AP Sion was an actual menace back in the day. Point and click stun that chunked for half ur hp and a shield that did the other half.

[@henriquepacheco7473]

@@kinkinTheWild kass was basically permabanned in both comp and soloqueue. He scaled just as hard as he did today, but he also had a decently strong laning phase, between better ratios on his abilities, his q being a point and click silence, and his W letting him sustain mana more effectively than today. His R had way more range, and its mana scaling with repeated uses was significantly lower, meaning he actually had a very strong all in at level 6 already. Plus, he screwed the mostly ap-centric mages that were very common even harder, since his passive meant he would win trades with just his Q and E even while eating a full skill rotation from something like Orianna. About the only mid laner that threatened him well was Zed, which, fair, but even into Zed Kassadin was strong because of how hard he could scale.

..... I will never forget... I think around season 6? maybe 5? idk. I remember it died down a bit and then Jinx came out. Master Yi was an absolute frickin menace and everyone had one on their team if they could. it was a fight to get first pick because there was Yi. He'd ult, Run in, and you were all guaranteed dead. This was about the time I got bored and decided to learn Shaco because I had no clue how to play around him when the enemy jungler would randomly pick him. So I locked in Shaco, Stuck a box to hopefully watch for gank. We were getting kills as the ward spotted Master Yi coming in at mach 5, locking lips with my box and retreating just as fast. It was then that I realized Shaco completely dominates yi and I spent a large majority of my lane time ditching my ADC just to make the enemy Yi's life miserable. Good times.

Fear is actually one of the hard counters for movement speed builds, cause you run away just as fast, it's almost a better version of snare or stun(if you're not going for a kill that is), Fear wasn't the same as nowadays, before it had no slow, it was usually just fear and damage. So for Yi that's immune to slows during ult while also very fast, he would just zoom out of screen view xD you just wasted atleast half of his ult duration if he cast it before entering.

I remember the night Leblanc went live. Played in a PC cafe with my friends and I was killing the enemy mid laner at level 3 with no effort, no mind games. Her combined ap ratios were in a different league. I think the only counter was Galio at the time, due to the magic resist runes they'd use in their pages. There's a lot of stuff I thought was ridiculous but most of the time it took someone else's mistake to get the champion to scale that hard. Leblanc was an obvious exception and it was the reason she got fixed immediately.

[@markmccleary4026]

Sunfire stacking in Twisted Treeline on Shako, when the Sunfire effect duplicated on the clone, was wild. Pop out the bushes and everything you touched died Revive/teleport with all global picks was wild as well. IIRC it was Shen, TF, Noc, Panth, and a spellcaster of your choice. If anyone got gone on, everyone smashed ults or had the guy drop a ward, and if they died, they'd respawn and hit the opposite lane. I think the fastest game I ever had with friends was 9 minutes.

Regardless of the damage numbers beta tf would still be broken today. Doesn't matter if your numbers are shit, just go mid, hit level 2 and then you can teleport stun anywhere on the map. Enemy jungler can never invade again, botlane has to stay under tower permanently. Teamwide free buff on passive and global slow on r are overkill.

​@@pasarebird02 Damage is important but op might be forgetting how OP utility is. Just being able to teleport anywhere as a basic is pretty broken. Doesn't matter if his numbers before are used now when in theory TF would also use the broken items now. Even if he loses lane, he'll just have impact elsewhere by lvl 3.

My friends wanted me to play with them, so I decided to try, After complaining for a while I got into it and now think it's decent but I still prefer league as far as Moba go. Anyway. if Dota taught me one thing it's that old League probably was way closer to original Dota and Dota 2 than it is today. The TF teleporting anywhere on the map as a regular skill is basically exactly like one dude from Dota who also can do this to this day.

I’ve been playing league for 6+ years now and I still can’t understand shit when I see older clips of the game. The old graphics were so chaotic I can’t follow shit

[@myth-leagueoflegends]

It doesn't help that the old videos are usually low quality. It looked bad - but it wasn't blurry lol

[@14Blackspirit]

I will never Forget AP Yi ... His Q scaled so hard with AP that you one shot enemies. Oh and if you kill someone when you have ultimate active it resets so you go invisible ... someone dies somewhere and then you go again, again, again until all are dead.

[@unlimitedninja3635]

I've realized after playing this game for 10 years that the reason why old league was so good was when you're first learning it with your friends, you're all just joking around having a good time not worrying about how shit was supposed to be built. Now alot of my friends moved on from league and i'm able to see what the game always has been, an unbalanced mess. But I still look at those early days with a smile because that's how games should be played.

[@tt13768]

I'm so glad you finally released a new video :)

[@myth-leagueoflegends]

Thank you! I'll be uploading much more frequently going forward

[@jerandcor]

​@@myth-leagueoflegendsGlad to hear it, I dig the content and it gets a sub from me 😊

[@biglittleboy9827]

It WAS broken. And it's EVEN MORE broken now LETS GO!

[@GNCD2099]

Classic Mord is a nightmare. When I mean classic, I mean the one that kills your carry and uses their spirit against your team. High sustain, high damage and to top it all off, he can potentially turn a fight in a 6 v 4. It's fairly common to see him wipe out the enemy team by himself.

[@shadownight9956]

Pls bring a footage of old xin zhao oneshotting whole enemy team with his old R and he himself getting oneshotted by thornmail😂😂😂

[@DelCause]

I miss the original summoner's rift map so much. I started playing in season one, I took a break in season 4 up to season 5 and I continued playing sporadically up until season 9. I remember the day they announced the rework and I was so mad about it that I actually sent an email to them just talking shit, I was very surprised that I got a response from an unfortunate soul, in the nature of "We are not quite sure what the problem you express is exactly". The old Summoners Rift had very atmospheric and dark aesthetics, some canceled characters were thrown around as easter eggs, there were a lot of flame torches and voodoo masks around the jungle, various different little magic-induced forests and random platform of runes and jungle camps with actual tents and stuff. The newer map was cleaner, smoother to the eye and more vibrant, it wasn't bad really just a step on a different direction.

[@DominusTheOne]

AP GP or AP Master Yi soloing midlane by doing insane damage with 1 skill and also insane healing with 1 other was my kind of gameplay.Imagine almost losing all your lifebar by one skil of your enemy and then IF,big IF, you manage to survive and do some damage back with the help of jungler or something,then your enemy heals from low health to full with 1 skill and miniscule mana cost. It was so devastating to their morale I won psychologically from the start. 🤣🤣🤣😈😈😈

[@GEORGEFILIPPAKIS-ge1vn]

I got to abuse broken Taric in the jungle for a continuous six years , his healing was so good that taking cookies in your runes made him completely broken and you know i invaded solo from level one every single game !

[@checkyoursixgaming]

Started season 1 with Xin Zhao. One thing not mentioned was I thought his Q was a knock up on every hit for like a few hours after release. It wasnt mentioned, but they hotfixed that ASAP. With a little bit of attack speed he could perma CC anyone in the game. Also, my first penta came from playing Xin. With enough lifesteal and attack speed the old Xin Zhao was unkillable. A literal 1v9 god. I played thousands of games as Xin Jungle back then.

[@369lalala]

All I need is the old soraka design, it was perfection.

[@sjonnoh]

Nah, Poppy was the real deal (especially lollipoppy)

[@aerys_hs4176]

Kassadin was definitely the broken guy when I started playing, also Katarina was not joking around.

[@federicomendoza8190]

I miss login screens with new champs or skins...

[@vaqueroliquido7339]

truth of the matter is that League of Legends has kept becoming a better and better game throughout the years, but it's player-base has always been full of crybabies.

[@astrofeeder777]

correction: "It's Not Nostalgia. Old League WAS Good."

[@Sg6CrossOver]

Divine sword Kog was something else, he would just tear out your health in few seconds, armor itens weren't as good to contain him

[@MangaGamified]

what was the bonuses of his bio-arcane barrage back then? and was still magic?

[@XayLies]

I started playing in 2016, and kinda Mained Xin Zhao because I played him a bit and I remeber constantly getting S / S+ with him and shredding every single piece of my enemies Yes, I was the villain back then 😂

[@kurrwa]

xin was one the fastest clearer in jungle season 1/2

[@kmaguire7161]

I only started playing when Lissandra was released but I just got flashbacks to LeBlanc's insane chain ability and how busted it was. Even flash was not going to save you.

[@groundworm]

Old Fiddle in the Middle was also busted as hell. E dark wind bounced 11 times silencing for 2 sec first bounce and an aditional sec every next bounce. You could just ult the mid laner While he was silenced than fear + drain did the rest.

[@an1kay]

Oh hey look, it's me at 17:28

[@antro1194]

Kassadin with 98% ban rate and ap yi just clicking once and deleting all

[@SuomenPaska]

I started playing in 2011 and the thing I most vividly remember from the game back then was a full AP poppy ulting the enemy team carry and one shotting them while towerdiving her and her entire team. Not sure if it was the most broken thing, but it's what pops to mind the most lmao

[@myth-leagueoflegends]

I think in hindsight, it's probably one of the most broken mechanics to ever exist.. it just took a long time for people to catch on to how absurd it was. Definitely will include it in a future video.

[@sjonnoh]

I rarely played Poppy AP so I always used my ult to the weakest enemy so I would pretty much not gain any damage and then focus the carries so the rest of my team could kill them.

[@TheKeinash]

I remember playing Morgana on mid lane before season one - it was wild. Her Q did wild DOT, combine with W you’d usually one shoot a carry if they didn’t have Mercuries Threads. I remember getting so powerful that I rushed at 5 players alone and they all run away. I think my win rate was around 70%. At some point before S1 she got heavily nerfed/changed and that was it for me maining Morgana. Too bad at that time there was no ranked.

[@YoungSweezy]

I remember playing Olaf in season 2 and with 1-2 bloodthirster i was healing from 10% to full hp in 2 autoattacks. Olaf was original Aatrox.

[@michaellimone224]

Olaf can still heal a lot, but nowhere near that level lol

[@Zaachary09]

I made it to Diamond in Season 3 playing old Ryze top. Rushed muramana for empowered autoattacks (this literally killed the enemy top lane) and afterwards went for other tanky mana items. You were unstoppable by endgame, easily 1v5ing the whole enemy team.

[@gostreiver8036]

This is a great channel and very well done video. Really look forward to seeing you delve into more champs / items as the years went on.

[@nickrowan]

I started playing League back in May of 2011. Vayne has just been released and Orianna and Yorick were soon to follow. Was fun times back in those days. People played for fun rather than the horrible sweatfest with toxic teammates it's become. I haven't played in a few years now but I still watch some youtubers and streamers. When I see what people behave like in chat and in game I'm glad I don't play anymore. Also, better nerf Irellia.

[@sjonnoh]

I've been playing the game since late 2010 and I have to say, the only reason I still play it is because quite a lot of friends of mine still play it so it's still somewhat fun with friends (and in ARAM it's less toxic) but once you play solo in SR, it's just.....I don't know, people are easily angered for every little mistake you make. It's like the only joy in life they have is winning a game in League.

[@blazingkite8983]

Sion could be built AP or AD, if AP he would one shot you with his stun and shield with AD he would fountain dive you AND NEVER DIE, even with anti heals Yorick would let an ally temporarily live if they were killed while the ult buff was active Zilean passive used to give extra EXP to ALL ALLIES GLOBALLY Yi AP was literally unkillable if you had no CC, his W scaled by 4x his AP and gave 300 both defenses instead of the now 55% dmg reduction Gragas E went through minions and his W was what his passive now is + mana regen too Katarina would make penta kills in less than a second, I dont remember her kit much anymore, I just know her W was amplified your Q and Q marked enemies for something but her CD refresh was a full reset on kill, not just 15s and no 3s before kill condition good ol' better nerf Irelia because old Irelia was always OP Q refunded mana and CD on kill, W stunned if your HP% was higher than hers, E gave true dmg and life steal to her attacks and R also had life steal on opponents hit while passive gave her TENACITY which increased the more enemy there was than allies nearby [edit] oh and lets not forget Taric. Man could solo bot lane after ulting. who needs the adc anyway? Theres even an old animation that Im sure many know of, that emphasized on this Taric. people love to bash on Riot now that they make so many broken champions and old days were much better but they forget old stuffs were much worse when compared to their respective times and not just champions, items too like is no one gonna talk about Malady? Madred? Testament of Will? you know, the OG spell vamp item? or summoner spells like Surge, which when removed, was passed down to guinsoo (on top of guinsoo's extra hit, guinsoo was ridiculous at that time) and still lives to these days but as a watered down version on Malmortius or Promote, which was basically banner of commands, but the minion you promoted gave you the gold of what it killed only reason ppl prefer old times is for 2 things 1: nostalgia 2: the community was much dumber so many didnt know anything so they spent time having fun than trying to win the games but also because we were much dumber back then is why ppl dont realize just how much broken old days were, cuz nobody knew jack I can assure you, if they were to implement the old stuffs without changing it to fit the current balance, they would 100% break the game more than any champ or item would these days.

[@aspirion9957]

Old Leaugue was maybe broken but still more fun then getting isntant deleted even trough daribillity Patch. Also there was no 500 Dollar Fomo for Ele. Lux .

[@viperstrike0]

In the beta Katerina and Ryze could 1 tap ur whole team with one ult usage and did pretty much the game lasted long enough.

[@AlryFireBlade]

OP stuff... How about old GP running with his minions to lane, so he can kill 2 ofthem to make it that you are forced to start with a CS and XP disadventage.. DotA-like xD

[@myth-leagueoflegends]

that was brutal - can't imagine if that was still possible today

[@sjonnoh]

I started playing League around the release date of Irelia (near the end of 2010) and the first broken champ I remember was Jax. All he had to do was jump on you and you were pretty much dead because of his dodge. I actually remember when dodge got removed from the game. Riot made the statement they removed dodge because it had nothing to do with skill. The next OP champ that comes to mind who was so broken when it got released was Nocturne. I just remember playing ranked and a team member picked him when he just got released and the guy just ulted towards 4 enemies and won without any assistance. I cannot remember any other champion being as broken as Nocturne on the day of it's release. Also I miss the tribunal...

[@ponygaryyellow2238]

Camille and Illaoi release are beasts.

[@TBoneBG]

How about Yorick who got removed from the shop so people didn't know he existed.

[@ligreze]

I've remember Shaco's Q being a blink with range of whole map :D + invisibility, ofc

[@play_boy7543]

Lmao

[@iceblack95]

started in 2013, 98% ban rate Kassa was something
