*People who started playing in season 4 and onwards.

Although it's been a while since we had such a horrible patch like 5.16.

People keep whining about Vayne every other game. They don't remember Caitlyn in every single game end of season 3.

being able to stack head shot stacks on turrets and just constantly being under turret the entire game while she stacked headshots and would use her ridiculous range to head shot poke you then run out of turret range and repeat until shes at your nexus. Shit sucked man.

This is still better than league of black clever. I think this is where my hatred for Rengar, Talon, and Pantheon truly began.

Or Release Nasus who was hotfixed in a couple of hours because his ult was coded as 1 AP does 1% of targets max health for his AoE damage around him that ticks every second

proceed to get 100 AP and do 100% of enemies total health every second as you walk around them

You'd need a bit more AP to actually instakill everyone due to MR, but yeah, that was probably the most broken skill in the game outside of a couple of interaction bugs.

Permaban Kass. I don't know half his abilities or why he's permabanned, but I'mm be dammed if I let him through

good times. Good times.

Tails DollSep 1, 20154 votes

I remember those times. I think the second time I played ranked people yelled at me for not banning Kass, and I was like... Eh why?

Then enemy team picked him.

Such mistakes never happened to me ever again...

I still remember the joke threads about how we only had 5 bans.

So, no one remembers how broken LB was that she was hotfixed 2 HOURS AFTER BEING RELEASED?

SHE WOULD ONE SHOT YOU WITH QW AT LVL 2

AND YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT ANYTHING EVER?

QW would be a two shot.

Remember when Rengar could go AP or AD and kill anybody who wasn't a full tank in under .2 seconds.

Oh wait nevermind It's still the same.

Luden's Echo took ap rengar from a memory to a scary reality.

ComannderShepardSep 1, 20156 votes

I think the game feels pretty balanced right now. There is definitely a lot of champions that can be considered "viable" nowadays in ranked and even more so if you like playing the underrated ones

Tails DollSep 1, 20152 votes

I think the problem we now have is that "When everything is OP, NOTHING IS".

Which I think is Riot balance policies right now...

WHAT IS AN AUTOATTACK?! WHAT IS A TURRET?!

Duchess of DeerSep 1, 20154 votes

been playing since late season 2 and to be honest a devour xin/yi could do just about the same as release xin

when people say the game has never been more unbalanced its not that one thing is specifically overbearing. It's more that everything is over bearing what is the point of playing a squishy anymore when a tanky skarner/garen/darius have the same effect. Why play ADC when you can just face roll with shyvanna

Braum release, never forget.

Clapper of AssesSep 1, 20158 votes

Braum was not even that bad, Zyra could legit 1v2 bot lane her ap ratios were dumb af and her plant shot like shaco boxes (speed wise)

GorgannanSep 1, 20151 votes

Eh, Braum was PRETTY strong, if not broken. I remember playing MF with a braum, and having 11 kills and being at the inhib turret at 13 minutes.

KnalxzSep 1, 20152 votes

You know what I think is weird? How no one said nothing about release Xin in years and when Keyori says it once in a video everyone starts talking about it in relation to OP champions of the past.

It makes me wonder if he just reminded you guys of it or if you're just someone who's trying to act like you really know what's up. I only played league for a year, I have no clue what release Xin was like, but I'm sure there's videos of it somewhere on youtube.

GorgannanSep 1, 20152 votes

It's true. Skarner before the hotfix was Xin levels. Zyra was xin levels. Kass in season 3 or 4 (can't remember) was about the same.

Although I've never seen a full Keyori video because he's like an unfunny Dunkey.

Kassadin TwistedFate even Jax

Reaper SorakaSep 1, 20151 votes

Wasn't Xin Zhao able to be banned? Kassadin was banned for like 90% of games for a long time, I'd imagine it would be the same scenario...

powerbatsSep 1, 20151 votes

You can beat Jax sitting in your fountain killing you and dodging the super laser permanently.

Release Vayne was pretty bad also, but not as bad as others.

Hourglass Jax. I think that happened a month or two after I started playing.

AutoreactiveCD4Sep 1, 20151 votes

League of Assassin's (season three) and the time your jungle options were Lee Sin and anyone who wouldn't get crushed by Lee. There weren't a lot of champions that could.

I started late season 2 but I've heard there were worse times before that.

Edit: How did I forget league of Black Cleaver?

Tomare Toki YoSep 1, 20151 votes

Evelyn and stacking sunfires? The invisible flames that would kill you and you wouldn't even know it was her.

Bard in a DiaperSep 1, 20151 votes

release xin was nothing, not even in my top 10 as some one who's played since beta.

SwapShadowsSep 1, 20151 votes

Prime kassadin was the scariest tbh

literally goes in a 1v5 instakills someone then uses zhonyas and r's right out as his team goes in and he repeats this process but without zhonyas.

GorgannanSep 1, 20151 votes

This recent Skarner update was, in my eyes, equal to release Xin. That's as close to a taste that we're going to get again.

Top 10 most broken... Yasuo Riven Katarina Leblanc Heimerdinger Darius Fizz LeeSin Teemo Mordekaiser Darius in particular. 'Hi, we're Rito Games! We invented one game total, but still called ourselves Rito GameS. Anyway, in our singular game, we have a particularly broken person. His name is Darius. He has a large axe that makes people wet themselves. The damage he outputs is amazing! Not to mention the extra true damage from bleeding. So, down to business. This is patch... 5.17, we think? Anyway, we wanted to make 40% more players ragequit and uninstall. So, we gave Darius a buff! Good news! He's now even more broken! But we're not fixing him at all, simply because we like to state that "The dunk is real!" and therefore he can't be negatively altered in any way, shape or form. Good luck all you top-laners!'
