Only 1000s, what a pleb.

Real AP yis would hit 2000 heals per tick.

Remember when rengar's ult had no exclamation mark so you would literally die out of nowhere?

Vistha KaiAug 3, 201623 votes

You still die out of nowhere, though.

kile147Aug 3, 201623 votes

You get half a second warning to get in a last minute prayer.

Or open the shop to save time.

Vistha KaiAug 3, 20167 votes

I suppose, that's true.

I'm still puzzled, why I'm being downvoted.

i wasnt playing when that was around lucky me i guess

Vistha KaiAug 3, 20163 votes

But than I remember this.

Why, though? It still had more counterplay, that any of the bullshits we get right now.

TequilaZombieAug 3, 20168 votes

So much counterplay to have one of your teammates who were at 50% HP one shot ennabling him to reset his CDs. And since you've been hit by his Q as well you get one shot now. And now it's your tanky team mates who are dying. Ohh look, a penta in 3 Q's.

I'd take a tank ekko, tank fizz and a fed rengar in the enemy team over a fed AP Yi any time.

Vistha KaiAug 3, 20162 votes

His Q costed a lot of mana (still does) and he was getting shit on by anybody with hard CC.

He was getting pentas... in Silver ELO at best. Back when being Gold had any meaning to it.

Supreme Senpai69Aug 4, 20161 votes

Hard CC counters literally everybody, that's what it does. If a champion's only weakness is something that works against everybody then there is balance concerns there

Vistha KaiAug 4, 20161 votes

CC doesn't work in the same manner on every champion.

For example it does nothing against Malzahar_(thanks cancer passives)_ or Olaf, while a stray knock-about removes Shyvana from a teamfight.

Supreme Senpai69Aug 5, 20161 votes

I don't think it's very fair to use them as an example. Isn't Malz getting like, super nerfed on the PBE too though? Kinda off topic but I think I saw that. Anyway a knock up would remove most people from a teamfight too. Mostly melee champions. A stun would remove everybody except for an Olaf that has ult but that's what his ult does so it's not very fair to use that as an example I don't think.

Samflash3Aug 4, 20161 votes

I still remembered when I complained about Yi 2 years before the AP Yi meta but got downvoted like crazy.

CasterGilgameshAug 3, 20163 votes

those where dark times when leblanc was strong

Vistha KaiAug 3, 20162 votes

LeBlanc what?

Did you actually play back then? You could push her under tower and keep her there until the end, because of how awful she was at doing anything to minions, if she maxed Q, which was her only way to kill people.

She had 45% winrate, too.

CasterGilgameshAug 3, 20161 votes

she was strong to me she always manage to delete me under the tower before i could even cast a spell

ARequestOfDeathAug 3, 20162 votes

yi did it better

Nobody1111Aug 3, 20161 votes

yeah, but a good leblanc didn't farm minions she farmed champions was the phrase I remember from the time. she wasn't too strong but she was utterly oppressive in the way that she could just deny you from playing

Vistha KaiAug 3, 20162 votes

Yes, she was "farming champions", because her minion farming capabilities were simply atrocious and in the end she was always ended up starving her own team.

We are still talking about a champion that had average CS lower by 100 on average. Having 10 kills didn't even come close.

B1naryB0tAug 3, 20163 votes

Well, it does... 1 kill is roughly 15 cs. Plus you got more experience, and you force them from lane, denying them gold and experience. But mathematically, 10 kills > 100 cs in a pure gold and experience viewpoint too.

Vistha KaiAug 4, 20161 votes

It may be true now, but it sure wasn't in the past, since repeatedly killing one champion over and over made them worth less and less gold, to the point a champion was worth 50 gold after... how many deaths was it... 6? - which was pretty much always less than 2 minions - and then the bounty wouldn't reset, until that champion got a kill.

It was way after LeBlanc got the rework, that for every assist and 1k gold earned, champion's death bounty would be reduced by 1.

Not to mention that LeBlanc had to roam pretty much all the time, to get that gold, meaning that even if she killed somebody, they still weren't losing that much XP, compared to LeBlanc anyway.
