Saying old aatrox is the only champ to ever have stances is crazy considering old Udyr was a thing

Fun fact about Ezreal, at one point his W let him be a support in like 2012, 2013. Keria being a madman like he is got a shoutout for playing him support for the first time in well over a decade in a recent LCK game. Almost as funny as those times he was played Jungle and got a team into the LCS and when he got his second worlds skin lmao

Wasnt this Nunu blood boil version also the one that caused the duoQ nightmare where Karthus + Nunu was used to counter Master Yi + Taric?

seeing courtesy of anklespankin triggers my happy memories. I absolutely grew up watching that guy.

Curious if old Mordekaiser passive will show up, it was arguably the best passive in the entire game IMO. Converting ANY damage you deal into a shield sounds simple on paper, but i remember so many games where i was nearly immortal because of it.

Man, some of my best memories of the early days of messing around with friends was a Taric/Nunu bot lane. Shatter to lower the enemies armor, blood boil to boost both of our attack and move speeds, snowball to slow them, the stun on demand, and the aura toggle for quick trades. We had so much sustain as well, lol.

Fun anecdote: there was a rioter at pax prime one year back in the day that the NA summer playoffs were hosted whose choice of interaction before giving out skin codes was asking people what the most broken passive combo they could think of was. Most people were saying some combination of Zac, Anivia, and Aatrox. I said Volibear and Poppy. The moment of comprehension turning to fear was great.

5:55 Rengar and Kog'Maw were both also un-reworked :)

Crazy to think about how Zoe was in the same game as old Nunu

Well the fun thing about blood boil was that it was also usable on minions, which meant that in times of banner of command and zzrot Nunu could siege like crazy with an empowered cannon minion

Old Aatrox stance should be directly ported to Trynda when he eventually gets a VGU.

Isnt Jinx a stance changer?

Guys go and eat lunch. Vars just did a video

leblanc before she got un-reworked was basically ryze but without ryze's weaknesses. doesn't need to scale for late game to start dealing damage and her W-Q-passive combo is basically ryze E-Q but better

"Leblanc was the only champ in league history that had to be reverted due to being too overpowered" *Sad turret Kog'maw noises*

Nunu's Blood Boil was considered OP for a long time before they even added the AP granting component to it. In the early seasons of League Nunu support with Blood Boil max was meta just for the constant attack speed buff.

10:14, that old poppy face is so cursed. Thank god they change it. Right now, Poppy is so breedab..... I mean beautiful.

ok, so that's one of the most interesting subjects ever. and it's that strong cause it's a bit more timeless? (maybe)

Regarding ezreal's W (the version without debuff/heal), with no modern runes like manaflow band you wouldn't level W at all until maxing out Q and E, it was rather clunky skillshot viable only for AP fooling around. For Ez to get attack speed from it he would need to throw W and waste E to get hit by it and considering there was no mobility creep like today cost was too big.

old nunu e and old ezreal w was the nofun comp for the enemy adc i ran with my friend

You asked Riot to revisit Aatrox old W, but it's basically Xin's passive now.

Isn't Jinx basically a stance changer too ? If we consider Aatrox a stance changer, Jinx is basically the same. Replace the HP cost with Mana cost.

Vars, I just want you to know that I got a Black Swan ad right before this and it infuriates me bc not only is it not actually her ult voice line, it’s also just grammatically incorrect bc they mesh 2 different voice lines together and it just comes out poorly

If you go to this guys channel, click on playlist and start it, and then keep skipping the videos. It sounds like hes trying to say "Hey Guys" in as many ways possible.

Omg, you just made me remember that I mained old Nunu top lane against ranged toplaners. Let them kite all they want, they weren’t dodging the point and click snowball and i could sustain off eating minions.

I'm actually thinking - maybe Valiant Fighter could be re-introduced as a tank item specifically against true damage? That definitely will give at least an option against the %hp true damage at least (well, it probably will be kind of mandatory, but then is the question - which slot are you willing to give up for it)

3:45 thats basically how he is now though, his passive being the empowered damage AND heal, reduced by AA and ability damage

6:20 LeBlanc wasn’t the only reverted rework… Kog’Maw, Kha’Zix and Rengar also got reverted

Oof I remember old Soraka. Point and click silence/mana restore is crazy.

Kogmaw also got reverted to his base, not just Leblanc. Kog used to be this on hit ramping turret play style until they scrapped it

I'd honestly love to see some of Old Soraka's Abilities, whether it be her MR shredding, her super silence or her massive armour buff on her heal.

For the next part you should talk about the reworked yummi ult that gave the person she was on armor and mr scaling with yummis ap

Old Poppy with the right runes set up + old Jungle items is horrified. It basically negate Poppy main weakness, weak early game. She can powerfarm through jungle with reasonable speed which become more scary when she get some level. And when she level 6, Her ganking potential is ridiculous since she just dive your tower with other teammate and doesn''t care a bit about Tower or Support. She can jsut walk into the lane from behind tower , ult you , push you toward her teammate and start beating the shit out of you with no care in the world.

Babe wake up, new Vars video dropped! ❤

Poppy was never much of an issue even with passive and ultimate because she heavily needed items and had terrible wave clear. If poppy ever got to 3-4 items they were probably going to win the game regardless

It just hit me that you sound like Emvee and now I can’t unhear it

8:46 - Walks into lane, uses ultimate. - Leaves. - Refuses to elaborate.

Rengar also got un-reworked after the same big assasin changes as LeBlanc got in 2017

Seeing all that old gameplay, those old icons and the old map makes me so happy and sad at the same time. I wish we could play old League again :(

make never surrender a setting that can be checked by anyone, that makes it so the surrender popup never show up, if they want to surrender, they can go into the setting and uncheck it so next time the popup will show

God i moss old aatrox. Had so much fun going devourer jungle and soloing baaron at 20

Abilities That Were DELETED From League Of Legends: Zeri Episode

13:08 that's basically taric jungle nowadays

1:39 Jinx Q is also a stance change, no?

Said it before but I'll say it again just in case. Original draven passive. Basically ranged darius that hit way harder. I was there for it on release, and it SUCKED to be adc till the change

Seeing these old clips makes me miss Dominion. Maybe hype it so Riot brings it back. I used to abuse old Soraka as a tank mage in it so hard.

When I switched to toplane. And I wanted to main aatrox because I liked his on hit. They completely removed him. It was pretty sad

My favorite removed ability was mords dragon

Paragon of demacia

I sow old aatrox balde, I felt happy

kog maw also got reverted (his W used to double his attack speed reduce his damage and double his attack speed cap)

Wow, Old Ezreal is disgusting. Still disgusting to this day. -Sane Draven main

Valiant Fighter? I thought something was off with a similar augment effect in WR Arena last month. Guess it was this removed ability.

I think they could Nerf sigil of malice damage to minions and bring back the reworked leblanc with current items

I think a lot of characters would like poppy's old passive. Almost all tanks, drain tanks, adcs...

I miss Ezreals old W. I was an AP Ezreal main... i still like to play it sometimes but god its so fucking bad now

I realy liked runic skin from old galio

Can you Cover Talons old Passiv (Mercy)? It was so useless on him, since they removed his Silence. Maybe as a bonus, because I think there is not that much to say about it.

Isn't like, Jinx is a stance change? No?

Its sad we dont have so many Auras anymore. For example in Smite there are entire Item trees around Aura Items that Tank Support build to become the beefy beating heart of the team comp. Unkillable CC Machines that jack up their team mates. Aura-Kephri is just so fucking fun

I miss old Galio ult

Isn't jinx 1st skill a stance change??

Poppy was the single best assassin that has ever existed in the game. With critting magic damage, mobility, and her ult giving a huge % damage increase on the target and making her immune to other targets, a late game Poppy could just kill whatever one person she wanted. Playing her burst assassin was her best, and intended role. Fighter is actually what got her removed from the game since she would just ult the support and fight everyone else when she couldn't be damaged at all. That was a toxic play pattern. And the worst part is, it didn't even work most of the time. If the enemy team knew how to scatter when you ulted the support, it was a 100% worthless tactic, whereas the assassin play pattern worked almost every time late game and was a reliable deletion of a strong unit. Her original intended concept is still kinda alive in the form of Mordekaiser, but it's way more counterable since you can just end his ult outright with QSS and QSS-like abilities (you could only remove the bonus damage from her ult) and he's immobile, unlike Poppy who was both very fast with her W and had a dash as well with her E. And of course, in that era of the rework, they'd just turn any melee champion that wasn't obviously a melee ADC (aka had a shield or passive defensive ability) into a tank...which is why Poppy is a tank now.

When will we see vars mentioning xeraths original kit. The guy was already ignored in the rework ranking video.

Thinking about old Aatrox with todays runes

Man that Ezreal W sounds insane, at least it was skill expressive with his E but I’m glad I never had to fight that.

Does Jinx Q not count as a stance change?

ekko still does over 3k damage. I have seen multiple times he will clip me with both parts of the Q then E for the third proc and the total number of all his BS in one hit is 3400 something

Actually most of the guys from the assasin rework were reverted. Fizz was reverted, Ranger was reverted, Kha zix was reverted, Zed was reverted

fuckkkkk i miss ap nunu so much 😭 that was my go to pick whenever i had 180 ping

Havent Even watched yet but Taric should get his old kit back except E 😅😅😅😅

don’t jinx, aphelios and udyr have stances ???

video does feel a bit rushed tho. kinda wanna watch it at 0.85x speed?

I miss old fiddle

To quote UberDanger: "LeBlanc's rework was so good, they undid it!" Personally, I actually agree with him. LB was certainly broken back then, but the problem is she was so much fun to play in that rework, as it increased her skill expression by a large margin. Current LB feels weak in most situations, especially in low elo.

Rengar rework was also essentially completely reverted.

08:22 OpenAI

Would Jinx Q not count as a stance change?

Jinx is a stance changer

Please add old zeri passive or ult on the next episode, thats all people tqlk obout on their subreddit

They removed our ability to survive combat with adcs and assassines.

Kog maw also got deworked like leblanc

good video :)

Rengar was reverted too because he was op, not only leblanc

Best league content creater.

As a Dota player I get a little chuckle out of these videos. I mean a 5 second, 40% attack speed buff for your team and debuff for enemies if they all happen to line up in a straight line and get hit by a tiny golden projectile. Way too strong, OMG Riot wtf! It's so weird how weak these abilities seem to me but how easily they break the balance of the game.

1:55 you don't know what coup de grâce means, do you?

don’t jinx and aphelios have stances ???

Blood Thirst/Price should've stayed with "New" Aatrox idc how they do it, it should've stayed LeBlanc should've still kept the "mimic" of her R after her revert. The one where she creates a clone whenever she uses her R, just to keep her "Deceiver" feel. RR had to go because it was global but the R clone should've stayed

Jinx also is a stance changer and i think she is older than aatrox

Man I miss the old aatrox

3 hit pasives not great on melee attackers. Meanwjile nocturne

I like this video ❤

God I miss old champ designs, they were so fun, too bad games become meta driven no fun allowed products

Can u do everything wrong with twitch? he seems to be a very polarizing champion

Throw this riven garbage in the trash and bring back the real aatrox riot.

Man i miss old aatrox so much i first got to gold with him in the jungle.

I would love to see a video about auras! If I remember correctly, Riot’s reason for largely removing them was: while they can be high impact, they’re hard to notice and uninteractive

Ngl they should bring back old aatrox w cuz the new one is the worst ability in the game
