Why NO ONE Plays: Kled | League of Legends 

“When dismounted he has to play more carefully.” Yes if by carefully you mean running at the enemy with your passive, getting four hits in, shotgunning them, and going back in praying your conquer stacks will heal you enough for skarll to come flying back or pray that the alacrity rune you put on will pull out for you.

"Self preservation" I see you are not a Kled main

You gotta admit though, Kled has the best voice lines in the game.

I think Kled is one of the most thematically complete champs next to Jhin. His kit works like how he acts, there is no thinking ahead in the moment. They are trespassing on your property and you need to introduce them to the pointy end of your spear. You don’t let off the gas once you’re in, cause you want revenge for them scaring off your cowardly mount. Basically you learn to be kled by playing kled enough, you feel that dialog, you own all sixty gazillion acres of this property. He might not be played much, but he is sure as hell fun to play.

"when your dismounted he has to play carefully" *laughs in gargoyle stoneplate's shield equal to skaarls full hp*

Kles isn't about playing well, Kled is about having fun. One of the few kits that's just a blast to play even if you're hard losing.

Kled tells you how to play him in his voice lines: "A sane man would run, BUT I AIN'T THE RUNNING KIND!"

Why NO ONE Plays: Kled ? because blue essence drops so slow, I cant buy him.

Q. Why does no one play Kled? A. 'Cause they're cowards

Worst thing about playing Kled is that moment, when you stack all the courage and already see Skarl hurrying towards you... and die durind this 0.5 second. Why you can't get untargetable same as when dismounting is kinda beyond me But man, is Kled fun to play.

I main Gnar and Kled, all my friends hate and love me because and i quote "When you go in and we follow, it's either we win or we die."

I never tought i heard the phrase, Kled is a champion that requieres brains, i mean, i mainly play him while blackout drunk

Everything you just said its also EXACTLY WHY PEOPLE DO PLAY KLED. It's so fun and chaotic. Good video tho, I like this series

There is one big thing I can say when playing Kled and that is what he says when you lock in “courage is unpredictable it’s total insanity you can rely on” really just shows his whole gameplay experience and his personality very well

Kled is one of the most wacky and unique characters to play, I hope nobody plays him, he's all for me.

"In a role with so many brain dead easy champions" This puts a smile on my face

Kled in a nutshell; from a Kled main! High HP: DIIIIIIVE! Lost Skaarl, high courage: DIIIIIIVE! Lost Skaarl, low courage: Run at enemies to intimidate them No W: Don't fight W up: DIIIIIIVE!

7:36 kayn and kha are having an epic 1v1 while everyone else is stacked up on each other

hello, im a kled one trick lol first of all i really enjoyed the video and i agree with a lot of points however if you panic while playing kled you're not playing kled, you're playing league of legends. kled is NOT league, kled is kled. i have some tiny nit-picks with the video but it was really well made and i liked it :3

Kled is war, with an immortal chicken, you ALWAYS go IN.

"Jarvan the 4th" Accurate, but damn that feels weird to hear phrased out like that lol

I love Kled because he makes you learn to play aggressively. If you just back up without hitting anybody you'll gonna have a bad time

Why his W is not a manual trigger will never be a logical decision to me.

Duel Links OST is a nice choice

why no one plays kled. Bricky: AHHHHHHHHHHHH get off my fucking property

"you'll notice that non of these champions are a common sight over the long history of league of legends" Fizz: :)

Kled: Playing 2 different champions Riot: so we made viego

I think you missed the most important part, if you don't play super aggro and smash your lane you become a cannon minion.

I just hate how when most of the time Kled's just pixels away from retrieving Skaarl when suddenly it doesn't activate and you die. But that doesn't stop me from playing him because I have too much fun playing him in every lane other than jungle.

Hey dude don't mess with kled mains. There is like uh 20 of them

although this video is completely accurate last season, as a kled main I can say the champion becomes quite forgiving of you just 3rd buy a stone plate, the active synergises so well with his dismount mechanic, and if you miss a bit of his pistol or don't have his w up most of the time you're tanky enough to just use regular autos to remount. it's kinda dumb and extremely slept on imo

Actually one weird thing about Kled's Q is that if you E and Q and they dash out of tether range, you actually have a small window to E, if you do it quick enough the tether stays intact even though they were out of range. Just things you learn from being a hardstuck Gold Kled main I guess Edit: tbh the limit testing part of Kled doesn't even come in till 2-3 items. Noone can burst down early game Kled in a 1v1 unless they have ignite, and even then, sometimes you can still remount. As long as you have resolve with Bone Plating and Unflinching you can probably remount no matter what in early levels. Just sharing my knowledge to the people who are interested in the champ. He's not as bad as he looks tbh :3

Uncertainity and unpredicatibility is part of Kled's character. In the lore he's paranoid, expecting the unexpected and charging into fight. I think his disadvantage is all part of his character and we can't change him or we'll break his identity. Even if you have to go full offsensive when playing Kled, panic will always be the number 1 killer.

been playing kled for several seasons and damn that >1% sometimes hurts. it's probably the dismount mechanic and how every build is kinda useless without itemizing into tank

they nerf ravenous, goredrinker and sterek! that activate my violent tendencies

I feel that the problem with all those underplay toplane champs is the lane itself. First, if someone doesn't fit into a lane it become a toplaner, second, if you get counter by a semi-popular champ you can never first pick him and 3rd if you are a counterpick you have to be the best at countering the enemy champ or you are still going to be a bad pick.

The other problems kled have is that he has a whole pack of bugs that make him even more inconsistent

all of what you said are very valid points but can any other champion say "shit" in LoL ?

For some reason after looking into the playlist this is attached to many of my favorite champs are here. Singed, Teemo, Illaoi, VelKoz &, &, &.

His abilities are also inconsistent in the way that his Q circle for the pull doesnt always match up with the actual hitbox, and his E recast sometimes works but sometimes doesn't lol

As a Kled main, its why I love this guy. Subbed. Also note, Kleds W WILL NOT activate on plants BUT it will still hit it with increased attack speed.

Can't wait for the video to drop I'm 90% sure it's because of his dismount mechanic though :/

Best thing about Kled is his running animation when you are chasing someone while dismounted

I disagree with you, kled's playstyle and thematic focuses on him attacking and rampaging through enemy line, thats why he recovers skaarl back with constant attacking while dismounted. his playstyle rewards reckless playstyle

Single biggest change Kled needs is for violent tendencies to be a manually activated ability instead of an auto activated.

kled is the most enjoyable character to play because you need to attack... i mean seriously you just go right inside 5 enemies and stay there till you win the fight... or die

Great vid. The other thing that sucks is the fact that he gets shut down really hard by common and strong champs, like Fiora, Jax and Camille, who all outscale you while also having a better lane phase than you, due to Riposte, Counter Strike and Adaptive Defense blocking a ton of your trading power.

Love the choice of background music. Its so nice to hear the duel links music again!!

Good choice of music btw, Duel links ost is a banger

I started playing Kled recently (as silver/gold player) because of that excitement when you successfully remount and you see the opponent give up and goes from a state of aggression into fleeing. But the biggest problem I have with Kled is his speed and size of his Q, even with E+Q engage a lot of champs today have a bunch of dashes and they can juke you and easily make you out of position. For low tier player that is a big deal. If Q was faster to surprise some1 or larger hitbox to avoid melee misses that would be more user friendly.

Kled is one of my favorite characters in the game. I've always loved the in your face fight fight fight playstyle that doesn't revolve around stats but actually outplaying your opponent.

being playing league since the end of s1 on and off, at this point i almost don't play, but your videos are pretty entertaining and you seem very nice :) you can tell u put a lot of effort on these videos

To drill down on the subject of inconsistency, it makes him very hard to practice. There are so many phases that it's really hard to set up skirmishes that allow you to learn the timings and he spacing for his discounted abilities. You sort of have to just play a ridiculous amount and gain it via osmosis.

Not a kled main, but play a fair bit of him and carried me to gold last season. One thing about why he isnt very popular that u might have missed was that he is a bruiser that doesnt really beat other bruisers, as in he has lots of bad match ups. Doesnt matter to me tho i still love the character and hope others might pick him up as well.

Great video! I like how straightforward you are with your points. Maybe something they can do that will help Kled is lowering the cooldown of your w. it'll help with remounting too.

Okay this is the first of your videos i have seen yet. I gonna leave a cute little sub at your doorstep since i really enjoyed the video Thank you for your hard work

I feel like kled could get a big buff if he had a form of marking ability like kindred that would cause his violent tendencies and ult collision to only proc on the marked target. Calling it something like "A bone to pick" would also make it fit as kled singling out an enemy to direct his rampage at.

I personally love kled and think he’s one of the most fun if not the most fun top laner. I don’t main him but I am mastery 5, so I’ve played more than a couple games. Some people won’t play him cuz kled’s look, not skarl, or his outburst. But I personally love his high energy, ecstatic, bumpkin, socio yordle personality. It’s funny and fun to ply

just found this channel saw this video immediately saw fizz in the yordle pool realised the attention to dealies gotta say im impressed i was so ready to leave a negative comment saying they reviled fizz is a yordle but wow that attention to details LOVE it

Kled has the best audio in the game, animations, walking, quotes

The main weakness he has is being full ad with no anti-armor abilities so he is really weak into armor. When Sunfire was OP Kled was so good because he actually got high sustain damage with it but after Sunfire nerfs he kinda sucks.

Can u do a “Why no one plays taric ?”

Loving the choice of background music. Duel Links has some of the best songs.

It should be noted that, while a point blank kled ulti does little damage, it DOES CC briefly. In a 1v1 during a splitpush (an area kled excels in) it can give you just enough time to finish someone off.

11:48 wait, Kled doesn't have mana, why do you need presence of mind? I'll see myself out.

What's this self preservation and how does it help me kill things as Kled?

First, I wanna say - great job with the video, I almost feel thankful for spending your time, and understanding the champion; his profits, problems, and reasons behind various aspects of the kit and design. I feel like it's so damn rare to see people being capable of SUBJECTIVE criticism of anything within the game these last few seasons. I'd like to point out that League is counting over 150 champions, and there are no signs of stopping the number increase. We're naturally bound to recieve champions that won't fit in any situation or comp, but will offer alternative playstyles that can shift player's perspective on the game, or are there to see how extreme Riot can go with certain concepts when designing a character- creating champions not for the meta, but for individuals that are still looking for "their" character. Since Kled has no natural way of dealing areal damage, battles feel that much personal since you know that the only way of taking all of these dirty dastards on the enemy team down is fighting them one by one, hoping to tear the victory out of the grinning maw of vicious defeat. While I've spent a ton of time on Kled, and I got the gist of his limits, I'm not playing him for relevancy more than for the thrill of succeeding, beating the hell out of my enemy while I'm "technically" at my weakest (also stomping the game, but that rarely happens). To me there's nothing more ecstatic in this game than a turnaround, remounting on a sliver of health and seeing my opponents burn their flashes in sudden fear and regret as I chase their asses with my ult. It's not about "being meta", but bringing new experience to this decade old game. Yes, Kled is absolutely inconsistent, and a couple of bugs draw this even further back. But he wouldn't feel as thrilling to play without these (designed) inconsistencies, and I would never accept my little looney lizard-loving leprechaun in any other form. I really hope that Riot will continue creating champions that are oddballs (like Ivern, before his abusable state) than swiss army knives (like Thresh), champions that are just fun to play and not necessarily competitve. *"For every Aphelios, there has to be a Sett".*

At this moment, the inconsistency is mittigated somewhat by gargoyle stoneplate. You can activate it when you get dismounted and since sunfire now gives you tenacity, you don t even have to worry that much about not moving.

*Me, someone who made an account called LeagueOfYordles because they are almost all among my favorite champs* Oh, ok

I don't play Kled because he reminds me of my abusive family...

I’m kinda a kled main and I’ve found over my 200+ games is that when learning him taking barrier as a summoner till you adjust to the remount mechanic Is a good way to find out who you can and can’t remount into and when.

I have a feeling that they can buff Kled in minor ways to make him a little bit more consistent like making his tether not shrink or making his W either Castablr or only on champion so you can't accidentally proc it

Sweet how you think kled is a hard champ when everybody says he's braindead. I main kled and i am currently d2 66% 60 games EUW, ign Black Looter

duelist class? there's only like ADC, tank, support, lethality build, full crit-build, attackspeed/on-hit build, AD/semi-tank, magic/semi-tank, classes for me xD cause even a duelist can still have different builds. bruisers & juggernauts can still have different builds. IMO Item is what makes your class.

This dude came out my second year of league I think. Always remember him, but in the back of my mind I'm always like "dose anyone remember him"

I love Kled, I love the higher skill ceiling and the out playability and just his whole character being great

Lmao he’s actually broken. He is really not that hard you are giving us kled mains too much praise

*my friend is kled main and from Silver he got into diamond in Just one season, did i mention that he is gay*

Kled is one of my favorite champions to play, especially in ARAM where I build a frost fire, warmogs, and titanic hydra with ether berserkers or steelcaps, then ether damage or tank items depending on the enemy team. The ability to dive the backline and survive initial burst on the way in is fun, also it's great for distracting the enemy team as my own team does most of the real work. I will say this works best if you play with a friend who can follow you in.

Im a kled main and I love playing kled, and t bh i think that this video is a very good show of why he isnt played, nice job

Sitti g here listening at 3:58 just made me think. "Youre thinking too hard about it" when kled is mounted just poke and punish when they try to go in. When hes dismounted poke, build courage, and pubish when they go in

I love playing him sometimes because he's incredibly fun. Going balls deep without a care in the world is great fun. Plus he's got the best lines.

Charge is the best ultimate it is so fun going half way around the map strapping people.

thats the yugioh duel links duel theme what memories

you forgot one feature of him, jumping off skarl is like a fizz hop, it de-aggros u from turret which makes him a great early game tower diver

I think it makes play easier to treat dismount as a death save mechanic like zac or anivia passive. He just gets a chance to come back to life, instead being a 2 form champ and treating him like other 2 form champs.

The Duel Links music! Pog

tbh, you can all but nullify q's weaknesses by simply casting it during your e. Chances are you'll get the second dash so you can keep up with pretty much anyone save for vayne or riven.

I hope you do a taric one soon. severely underrated support despite being a champion thats infamous for funneling with Yi

nice choice of music hahaha for anyone wondering it's : yugi theme duel link

I think his playstile is misunderstood, his kit is made in this cooldwon based way to make you choose the engages more carefully, his w is a zoning tool, mixed with a maxed q and tiamat passive, it makes you control the wave by threatening an engage on the enemy toplaner, and his focus is mainly on gettin ahead early, to then enable his team, by repeteadly roaming, with a fast clear with W/Q/tiamat, makes you able to shove, and threaten a play on the midlaner, while on your back you threaten a play on bot that usually leads to first tower, in conclusion, Kled is a carry for himself for the first 10 minutes, and then a funneling support for mid game dives with your most fed/scaling member, thanks to his aggro juggling, TLDR: Kled: it's not like i'm diving mid tower with ult every 3 minutes to get you fed or anything, midlaner kun P.S. mained kled since release, his batshit character and dive playstile is perfect for how i like to play the game

I never knew his charactered existed but lots of my mains were in this playlist

I know a Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds background music when I hear one. Good choice!

Other champions if focused down are gone from the flight. Kled can stall with his passive, and his grounded form plays exactly the same except he's slower. Usually he autos the closest person 4 times and he's remounted. Reaching real hard in this vid

BRO I JUST REALISED YOU USED YUGIOH DUEL LINKS MUSIC, LETSS GOOOO.

I think he's definitely hard to really learn but once you do he's probably one of the best champions to one-trick. Definitely worth the time investment if you like his playstyle

This is your best video so far :D!~

I think a good fix would be to reduce grievous on Q and add a grounding effect to the tether part so when you land it it's actually rewarding

I’m a Kled main from 2019 and when I watch this video I remember why I wanted to play him

I seen that champ solo 5 full kit player. In the right hands he can kick ass.
