Just another complaint post about CertainlyT.

Won't be as toxic as some people on here.

But honestly if you consistently design and release champs that are anti-fun to play against, have bullshit mechanics and have to be reworked to get their kit shredded a month or two after they're released.. You probably shouldnt be designing champs anymore.

True stealth, on a hybrid scaling assassin with 2.5 dashes, a microstun, and endless sustain through a 3 second ability.

I know for a fact there are multiple levels of hard working individuals that have to approve this before it gets the final "release" button. How does something like that make it through? It's baffling to me.

Then to not even put her on the balance patch notes? I get you want to see her played in worlds, but that means the other 99.999999% of your playerbase still has to keep her perma-banned, or dodge every game she's picked in.

The problem with CertainlyT's champion designs is that he can make unique champions which are fun to play but the issue is that his champions are immensly frustraiting to fight against making it a one sided enjoyment.

If he can just find a way to make his champions not super frustraiting to fight against or hell put limitations on what he can do like the WW rework then it would be fine

You forgot to mention Graves . Nothing better than getting deleted in 2 auto's while being blind from his W.

People complain about " anti fun to play against " but isnt every character antifun if they get ahead? I found it pretty antifun playing against enchanters in the ardent meta. I found the lethality meta pretty unfun. ADC meta etc. Tell me one champ you enjoy playing against. Cause tbh every single one frustrates me in different ways.

Sounds like a "you" problem, not a certainly t problem.

honestly, i don't see how anyone has fun with CT's champions, simply because they are always perma banned (Yasup, Zoe, Akali, Etc..) when they aren't banned i'm sure they're fun to play, but they're banned like 50%+ of the time (at least in low elo) it just seems like that makes them less fun to try to main..

Because, by nearly every single method of measuring it, she's not OP.

58% winrate on people with 80+ games on her. 47% winrate overall (only exception being in LCS/worlds, where she's only really going to be played by people good with her). High skill floor champion with an above-average skill ceiling. That's pretty standard for a decently high-skilled champion.

Is her shroud annoying to deal with? Yeah, it is. Is any part of her actually OP? Not really. Maybe a tad bit too strong, but there's a difference between OP, too strong, and bad design.

Also, Akali isn't really hybrid scaling. She has decent AD ratios on an AP assassin, but isn't what I'd consider hybrid. She goes AP with a bit of AD from Gunblade and a potential GA, and can theoretically go full AD with a Gunblade, but isn't really "hybrid", because there's just not really any items (outside of Gunblade) that would support a hybrid assassin build, and she doesn't really pick up any lethality items, or any other items an AD assassin would buy (except for, again, her theoretical GA, although most people would just get a Zhonya's instead anyways), unless she's actually going with the incredibly rare full AD build. A better term for Akali is "AP assassin that doesn't completely waste AD".

Honestly, Akali isn't as bad as people make her out to be. Much better than before, as well.

Riot doesn't want a balanced game because they want to appeal to casual players who will only generate short term income rather than appealing to their core player base.

Just another reminder its the low elo balance team that makes the champs broken bc they do all the numbersnot him. And for people saying you don't have to be high elo to balance the game, please explain the last 3 seasons of shit. They're so bad they cant even balance champs with linear kits.

They finally made stealth somewhat not completely toxic only to immediately break it again
