@@Tom-re6zo Akshan seems pretty lackluster in game, the only real value he has is that w, his q does no damage, he has very low mobility because that hook doesn't do anything realistically, his r has an INSANE amount of counterplay, and his stealth reveal circle is literally the size of the lane. You don't have enought tf value as an akshan until you kill someone and by then the enemy team, if they have, even less than half a brain will focus you down and kill you, and if they're playing anyone who isnt akshan and you aren't severely behind you will beat the akshan, because akshan damage isnt actually all that good unless you're fed

According to their tweets, answers and QnAs it's not difficult to figure out that most of the people that works at Riot is powertripping. They all act like "Oh I'm the designer and you're not so I know better than you what you want". We've seen this extensively with Aphelios in LoL (the famous 200+ years tweet) and in Legends of Runeterra when they tried to deepthroat the Azirelia deck in the players' gullets and kept repeating that the deck was healthy, balanced and interesting and we were not good enough to figure out. The only difference is that the LoR team figured out the problem with their approach to the game, the LoL team not so much.

[@hansjurgen4567]

As long as he revives one Champ in a team fight, doesnt matter if fight won or lost, it is already pretty strong. Becouse at the verry least this revived champ can farm and earn xp and gold and/or ward to set up vision for the next objetive. Depending on who survived the fight in the enemy team it might even completly deny a push or baron. In the early game, your jungler/laner beeing alive 10 seconds before the enemy can lead to such an momentum advantage. This has the potential to be a nightmare for highelo and Proplay.

Riot is more focused on cramming alot of mechanics into one champion, that could be put into multiple. They seem to care less about balance then they do slapping mechanics on a champ. The thing about most older champions, they can come back into the meta with item changes/scaling or base damage adjustments, but newer characters have so much that they will most likely be super strong for a long time

[@owo4470]

*ahem* Aphelios

[@silent7159]

I think that's what they want. Having to adjust multiple different elements to make a champ good or bad cause more problems later on. Buffing or nerfing an item can inadvertently break or kill a champion. Making newer ones have multiple elements allows them to adjust individual champions rather than multiple. Like how Aatrox lost his revive and healing on non champions.

[@mayguardian1]

it’s not just the mechanics themselves. riot wants to make the core gameplay gimmick work so bad (qiyana and terrain, aphelios and his guns, yuumi and being attached to her ally) that they overload their kits to cater to the “champion fantasy”. they didn’t want to give qiyana a root, invisibility, an aoe stun, %health damage, bonus magic damage, a dash, etc., they just felt like without it you wouldn’t feel like an assassin harnessing the power of the elements. if aphelios’ guns didn’t change his ult and q and give passive effects, wouldn’t he kinda be jinx with more guns? if yuumi wasn’t permanently untargetable, wouldn’t she just be a bad version of soraka? the real problem is that every core mechanic is already the “champion fantasy” of a different champ. take all of akshan’s mechanics. extra damage every 3 hits? vayne. 2 attacks per auto? lucian. w cast to go invis? twitch. scoundrel trails? warwick. even the extra gold from w is in the collector’s passive. the only really unique mechanics he has are his e and the revive, which is why i don’t foresee riot removing them no matter how much the players hate it.

Simpler champions will be just as strong as complex champions. Riot can change numbers and abilities instantly to adjust strengths. Sett is also rather new, but had a comparitively simple kit.

Pantheon: Throws a large spear that does damage

[@metallictoast6044]

You using this as an example is almost as bad as someone using akali q as an example.

[@diogoalfaia3238]

The classic: -Blitz W: slows himself

[@carnivorze1052]

Teemo : Passive : move fast Active : move faster

[@EddieB-ready]

Poppy: hammer

[@АдамАкробатов]

Tristana: gets attack range and is STILL outranged by other adcs.

[@thedragonknight3600]

To the editor, I did! It was a fun game and deserved more attention and backing than it got. Also yeah, when you point it out it DOES look like Nova’s passive.

[@FlyMeTonight]

Do you guys remember when Riot removed Aatrox revive and double stack E because it was considered too OP?... Yeah, just a reminder.

[@Ocean_man_Nauticus]

If only he was selling skins...

[@jacobluneberg597]

Yeah but reworked aatrox at his strongest was obnoxious

[@FlyMeTonight]

@@jacobluneberg597 Yeah, so is Samira, Yone, Kai'sa, etc, for the last years yet the nerfs they get does little to nothing of change. And now we have Akshan coming who can revive the entire team with just his w, and Aatrox just revives himself with his R.

[@nghiatrantrung834]

@@jacobluneberg597 jokes on you, now you have : Samira : literally xinzhao ulti on a basic ability and ridiculous lifesteal ulti with a kit that deal damage so good and so fast , she out burst fucking assassin. And most assassin that have to land some kind of skill shot , her wind wall wins them all. Yone : Yasuo 2.0 , you win early game you win , you lose early game you win cuz u scale so hard and do mix damage of all the damge type with %hp and a shield huge af and can stack conqueror before your opponent even hit the fucking ground. Kaisa : how many time did she got nerf ? She's still dealing too much damage , too easy to play and too hard to kill Akali : pain in the ass to deal with , too mobile , too much damage. Multiple nerf but still viable in pros which make Diamond+ solo q hell. Honestly she's fucking broken and as if those nerf was any good. Irelia : why the fuck did you rework a skill base champ that scale to a scaling champ that is strong in the early game that need silver level of knowledge to play ? Wukong : best stat stick in the fucking game or atleast toplane Gwen : 2nd best stat stick Mean while some champ got literally gutted like fish. You see talon ? His first W can't even last hit now , it's half of his basic attack most of the time. His land sustain is now nonexistance, his W which is pretty hard to lane is now punishing for you to use as a farming tool. Why ? Cuz it deal so much damage on the 2nd part that most the time won't land and will hurt the wave so bad that most of it will be a miss farm. It also fucking ridiculous to see you having 3 item and is a head to miss half the wave bcuz ur W is fucking shit

21:12 "And I have to go to bed at night, knowing that I chose the wrong favorite character." Words that truly describe how league feels most of the time

[@yegorlarychev9810]

11:05 Well, at least that’s not Nova’s second ultimate. Also, just wait until new Yordle character arrives, and we need to control two champions at once.

[@void735]

That would be really fun tho but you know there gonna fuck it up like yummi

[@ReigoVassal]

That's never happen. Riot hate pets so much. Very very much. There will be no champion like Meepo ever. They really hate old Morde so they remove him from the game exactly like Aatrox.

[@yegorlarychev9810]

@@ReigoVassal then I see no point creating a character like Vex (possible name for future Yordle). Because if they put so much detail into her shadow, and then don’t put interesting mechanics in it, they could’ve just make her without the shadow.

Aphelios: Finally, a worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary!

[@facebookuser1653]

His passives are simple, there's just 5 of them

[@pouya8766]

Dude wth are you talking about Aphelios more simple than Akshan

[@Crowned_Hearts]

@@pouya8766 I was thinking this but aphelios's whole gun synergy shit makes him more complicated you have to know how to play with each gun combo

[@Ntwinzz]

Aphelios is still the 200 years champion this isn’t a good comparison. Since idk aphelios has 5 dumbass weapons, get ur fact straight man

[@davsqualetto]

@@pouya8766 lol you dont know what is a "triple weapon combo" aphelios is way more complicated than akshan but he's less overtuned and overloaded cuz u can have only few portion of his entire kit, while akshan can revive people since lvl 2 xd

I mean this is literally one of the rioters OC. In the champ insight he literally admits its his OC donut steel

[@firetarrasque4667]

I mean Technically speaking every character is Riot's OC

[@DrakenRox]

Do you mean persona*? like a self insert? bc OC just means "original character", and all the characters in LoL are OCs lol

No way. got a link where he says it?

[@yvindlavold5741]

@@firetarrasque4667 there is a difference between a team designing a character and a team designing someone's OC.
