Unpopular opinions thread

I think the lore is moving in a good direction and the TUs are improvements 99% of the time.

I think that if you should almost never forfeit regardless of how bad it looks, and there is no excuse ever (in-game) for afk'ing. It's clear that many just /ff the second they get the chance if they're behind 5 kills, but you still have a chance even behind 25 kills; and even if you have 1 afk and 1 raging feeder on your team that's not good enough reason to afk as well and ruin the game even more for the remaining people.

Fizz is OP, and anyone who says otherwise are Fizz players who want his broken status to remain.

Essence Reaver is a decent item on some champs.

Urgot is op.

I think Riven's Kit is OP and Old Sion was better.

Most of the items that are considered bad aren't, they're just more situational than the generally strong items. For example, Executioner's Calling isn't slot efficient but it's pretty cost efficient and it means you can get by without Ignite vs heavy healers.

I love Teemo's play style.

I think critplank mid is the most fun champ to play.

Also, rageblade is a good item (not on gp tho).

I like new Karma better

Lulu is the best ADC!

Lee Sin and Yasuo haven't been OP for months, and picking them in soloq is pretty stupid.

Jax was balanced before his most recent nerfing.

Tristana is pretty mediocre after her most recent nerfs.

Jayce is one of the strongest solo laners in the game.

Korea is better because they work harder, and as long as the best NA pros continue to stream enough to get appreciable revenue, treat taking single games off of better teams as moral victory, and compete exclusively with other NA teams for 90% of the year, the gap is only going to widen. Also, the 3/5 rule is bullshit.

Guinsoo's Rageblade is fun for hypercarry's

I think Azir is a very strong champion

I think Xypherous is a terrible designer and needs to be fired for the health of this game.

I don't think Clarity is useless.

I didn't think was useless after the first rework. (Before passive change. I miss energize.)

Riot's design principles make sense and their game design posts are generally consistent, with some exceptions.

Skarner is super broken.

: Who did u say 2 focus? : Kat. She's 13 and 2. : it's no use she's invincible : Oh really? : Presses R : Presses R

SHUT DOWN!

: OMFG WTF SKARNER OP RITO NERF PLS

All champions are viable in solo queue in the correct situation. Yasuo and Zed are really easy to lane against. Alistar's Headbutt, Malphite's Ult, and Mundo's Cleaver, Malzahar's Ult, and Warwick's Ult are the most annoying skills in the game. I think Sweeper's cooldown needs to be reduced. Pink wards aren't a good investment. Morgana's ingame model needs an update. Her splash is fine, but looks nothing like the model. Speaking of splash arts, Riot really doesn't need to redo EVERY CHAMPION'S splash art and I kinda think it's a waste of their time. I think AP is slowly falling out of meta and if Season 5 were to not happen, the team comp would be all AD except for one AP utility support.

Lichbane makes Lux very cool.

are broken. It doesnt matter how hard I shit on them in lane. It doesnt matter how hard I spam "MIA". It doesnt matter how hard I roam to try and stop them. I ward. I counter build. I focus in team fights.

Doesn't matter. They always get fed. They always carry.

Annie's kit needs to be looked at. Leblanc and Talon both had their silences removed because Riot decided it was anti-fun that they bursted you while you couldn't fight back. Depending on the ability she uses, Annie's stun is roughly as long range as Talon's old silence, lasts longer, and prevents all action instead of just spell casts. And Annie is easily as bursty as talon.

Riot says they want all champions to have rich, dynamic counterplay. Literally the only counterplay to annie is to stay out of her range. If Riot is fine with that, I'm fine with it, but, then, I don't understand why LB and talon had their silences removed.

Riot undervalues and worships mobility which kickstarted the assassin meta and is the cause for every questionable balance move they made in league of legends and will remain so until they realize that mobility is the single most important stat a unit can have and balance champions accordingly.

Maining a role/champion literally only works in the higher tiers on ranked.

Less people up there means its easier to be sectioned into a role/champion.

Try that in <Gold, and you're basically coming off as "I don't want to play any other champion/role other than this and I'm going to come off as a petty, non-teamplaying dick."

I like Cassiopeia better post-rework (this one gets me raged at a lot :S)

I think blood moon Akali is the WORST skin in the game, I can't stand it. One, it looks like Vladimir (red flow-y robe, white thing on head, silver things coming off of arms) and i hate Vladimir . Second, her mask is up. Shens mask is down, why isn't hers? I have noticed that for some reason this game likes showing females faces a lot... like they made a skin for Kayle that literally is just her without the helmet. It would be a decent skin if mask was down.

TL;DR: I hate things with no counterplay outside of delaying your build and falling behind.

Amumu may need some attention. Blitzcrank needs reworked (Q is "feast or famine" either you hook someone and wreck them, or don't and nothing.) Annie needs her Ratios reduced (Seen too many Annies build AP bruiser and still nuke faces.) Mundo needs reworked (obscene ult healing, and is not fun to play against if he's support. Also near-permaslow Q.) Fiddlesticks needs reworked (Fear is a click, Silence is also ridiculous) Fiora (they talked about it, but still dat ult.) Fizz needs nerfs (Kit is overloaded, especially for trollpole and by far one of the most mobile champs in the game) Kayle (Ult is too long and instant) Kha'zix (Isolation range is still too damn small) Leona (Ult range distance needs nerfed, but that's all I can think of. Seems fine otherwise) Malzahar needs reworked (due to Ult with no counterplay) Maokai (extremely good engage in twisted Advance. Ultimate has too much hidden power for team.) Master Yi (Too fast.) Morgana (Q is too punishing. E might also be too good. Also shouldn't proc spellthief/frostfang more than once on W) Nasus (free ADC exhaust button) Nidalee (still same issues as before rework: Spear chunks. Now her Takedown chunks too. Nocturne (Nigh-unstoppable ganks. Way too good at his job.) Nunu needs reworked (not seen much, but AP support just Q's all day for tons of damage.) Orianna's ball needs to stop body-blocking minions (if it hasn't been fixed yet.) Pantheon (needs early power shifted into late.) Poppy (I know it's coming, but still.) Ryze (W is a free root. Probably needs a rework since he either sucks the whole game or 1v5's an enemy team without being vastly fed.) Shaco (Also ridiculous ganks. Generally cannot see coming, or he just destroys your pink.) Swain (too much sustain) Talon may need some buffs (or a rework) but his silence should never come back. Teemo (nevermind that's everyone.) Thresh (could do no damage and still be viable on vast utility.) Udyr (Either can't escape or can't chase. Too much safety) Veigar needs reworked (due to nuketacular ult of can't dodge this and insta stun cage forever if within X units of Veigar) Vladimir (builds tanky/damage and gets damage/tanky on top of his great sustain) Volibear (W chunks really hard for building no damage) Warwick needs reworked (due to Ult and Blood Scent) Zilean (Q has too good a ratio, and is free poke.)

DoT effects shouldn't proc Rylai's and Liandry's forever. Looking at you Mordekaiser and your 10 second slow and liandry burn. Bruisers do too much damage with one damage item. Thresh is a better ban than Braum (at least braum you can just run away so they can't proc. Thresh if he hits won't let you go. There's also his lantern) Soraka and Sona are both viable champions (I've played games as them and won, and not because of a dumb enemy team.) AP Varus works (tried queuing in Team Maker as Mid Varus Mage. Kicked out or room disbanded.) Clarity is good on ARAM.

-Yes those are a ton of opinions I have that no one likes or very few like. -Yes, a lot of those are stopped by Quick Silver Sash, but you have to delay your build a ton (1550 gold), gives no offensive stats, and is a dead end item for APCs. -Banshee's Veil? Pfft, someone else will just pop it with an ability (I like destroying it with Sona Q, Shyvana E, or Amumu E) And now where is it? Also similar issue as QSS (expensive, delays build a lot, no offensive stats.) -Team member stop them? They'll just bide their time.

Adc's do so(too) much damage they are mages with half second cooldowns.

I hated Urf

Surrpresses should be made uncleanseable though broken through cc yasuo needs to lose his double crit singed is toxic to the game

I think Braum is one of the weakest supports out there.

We shouldn't bring back Urf because since everyone already knows all the OP champion's and strategies it wouldn't be the same fun. Kind of like how if you play SSBM to much you can longer play it casually with your friends.

Reworked Sion is better than the old Sion.
