Why NO ONE Plays: Kled | League of Legends

[@clebbothy]

“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.

[@davronhanley307]

Yup. There’s a lot of clutch moments involved when playing this champ

[@Kakatouwiham]

You can do that in 1v1 but still it's usually better to space auto with the extra range since you get more ms toward them and you can create space with your Q if they dash on you. In TF if you are dismounted and run in, the only way you survive is SG, Gargoyle and the enemy team been dumb enough to not focus you.

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.

I don’t care about anything and just want everyone to have fun, while doing shit no one understands. Since he talks in *bard noises* I’m guessing in lore its hard for anyone to understand his intent too.

[@mr.bluefox3511]

Kled was my first & favorite champion. When i started playing League, i played him as he was the newest champion at the time, really like his crazy personality & the epic Noxian folk legends around him. It's always the best when your team found out how Kled ultimate worked, they followed you & charging the unexpected enemy head on. It's maybe just me but most of the time while i play Kled, the best performing & aggressive teammatet(s) always follow my R, which mean most of my charge always claimed victory in team fight. I tell them where im going, we meet up ... everything else a bloodbath. I may lost Skarl & die but they will stuck with me first before focusing my teammate ... my E & Q are hard to avoid. Btw i mostly play with random players, so pulling that many Kled R with them is quite amazing. Although i played other champions like Renekton & Sion alot more, Kled will always be my favorites champion. If i returned to play League again, Kled will be my first pick ... if i can get Top-lane ... & hopefully fought other melee champions -_-

[@everenjohn]

As a Kled main, Yes. You bring up great points, but sometimes, the lack of consistency in your own tools is what makes you unpredictably strong! The more unpredictable you are in terms of map control with R, the freer the moneys you get. Also, Kled's dismount isn't a weakness. Its the strongest flex you can ever make in League when you remount because of your 2000IQ. What I can say is, don't think of Kled's weaknesses as it is. For Kled players, those weaknesses are truly the most insanely fun moments. Just focus on getting that flex on the opponent, and you'll never lose with Kled.

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

[@dolmiosaucer2825]

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

Uncertainity and unpredicatibility is part of Kled's character. In the lore he's paranoid, expecting the unexpected and charging into fight.

Even if you have to go full offsensive when playing Kled, panic will always be the number 1 killer.

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

[@unclemike8462]

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".*

[@lekicig]

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.

[@rayla2424]

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

[@herbertluppi6909]

When you have a drunken raging hallucinating psychopatic yordle full of violence and charisma you don't need efficiency or consistency. The "always ham nature of the champ" (even in low hp) + lore + quotes are the best about him. I don't give a damn if he isnt popular nor picked in higher elo nor present in professional gaming/championships, he is one of the most fun champions to player, ever. I get that the uncertainty of the champions kit doesnt fit the champs Role as a skirmisher, but when u think about that, that is 100% fitting of what Kled is as a character (and that alone makes him EVEN more fun to play), cus he is just a huge middle finger of a champion who hates everyone but Skarl.

[@ryanyu629]

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.

[@christophersoria4340]

He has bad matches but honestly almost none of them are lose matches, you only has to adapt to your enemy to not get killed by him and roam to other lanes and put pressure

[@a.arrondel6379]

He gets countered by every meta champion, and that's sad

[@Realag666]

This isn't entirely true, but take this with a grain of salt from am d2 Kled otp. Even bad matchups can be navigated trough and won. The worst offenders are Fiora and Jax, but even they can't do much against you once you generated a lead. Im pretty confident that I can pilot Kled against anyone below my skill level and win, no matter the matchup. Kled is one of the best snowballing champs in the game, because when he is able to dive you he will do it over and over and over.

[@BigMuskachini]

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

[@snatcher8517]

Only cc ability gone, dash gone, ult gone, basically forces you to afk from teamfight until ur W pop back up, of which you can't control. And yes, he become way, way slower. How is that "exactly the same"?

[@torymiddlebrooks]

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.

[@oogabooga7089]

Yeah same, I love to play him too, because of the adrenaline I get when dismounted

[@Dirtnap12]

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.

[@purplepanda2199]

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.

[@yhorm685]

It would be cool if he had something like Fiddle’s effigies where if someone walked into that area, he would go batshit nuts and allow you to sprint towards them at fucking Mach 5 yelling “GET OFF MAH DAYUM LAND!” and have it let you deal more damage or something.

[@lukedufresne7866]

Me a kled main: clicks video immediately goes to comments just to say "because you will die mid remount 70% of the time." that and the amount of unfixed bugs he has is insane. Me a kled main after watching the video: you sir do not understand kled, but I forgive you because that is how I have a 70% first blood rate on him. I will say if they wanted to make kled better one HUGE way would be to make his dismounted E do something; My suggestion is "mushroom juice" kled receives damage reduction and reduces the duration of incoming cc by 35-60% for 1.75-3 seconds. thing of all multiform champs is they get different abilities where as kled just loses one altogether. Honestly the best thing to do here is link R/kledmains because everything said here is already on there.

[@Darque2391]

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

[@jianbozhao6136]

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.

[@iriya3227]

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.

I'm pretty sure most AD champions have no anti armor abilities.

[@neonninjafail7697]

Kled is a champ that goes in hard then when you get dismounted you go in even harder. When dismounted his auto rang is increased because you don't "play passive when dismounted" you go in even harder so you can get Skaarl back. The fact that his auto rang is increased when dismounted and that the way HP from items wasn't mentioned in the video means you haven't played enough Kled.

[@g_slayer_4368]

so I have 247,195 points on this crazy yordle as he was my first real one trick. I picked him up for his personality and how fun his kit looked. Back in 2017 when I was still learning and in lower elo games he was great! You'd run over your enemy laner and then extend your lead to the rest of your team by ulting for objectives or just ulting down a lane. As I got better and better I noticed he struggled a lot against your typical toplaner picks and it was quite disheartening loosing over and over because of execute ultimates. Overall I think kled just needs a toggle on the W and maybe a dismounted ultimate something he can use to help him get courage back when skaarls left him high and dry or some extra lifesteal or maybe even a tryndamere ult of some kind only while he's dismounted. Either way loved the video thanks for shining a light on this old boy

[@makothetako]

YEEESS, MY BOY KLED! I think part of it is that a lot of learning how to play Kled well is limit testing... a lot. He can get away with a lot with his passive (tower diving, turning a gank in his favor, etc), but you need to know where that limit is. You need to be fearless about going in, but you also have to be smart about it. Getting that skill takes fucking up a lot and learning from it, but... uh- most people don't like the sound of fucking up in a competitive game. Even if Kled can be pretty unforgiving, I still think he's a fun champ and that he has one of the most underrated designs in the game. He's a good example of gameplay and thematics working very well together. Also, his voice lines and all of his sound design? (chef's kiss)

[@Tobi13951]

i played a good amout of kled on release and starting to pick him up again. I think personally his kit is very rewarding when you get used to the "insanity" in it pun intented. But it is confusing since best play early is often not to lvl your W at all before you need it for trading. Which i think he is the only champion in the game where you want to not lvl an ability as soon as you can. Maybe tryndamere ult but i can't say if that is still the strat. I love playing kled but i do agree with allmost all the points you make.

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.
