Currently, by position (This is mostly my opinion, not all of these are completely factual):

TOP: Darius Garen Fiora (That's a Fiora) Gangplank (That's a Gangplank)

JUNGLE: item 3930 Not much is really that OP right now...

MID: Veigar Lux Yasuo Annie

ADC: Vayne Jinx Mordekaiser (Yes, I'm serious)

SUPPORT: Thresh Soraka Nami

ahahaha what mordekaiser as AD carry? do you build him AD or AP (does he lane bully that hard now) im so confused but im all about this lol. Dr. Glock is back up on top lane? that probably won't last long.... that's cool tho, i use atleast 1-2 of those champs in each role so im not too worried. Kassadin any good? i remember his silence being taken away and that was annoying but he was still decent...

For Morde, start with item 3302 so that your entire bot lane gets healing, and go item 3116 into full AP. He got a rework, so he now gets full XP when he kills any minion. Play him with a tank support (Leona is a favorite) and dominate everything. Be sure to take dragon a lot, as well.

Who do you mean as Dr. Glock? GP and Fiora got really good reworks for them, and Darius and Garen also got little reworks that helped them a lot. WARNING: DARIUS'S Q IS NOW VERY SLOW. But he's really good at Pentas now, so that's something.

Kassadin got a "rework" that was basically an enormous nerf, and now he's absolutely terrible. He can't really do anything anymore, so never play him.

Nami isn't even considered good right now

I think I saw some Rioter comment on one of the balance Q&As that they might not have needed to buff Nami a few patches ago, because she was already in a good spot.

Even so, she's far from OP right now

TurquoiseYoshi1 votes

True, but I wanted to have more than just Thresh and Soraka.

You could just go with the old standard and put Blitzcrank, enough people consider him OP even if he really isn't

You missed out the time when Lee Sin was actually not OP.

Now he is back into the top game pfff.

Velkoz it's Vel'koz.

Atm the most broken piece of nonsense is Morde, after his atrocious and unwanted rework.

true i guess that's a good idea, im not really getting into ranked (unless im gonna help pull my scrubby cousin out of bronze) probably just gonna play some customs or something.. My old Elo was closer to gold/high silver so going in there now after not playing for years is just troll.. lol

Janna and Soraka

The Tsak1 votes

Janna and Soraka? interesting i guess.. lol. I'm not much of a support player though and when i do i play aggressive C: Leona Taric

Archon X1 votes

Leona's still good, Taric is not in the meta though.

The Tsak1 votes

no room for fabulous... sad times

HentRex2 votes

Taric ain't been meta since Season 2, where he was OP. Now he's just a sad memory of his former self. Which is truly outrageous if you ask me and needs to be fixed.

Singed TahmKench

The Tsak1 votes

singed? i think? and a frog or something? item 2054

Kitten of Evil1 votes

Frog is Tahm Kench, a tank/support. His big thing is that his spells and attacks all scale with his max HP, and he has a move "Devour" that can eat an ally, making them untargetable (think Kalista ult), or can be cast on an enemy after he's hit them a couple times... and it suppresses the enemy for a couple seconds, then does % enemy max HP damage to them.

Garen Darius Skarnerbecause too tanky with loads of damage Fiora % health true damage passive that heals her now and W blocks CC Elise long ranged pick tool on E, loads of damage and great early game because of the 2 forms Mordekaiser He's an ADC now for some reason, that builds either AD or AP Gangplank Barrels make critplank Qs AOE now Soraka Because I was trying to kill that person, but now they are full health again Shyvana Udyr MasterYi Sated devourer is crazy, double on hit effects

Garen Darius Skarnerbecause too tanky with loads of damage

when will people realize thats the entire point of those champions? theyre tanky carries. no theyre not op.

they dont have 700 range and multiple cc abilities. Jinx

or ridiculous mobility Riven

their high defense is just to offset for the fact that theyre slow and have 0 utility (and in garens case because he doesnt have in combat sutain).

by the way, darius is pretty terrible after his last set of nerfs.

Vesarixx1 votes

I actually don't worry about any of these in game, but these are the one that solo queue teams will complain about the entire game if you don't ban them, also in terms of Riven, if she has to use that mobility to get close to you, that's a large part of her damage gone.
