What are the most annoying champs to deal with to you?

Astrox3·Apr 24, 2015·2 votes·1,394 views

I don't necessarily mean "most OP champ" but just plain freakin horrible to play against. What makes me want to uninstall asap:

Riven with cdr runes + cdr boots (I love playing against any dmg riven, but these damn cdr rune rivens)
Udyr after 25 minutes (2 times I honestly tried to quit league because of unkillable, uncatchable, splitpushing Udyrs)
Shaco, played by a shaco main
Leblanc

What do you guys hate most?

Edit: I'd have to add Jinx to this list after reading the comments, but I think for me it's just jinx "in her current state". If she gets a proper nerf (and not just that ulti nerf....) she's ok for me. The other 4 from my lost bother me in their whole concept, I can't even think of a realistic nerf that would make them less annoying.

Edit2: How did I forget Katarina?

Jayce and Nasus. They have no great real counters.

L33K SenpaiApr 24, 20153 votes

Nasus can be CCed to death. As long as you keep the early game harass and the end game CC - you've got Nasus shut down.

You can CC any champion in the game to death. Not really a counter considering that Nasus is a tanky champion. Early game suppression sure helps though.

But consider Nasus's true mobility. No escape or gapclosers besides a slow that Master Yi would laugh at. Other champions like Sejuani or Kha'zix can leap from CC to safety. Even with Nasus's tankiness - Last Whisper and BoRK along with high damage would put his armor to shambles. Above that mages can usually burst down Nasus because Nasus's tend to build armor vs MR. And even if he were to go hybrid defenses; his defenses would not be enough to handle to incoming sources of damage.

There are many champions in the game that are melee range and have no gapclosers. Nasus's Wither is not what I would think of a slow to laugh at (Talon holds that crown), since it's actually really strong. Master Yi can use his ultimate to avoid a slow, but he doesn't have any CC. Probably not the greatest comparison.

The only way to shut down nasus is to end the game fast. It doesn't matter what you do he is going to get his stacks. You can deny him farm early and he is still going to stack. You haven't shut him down, only slowed him down. Camp his lane and he is still just slowed. Ending is how you shut him down.

Annie. I hate her. I hate her damage and CC and her insta killing my entire team.

Le CheesieApr 24, 20152 votes

As a support main.. Blitzcrank and Jinx. I hate both of these champions, not because I'm bad and can't handle them, but because both of them can get back into a game easily even after losing lane.

Hinro HonatoApr 24, 20152 votes

Vel'koz support - Sooooo much hate for this eyeball tentacle monster. He only ever shows up when I'm trying to cass support. Literally every single time. Bard - Don't worry team, I'm going to ult the enemy nexus turrets so they can't kill us. oh hey the enemy team respawned. Aced. no please x.x yorick - He's just so damn boring to play against. throw out some ghosts then run away. And that is the entirety of laning. fuck yorick. And lastly master yi who isn't an idiot and your team is lacking in hard cc. He's going to kill you all, it's just a matter of when.

LeBlanc, Nidalee and Corki.

I hate LeBlanc's pattern of jumping in, dealing damage, then instantly disappearing again. There is very little counterplay to this, since it happens pretty much as fast an the LeBlanc player can mash the keys. Not exactly riveting to play against.

Corki is able to burst you down so quickly. Why is he able to fire rockets so constantly from far away? More of an annoyance really, but playing against a Corki is quite painful, and it doesn't disappear later into the game either.

I hate Nidalee probably the most. Her kit is so overloaded that it is unbelievable that it even got through testing. They gave her a strong early game, fantastic harass, easy engage (Spear and pounce), Resets on a gapcloser for using it, good heals, attack speed steroids, good Jungle clear and mobility. Ontop of all this, all her abilities in cougar form cost no mana. Horribly designed champion. It's amazing the amount of players who think that her design philosophy is healthy.

Shaco but thats because thats his niche in the Meta. Mind games that frustrate someone if they get them wrong. Of course, a bad Shaco is a breeze to deal with because his "mind games" are terrible and easy to deal with. Long story short, a good Shaco is incredibly frustrating to deal with, a bad one is an ego boost. His early ganks are also pretty frustrating, but thats because his late game team fight contribution is minuscule overall.

Blitzcrank, as a support main.

'Why ban Blitz, you're just too bad to dodge his hooks!'

I've actually had games where we beat Blitz really hard in the bot lane, but one good hook into a teamfight in the lategame lost it for us. I just hate his potential.

I also hate how even a bad Jinx can splitpush and sometimes win the game. 'Lol let me just take your entire turret in one minion wave'

I'd say AD Fizz, Yasou, and Fiora.

AD Fizz is no more. Riot new about the stupidness of it after it happened. He's back to his wonderful ap self. Except if he lands a fish on you you're pretty much fucked.

It used to be Miss Fortune for me. Kiting wasn't all that bad back then, so when I ended up against a Miss Fortune it was a horrible time, because I never learned how to face heavy kiting properly.

Today it's Fiddlesticks...

Vlad. I get aids when im seeing him. (Intended) top and mid are my worst lanes and i cant win against vlad that is of somewhat equal skill, whatever i play. I just dont know how. Poke. Sustain. Escape. I wanna cry

i played heca, (with ignite TP) and rushed mercs -> phage -> spirit visage. im not good with heca but i was merely even (i didnt die in lane and got a kill on a TP gank but was behind ~15 cs) even though i played against a mid-gold player.

Blitzcrank Fizz Leblanc Poppy Nasus Riven Tryndamere Rumble

All of them are completely obnoxious for one reason or another and generally require you to completely change how you play. Especially in the case of Trynd and Nasus.

Also fed poppy is the most obnoxious no counterplay thing ever. If her early game weren't so bad I think she'd be super top tier.

AviousApr 24, 20151 votes

Zed Annie Shaco Although he sucks late game, his early game pressure is just too frustrating.

IcyPepperApr 24, 20151 votes

I don't enjoy dealing with Lee Song, mostly because it's difficult to punish him when he invades your jungle due to that ward hop.

But he's easy to deal with in-game, especially when he finally runs out of energy.

Yorick An annoying lane bully in top that falls off ten stories and becomes kind of useless, unless he ults the near-dead carry on his team and goes mana-sustain bruiser.

Leblanc Can trade pretty much for free with just about anyone, due to Q + R combo and doesn't really need the mark of malice to delete things later on in the game, so it just becomes free extra damage...

Taric Is actually the nastiest support i've ever seen, unavoidable stun, free armor, ability power, and attack damage for just sitting next to him, fuck-high tank scaling on that armor note, and the strongest heal in the game, hands down...laning hell at its finest...

Blitzcrank and Nidalee. These two champions, to me at least, can be absolute horrible at landing their skillshots, but if they just need to land one to decide an entire siege, fight, or game.

I pick these two mainly because it's these two where if I see they are the worst players ever, I still have to play like they are the best because they could be lucky. I know other champions can fall into this category, but these two are the worst offenders in my eyes.

Fiddle, because silence, fear drain. Doesn't give a **** about being one of the most squishy champs, he was drain

And that ult. Just nope. Insane aoe, does as much as a normal ult every second for FIVE ****ING SECONDS. Match that op sustain (does as much dmg as normal ability each second for 5 seconds) and insane cc with that, OP

****s on entire team Fiddlesticks pls

It really depends on where the champions are. I don't usually have issues laning against most champions, so the champions I find annoying are usually the ones I don't really trust my teammates to handle appropriately. i.e. Nasus, Riven, Blitzcrank, Poppy, Singed, Teemo, Shaco, etc.

I don't have issues playing against them myself, but a lot of players don't seem to actually know how to handle them and let them snowball.

I might consider adding Fiddlesticks to the list (people don't know how to ward or avoid facechecking him quite often), only I find him too hilarious and fun to play to do that.

T RexHasLongLegsApr 24, 20151 votes

I play a lot of Heimerdinger so the mot obnoxious to me are Leblanc because she can jump in and back before turrets can fire, Syndra because she kills two turrets at once, Tryndamere because he can dive me and I struggle to get away, but high damage isn't a deterrent to him like it is to most champs bc he can just ult if I was going to kill him before he can kill me, and Yasuo because a good one can stop 2 of my 3 ult options w/ wind wall.

I also don't like Jinx and Caitlyn mid and late game because they can auto my turrets from farther than my turret range so they stop my siege and defense without ever spending cool downs or resources.
