When Karthus hits 40% playrate: The Top Boards Post

##"Why does a lategame hypercarry have a guaranteed chance of hitting lategame?" **I am sick and tired of seeing this Champion in my games. Karthus ** I want him gutted. I want his playrate to be far below that of any time in the past. I never want to see this cancer in my games again. He has so many problems with his kit that I want to kill myself every time I face one. I even get pissed off when he's on my team because I feel like I'm just getting a free win. And no, I can't ban him, because Yasuo is also STILL broken and Riot needs to nerf him too. But that's the topic for another post. First of all, why the hell does Karthus get to farm at a safe range when he's a lategame hypercarry? I should be able to shut him down in lane phase, but no, he just sits back and Q's minions. Not only that, but he gets mana for doing so. Nasus, a balanced lategame Champion, actually runs out of mana and has to go to base when he runs out. No. Karthus can keep farming indefinitely. I LITERALLY CANNOT MAKE KARTHUS RUN OUT OF MANA. HE HAS TO MAKE HIMSELF RUN OUT OF MANA, AND IF HE'S GOOD, THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. If I try to trade with him and push him out of lane or kill him, he just puts down his wall and I'm slowed to an ants crawl. Why the hell does he get such a massive, undodgeable slow on his kit? Veigar's wall takes some time to emerge, but no, Karthus can just put down an instant wall that slows you and has enough width to slow your ganking jungler too. It's not even worth ganking a Karthus, since he's under turret 100% of the time, he can slow the jungler and me, and even if we get to Karthus he still has Flash. If I can still miraculously get to him after he Flashed away, he can Exhaust me and walk away while spamming laugh. It is simply too hard to kill Karthus. Remove his wall, decrease the range of his Q, and decrease his base health so that his mistakes are more punishable. That will be the start of making Karthus a balanced Champion.

Secondly, I touched on this briefly in my last paragraph, but he needs to lose his mana passive. It is completely unfair that he gets mana when he kills things. His Q does so much damage and is basically a guaranteed kill on any minion, so he has basically unlimited mana during laning phase. In fact, his Q starts to refund more mana than it costs after enough points in Defile. It's sickening how overloaded this Champion is.

Thirdly, why does he have global undodgeable damage? Who the hell thought this ultimate was healthy? Jinx, Ezreal, Draven, etc. all have SKILLSHOTS for their ultimates. When they hit level six, if they see a low hp enemy top lane, they can't just get a free kill. They have to AIM. Karthus doesn't have to aim. He just gets five targeted orbital lasers to nuke everyone. Does this seem in any way fair? A hypercarry that can get guaranteed kills, possibly double kills or triple kills, just by hitting level six? You can't even stop him. He can just stand in the fountain and ult if he wants to. There's no purpose even laning against him, because you can't stop him from getting free farm with Q and getting free kills with R. Might as well lane duo top and try to snowball your top laner.

Lastly, his lategame. I know that this is core to Karthus and he should be able to do well in lategame teamfights. However, I still think he's doing a bit too well in them. His Q does way too much damage for such a low cooldown spell, and he can even cast it while dead, so even if you target him, he can manage to get a kill or two with his absurd Q damage, then kill another person while being untargetable, then finish off the rest of the team with R. Furthermore, his build path is naturally tanky, so he lasts at least five seconds even when everyone is focusing him. More if he uses Exhaust. What Karthus needs is a total rework. Nothing is healthy about him in this state. He's too safe, he gets too much free gold, he's too tanky, and even though I realize he's supposed to be good in teamfights, he is just a bit too good in them. Riot favoritism at its finest, tbh. Overload this Champion with everything and leave others like Cassiopeia with nothing. I literally can't even play Cassiopeia anymore because Karthus does everything Cassiopeia does but better.

And I know the Riot fanboys and Karthus mains/fotm abusers are gonna downvote, but I don't care. I am just sick and tired of seeing him in every single game murdering everyone on the opposing team.

Day 43: Riot still doesn't give a shit.

Also people finally notice he's bugged and the front page is filled with complaints about how his E seems to not land a pretty sizable portion of the time, and how the hitbox is inconsistent, and how his Q doesn't trigger his empowered auto when pulled if an enemy is standing right on top of it, or how the taunt sometimes doesn't force their aggro.

If Xerath gets to 40% pick rate, then you can bet Ziggs will be 40% pick rate too, with Velkoz Orianna and Viktor not too far behind.

The end result would be ADC mains joining Melee mains in complaining about "excessively long range champions" and wave clear. Anyone who suggested picking an assassin against such champions would be down voted and have explained to them all the reasons assassin's are weak against such champions. There'd be complaints about games lasting longer than 30 minutes. There would be cries to remove mana items from the game all together, and force mages to rely on base mana...

Hey, guys, I really love this game. In fact, I love this game so much that I decided to completely give up on having a real life so I could stop wasting time and just play this 24/7, but right now, I decided that I actually really hate this game. It was really fun, but then this one champion came out and ruined literally every aspect of the game. That's right, Anivia : the cancer phoenix. Firstly, her q is a MASSIVE AOE STUN that has a VIRTUALLY GLOBAL RANGE, so that means that she can stun an ENTIRE TEAM at once with literally ONE button! And the worst part about it is that it lasts for about 1.5 SECONDS! THAT'S MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME FOR Yasuo TO SHOOT A TORNADO AT US, WHICH HAS MORE THAN ENOUGH DAMAGE TO KILL US ALL IN ONE SHOT! AND THAT'S ONLY ONE ISSUE WITH THIS FREELO GARBAGE! Secondly, her w can COMPLETELY BLOCK AN ENTIRE TEAM in a pit, where her brain-dead ADC would just shoot us all while we have to just sit there and accept our fate. What's the cooldown for such an overloaded ability, you might ask? Well, IT'S ONLY 20 SECONDS! WHAT IS THAT, RITO!? THIS IS AN ULT TIER ABILITY, AND YOU TREAT IT LIKE TEEMO'S W!? OH, BUT THERE'S STILL MORE! I'm going to revisit her already completely busted q for a second, so sorry for reminding you of that disease. When she lands it, her e is guaranteed to CRIT, AND IF SHE'S FAR AHEAD ENOUGH, IT COULD ONE-SHOT A TANK! AND IT'S GUARANTEED TO HIT! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! But that's not all, we still have the ultimate. Now her ultimate is completely balanced in the way that IT CAN SUCK AWAY ALL OF YOUR HEALTH IN SECONDS AND ONLY HAS A 6 SECOND CD! DID I MENTION THAT ITS AN AOE ABILITY!? IT ALSO APPLIES AN INSANE SLOW TO EVERYONE IN ITS RADIUS! THE ONLY COUNTER IS TO REPOSITION, BUT THAT MIGHT MAKE YOU DIE IF YOU AREN'T GOOD AT THAT! Finally, there's her passive. You thought you could kill even after you made it past her ridiculous amount of busted CC effects? Well, you're wrong, because she gets a FREE Guardian's Angel! Why does everyone else have to PAY THEIR HARD EARNED CASH to get one when she gets one FREE from 00:00!? THAT'S DUMB! It also gives her all of her mana and health back, so it's also an instant b. The only counter is the fact that she can't move for 6 seconds, but even that doesn't save her from being completely broken because Yasuo can jump out of a bush and 100-0 you instantly, letting Anivia escape with no penalty. Please gut this garbage, or else I'll eat the cat food I have in my pantry. It'll be funner than facing this gamebreaking bird-brain.

Oh great, her autos can aoe! Just make her push all the way to the nexus man! She can get free mana just standing tanking skillshots?! Gut this shit it has no counterplay! SHE CAN MAKE HER ENTIRE TEAM MOVE FASTER?! ASSASSIN META HERE TO STAY BOYS1!11!

Lux

"Why is this champion allowed to exist? She's out here literally making four roles toxic. She's making mid lane toxic because nobody except Vel'koz and maybe Xerath can lane against her. She's making bot lane toxic because she pairs so well with half the ADC roster, has an undodgeable poke spell that deals a lot of damage, and has waveclear and pushing power for days. She's even making jungle toxic because I have to Smite secure all my buffs so she doesn't steal them from a million range. And then she steals the Baron from over the wall with no risk of dying. As a fucking support. Or a mid laner. Doesn't matter, we can never win a 50/50 at Baron or Dragon if Lux's ult is available. Which it always is, because it doesn't have a fucking cooldown.

And the first time you play against a comp of Gnar top/any AD jungle/Yasuo mid/any auto-based ADC/Lux support, you're going to think the first four champs got passive lifesteal added to their kits. The fourth or fifth time, you'll realize it's because Lux is a toxic champion who builds Ardent Censer and makes her team able to heal themselves for all their health."

When Elementalist Lux first launched, you wouldn't believe the amount of Lux bans thrown my way...

Aatrox hits 40% pickrate

BREAKING NEWS This just in, pick rates for the worst League of Legends champion have hit a record high. In an interview with XxDarkinLegendxX, one of the six Aatrox mains left after his complete gutting back in early March, the following was said:

"The community as a whole praised the Aatrox changes before they went live, expecting that he would become a much better champion. They were wrong though, and as his winrate kept plummeting even after some small buffs, a mantra began to arise. 'Make Aatrox average again.' That was something that resonated with people. Players from around the globe started playing Aatrox, and started feeding, losing, in an attempt to make Riot finally understand how bad the changes really were. This has been going on for some time now, but quietly in the shadows. Until today, when Jeremy 'Gaming Curious' (I know I spelled it wrong, it's a joke) made a video calling all League players to action with his 'Aatrox's Future Potential Update Ideas' video in which he spent 20 minutes talking about how Aatrox would be a really cool champion if they just gave him Jax's abilities with Darius' animations. Then after this he called everyone to 'smash that ass like button' and go feed on Aatrox so Riot take notice."

"It just makes me so happy" he continued, "that people care enough to do what I've been doing for 3 years, which is feed on Aatrox every game."

At this point, XxDarkinLegendxX began to choke up and asked to be excused from the interview.

Well, there you have it folks, go out and feed on Aatrox so Riot can make him average again.

Udyr OH MY GOD YOU CAN'T RUN AWAY FROM HIM HE'S SO FAST give him a ranged spell and get rid of his movement speed and stun and shield! Kassadin Way too much mobility and his slow is way too strong. If he didn't have R on a two second CD {at level 16 with a huge stacking mana cost} he'd be balanceable.
