What is the weakest damaging skill in the game?

SwiftKitten88··3 votes·614 views

it HAS to deal damage and why is it the weakest? does it have a short cooldown? does it have an impressive range? is it impossible to counterplay?

DOT are allows but the entire length of the DOT will be counted same for multi hit spells.. every hit will be counted as if it landed

i have my answer and i want to know what other people think it is

please POST the damage of the skill

Trundle pillar does 1 true damage

I guess it's more for CC than for damage though

Veigar cage does 1 true damage too. Oh, don't forget about Zilean bombs.

Twitch ' venom cask.

Applies 2 stacks of his passive for a grand total of 24/36/48/60/72 true damage over 6 seconds

Also more skill ranks only increase it's slow potency, not the damage, as the damage is based on Twitch's level/passive.

Technically the damage comes from Twtich's passive: but the skill applying said passive in an AoE also always means Venom Cask does deal damage.

Evelynn ult when you ult someone at 2 HP. literally incapable of killing.

Skarner's ult base damage. 20 and then another 20 after a couple seconds, which is further reduced by MR

I would have to say it would be Twitch Venom Cask. On landing skill, will deal a guaranteed 24 damage (4 True Damage/sec x 6) at level 1.

Then I just saw someone say Trundle Pillar of Ice does 1 true damage flat, so, those two are the only things that come to mind.

I keep thinking you might mean as in personal usefulness.

In that case, I am still going to say Twitch's Venom Cast. On second thought, I might throw in Nunu's Consume, simply because I can't use it on champions for a damage boost traded from getting healed. (Like a Trundle Chomp)

Gnar's Q has 5 base damage at level 1. Renekton's W also has 5 base damage at level 1.

Gnar's Q has 5 base damage at level 1. Renekton's W also has 5 base damage at level 1.

They don't really have 5 base damage. Abilities with total AD scaling have base AD included in their base damage.

Gnar's Q has 5 base damage at level 1. Renekton's W also has 5 base damage at level 1.

Renekton's W scales with Total AD though.

if I had to guess probably Taric's Dazzle.

Actually harder then I thought. I was going to say Cassiopeia's Miasma, but that actually deals 100 damage- if they stand in it all day.

I think I win thou -- Yasou, Steel tempest

20 / 40 / 60 / 80 / 100

I think I win thou -- Yasou, Steel tempest

20 / 40 / 60 / 80 / 100

Steel Tempest has a 100% Total AD ratio tied to it though and it's an AA reset/bonus auto-attack rather than just an enhanced AA. Because of the total AD ratio the lowest bases it's ever going to have are 55/60/65/70/75 points higher than the skill's listed damage: or a minimum of 75/100/125/150/175 damage.

Still not amazing, but not the worst ever with that taken into account: as a few low-damage skills like Katarina's Shumpo, Rengar's Battle Roar, or Pantheon's Aegis of Zeonia do less.

well my skill that i thought of was Nidalee traps

40 / 80 / 120 / 160 / 200 with a .2 AP ratio.

this kill does nothing other than damage and procing hunted

and they have to be STEPPED on which is in an of it self very have to make them do (unless of course they just walk over them for kicks and then spam the laugh animation, just to troll you with how weak they are) (and YES that has happened to me on more than one occasion )

and like i have stated dozens of times.. procing hunted is useless unless nid is in a position to pounce in

so unless they step on the trap while nid is close enough to pounce in (which doesn't happen because you place them in bushes for scouting)

.. and they have low enough hp for nid to safely pounce in (which doesn't happen because the traps do no damage themselves and unless they happening to be trying to invade at low HP or nid happens to be invading them when thier at low HP AND the walk on a trap)

and they're not surrounded by teammates which would get nid killed if she pounced in

AND they are a squishy champ that nid can burst down.

so yeah if they meet all those criteria.. then procing hunted could be useful.

but i have played over 500 games as nid after this change alone and you wanna know how many times that has happened?

NEVER!!!!... not once...

so basically all nid traps do is 20 +.2 AP damage until nid is lvl 14

i would consider Nidalee to be the weakest skill in the game.

This is tough... Ashe Volley - extremely low base damage with average scaling Kindred Dance of Arrows - ok low base damage with extremely low scaling

Janna's Howling Gale. It's stupid hard to land. (Even though I'm completely happy with that. I hate Janna--no offense to any Janna Mains. (Are there Janna Mains? Is that a thing?) Just joking. Of course there are.)

It has nothing to do with damage, (though that is pitiful), just cast time and predictability. It's rather easy to dodge, and does very little unless another heavy CC champion, or Yasuo, is around to follow up on the miniscule opportunity made.

you have to consider both scaling and base damage in mind. can't think of any. most likely a utility spell that does some damage along the way. root stun slow something like that.

Sona's Q at level one has the base damage of 40, counting the aa enhancer it's like 60.

Her passive (if you want to count that one it's own, because it's bonus damage) does 13 bonus damage at level 1.
