What is a champion you fell out of love with

Potato Doc·Jan 24, 2016·5 votes·960 views

We all have those champions we loved, be it our first, or maybe from our first penta kill. Have you just forgotten about them? Why did you move on from them?

Like my first favorite was mordekaiser, but I hardly play him anymore, im not sure when the change happened but those times in ARAM when I play him feels like a part of me that came alive again even for that brief game. But im not too keen on playing him on the rift since I now feel more comfortable with other champions

Katarina man, 5 pentas in 1 game, 1 triple in every game I've ever played with her, my true carry skills were shown, from carrying a heavy team from like 3-30 to 43-30, i literally had over 40 kills. Her damage is so weak now it's not even funny.

Instant burst, moveability, and immune to damage when doing so with her only downfall is being heavily cc'd and focused. I am glad she is gone. Just like Fiora's old set up I'm glad you've been hit by the nerf bat.

Poppy I played a ton of ap poppy she was the first champ I ever bought she gave me alot of things in life. More determination in what I believe to what others may think or say. A desire to be a blacksmith learning how to create and forge and really just how she reminds me of me.

I think she is still a great champion, but that feeling of honor and respect for family where she slaughters those in her path like death metal yordle she is haha :) rip ap pops

Katarina

I used to spam that honey against bots ALL day long, farming those E A S Y pentakills and getting called a cheater by my teammates. But when I was ready to finally play against people, I got S M A S H E D a ton of times by Annie , who, at the time used to be the weakest champion in the game, atleast that's what I thought because she was tiny and cute. I know right, the irony. :') Anyway, I started to understand that she required actual skill rather than blindly q e w r'ing anyone to be succesful, so I decided to pick up easier champs who were ranged and less easy to abuse early in lane.

I used to be all about some Aatrox but his obvious deficiencies just left me too frustrated.

Elise was a champion i used to enjoy greatly in her earlier days, but she's just started feeling weaker and weaker, and i haven't played her in a long time.

SyronosinJan 24, 20161 votes

Which is why she is heavily picked by the pros. She can still 1-100% someone and her ability to hard cc and mobility is still amazing.

MelondramaJan 24, 20162 votes

I'm assuming since he said "in her early days" he means he played her when she was originally strong then during that point when she was trash he stopped playing her. He probably knows she's strong now, he probably just moved on to other champions

MelondramaJan 24, 20161 votes

Teeto before i realized he's garbage outside of counterpicking top laners and even that's debatable considering his lack luster late game

SyronosinJan 24, 20161 votes

It is his lack of a true ult and he is midrange. He's completely useless during teamfights unless your team really works with you.

Ahri ... Extremely team reliant to carry a game. It doesn't matter how good you are, how fed you are, if your bot lane lost, Ahri will not carry the game. I feel completely irrelevant playing as her, not to mention she takes about 50x more skill to play than most meta mids right now.

She has the highest win rate of all mid laners right now.

IonianJan 24, 20161 votes

Yeah I know. Yet I see so many diamond/master Ahri mains struggling so hard to win games with her. I don't get it.

I've never really noticed. Then again, I don't watch streams.

IonianJan 24, 20161 votes

I have plenty of them in my friends list. I tend to spectate them and other high elo Ahri players featured in the client. They pretty much always lose or get carried.

doiminat0r3600Jan 24, 20161 votes

Her problem (as I see it) you can't carry unless you snowball someone else's lane. You have to in order to be able to do much with ahri. Its useless going in a team fight being able to hit everyone with 410 (or so) true damage. That isnt enough to do very much unless you're seriously fed.

Trundle . Dealt with one too many Lissandras and Ryzes in the top lane

Heimerdinger

Back when I first picked up League, Heimer was one of the first champs I bought. (Could have been the first, I'm not sure) Anyway, would laugh and smile and everything while playing him, and had so much fun... but now he's just kind of dull.

1 800 MID LANEJan 24, 20161 votes

The one that comes to mind here the most is definitely Cassiopeia. I used to love her because she was something that could out-damage everyone on the team if left unchecked. Then, I realized how bad she was in terms of what she did. Other mages do her job better, with a much more forgiving kit.

Jayce

He didn't change in terms of difficulty but he is now totally not significative enough to be played.

Janna Poke/shield supports aren't very good atm. Yeah she has CC but thats it really. Tanks are being praised (no problem with it because i like to play tanks) but it seems like there is too much bad you can do that would outweigh the good.

When I was new I loved Karthus. So after I was like level 18 or so I bought him. Then I realized I made a mistake.

BladeSteelJan 25, 20161 votes

Kogmaw. Before the rework I loved to play him but now I just don't have fun doing it. It lost its appeal to me.

Soraka i use to main her then i had a Soraka on the enemy team and i realized how annoying she actually is.

Akali Used to play this bitch nonstop, then she was bludgeoned to death with the nerf hammer

TurquoiseYoshiJan 25, 20161 votes

Gnar is the greatest. He's super viable in all metas, incredibly variable in build, and can make huge plays or just generally annoy the enemy. He can do everything and still look absolutely adorable.

Potato DocJan 25, 20161 votes

and you fell out of love with him?

Pre-rework he sucked, but was sooo much fun. His ult was one of the most hilarious abilities ever, and people freaking out when he would go super RNG and not die, just because people didn't even know what his passive did.

Then post rework, no traditional skin to my frustration, but he was surprisingly even more fun to play. Screaming minions at people, a shield bomb that you could actually detonate unlike the 4s one pre-rework, and dropping the beat all over fools.

4 patches of nerfs later and he just isn't fun anymore. His E feels weak, his W makes me feel like I'm lagging and is almost impossible to detonate again. It's frustrating.

He was my most played champ for a while, but I just don't enjoy him anymore. Bright side, the nerfs killed his jungling which was the point of them all, so yay, I guess.

I played Ekko a ton on release, even after his first round of nerfs. They just kept nerfing him out of viability, especially as an AP mid. The biggest thing for me, as dumb as it sounds, was the 25 range loss on his ult. I swear, it's caused me to miss my ult more then I'd like to admit.

I feel really bad about leaving goat-lady Soraka by the wayside as she's the first champion I ever bought. I don't really play her much as support anymore though. It's not necessarily because I don't like playing as her, but after I started playing Nami frequently I figured that I have more fun playing as someone who can land stuns more easily, do damage AND heal, than as a champion that's essentially a healbot.

I usually end up picking Sona when I get a matchup that's not favorable for Nami, or Taric if we need a tanky support. I really should play Soraka more often.

I fell out of love with Ezreal once after he sacrificed me in order to get a double kill. But then I saw how beautiful and majestic his hair was and I immediately wanted to touch it. We've been together ever since.
