Having talked about overloaded champions let's get more specific and talk about overpowered abilities! I genuinely think a lot of champions are only considered "OP" because of one specific ability. The rest of their kit would likely be fine if not for just that one thing. What do you guys think? Let me know!

​@:D 2D girls are the best 22 / 19 / 16 / 13 / 10 s CD and you never max it first cause you need your Q to be a champion. So in the laning phase, it’s pretty long and can be punished hard. For the dash part, it has less value than a true dash as you cannot use it to escape a gank or a mispose. That being said, it IS arguably a very strong spell, I do agree.

[@yukikaze6380]

They only need to make him invulnerable while casting in and out of it and it would be a better zed ult

[@anthonyfaiell3263]

Wind Wall is basically summoning an upgraded two sided Braum with E permanently up that takes no damage, blocks all projectiles, and ignores projectile based cc. It can be used to zone multiple people out of a fight singlehandedly. Oftentimes defensive abilities serve a single purpose. Janna shield blocks a large chunk of single target damage. Garen W gives him bonus defense and a shield. Rammus defensive ability makes him even tankier. Sivir's E blocks a single ability and only on herself. Wind wall simply provides too much "all purpose" defensive power by not only defending self, and not just for a limited amount of damage or abilities... it is an indefinite wall that blocks abilites, auto attacks, cc, and more. It worked on Braum because he was eating the damage for his team while reducing it for himself, except he could still be cc'd. It works on Xin because it only blocks for himself, it is an Ultimate ability on a long CD, and it provides a champion that relies on aggression for mobility a way to protect themselves during that aggression, except he can still be cc'd from outside of circle. A well placed yasuo wind wall is immediate, and could potentially have more defensive utility for the entire team than a Taric ultimate... And because of its immediate nature, it's less about outplaying it, and more about them just not using it right. Outplaying wind wall basically requires the Yasuo to make a mistake... . I really don't think there's any argument that this ability is broken.

[@bayanzabihiyan7465]

Yasuo also has a lot of his kits power soaked into that E. He is basically a melee character with an auto reset, a targeted dash that requires minions to be useful and even then that windwall isn't actually that strong due the fact that it's stuck. Braums E is actually a lot stronger because that wall moves with him. If you gave yasuo Braums E instead of windwall, I actually think he would be a lot stronger.

[@Me_Caveman]

@@bayanzabihiyan7465 Possibly, but that argument can be made if you give any carry champion a tanks ability to negate damage. Putting Alistars ult on Sylas is a decent example. He gets more value out of it because he deals more damage than a cow and heals. Same ability; unequal outcome.

[@JVGaming123]

Ya but yasuo damaged is nerfed so that he wont ever do as much damage as an adc...he will get his crit faster than them but thats it...he just gets his damage faster than an adc, late game most adcs can 1v1 yasuo with ease...his windwall is the only thing that keeps him as an assassin

[@clubstep8244]

Yasuo is designed as an melee ADC. Windwall perfectly fits his kit and without it he would not be able to exist. It is has a high cooldown early and since you max it Last you need to be very careful with it

Just a minor correction, but Ashe's kit received a small change in the game's lifetime.

I thought you would talk about more of them. Nocturnes ultimate is one of the most absurd abilities in the game to me. It is one of two abilities that affects every enemy champion simultaneously with the ability to kill vision, on top of giving him the ability to fly to an enemy in range with a spell shield in his kit, so you literally can't do anything for the first few seconds unless you instantly kill him. This can turn any teamfight when used properly, even without the dash, just to separate enemies and prevent them from knowing wtf is going on

[@queendread4427]

I think this is a very good analysis video and isn't biased at all. It has specific criterias for what is considered overpowered, and mentions how other abilties that would be considered overpowered have their weaknesses like how even though Urgot R executes under 25% HP, it has a decently long cast time and can be dodged. I also like how he mentions how even though Darius Cho'gath and Garen can do a massive amount of damage, if you position well, they can be easily kited while Pyke can zip right past everyone.

Ashe on release was even simpler. P: You gain focus when out of combat slowly over time. When at 100 focus, your next attack crits and you reset to (crit chance %) focus. Q: Attacks slow, but cost mana per shot. *Mana was a painful resource back then so this hurt to use.* W: Didn't pierce, only did 7 arrows ever, but always applied frost shot. Noteworthy since frost shot was stronger but usually cost mana. E: Hawkshot gave you +3 gold per unit kill, but didn't have charges and had a limited range that increased with rank, so you felt the need to use it on cooldown. R: Basically the same.

For me it's Irelia's passive, her whole kit does function around it but it is quite insane how much of a stat steroid it grants her.

It grants her more on hit magic damage than Warwick's passive, and more attack speed than Jax's passive.

[@shadowarmor5100]

Invisibility without warning indicators. Like, Pyke goes invisible and everyone nearby knows he is invisible bc there's a massive effect beneath their feet. Evellyn announces herself with that heart above your head for her charm. Rengar puts a nice set of angry eyes above your head. But Teemo, Shaco, Khazix (and maybe others that i forgot) are simply completely gone to the point that you won't even know that you need to counter them until you are basically dead. Can we just get indicators for every invisibility? At least a tiny warning would be appreciated. Also, Traps, or to be more precise, TeemoMushrooms. Absolutely terrible. Every time i get a Teemo in the enemy team I start dreading taking even one step while my OracleLense isn't up. Like, Jihns traps can be avoided bc of the delay and the small number/area. Caytlins stay visible, Maokais saplings also stay visible and can potentially be outrun. But Teemo Mushrooms just do massive aoe damage with zero way to avoid them, without having Oracle Lense up and blowing it on Shrooms instead of Wards. Same with Shaco traps. An absolute menace without OracleLense. The Fear and Damage are just terrible. If I see a Yone ult or some other huge threat to me and it hits me, I'm good. I might be dead but i saw it coming and could have potentially done something. But dying to threats that i couldn't even perceive before they kill me unless I randomly use OracleLense? Absolutely hate it.

[@X33Ultras0und]

You can solve this problem by buying more control wards. As killing lots of traps will also be able to kinf of pay back the gold spent on buying them. If you buy one for 75 and kill two teemo traps, you essentially only spent 55 for the control ward. Understand what I mean? As you already go oracle lense, that too is also paying back the price of the control ward too.

Csught a mistake at 2:35 "Ashe passive deals less crit dmg".... No, it makes her actual crits double her passives existing slow and the bonus damage from attacking an afflicted target scales based on her crit chance; 50% crit chance always means her autos deal 50%(+10%) damage on afflicted targets. Her passive technically makes her crits more damaging, due to 100% consistent damage (unlike relying on blind luck for crits with less than 100% crit chance); bear in mind my numbers may be slightly off due to the crit damage nerfs, (from 200% dmg to 175%, nevertheless Ashe deals consistent damage that is boosted by an additional 10%)

I would like to advance a counter argument : we actually need more abilities with the "Grounded" properties. Hear me out. With how strong dashes are in general (thet fall exactly within the parameters you said for being overpowered in general: vast amount of applications, few to no couterplay, doesn't matter if 10/0 or 0/10 to be useful) and with how almost every single new champions have a dash of one sort, to the point that items giving dash or insane movement speed have been added just to give champions with no mobility the possibility to be relevant outside of bloated numbers, "Grounded" is way too rare as it is. By adding the ability to stop dashes (maybe not all dashes, Flash for example might be made an exception) to other abilities, most notably those who only slow (and thus have been pretty much considered second rate to useless in the past few years), you force champions with dashes to use them tactically instead of being just able to use them whenever they want to any purpose they need (looking at you Riven). It would force more tactical placements and purely and simply add counterplay where there was none.

Personally i would add sett's W to the list. It checks out most of the boxes that u presented. His survivability in teamfighsts relies purely on this ability. Also a good sett will never use w without comboing it with e or r for guaranteed true dmg. I wouldn't say that sett as a champ is overpowered, but that single ability is bonkers. (Sorry for my English I am not a native speaker)

[@Said-uz4wz]

In my opinion the most overpowered ability was akali's w after the rework, I mean been invisible and untargetable under friking towers was waaaaayy too broken.

[@yeetyourmeat7455]

Yeah you should've seen league before it was popular. Twisted fate had his ult as a basic ability for example

[@justanothercommenterwithan9089]

@@yeetyourmeat7455 what was his ult?

[@yeetyourmeat7455]

@@justanothercommenterwithan9089 You could just search for it online but it was basically his 1st part of his current ultimate, but also slowed everyone globally.

Though Pyke's ult is powerful, it has a fair amount of counterplay. The ult can be dodged, flashed or zhonyas'd which prevents the reset, but more importantly, Pyke cannot build any additional health meaning he will always be squishy. His locked-in lethality scalings also ensure you can't just build a ton of armor or mr because the execute range, e stun duration, grey health, and w ms would become abysmal.

[@binofbread6975]

A hook that can be tap casted to just do damage, a dash that leaves a trail that stuns, a move that gives him stealth and move speed, and a passive that heals grey health when the enemy can't see him, not to mention the execute that resets on successful kill. Pyke having a "fair amount of counterplay" has to be some kind of sick joke. The champ has absolutely everything.

Silver Bolts really grinds my gears, either remove the percent max health scaling or change the damage from true into physical

As annoying as it is, there would be nothing to vayne as a champion without it

[@destroaneto854]

Vayne is the only champ in lol that only has to aa her target a set amount of times, so if there werent an attackspeed cap you could play her just with aaspeed... Well we all know there is a way around this caP... Lethal tempo (I dont like %hp true dmg and it Is extremly infurieting if you are 10/0 tank and vayne just kills you bcs %true dmg )

[@thewolf7668]

I started playing Pyke a few days ago, began climbing with him. His ult is easy to miss but also very very overpowered. Yes he has an execute, but the thing about his ult and why it makes it amazing for a support is the gold. People don't really talk about that part much but you can make a difference for your 0/5 adc if you kill every enemy they attack. 300g might not sound much, but getting 2-3 kills in a row can bring an adc back into the game. The champ is fun, very very slippery and can carry your games, try him out :)

[@Glitchr10]

what a coincidence this was uploaded the day gwen was released...

[@jamiewalking]

she has superior xin r on a basic ability

[@davidpavel5017]

I feel like confusing 'broken' with 'strong' is not healthy for the game, especially if a popular youtuber does it. Camille and Sett were broken on release, Pyke ult is just hella strong.

[@thekirbycrafter7229]

at least someone understands

[@jeffrey3066]

And like he said (and I agree with), Yone's R is feared more than his E. His E is strong but not overpowered. Furthermore, Yone can be outplayed by AP champs.

[@zainazyar4505]

I would agree it was just very strong if not for the gold bonus on top of its raw combat power. That, plus his mobility and group stun, it is a bit much. Either cut the gold or the resets IMO

[@Darksilver740]

I still think Pyke's ult is broken. It's literally the only reason people play him. His hook is worse than Blitz and Thresh, his W is go fast, his E forces him to jump in a fight when he's extremely squishy and then his ult... - Resets - Aoe - Long range - Bonus gold - Late game execute dmg is huge Without his ult, he is just utterly useless.

[@justanothercommenterwithan9089]

an ability can be broken but the champion who uses's it isn't. all of pykes power budget is in his ult the rest of his kit kinda sucks bbut his ult is super good so it kinda makes up for it

[@phie6648]

I think Nasus passive is one of the most insane abilities that nobody ever really thinks about. Like put that on ANY other ad champ and they would be insanely overpowered

[@noky7379]

So, you're saying that the lifesteal on Nasus is better than his Q?

[@bruh3457]

?? Plenty of ad champions get more lifesteal than nasus passive

[@deuterium2718]

viego's passive nowadays is a good mention for similar reasons to pykes ultimate, if you're low and/or behind, you're basically a health pack, zhonya's and thresh lantern burrito for him, you become a liability for your team just for showing up for an objective same disclaimer that this is more of a commentary on the ability than the champion himself, i can hardly even remember the rest of his kit other than he has aldi brand akshan stealth somewhere in there
