This is how I feel about Season 5

There is something I can't agree more: I don't know which champion I want to main because I'm afraid RIOT will nerf them eventually.

There's no good way to deal with this. If you like the top-picks they'll be nerfed into the ground. (Also you'll get called a no-skill FotM META-sheep and raged at for only playing the top picks) If you go all hipster and take to an uncommon or weak champ because you really like them, you'll have to watch them be inevitably reworked into a Meta pick, (in which case, see above) or into some horrible pile of garbage that you no longer like to play but which is still really weak. If you're REALLY unlucky, they'll make your champ OP for a bit so you can get raged at for picking them and THEN nerf them INTO garbage so you get to see your beloved main ruined before your eyes.

... all I'm saying is I used to love playing Skarner and Cassiopiea. Before they were both violated, at least.

of course. Every champ is league is playable.

ziggs mana problems are actually kind of ridiculous

Mundo, Ziggs, Yasuo, and Ryze are still really good. They're still playable.

So why would I choose these playable champs over the OP champs that does everything they do but better?

That's what you should be thinking

Mundo, Ziggs, Yasuo, and Ryze are still really good. They're still playable.

Playable in the sense that you can press buttons and do things? Yes. Playable in the sense that you have a good chance of winning? Not so much.

I cannot believe you are getting downvoted.

I will bet that if this was about 3 days ago, you would be downvoted for saying Karthus is playable too lmao

Edit: Yasuo, and Mundo specifically are all still good champions. They are even both competitive picks! Mundo was picked in worlds muitiple times, as was yasuo, and yasuo is STILL PICKED. Anyone claiming yasuo is bad or underbalanced has no idea what they are talking about.

Mundo is just simply not meta, same shit with Ziggs, although he has some stupid mana problems

Well, mana regen buffs wouldnt hurt, but saying he is bad is just stupid.

I miss old twitch and probably cassiopia. Those two were really fun.

zyra. shes not a support god damn it!

:'( nerfed

with the overall damage nerfs, or with his smaller q hitbox.

AP Master Yi, even if he was toxic to play against, he was too fun to play. AP Maokai (now it's unplayable, no matter what RIOT says), pre-rework Xerath :c...

AND DENYPLANK!

And what champion you guys miss the most? (Any nerfed/changed champion that stopped to be fun to play for you) For me it'd be old twitch & Evelynn with their stealths..

For me it's veigar

{quoted}

I miss old Gragas

My old main :( before they get popular and gutted

Kassadin's, Veigar's, Gragas', Azir's, Ahri's...

If they are taking away 25 damage from Lissandra Q (which I've been playing since 2,013, when people told me she was useless), I don't care, 25 damage won't change that champion, it will just prevent posers from picking her every time now.

But, when they take away almost half Kassadin's R range, or destroy Veigar's kit, or gut Azir soldiers, or give a stupid, overpowered boost of speed to Ahri's Q so she can escape everything now, these changes affect to everyone, from Bronze to Challenger.

It's actually the other way around.

In silver playing a champion you like versus someone like Zed, Lee Sin, etc gets you wrecked. For example, You like playing Ashe? That's cool and all but the most popular adc is Jinx and there is a very low chance you're gonna out play them.

Some champions are just statistically better.
