Meta Question

first, she became somewhat popular in jungle so i played multiple games against her and found it weird. why do people play her? she cant even clear. so i went and tried it and man, she cant fucking clear. go ahead and try doing a full clear with her and then compare it to any good jungler. do a full clear with lee sin, shyvana etc.

and its not just that but also how she scales. shyvanas first clear is one of the fastest in the games but all her subsequent clears are getting faster and faster and faster. she is a clearing monster and she scales mega good for skirmishes and duels. shes an extremely strong and scary champion and she can get strong RELIABLY because of how hard it is to counter jungle her and how little she relies on ganks to get her power.

quinn on the other hand clears like shit and she doesnt have good powerspikes upon completing the jungle item. she really needs about 2-3 items to be "strong" but thats allready lategame and its not like she outscales other junglers at that point, she just goes even at best.

her only advantage is that she has somewhat funny ganks with her ultimate but if the enemy jungler knows what hes doing, he wont let her abuse her ultimate. remember, having crazy good utility ultimates like pantheon and quinn is a strength but its also a weakness. in the end, they dont have a combat ULTIMATE so if they get forced into a close quarter fight with a strong champion who has an ultimate, they cant win that and if you utilize your advantage, their champ is just too weak physically to be viable. like, its not even a question of skill, the champ itself doesnt possess the physical capabilities to fill their role.

also, quinns biggest strength is that she has range, high damage and very good speed/kiting so she is a real threat in a lane against a melee opponent. if you dont use that strength (mainly in toplane), she goes to waste. in my eyes, quinn is a toplaner AT BEST.

i was referring to champions only. ofcourse there is a gap in a good dinner and a great dinner and there is a gap between good sex and great sex if you ever had any. but you see, thats not what we are talking about. we are talking about champs.

if a "good" champ plays against a shitty champ, the good champ may look good but if he plays against a great champ, he looks like shit and if a shitty champ plays against a great champ, he looks like shit too so in the end, if you want to know if a champion is viable, you have to compare him to the best things in the game.

sure akali jungle works because she can clear the jungle without dying. but is she viable?

because personally, i find people who classify champions and things in general as "S, A, B, C, D, my dick, A1, A2, A3, Tier 1, God Tier, Trash Tier" etc retarded.

i just think to myself: hm, this person is mentally disatvantaged, i feel very sorry for him. and since i keep telling myself that it just CANT BE that so many people have mental disabilities, i try to find a different answer. why do you classify things like that? why does anyone?

there is no "god tier" and "tier 2" or "tier 3". there is only things that can be made to work under every circumstance and things that cant. there is simply 2 classes of junglers: champs that can jungle and champs that cant. and being able to kill 3 camps without dying doesnt classify as jungling.

same goes for laners. if yo uwant to know if a champion is viable in a lane, ask yourself IS THERE A WAY TO PROPERLY LANE AGAINST ALL CHAMPIONS?

and PROPERLY means:

1. being able to achieve lanecontrol at some specific point and being able to efficiently use that lanecontrol to achieve certain objectives
2. being able to get CS reliably
3. being able to control the flow of the lane

maybe i forgot a point or so but generally speaking, most champions are not viable in toplane and most champions are viable in midlane from these points, at least from laning perspectives.
