What do you consider "Broken"?

it should be a surprise to No one league of legends is a massive game. In a game this big there will be oversights. Lets talk about them. keep in mind this is Opinionated and well my opinion is less then popular at the best of times.

Morgana Mid: Prechamp select make sure you have the thunderlords talent Why? because thunderlords procs with tourmented soil ticks. All you have to do after that is max tormented soul, you instantly farm waves and occasionally get a Thunder lords proc on an enemy champion.

Malzahar Kind of the same deal with morgana only its worse. thunderlord and max malefic visions. Malzahar is worse IMO because, he has a point click suppress there aren't many items that counterbalance suppress. with malefic visions you have no hope of getting a minion advantage it bounces from minion to minion. and has a change to bounce back to you. if done right you just eat about 500 damage of malefic visions and 100 I just feel like its exploitive and goes to far it makes champions like Akali, katarina, and Zed (Some of the very few AD mid champions) completely worthless.

Teemo I know teemo has a lot of hate and its for a good reason. you gave a rat I could punt 60 yards on a foot ball field the ability to blind you for 3 seconds while scaling super well in AP or AD. I am surprised No one has tried Hybrid yet. so what is the problem here? basically he makes every one want to just not play any more. His laugh is annoying his fanbase are a bunch of jack asses. not to mention the best way to play him is siegemo. (CDR Ability power and magic pen) just one of his ability power shrooms cuts your health pool in half reguardless of how much magic resist you build.

Quinn What more could an ADC want? Point click blind, a broken move speed buff. A passive that prioritizes champions. It is a real shame Not very many people play her because, she is nearly freelo. she is one of the few champions that position doesn't matter with.

any one of these champions are problematic to play against. Most of them are problematic with thunderlords in toe but, reguardless one ability free farming a wave forcing their enemy to farm under a tower is all to unfair IMO.

Broken is basically the lack of counterplay. now if you feed the enemy a few levels on you, and a few items on you...that's not broken, that's broken when fed.

There are vary few broken things in this game, and they tend to come and go with patches. it seems like every other patch there's something broken. an unforeseen combination of variables that riot simply could not predict or have the time to play-test it.

Think how much game data 1 hour of a patch being live gives riot. that's probably already more information than their teams had time to collect themselves when balancing things.

i want you to think of a game that is 100% balanced. anybody who feels they're good at the game would probably stop playing because well, there isn't any point, you've mastered this game.

with every patch new things become strong, new things are added and because of this the game remains interesting. New items are released, new champions are released or even the whole jungle itself is changed, nothing is out of riot's reach when it comes to creating new content. But with each piece of new content it changes the entire playing field simply because you changed a variable.

I personally feel like the game is in a pretty healthy spot right now, yes, there may be a few extremely strong things but isn't it that way for every game? considering how many champions there are, how many items there are..there really isn't that many "OP", "Broken" things. That's why riot gives us 6 bans. (3 per team) in a ranked game. in case there are those OP things you can simply ban them away.

Everything else is up to you my friend, pick your champion wisely and chose your items carefully because it's up to you to have the right abilities and stats to claim victory over your opponents. [slayer-jinx-catface] Keep up the good work Riot <3.

I agree with this for the most part. I just want to add in I think any champion that can 2 shot a person with one complete item is pretty broken. I don't see the balance or counter play if I'm full health, have item advantage and then die with 3-5 seconds of 2 hit combo.

True, but for the most part these are during huge power spikes. and if fights are avoided completely for like...say...5 mins? they probably wont be able to 2 shot you. because you would have had time to build up levels, thus giving you hp...more items

Back in my day broken was when riot had to take down there own servers mid day because Yorick could get 1v5 penta kills on the enemy spawn pad.

Personally I don't believe these champs are broken, but unhealthy, and unfun.

MasterYi its really bs that his only counter is group. too much damage, cant be kited, heals too much, and has no drawbacks for being shit on early, needs more counterplay other than saving cc and grouping

Volibear Garen Singed Rammus XinZhao Olaf all these champs, i usually play utility mages or junglers, and these guys piss me off, if i go vel koz, i can e q, whatever, these guys all i want, and they still come at me and 1v1 me with only 1 damage item, and i maybe do 1/5 of their health with my full combo. like its so bullshit that a black cleaver garen can take no damage, but kill you faster than a zed. same with voli, and all these other champs, too fast, and too tanky, and not much room to kite them with, especially with all their movement speed increasing items item 3742

Yi is literally meant to duel people, and anyone like Irelia Jax Tryndamere Zed can out do him in what he does 1 on 1. Otherwise he can be shut down by one stun, root, or anything of the kind. He's designed to be a hypercarry and has tons of counterplay like Kat.

The Bruisers you mentioned are VERY kitable, the exception being Olaf, who has his ult but only does reasonable damage when ahead. As Vel'koz, you probably have one of the easiest times fighting them as well. All you need is Rylai's and Liandry's , then you can kite and kill any of them with ease, deal true damage AND percentage health damage, along with all of them except xin having no gapcloser to deal with your slows.

what is the difference between "unhealthy" and "Broken"?

Unhealthy pretty much means toxic or bullshit, champs that have really bullshit things that piss you off every time you play against them (for me this is every champ, I'm really salty) Champs like Naut that can root you for years, or Voli that can burst you while building full tank. Relatively balanced champs with key areas that piss you off.

Broken champs are champs with little to no drawbacks in their play, simply bringing too much for their team, in terms of their overall playstyle and stats/kits. Think current state Mundo, or Rek' Sai on release.

Why would someone refusing to walk out of her W make her broken? The ticks are pretty slow and it's obvious she'll always use it on minions so you can always position yourself to never be hit anyways.

Its not "refusing" if you have every played against morgana you know she is built to keep you in one place. your argument is invalid.
