Some champs i think we're greatly designed, balanced, and overall a huge success to Riot!

Here's a top 5 list of champs that are huge successes to riot due to amazing design, concept, and balance-

Kicking it off at number five is Orianna. Great idea, having a champ have one ability that moves their other abilities positions. Good concept, she is fairly balanced (not op at all), and is overall a huge success to this game.

At number four, we have Taric after the recent changes. Taric is a champion who has great animations, a great effect to his team without being OP (he is quite balanced), and combines the concepts of saving, disrupting, and bringing that sense of security to his allies that other supports like Janna, Lulu, and Karma bring.

Then at number three, we have Taliyah. Taliyah is an extremely unique champions with a balance of disruption, damage, and durability while also creating many situations that benefit her and her team. She is a great champion with a great concept and great balance.

Taking the silver medal is Twisted fate, at number two. He is a great type of sorcerer that I honestly think is the most balanced champion in the league besides maybe Taliyah. He has great range, good mobility, and good power that helps him kill his target with various outplays and bursts. He is a good addition to league.

And finally at number one is a champion I quite enjoy playing- Zyra. Despite what many salty players may say, Zyra is balanced. She brings moderate sustain, high damage, great crowd control, and the potential to alter the whole enemy teams positioning and damage them simultaneously. Zyra is an extremely great all-around, and that's why she's number one.

Tell me what you thought about the list, or lists you might want to see next!

Not a bad list. I agree with orianna and id put twisted fate at number 1 actually. However I do feel like taliyah is under powered for sure. This is proven by her very little pick rate. Ive only played against 1 taliyah after her release week. And I definnitly think Zyra is too OP right now. Her kit is great and one i LOVE but the attack speed of her plants need dialed back. Ive played against countless zyras even zyra support with full support items and at the end of the game they always have the most damage delt to champs by a long shot. Ive never seen any other support consistenly do that and thats a clear reason as to why her plants do too much damage. Being able to do out damage everyone with no damage items is just over powered. But i must say her kit is amazing.

If I were to make a list of great design, kit, balance, and success; it would go like this:

Honorable mentions: Rumble, Sion, lee sin, lux, orianna

  1. Wukong
  2. Morgana (support)
  3. Ezreal
  4. New Ashe
  5. Twisted Fate

Tell me what ya think [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Agreed with Wukong and TF, not really Rumble and Morgana. I say this because their abilities don't make much sense with their champion. For example, Rumbles Tazers don't make sense, nor does Morgs root and shield. However, her other abilities are on point.

I agree maybe not rumble i guess i could put Vi or shyvana in rumbles place cuz her kit is well rounded.

Youre forgetting the number one villian this game has ever seen. Satan himself.

Yeah, Zyra's totally balanced, right guys?

Someone explain why Zyra is unbalanced. She's a utility Mage with some burst qualities, but overall lacks the damage to kill someone in the time frame other mages can kill someone in.

Lol. Pretty much this.

It's because whenever people talk about dynamic que they whine about competitive intergrity, whenever people talk about champion strength they talk about winrates, and zyra does well against disorganized teams.

In competitive she is contested only by NA which is fairly balanced, in solo que, well balance in solo que is vague, some people go by winrates, she's not balanced by those, some go by challenger/masters, she seems mostly fine there, some go by competitive anyway.

People are hypocritical and look for any excuse to claim a champion they lose to is op.

(In the case of zyra that's winrates.)

This is why you need to main Urgot. Leave them NO EXCUSES.

Rework Zyra is a monster and I do not like playing against her. I kind of miss old Taric too. He had it rough early, then became a raid boss who would think nothing of walking into a 1v5. One of the only tanks that could tank during the tank existential crisis. You will be missed buddy.

And Taliyah? I've seen, like, two. No, really. No one plays her.

Holy paranoid overreaction batman. I've responded to two of your posts in total, literally ever.

I didn't even realize there was one other one, in another thread that wasn't yours. Nor that said singular other post I replied to was even made by you. Nor am I the only one (of many people) who's responded negatively to posts you've made.

But I guess disagreeing with you more than once ever on popular threads makes someone a "stalker" LOL. Thank you for proving my point though mate, that you are legitimately insane.

Oops, this is my 3rd response to you... stalker status upgraded further. Lock me away please, before I get real obsessed and decide to play one of the same champs that you play in game or something else equally sick and twisted...

Like I said before, Piss off. Get over the argument and move on, because those "negative comments" you use as an excuse weren't nearly as toxic and poorly cared for as yours. End of story, go away.

Lol I don't even really know how to respond to this crazy kid...

Get over what argument? You still think I'm some kind of stalker or something. Sorry kid, I don't care enough to "stalk" you, cus you're a nobody. People make rude comments on here to poorly thought out posts. It happens, and you need to get over it and stop flattering yourself.

Thanks for a damn good laugh though.
