Made me feel like very very very few champions are actually shitty. Most of the champions chosen are just supports because they don't have the damage without there teammates. Just because something isn't meta doesn't mean its trash, and plenty of "shitty" champions aren't really that bad at all!

No champs are bad, but the mode is bad lol

That is the point of the mode. To show the players that no champ is bad.

I do think that's Riot's angle in this game mode - to show the community how most of the champions are viable. If anything, some are just more restricted by the dominant meta, but Nemesis also shows how differently the game can be played.

no because if you put a team of meta picks with non meta picks then they are shitty.. just because youre playing against shit with shit doesnt mean theyre good.

Just won a game with randoms by giving the enemy all ADCs. They handed us four champions we had skins four, and a Taric and Anivia with a Taric/Anivia main pair, and we got Thornmails as part of our plan. It was interesting.

Got done carrying my team as AP Zil. Just kept on chunking health off my enemies. Late game, 3 of my bombs would usually kill their tankiest player. It helped that I am rather familiar with him.

Duh the level of stupidity in nemesis draft is unexplainable. Either people like to troll and give the enemy team OP champs like Shaco, Aatrox, Rengar etc. or most of them are retarded.

There are 2 thing, I learned from Nemezis:

  • AD > AP
  • Melee low dmg tanks (Taric, Sejuani, Zac) are in terrible spot

Completely agree.

An example is Taric, there is a difference between bad, and outclassed. Right now Taric is outclassed. But he still has that point and click stun which can seriously screw up some assassins. Don't forget that armor aura which can pretty much make alot of early game damage trades go in favor of Taric and his AD carry.

Also if you pair him with Graves in lane, he is almost unkillable due to that ridiculous early game armor stacking.

Only reason he isn't picked is because Braum is alot more versatile.

i honestly have trouble picking champions for my opponents. even the "trash tier" champions can be great if put in the right hands. short of just giving them an all ap comp i don't really know what to do
