slow his farm? Naw, 2 shiv poison to the face from nowhere.

I always feel like people who main these champs know exactly what they're doing and how much they piss off everyone, and they're in general the most toxic, annoying people that I come across. More than Riven/Yasuo/Vayne mains because they at least try to win and can be muted. The purpose of the Teemo/Shaco main is to piss off as many people as possible.

EDIT: And lol my current team has an insta lock support teemo. yay.

As a Plat player with almost 250K points on Shaco, this offends me.

Shaco isn't useless. His good early game means he can get his lanes snowballing, or shut down the enemy jungler really hard. His late game isn't terrible, he can still one-shot squishies if he pulls his combo off correctly.

Shaco isn't useless - he's just a troll champion.

Oh my gosh read the post. Troll champ =/= useless. It means a champion that you know will annoy your teammates.

Nobody says "Oh Boy we have a Teemo on our team!!! :DDD"

And Shaclone has been proven over and over to be an awful person and a troll to his teammates.

Just goes to show that the majority of the people who pick these champs have the same kind of attitude, for example if you got queued with Faker and he played Teemo it would be funny and or something to be in awe at.

I think the biggest problem isn't the champions themselves, it's the same crappy toxic attitude that often accompanies the people who pick these champions.

My point is that toxic people are drawn to these champions because they know that they annoy their teammates by picking them. They're not bad champions, they just force their own team to bend over backwards to fit them.

Teemo Support is actually quite viable. The vision/map control offered by his shoorms...!

Under certain circumstances of course. Like if they have a tanky melee Support. If they have one that can poke back, his squishiness is his downfall. Karma will bully him soooo hard, for example.
