Champions that need buffs

People have lately been talking stuff that should be nerfed but no one seems to talk about which champions should get buffed which makes sense since it’s easier to see what should be nerfed than what should be buffed. Here is a list of champions I think need some buffs.

Elise: Ever since she became a tier 1 unit she feels a lot worse to have. I feel like she always dies before can transform or she just dies right after she transforms. I feel like the issue with her is that her basic attack projectile is way too slow, preventing her from getting her mana fast enough.

Lulu: The only two reasons you pick her are if you want a yordle comp or if you want her to give allies more health. Even then she might give that health to the wrong ally or it will be too late and they will die

Evelynn: I think the issue with her is that once she uses her ult she jumps away from her target meaning if they don’t die she will have to walk back to them and take their attacks while doing so. Sure Pyke may do the same thing but at least he jumps away and then stuns everyone in his path. Plus I think Katarina just does her job better. I think it would have been better if her Hate Spikes her ability instead of her ult.

Mordekaiser: The only two reasons you are getting Mord is if you really want phantom comp or you are having trouble getting Darius, Garen, or Warwick (If you are that unlucky). Plus his ability is just so bad compared to the other early game front liners abilities.

Fiora: Like Mord you either want her because you can’t get something better like Camille or you want that early game noble comp. All she does is use her ability and dies right after. She is not as tanky as the other tier 1 frontliners so she should get something else as a trade off but she really just has nothing because her ability is not as good as the main 3 early game frontliners (Garen, Darius, Warwick).

Morgana: I really don’t like using Morgana because her ability is short ranged which means she has to get close which means she can die very easily. Even worse is when she finally gets full mana it takes so long for her ability to actually do the stun. Why have a slow stun when you can get Veigar for the same price and can blow up a single target with his ability. Death is better cc than a stun and sure Veigar’s Death spell only effects one target but it is worth not being able to effect multiple targets. Plus you can also just wait to level up and get Brand instead or just stick with Lissandra if you are happy with her.

  1. Elise's spiders didn't used to apply Demon. That's a massive buff. Also, she transforms far earlier now on a demon comp than before because of the synergy change. She's far stronger and hits 3 Star far more often. She has NEVER been a damage dealing champ in TFT.

  2. You pick Lulu because she bypasses Grievous wounds, and knocks up.. For a 2 Star champ she's huge! The only reason you don't see her more is because we're in a Void/Noble Meta, not a Sorcerer/Yordle Meta. Her team control is insane when selected though.

  3. Evelynn has a True Execute whereas Katarina does not. When Itemized correctly, Eve is a monster. Not only does she gain mana from Demon, she also de-aggro's when she ults. If she has a Seraph, her ult is almost instant when she comes back. If boosted by Sorcerer, she can generally execute 2-3 champs per use.

In contrast, Katarina doesn't de-aggro, can't reposition, and often is dead before she can act. She's also slower to gain mana.

  1. Mordekaiser is a 1 Tier Aatrox. What do you expect? Aatrox damage on a 1 Tier unit?

  2. Fiora has the fastest attack speed in TFT. That's her strength. Also, her skill not only does damage, it disrupts skills, makes her briefly invuln, AND makes her immune to skills. In other words, if she has attack speed/SoS, she can literally spam her skill, and create a situation where she never dies and duels people to death. The only problem with Fiora: People generally don't ITEMIZE HER in favor of Lucian or Vayne or Darius/Garen (Spin Morello)

  3. Morgana does MASSIVE damage per cast. Sometimes just the first hit is enough to kill 3-4 people. Furthermore, with the Demon Synergy change, she's effectively now the fastest potential mana gainer IN THE GAME, since she is both Sorc + Demon. In other words, before opposing teams are even halfway charged on mana, she's already cast. As long as she's not taking front line damage, she will get her skill off, and stun 2-4 champs. She will usually be able to do so TWICE.

Furthermore, Veigar doesn't just "Blow people up." He actually needs 3 star to be effective, and even then, he doesn't guarantee a blow up of other 3 star units. Just 2 stars. If he stays at 2 stars, his utility is generally weaker than a Morgana.

Elise: Agree, they could add a bit more health to her, she is pretty low on the health side when you upgrade her to 2 stars.

Lulu: no need for buffs, the issue with her is the meta that doesnt allows sorcerers or yordles too much.

Evelynn: have you ever built an evelynn? its monstruos, she can heal a lot with her ult if you run gunblade, and with the current demon bonus, she can be an execution machinegun.

Katarina: She needs either to start with some mana, maybe 30 - 40, or to decrease her mana to 80 or below, or to buff her health and defenses. I preffer the first option.

Mordekaiser: I'm pretty ok with him, maybe increasing his defenses by a bit wouldnt hurt the game.

Fiora: Hard to buff, she should have a bit more health, but that would make her almost impossible to kill under the noble buff.

Morgana: She deals a lot of damage and is one of the best sorcerers in the game, maybe on the 3rd spot behind 2 stars aurelion and Karthus.

AND is interesting that you didnt mentioned the worst unit in the game:

Lissandra: Awfull damage on her ult, and her ult screws you if she is below 50% health, they should remove the self ult part, or buff it a lot.
