just realised you cut off poor mundo's tongue you monster :(

I was about to bash you, but then i saw your name; nevermind.

@@SilverWarrior95 that was more cringe than his username

@@sting4003 not more than his comment

@@SilverWarrior95 fair

@@SilverWarrior95 yea ur way cringier than his comment

It wasnt a bad year for LOL

@@toumiJamal Alright

@@toumiJamal true, disgustingly horrible is the best definition.

@@SilverWarrior95 I liked this yr for lol, had some very bad bits but also some big highlights

@@zeophyistalentless8287 like what? The year finally coming to an end? HAH

Dont forget her engage being completely neutered if cc even vaguely looks at her. Rakan's is also stopped I suppose, but at least he has an out afterwards.

Problem is her cc isn't hard cc. Her W lasts a second and a half, but her E only lasts zero point five seconds, and her ult is a very short pull that cancels channels and then only drags. She can't chain as hard as many other CC based supports. Of course, the fact you can't shorten her W or R cc is pretty great. Watching people build tenacity for me alone is hilarious.

@@dimyell Personally I think that her cc is short because it can affect so many people, and riot didn't want to release a lot of cc lock down for an entire team. The w + e + ult combo can be enough already for my teammates to wipe the entire enemy team.

@@FluffMangoWhich does mean people have to choose their moments right and not just roll their face on the keyboard as Rell I guess.

@@ald6773 of course, not saying she's weak. I do wish she at least had a slight defensive boost when dismounted over her current 10 percent bonus MR/AR. Being dismounted should be an option, not a weakened state.

So..... they just, nerfed him. And funnel too which is good but........ they nerfed him technically, they nerfed Taric

@@marlikbudvergard yeah but they did buff him a couple times afterwards but the buffs were just reduced mana costs

@@Popelledshrimp yeah, I'd take a cool Zhonya tech than that, damn you Riot

@@Popelledshrimp to be fair , mana is one of taric greatest weakness (as far as a non taric player is concerned)

@@Gorecatto It used to be, but Fimbulwinter got introduced which means you can now add/start Tear as Taric and it completely changes his early game efficiency, he's really good now

I know I used to play jungle and support, used to be one of my favorite champs, now he’s just plain and boring. Feels like he completely lost who he was, like Aatrox.

I’m glad people are finally talking about it. Feels like Aurelion all over again Also, fat rakan 😂

why do you main her? genuine question, how you find her fun or good, i have never tried her and idk if doing so

@@antoniodelaguila4967 If you have a team that knows how to follow up she has amazing setups. I have given pentas to Dianas and Yasuos just by landing a 5-man ult. But that is all she has is setup. Her range is shorter, damage is lower, cc is shorter, and less reliable then Leona and Nautilus. Plus if you miss your main form of engage you're going to take damage because you slow yourself. She also feels squishier than Leona and Nautilus. What got me hooked on her is one game we were behind I landed a five-man Rell ult which allowed my teams Diana and Yasuo to both 5 man ult. That play single-handedly won the game.

not better, but way more forgiving.

@@oftheseventhlayer and reliable

I play a lot of Rell. I find myself trying to play her and failing cause I cant get my ADC to respond to engages. Either that or they complain I do nothing cause I fear the above.

Ok, but do you have an opinion of your own?

@@SilverWarrior95 apparently the real reason riot didn’t make her more doll like is because “that’s the direction shaco is headed” they do know they can have TWO creepy dolls right?

@@Crazygamergal no, you cant, but you can have more cute perfect boring Girls

@@Exel3nce that’s the sad thing, Gwen’s design by all metrics is REALLY good. She had two themes to lean into, the princess and the doll. They chose the princess and did it flawlessly, but in league it just blends into background. Even if they had just given her yarn hair or some ball jointed segmentation in her limbs they could have saved her😔

@@Crazygamergal in my world, boring and basic is bad. I know what you mean, and i also rather have this than kaisa, but ultimatly, they are thr different sites of the same coin

Yeah I definitely get that. I actually really liked the rework myself.

The worst thing with the tahm rework is that he's more broken in the top lane than ever before. I wanted that guy gone from my lane he's a teemo level nuisance while ten times as broken (well I guess before they doubled teemo's blind duration and halved its cooldown). There's a reason why I moved from maining top to jungle for this season.

Tahm jg was one of my mains but he has no clear now, wish they made it viable cuz he feels like a jungler as is.

@Poor Quality Gameplay me to

​@@happyandshortlife6229people play garen

Agreed

Should have been more doll like tho Give her joint or something like that

@@anonyme4881 she's a plush doll, not a marionette

@@spirto1279 Stitches and seams would work. Make her eyes look like buttons. Literally anything lmao

@@ethanstarkey8058 she literally does have stitches and seams

Yeah honestly I think Gwen's design gets too much crap. Although she's relatively boring, she fits what she's supposed to be really well.

League fans just don't wanna admit Senna, who spent years inside Thresh's soul lantern thing, is a way bigger offender.

@@firewolfandrewb kai'sa is the worst offender of them all. the void is supposed to warp your very being, and kassadin and malzahar show that well. kassadin literally kills you with void exposure. kai'sa? she spent years in the void, yet remains conventionally attractive. there is no reason for this beyond "sex sells"

@@Underworlder5 The worst part is they could have done both. They could have made Kai'Sa visibly inhuman and alien and still make her hot, just not in a conventionally sexy supermodel type of way.

Thats true, since Isolde wanted to make her fantasies of a perfect princess or so, because she herself was poor before she came to Viego, without any real hope of seeing how it is in reality. I doubt she would have made the doll creepy or ugly on purpose, so it just makes sense Gwen looks the way she does. Shes the only character in the game who was made perfect looking on purpose because lore demands her to be that way.

Fr fr

her power budget is so off. her q has to deal almost 0 damage because it’s the most spammable shield breaker in the game right now.

@@JoesWho new morde is so much better?

Tahm is so much better now though? Actual use for an ultimate, saving teammates for more than a quarter of a second, more mobility and an actual, usable form of cc. Old tahm was basically a madman running at adc, trying to do 3 basic attacks and failing, using his R trying to move with teammates, but more teammates use Thresh's lantern than old Tahm's ult.

I hate that my broken champ was reworked into something healthier and more interesting

@@rubencarvajal9686 you clearly havent fought him enough if you think he was broken, he was incredibly easy to kite, if he didnt have his ult and you dodged his q you could easily walk away

Yay finally! I was so hyped for this I’m so happy my favourite content creator is done with his masterpiece! Hope you have a great time for the rest of your vacations.

Yeah well. The concept of the shadow isles is that this place is a corruption so powerful just being there could cost you your soul. I mean, with the lore they did it "makes sense" why she is this way. Yet I cant help but feel disapointed by her design. She is an anime character on an isle where everything is corrupted beyond recognition and just like Viego, she looks too... Normal compared to every other shadow isle character.

Gwen represents the light in the middle of the mist, according to the lore she is a girl who was not corrupted, on the contrary she is made entirely of sacred mist which makes her the complete opposite of the island, that's why her design is so cute for So to speak, she also adores life and wants to take advantage of it as much as she can since she won't know how much longer she will keep alive, that's why her cheerful and curious personality

TBH if they buffed him to be a competent jungler it would have been so much better

I still play him in the jungler, he clearly isn't made for that but i try to go diamond playing him with hail of blades and having an agressive playstyle in early. I am stuck in platinum 3 but it is in the range to acceptable jungler to good.

new tahm is 100x more fun cant change my mind

@@xXJasonMakiXx I liked his mini rework too but I am a jungler player and he was nerfed there

The problem is that , support players want to be able to do something when alone , like finishing someone if you adc dies or if youre ahead and someone is way out of position. Its just so frustrating when you are powerless because your adc made a bad call or is in a bad day. At least i think this is one of the reasons that mage "supports" became so popular , they can actually do something alone

Imo support should all be able to deal damage and especially if they invest into it. Being entirely dependant on other people is not only frustrating when they continously make bad decisions, but also heavily limits variety in builds and playstyle. Look at Taric for example. A tanky, protective support who links to someone, but you can still play him top or jgl (the latter of which I definitely recommend, very fun and suprisingly effective) because of his high base damage and amazing synergy with certain offensive items (shean, onhit, etc). Rell just doesn't work at all on her own, she practically only has 2 spells. And her R is not worth using when alone.

You say that about him but not rell, which is also terrible in the gameplay Department?

who ?

You don't like Nautilus dealing damage? Did you know that he's not even considered a support? He's a fighter/tank, by riot's classification. And he used to be a toplaner/jungler back in the day.

There's magical website that says the opposite

​@@marsdudewhere did you come from 😰

Call me a smurf, call me a troll, Riot forgets the names of the banned. As a Kench main nothing feels better than wasting your ult on swallowing an enemy to kill them and pressing ctrl+4

A mess how?

@@chaotixthefox mostly how a usable his old W was in pro play, how his entire kit needed to be balanced around it, how he was able to strongarm top lane even HARDER than now (but also fell off harder due to a lack of a combat ultimate), how his ult was SO good in pro play since it was great for organized rotations etc…. He was a balance nightmare. Now he should be easier to balance since his most broken ability, devour is an ultimate and thus has a long CD. I say “should” because he STILL HASNT BEEN NERFED

@@jairartis That's not a mess, just designed a little too well around coordination. Paying the pro tax like a few other champs have. Viego is a mess, all his power is loaded into his passive and ult in the worst way, and he causes a new bug every week. Unfortunate coincidence that Kench's most fun ability is also his strongest.

Yuumi does indeed do more damage

you say that as a joke but yummi deals a considerable amount of damage, of course she deals 8 times the damage of a rell, what's weird about that

You cant be serious...

@@Exel3nce I was playing her yesterday and tbh I had so much fun. The only thing I'd probably change is her passive. The lore? Wouldn't, although we didn't get Loyolda or Ilsolda (Idk how to spell) Even if she was deemed useless in the story I think it wasn't that bad.

Why are you so surprised? Different people have different tastes...

@@giacomodaureliodarpino7594 Everyone likes what they want. But really it doesn't change that Gwen has an extremely poor/deja vu design. I'm sorry but she just screams anime in her design. Like Seraphine she doesn't really fit the Lol universe. They could have done something better but no. They went for the simple and chara design that you see every other time on Pinterest. And still he has more interesting ones than her. She's so generic that it's uninteresting. The concept is cool, the execution... They really could have done better. And Riot's poor excuse about how she's supposed to be a doll but became human. Well, actually, no. It doesn't change the fact that without context you don't know she's a doll by design if they care so much about that in their characters. And that shows the flaws of her chara design. They could have been inspired by the real Victorian outfit but let's go for a simple anime fantasy style dress instead. Anyway, these days Riot in chara design I don't know what's going on. But it's getting more and more boring. When you see anime getting tired, it's not characters like Gwen that will make you appreciate them again, especially when it's not in line with the Lol universe. In a manga or anime she would be perfect. In lol she's just boring. I'm just saying that. You have every right to like her. But I really think they could have done better.

@@Elza-bz9ur Y'all calling her an anime girl, right, since anime is probably the only fucking place you ever saw a woman right? i do not think she looks like an anime character, she represents sort of a wonderlady and a confused princess at once, which does indeed sound cringe as hell, but i can't say it isn't good. Yeah she may have a deja vu design but come on, have you ever tried making 150+ characters with all of them being completely different? I myself like the champ a lot, but as the guy above mentioned, i'd probably change her passive or her R because it's just nothing special. also i can't be the only one in the world who thinks that seraphine is much weirder than gwen in terms of design and the overall idea of a character

nobody cares about kench support lmao, even before the rework he was piss tier in support.

@@agustinmartinez4033 Sadly true, of all hundred games I played before his mini-rework, I can probably count with one hand that I have seen a Tahm support, personally he feels awkward and clunky in botlane.

@@hiunaut2833 that came due to the many unnecessary nerfs he had received prior too. His old ult range got heavily decreased You couldn't get stacks of his passive with his Q anymore Swallowing an ally slowed you instead of giving you a speed boost They are all extremely stupid nerfs that pushed down a champion who was already as low as they could go. In my opinion I think this rework could've been skipped if they did not make those nerfs.

Vex is 400 years champ. Literally the worst addition because unlike other 400 years champs she also requirres no effort to pilot. Annie's level of execution but with 10x better kit than Annie. Simple to play = good design despite broken kit and numbers kekw. Her visuals and such are quite nice, interesting and fresh but gameplay is pretty disgusting. Rell has potential but she is quite botinh gameplay wise which could be fixed with some tweaks there and there but it seems like Riot doesn't care about her as much as they do with Yone and others.

@@lunacy5510 She's by far the most fair champion along with Rell out of this season. Annie is even more unfair than her to play against.

More like a crucified old man

Agreed

Agree he was literally the ONLY character i cared about and loved , and riot keep screwing with him over and over again, it was very painful to watch #viegodeservsbetter

She is Just beyond boring in execution. Typcial"bad" League Design

@@Exel3nce her design or kit?

Spelled Irelia wrong lol

@@Mossymushroomfrog18 lol what

Viego is like a thing u hate so much that you literally cant stop playing him, being a paper, a scumbag playstyle, a pathetic simp, but we still play him because his kit is so satisfying to play

haha same, i also got into jungling with viego and kayn, love the position since

Having a high skill ceiling and a low skill floor is good game design for games themselves but I don't think it's as good when applied to characters within video games (especially competitive once), because having a high skill ceiling usually means having more outplay potential and combining that with lower skill floor means easier and quicker access to those mechanics which makes character completely broken. Regardless there are good example for high skill ceiling and low skill floor champions like: Yasuo?!, Ezreal, Viktor?!, Bard, S10 Irelia, Lee, Zed?!, and Shen?! (they aren't really crystal clear) your average player can utilize their kit to some degree but can't be nearly as much dangerous as a master, and bad examples would be : Akali, current Irelia, Katarina?, Yone, and Samira, your average player can move the enemy team from desktop to the trash bin a bit slower and less cleaner than a master. But that's just my humble opinion.

The problem is... Yes, ideally a character should have a low skill floor so new players want to try it out and a high skill ceiling to reward players who dedicated their time to that character. But that only works in isolation. When you have over 150 champions that are supposed to interact with each other and be somewhat balanced compared to one another, except some of them were released over 10 years ago with outdated kits compared to modern standards... You can't apply that principle, because you end up creating champions that seem blatantly unfair compared to the rest. Let's imagine that Lux is a low skill floor low ceiling champion, Akali a high skill floor high ceiling champion, and Viego a low skill floor high ceiling champion. Objectively, which one feels the most rewarding to play? It's gonna be Viego. Sadly, champions aren't born equal to one another in League and since balance must be maintained... You can't have a low skill floor high ceiling champion in League, that just makes him extremely overpowered and unfun to fight.

Didn't he design Ahri's SG team(including Ahri herself) as well?

Wait you think SHES the worse one????

I just really want her to get a rework so she could at the very least flex to top

The only reason in the lore imo that would make her a support is that eventually I think she would need to trust allies to succeed in taking down the Noxians. I mean she is only 16 after all with trauma. So having her as a supp isn't as bad, but to not make he be able to go about it alone as well is quite disheartening since she's suppose to take down Mordekaiser who is a Top laner.

weird compared to tank supports only because she is the real tank support and the others aren't

The problem is they’re so unique that Gwen has no skins that makes sense with them, I don’t remember goody sci-fi disco or maid cafes having scissors in them…

Wait, isn't Stridebreaker dead?

The only thing I'd change on Gwen is having her passive apply to jungle monsters; I'd love to use her a jungle and gank with her ult while resisting cc with W

I agree with you anime aesthetics for me are enjoyable but I do know and understand why people can hate Gwen's design

Tottaly innecesary champion, adds nothing, generic and is very boring as a character

@@fatgum4343 I don't disagree with you I just like her just my tastes😅
