What are your thoughts on Kled right now?

He is a fun champion by his presentation but I find his kit to be very underpowered except his passive which is really good for going full Leeroy Jenkins into a tower or enemy team but I can't help but say that Sion does this job way much better than Kled.

If you do charge in and leash enemies I've seen a bunch of assassins, divers or high mobility champs who can still break past Kled's front line to the squishies, while as with Sion (and a few other tanks) I never have this problem because his CC is ridiculously huge.

His on foot Q is rather pointless even if your full AD and you fire his shot gun at point blank even against squishies it feels like it does no damage and the AD scaling is pretty poor.

I'm kind of glad that Riot isn't making champions that can easily 1v5 with no skill like the old riven, yasuo, fizz. I'm glad they are making champions that are more dependant on team coordination.

But you think a crazy old psychotic yordle especially a new released champion would have higher damage to bully in lane easily. You can leash an enemy but they can easily just run away, minions will shift aggro towards you, which forces your minions to attack the enemy minions resulting in the enemy escaping even if you use your E and minions attacking you losing skaarl hp while your minions push which can put you in a gankable situation especially if your trinket is on cd.

His on foot speed makes "kind of" sense because he is old, he really hates walking as you can tell by his salty quotes towards skaarl but you can still see he is a lively guy by his animations and attitude so... the slow move speed is kind of pointless.

It also doesn't help I should mention his shotgun Q even if your AD at point blank range that it does no damage. I try to use this ability to execute an enemy player who is at 1 block of hp (1 block = 100 hp) and it does annoy me that it doesn't execute them and i end up pushing myself away (the push back makes sense because he is little) while the enemy either escapes with low hp and i cannot chase because of kled's very poor move speed.

Now your thinking "But you have Kled in your name, you must be able to carry every single game with him." My response "I own all champions and almost all runes. What am i going to do with over 10,000 ip? I change my username every month. Plus kled is freaking cool <3 so is Jinx and Twitch, its mostly because I love chaotic evil characters just love doing their job destroying *#@& lol"

I find his jungle clearing to be pretty mediocore, I avoid losing skaarl at any time in jungle because if lee sin, rengar, kha, udyr, warwick, catch you while they are invading (well im the only warwick who invades 1v1) then your kled or the enemy kled jungler is going to die or waste his flash and spam Q to actually move.

I wish Kled can regain Skaarl by clearing jungle monsters with the same point score as killing one minion this way he can still take a long time to charge but not have to keep on recalling to base just to regain skaarl and waste time. This is similar to a better jungling champion Rengar who (before the assassin update where this will be removed/tweaked) he can charge his stacks by throwing his E or using W over a wall on jungle monsters.

I find building full tank to be a joke even i didn't have a problem against him in lane when he went magic resistant against my rumble. I saw a kled struggling to cs and when i tried to do full tank kled on myself i found out his auto attacks possibly have the worst ad out of all the tanks and his ad scaling and base damage on all his moves except his ultimate is a big joke, not even a threat.

His tank build is pretty good, like I said he is pretty good with diving into an enemy team and tower and his skaarl can take bonus aggro i should add but i find his lane phase and jungle clearing to be pretty awful if your playing some tank champions who dont have a scaling ability that benefit with doing more damage on stacks like nasus or scale of your hp as damage i find tank farming on top lane to be a real pain which results in you getting pushed back if this does happen and every time this does happen to me even if i do get good ganks on top I will at some points get camped by brave enemy divers in a 1v2 or 1v3 which can be a pain if you wanted to go full tank.

This champion when against or playing as feels like a very low threat it could be just me but after Tahm Kench got nerfed to the ground, every champion released after him like Aruelion Sol, Taliyah and Kled feel like they are tickling me, taliyah has decent enough damage if i see her fed, and she has possibly the best kit out of those 3 though thats not saying much I still feel that there are better champions to pick than these three.

Aruelion Sol is one of the coolest looking champions in the game but he is so easy to dive into, disable his stars is easy especailly if you have hard CC or a silence like malz or cho.

I do hope Riot would buff his kit just a lil bit more but only for the early game or at least buff his jungling by allowing him to regain skaarl in the jungle. Me and alot of my friends except 2 who disagreed with me. Have said that Kled feels very underpowered its a real shame because I was hyped to main this champion but after testing him all day I had a hard time on myself to accept the fact that there are better champions than him right now.

If kled does get a nerf its only going to be skaarl because the hp is a bit ridiculous to alot of people but to me its not a problem because his damage and rest of his kit feels very underwhelming.

What do you guys think? Do you think Kled is a bit too weak? I've been desperately trying multiple builds on this champion all day yesterday against certain enemy teams or just personal choices (no didn't do ap, he has no ap scaling and im not a jerk) I was trying so hard to really enjoy this champion in the meta but i really hate to say this but he feels very under powered, his skaarl hp is amazing, his W damage is great, his ultimate works well with a "coordinated" team but his Q, E feel like a joke and his R is just a poor sion ultimate with support utility.
