What makes a champion overpowered?

Because let's face it, there ARE overpowered champs in the game. Saying something else is just stupid.

Then what makes a champion overpowered? In my eyes, there are 4 things to measure how OP a champ is:

  • Mobility
  • Damage
  • Durability
  • Cc

There's a difference between an OP champ and an OP ability though. Let's take Mordekaiser as an example. He has (what I would say) a ridicolous overpowered damage with his Q. But nothing else in his kit allows him to be OP. That's why I would say that Mordekaisers Q is op, and not Morderkaiser himself.

A champion that has a kit with several of these things, is in my eyes overpowered.

Let's take Vayne Vayne as an example:

  • Mobility; With a ~2 seconds cooldown on her Tumble, she has alot of great mobility.

  • Damage; Her damage is most based on her W. An ability that deals true damage based on her enemies max health, so it has no counterplay whatsoever. With this, she has a high damage

  • Durability; She's not tanky herself, but with her E that she can knock enemies away with, aswell as a stealth each time she Tumbles with her ultimate on, she is still very hard to kill. She could easily get killed if she's strongly focused though. So I would say her durability is ~normal.

  • Cc; With only a knock back, and a potential stun, she has a low amount of cc.

With this kit, I would say that Vayne is an overpowered champion.

If you would go after those 4 dots, then who do you guys think is overpowered?

Edit. Of course every champ has a counter, and facing your counter in a lane means a big chance of losing your lane. But being overpowered doesn't mean to win your lane. It means having alot easier to carry a game to victory. Because losing a lane doesn't mean losing a game.

People saying Riven isn't op should go and face Riven 1v1, and then come back.

A truly,truly,truly OP champion would be one with extremely high mobility, a shitton of damage, and a shitton of tankyness. No champion has those numbers. Even Riven isn't that way.

You don't really need to have ''a shitton'' of all of these three to be overpowered.. Riven has high mobility, with three jumps and a dash. She has very high damage, as all of her abilities scales with ad, she gets bonus damage with her passive, and she gets bonus ad with her ult. She is one of the very very few (if not the only) champion in the game that has a shield which scales with ad.

I do call that very overpowered.

The one thing she doesn't have is extreme tankyness. By that I mean high armor, mr, health, etc.

You don't really need extreme tankyness if you have something to compensate it with. In this case, it's Rivens very very high damage. This combined with her AD-scaling shield, she doesn't really need to be tanky in order to be overpowered

People are still too lazy to find her counters?

You didn't even read what I wrote, did you? Just because you have counters, it doesn't mean you aren't OP. There are several dots I go after, that decides whatever you're OP or not.

I can't see where in this post I am ''QQ'ING''. I'm simply saying there are different things to measure however a champion is overpowered or not.
