    i am surprised kassadin did not feature in this video considering when most people think most broken champions they think of kassadin in his glory days. 99% ban rate, a point and click 2.5 sec silence, 700 range ult, 10 stacks of ult, 100 more base damage and higher AP ratios on his entire kit.

    One of the most infamous things I remember from league history (besides playing support around the same time) was freshly released Morde rework, the one with dragon.
    My guy just walked around oneshoting everyone with a single Q attack string. Over and over.
    And if I recall correctly, he suddenly became the strongest marksman back then, even though he was a melee, non mobile, low range juggernaut.

    I remember that when galio hit in 7.21 people were talking on reddit asking if the devs had forgot a zero somewhere in the numbers. Over 50% max hp damage on a ranged, 6sec CD ability was so insane, you dont even see those numbers on ultimates. I also remember that the dev coment on his hotfix patchnotes tried to discredit the idea that it was a typo, can't find those coments for the hotfix anymore to confirm it tho. So insane to think that anyone on the balance team would look at those numbers and think they were ok, most 200 years moment ever imo.

    Old AP Gragas, pre-2014 rework.
    His Q dmg had a 90% AP ratio, his R dmg had 100% AP. Both were aoe and Q had a base 7s cooldown at max rank with an attack speed reduction debuff instead of movespeed.
    W had a cooldown of 25s and lasted 20s, so with just a lil bit of ability haste you had an always on +70 AD & 18% damage reduction buff at max rank. Zero scaling/ratios.
    Body Slam had a flat 7s cooldown and dmg scaled with both AP and AD. At the time, Body Slam gave Gragas some of the best mobility in League.
    Gragas was also amazing at exploiting certain items like Innervating Locket (made famous by Guardsman Bob playing Udyr), DFG, Zhonya's Ring and RoA, while the DFG+Q+ult combo could easily assassinate anyone not building resistances or health in a single combo.
    New Gragas just doesn't play anything like the old one. 😒

      Le Blancs weakness is the majority of her damage is locked on single target.
      If there’s more than one major threat Le Blanc isn’t the best choice.
      She’s not a pentakill champion. And even if you get fed if your team falls behind it’s not an easy feat to carry with her because you have to play perfectly as an assassin.
      Yeah she’s a nightmare in lane, small skirmishes and when she’s free to roam but teamfights is where she falls off and loses reliability because a more enemies means there’s more that can go wrong.
      TLDR, you want to end your games before going past the 30 minute mark. Otherwise games get waaaay harder to close.

    I’m glad you mentioned Skarner.
    Many of those videos talk only about very old releases, or beta/pre-season 1 champions that everyone knows, and were only available during an era that Riot was still tuning the direction of the game, and there were no stats website around.
    Skarner rework was during an era that the game was pretty well established, past the peak of S3/S4, and it was the most broken thing of all lol history. His kit and stats alone were already overtuned, but what pushed him even further was the fact that runic echoes, a jungle item that he could really abuse, was also way too strong (I remember mid champions even building it because it was so cheap, and was basically infinite mana+lot of stats).
    Just to put in perspective how broken Skarner was at that week: Most junglers were not able to have a healthy, AND fast clear, it was a tradeoff, the few who were able to do so had some weakness preventing them to be meta, or had weak ganks (remember, this was upon a meta that farming junglers were basically trolling). Skarner had everything, he could easily clear without losing HP AND mana, he had a strong gank, and there were no champions that could duel him under the rune area. Skarner could do anything, and better than other junglers.

  • @C4lmaria
    @C4lmaria Před 14 hodinami

    I remember pre-season/Early season 7 Miss Forrune being one of the most broken ADCs ever, it was the perfect storm
    1) The new lethality system has just released replacing flat armor pen, and back then they didn't know that they had to always account for ranged champions building their new assassin/bruiser items. In fact, it was mostly this fiasco that led them to debut the concept of giving an item different numbers for ranged and melee champions.
    2) She had been reworked and her R actually scaled off an AD build for 1 year then
    3) Her Q2 used to always deal double base damage (and higher AD scaling damage than today) ON TOP OF potentially critting and always critting when Q1 kills. I vividly remember my 1-2 lethality item MF's Q2 single-handedly 100-0ing unsuspecting vaynes and sivirs trying to contest waves.
    It was so bad they almost overcompensated burying the champion some patches later before realizing that taking out the crit mechanic ALONG with the double damage on Q2 (which was what the first iteration of the nerfs in pbe were) would kill the champion's skill expression.

That champ was insane, he got to level 6 without being punished, because he could turboclear the new jg safely while most other jgs were literally dying trying to full clear, then once he got lvl 6, he just went to a lane, pressed R, and killed his enemy with a point-and-click ability. It would only get worse from there too, he didn't fall off because once he fully stacked Devourer his on-hit damage (which his ultimate proc'd EIGHT times) would skyrocket.
    This was a champ made for noobs that had a 60% WR, which really honestly doesn't even do justice to how OP he was because EVERYONE was playing scaling strong clear on-hit champs that built the same items WW was, but WW still dominated them at 60%.

    Season 2 Jax....... Thanks to the dodge mechanic, he could spawn kill the enemy team inside their fountain. I tanked the fountain once for a full 30 seconds to pentakill the enemy team before jumping out.
    Also original Soraka.... She had unlimited mana and 800pt heals that didn't cost health

  • @Faenry
    @Faenry Před 2 dny

    Old Jax could get 100% dodge permanently, not just with his E, making him straight up invincible unless you could oneshot him with abilities because otherwise he'd just lifesteal his HP back during your cds. He could also dodge the fountain turret's attacks so he could just camp spawn after getting the 100% dodge (probably the reason it's a laser that ignores dodge now).
    I also used to have a very close to 100% winrate with midlane turtle/tiger Udyr (for some reason everyone was sleeping on it and played him phoenix jungle or whatever), before Locket brought him to the attention of pros and got him nuked (it was glorious for the brief time I got to include it in my build tho). My only losses were games in which their entire team ganked mid regularly all at once until I was too far behind to come back in the game, otherwise I could completely ignore the enemy midlaner while farming then reliably 1v5 after 10 minutes, which is around when I usually destroyed the mid t2 turret because I could just ignore the enemy laner and hit it every time my wave crashed. The only counters were silence/very heavy chain CC and very strong auto-attacks from fully farmed adcs late game but I usually already won by then.
    Those are the two most overpowered things I've ever experienced in League. Stronger than anything I can see in this video. Though the Aphelios ult was juicy.
    I've also experienced the permanent chain CC Skarner but it didn't scar me like the other two. He reminded me of old Mordekaiser with which I also used to 1v5, but it was trickier than just running in with Udyr.

    Reworked akali pre nerfs might be the most overloaded champ in history. I'm so glad people didn't figure out how to play / build her faster. Micro stun, true invisibility, execute, 3 dashes, healing, bonus damage, movespeed, auto attack empower passive. There is probably more, I just can't think of it all. Everyone seems to forget about her when talking about most OP champs ever.

    @Sylvine Před 17 hodinami

    My personal OP pick... Well, I have two, because both were so hugely broken and yet went undetected for months.
    The more broken one was roaming support Sona top. The pick that singlehandedly led to support item changes. I had 65% winrate on that - and it would have been WAY higher if my own team didnt sabotage me in 20% of my games because "ff sona troll".
    The other was funnier... Support Tank pre-rework Nunu Jungle. I dont play jungle, it's my worst role. I hit diamond with Nunu Jungle in season 7. He had such insanely broken stats, and nobody noticed. He never really got nerfed, his rework was mostly due to outdated kit and low popularity. But his old W gave insane stats to a teammate, think Lulu W but on steroids, and he could use old locket to give his team a health % based shield. Due to how his old Q worked, he could get to insanely high (for the time) HP numbers easily, and Locket shield reached as high as 3k shielding. Teamwide. Ridiculously broken, entirey underplayed.

  • @miguelsanchez825
    @miguelsanchez825 Před 2 dny

    Yi AP, I truly defend he was the worst because he was kinda random in lane. Like could hit you for 300 +100%ap while farming or could not randomly, and he had the safe choice to save Alpha Strike when there were only 3 minions to guarantee it, not to mention he was like Kata (tho slower won't like) in teamfights but invulnerable and when he was targetable he was healing for twice his health bar with 300 defenses.

    I think the most broken champ ever was either rune glave ezreal or release rework Akali. She had a stun on her ult, could use R1 without a target, her Q healed her, her shroud worked on turrets her E dmg was split 50/50 not 30/70 like it is now and her passive gave her energy back! All of that was removed and they of course also nerfed her numbers overtime too.
