Who do you think is good in poro king? It might be late now but lets establish some OP champs in Poro king. I personally like because of the poro dash into ult.

Galio MonkeyKing Sejuani Orianna Malphite and Lissandra works well.

Alistar Skarner Jax from my experience. Alistar loves the poro dash since he gets a free low cool down gap close to start combing his Q and W, and he can build very durable and heal his team really well. Blitzcrank and skarner can grab people and then hit to the king for amazingly strong picks. Malphite can use the Poro dash exceptionally well to get in range to slow down everyone, and then follow up with his ult if they start to run away, which makes him almost inescapable when his ult is up. Jax loves the free gap closer as well, since he can poro dash in with his stun already activated and then stun the whole team and start bursting squishies. Additionally, any champ with decent sustain and moderate durability does really well. Don't waste your time banning reset champs like Kat or Yi, since their power is surprisingly limited because of the longer ranged skirmishing play style of Poro King.

I disagree. Kat's reset is just as toxic on Howling Abyss as in other game modes. Yi's Alpha Strike and speed generally mean he has no issues applying a butt load of damage within the tight confines the Howling Abyss' bridge. Every game I have been in with a Kat or Yi has resulted in dozens of kills for that champ.

Tanky champs seem to work pretty well so long as you don't Poro throw/jump right into the entire enemy team without some backup. They will CC and melt you.

I've seen Lux and Janna used to great effect. Their abilities are hard to dodge in close quarters.

Yi and Kat DO get a ton of kills, but only when they are against a squishy team. Every game I have played against either, they did get a ton of kills, but they couldn't one man carry because my team always became too tanky for them. I get that they are strong as reset champs, but they are also weak in that they cannot solo carry if they can't kill the enemy squishies (that trouble is especially noticeable when your team has no squishies anyway).

Another thing I have noticed, I have won EVERY match from blue side, and lost EVERY match from red side, and I mean every single match, no matter how well I play, I cannot win red side. The enemy gets twice as many poro king drops as my team when I'm red, and we are virtually helpless to stop it. On blue side, my team always draws first blood and summons the Poro king twice as often as the other side. I think that is more of a deciding factor then team comp even.
