Which Champions Have The BEST Design In League of Legends?

[@djmcwj7369]

I disagre... Yasuo, Riven, Zed, LeBlanc, LeeSin, Nidela,... Are some of the Best disignt Champs and i hate allmost All off the Champs your talking about hear... I wish ther wher a cap like you cant play this noob Champs in Rank so every game would be much faster and skillsbased matchups... The game could be mich more balanct if you know ther only skillsbased Champs instead off the point and click beasts... But Yeah then allot of people wouldend play the game bc it would be to Hard....

Where is my Camille? Honestly, she was imbalanced even in jg but she has a hard kit that is rewarding when learned and is annoying as Riven is. But you cannot deny that she is sooo fun late game... she can literally cancel q with any of her abilities and has one of the hardest and longest combos, but has also a gr8 lore

Jhin is honestly too perfect, the fact that ulting literally makes people dance around to dodge the skillshots. Youre forcing your opponents into a performance, if that isnt lore reflected in gameplay idk what is.

TL;DW Anivia: Almost unchanged since 2009, straight up a mid range scaling mage, arguably boring, but with loyal and admirable players. The wall is the best part. Thresh: Most popular support, fun, flashy, exciting to watch, fluid and smooth gameplay **new lore**. Unlike most other popular champs, feels the most fair. Perfect versatyle and fun kit. Jhin: Best character design in the game, very loved, a different playstyle adc. Good learning curve. Good skins and lore. Fun ult, fun boy. Maybe unbeatable design. Jinx: Fun, cool and crazy feeling character and kit. Most seen league video. Maybe most popular league character. Good comeback potential. Good learning curve and scaling, and fun ultimate. Nami: Most fair champion in the game (or at least enchanter). Q is a really fair skillshot. Hardly ever a bad pick, very versatile. Lee Sin: Overloaded, probably shouldn't be on the list, gets the spot for design only. Most popular champ of all time, and ever present in every league tier. Fun, versatile, and exciting champion. Maybe best representation for league. Orianna: Jack of all traits mid-laner. Rarely ever feels bad to play against. One of the most exciting ults in the game. Shen: Balanced like in the lore. Not too much damage and high potential for impact over the game, (or useless deppending on the player). Fun and skill expressive tank. Sion: Maybe the only tank to let a lot of skill and oportunity shine through, unlike most tanks. Fun builds and one-tricks. TF: Faker said tf should be learned by any mid laner because it teaches you to look at the minimap and play the game. Not strong laner, plays the map. Needs to be good at the game to succeed. Warwick: Best rework ever. From most boring champion in the game to fun, interactive gameplay, and preserved kit and identity. Some bugs in there. Xerath: Teaches you to skillshot and dodge. Best scripter champion because it rewards you the most for accurate skillshoting. Always room for improvement with the ceiling being scripters.

So I just thought maybe you would like to know that, for whatever reason a few weeks ago YT wedged one of your videos into my recommended vids/channels somewhere and something about the title and thumbnail made me watch it. The thing is, I have never watched a League video before, ever. But on top of that, _I've never played League of Legends in my life_ - nor have I ever felt any inclination to. After watching a dozen-or-so videos and subscribing to a channel about a game I have literally never played, I feel - for the first time in the ten years the game has been out - like maybe I _am_ missing out on something. Making something as deep as a competitive MOBA so logical and rationally understood is no easy feat, and I really thought you should be commended for how clean, interesting and educational your videos are on this subject.

[@AncientHydraGaming]

Because he's one of the few champs to have multiple build options that serve very different roles AND can work effectively consistently. He showed the lethality build cuz it was a short segment and it's honestly more fun to watch. often times alternate build paths follow these two patterns (with examples) -Kai'sa: (AP vs AD) both are damage dealers just vary on damage type. You get a BIT more poke based as Kai'sa if you go FULL AP and not AP/AS (this is usually only used in ARAM). -Amumu: (Tank vs damage) You know what you're gonna get from his tank build consistently while his AP build is usually just cheese and falls flat more often than not. This isn't to say no other champ can have 2 builds that play very different styles. Look at Kennen. His AP build is bursty and for team fights. His AD build is great for 1v1s and split pushing with the occasional appearance in team fights around objectives.

I loved how I could kite with her old kit as a tank/adc or burst with her ap assassin style. There’s not many champs now that can have two complete styles without being overbearing.

[@steelgutz]

Okay but lets talk about Camille, her lore is cool and her kit and model is connected to it. Her kit is fair and it really gives you the spy-feeling and fantasy shes presented as in the lore and lets not forget her log in screen music, its literally spot on with her personality.

[@joshc.8489]

She's too hard to learn how to play properly and master and only good in certain match ups. Most of the champs in the video are more all rounders, not too hard to learn, can fit in most team comps, not too OP in late or early game.

[@steelgutz]

Josh C. I was thinking more design rather than gameplay but I get what you mean

[@aleksm4518]

Personally, I would like to add Ekko to your list: - His visual design is and how well it reflects his story is Top 15 imo - His abilities are like no other (aside from his 3 hit passive) - Arguably the most dynamic and mobile assassin, alongside Zed - While he wasn't very balanced on release and during Tank Ekko meta, he's been sitting comfortable at 50% winrate or below for a really long time. Only recently did he actually become a strong option.

[@tomazpastore3618]

Well, i coudnt disagree with you more. I personally like Ekko too, but thru the years he dosnt seen to fit to a defined category of champion. I mean, sometimes he was played like a fighter, tank and assassin. Mid, top or jungle? His kit is nice, but the champion itself cant find his way.

[@heidtb6746]

As a jungle Main, i love Junglers, that are interacting with jungle-Elements, such as Kindred, who gives Counter jungling a bit more fun, Poppy, who interacts with walls and makes it so fun to use in a jungle encounter, etc. Both of those champions arent op, but they are so funny to play, because the jungle is not only an exp farm, but rather an objective to use to your advantage

[@Shaggy87781]

@19:32 i feel like velkoz fits entirely with the same reason for why xerath is so well designed. The skill expression while being fun and effective is all very similar between the two

[@PKdororo]

I think the one knock against Velkoz is that xerath did it first, so when Velkoz was released, there wasn't a lot to make him unique. Also Velkoz didn't really have a place in league until his passive got changed to deal true dmg and help shred tanks.

[@douglasjordan9259]

Awesome video as per usual. I always though Darius, while having balance issues, was a really well designed champ post rework. He feels like the perfect juggernaut and really captures the feeling of a raidboss. He also has some counter-play to his kit with his q and he feels pretty fair with his stack mechanic and his vulnerability to kiting. Thats just my opinion though.

[@Exil22]

Thank you and yeah darius is cool!

[@Derploop]

Agree, he's an incredibly well designed champ. He just suffers due to the number of champs who've been made hyper mobile and are/and ADCs with waaaaay too much DPS meaning he just needs to be a massive stat ball who will 2 shot kill you when ahead- but weirdly will still die if the enemy team has a thresh or Alistair. A very oppressive champ in the right circumstances and always terrifying to play because he might just get a series of back to back 1v1s and 1v2s or a 1v1 into a teamfight and just ruin your team, but he requires really good positioning and fight picking from the person piloting him and if you know the matchup well he has a lot of counter play on many (not all, Mundo) options. The Vlad matchup comes to mind, where the average Darius blasts the average Vlad in lane but where the Vlad can just play perfectly and never even be in danger while CSing and outscaling.

[@nicks4769]

[@hockeycrafter6086]

Personally my favorite champion overall is xerath and I’m going to be making a case for him here. Xerath shares the spot with lux for the definition of a long range mage. But while lux only needs to hit one ability to insta burst you, xerath is much more skill expressive than Lux and can do more damage if you hit your skill shots. He has awesome lore an the best dance in the game (eat your heart out Kayn and orhn) his damge and range are obvious strengths but his low mobility and reliance on skill shots makes him extremely fair to play against. Overall show this champ some love he definetly deserves it (we need a dark star xerath skin rito pls)

Let's not mention that's he's the only unique champ that interacts with his mount, which can lead to some sick plays and he's surprisingly fun to watch

Thank you I really appreciate that...

[@gergoserfozo1060]

I know i'm a bit late to the party, but i agree with Jhin being on the list a 100%! It's no surprise that he's incredibly balanced, but the fact, that you just simply can't go apeshit with him when snowballing, as you would with a jinx, a varus or even a caitlyn makes him one of the most skill expressive adcs throughout the entire game. You have to evaluate risks, being incredibly precise with your basic attacks and abilities, and you can turn into a solocarry anytime because of the good game design. During the laning phase, you literally have to count your basic attacks subconciously all the time. Evaluating if a trade or a quick catch would be good for you on the long run or not. Lacking escape spells, relying on movement speed and a decent CC (which is a skillshot by the way) means you can counter him pretty well, but also, if your dodgeing mechanics are on point, there is no chance that anything will hit you aside from point and click spells. It's incredibly fun to play, and is not too punishing to play against, as long as you identify his weakpoints. Good job Rito, you did something great at least!

[@petarblajic]

Id argue having ashe on this list for reasons similar to tf. If you can play ashe you can play any adc. Having no escape but a constant slow forces you to understand the power of kiting, proper auto attack canceling and stuttersteping. Her e also plays into learning the jg rotation and understanding pathing and where to use it. A normal ashe is an adc. A great ashe is a kiting god with constant vision of objectives and the posibility of picks with her r. Ty for listening to my ted talk...

This is a great list, Jinx Jhin Thresh Anivia Nami Warwick are all champs I love playing, and don't get mad getting beaten by. They're all fair and skill expressive without feeling frustrating. The one i'd personally add is Gnar, I absolutely love his kit, and he's one of the only champs who I find fun to play, win or lose. Great video!

[@Thex57]

I’m so happy shen was here, he’s my favorite champ by far

[@FloresNewgate]

Azir and Ekko are pretty amazing. Azir's voice acting, the mighty "emperor" theme and ordering soldiers to attack... I initially picked him up solely because of his quote when he spawns a soldier: "Soldier, onward!". I like Ekko but maybe that's because I'm a sucker for the idea of time manipulation, but the idea of him returning to where he was 4 seconds ago was very new to me.

[@benji0054]

Bilegjargal yes but azir kit design is fun but awful to balance. It’s either op or awful so riot had to make him bad to make other people have fun

[@kaz6976]

@@danielkubicek9108 I think Aatrox was the worst rework simply because it wasn't a rework. They just made a new character. Besides, I think Urgot wasn't creepy, he was fun to laugh at, but I had no fun playing him and I thought he was annoying to learn. New Urgot is more friendly + his design looks MUCH better.

[@Tesoro1996]

Depends on what does design mean to you. I still miss Bard and Kindred in this list as they both have really original and interesting designs and I love them both! Although I must agree, Jhin has the best design and I dont think any other champion could top that ever.

[@casperaaron5530]

Kindred's lore is lovely but their design in game is really not great. I feel like the concept of them being two separate entities wasn't really well translated to gameplay, because Wolf feels much more like a sidekick or pet than a partner or other half to Lamb. Wolf also doesn't feel scary, which I think he probably should given that he's the spirit of violent death if I recall correctly. That's just my thoughts on the matter though, if you like Kindred's design, that's totally cool with me and I'm glad you enjoy it.

[@Tesoro1996]

@@casperaaron5530 that is true, Wolf never felt like a separate entity, I mean, he should have more presence in their kit.

[@asmahasmalaria8596]

My favorite champion from a design perspective (and as a main at some point) is actually Rumble. He's easy to learn and hard to master, with straightforward and easy to use basic abilities, that only deal good damage when you manage your heat properly. Also they all serve a distinct purpose: Q for consistent damage and waveclear, W for escaping or tanking hits, E for slowing an enemy to escape or chase them. He has all kinds of combos for every situation, which you need to use correctly (and remember how much heat they give you), you can't just spam. Once you picked up how to use which ability, you need to master your ultimate. It's a weird and unusual hit box, and it can be easy to completely miss it, but if you hit that sweet, sweet money, this ability will win you games. What I like most is that positioning is key. You have no blink, no jump, just a very weak and short boost to movement speed, so you really need to know where you must be for every situation. Also he's very fair, he is kind of a lane bully, but not nearly as oppressive as others, and very easily beaten by ganks, because he has no jump. And he doesn't even really snowball. Sure, he can get fed, but his clear weaknesses are easily exploited by an expierienced player. And even if Rumble gets behind, because of his high base damages, he will always have some impact, it never feels like you're totally useless. I never cared much about lore, but Rumbles design clearly means that he is some kind of mini person who made up for it by building a huge mech in which he fights against evil or whatever. Every ability reflects that, Rumble build everything in this mech by taking stuff from a scrapyard and building weapons out of it. And you really feel that by playing him, he feels kind of wonky and weird at first, but once you get a grasp on how to use this scrapyard mech, you feel much more rewarded, because you just killed an elite Noxian general with something built out of scrap metal and steam machines. And after you played a bit with Rumble, he actually feels very smooth to play.

@@BCBigCoyote they removed Kassadin's silence a long time ago because it was unhealthy. And they have done a few mini reworks on Ahri's charm a few times. And Both Ahri E, and Ekko W is much easier to dodge than Akali R. However Ahri is pretty unfair to play against rn, but that is because of Glacial augment not Ahri's kit herself.
