Riot next passive: If you get a first blood you win the game, if the enemy does you lose the game. Its a balanced passive. 50% of the time you win and 50% of the time you lose. Doesnt matter if its fun.
Actually, they’re going to rework Twisted fate so that so that every q he had a 3/60 chance of obtaining a xodiae card and after getting five of them, the next auto attack one shots anything that is not Baron/Elder/Rift/Drake
lmfao. yea its like when you were a kid and you were choosing powers to fight your friends. you would just stack them. lmfao. i can fly and shooot lasers and i can control the wind and i can teleport and i have x ray vision!
Not really as Skooch said he's a hard champion. I mean it's not hard to imagine that half of the players using him will just E into 1v5 and die immediately because they're trying to get a scoundrel bounty
@@mifigor1935 Yeah. But if you have half a brain and you're coordinated there's not really anything the enemy team can do. They're slowly making it nigh impossible to play simple and fun champions by introducing all these ridiculous concepts like literally saying nope to death timers. Even if its hard that shouldn't even make it into beta let alone the final product.
@@mifigor1935 Difficulty doesn't justify potential power, just because Pantheon is easier than Qiyana that doesn't mean Qiyana has by design to be a better champion. Even moreso, if the difficulty curve depends on the average player being stupid and not the champion itself being actually difficult, then it's not actual difficulty: Akshan may have a shitton of lines of effects, but remember, they're all passive: they just exist, the player themselves has to do nothing wacky to activate them.
@@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
When you explained his ultimate I was like: imma do a little bit of trolling and wrote a comment that said "seems weak, it should apply his passive" and then I unpaused and it actually fucking applies his passive wtf
Saw you 3 vids in a row today. Meme, Joey (TheAnimeMan)’s collab and now League. One after the other. At this point, I’m inclined to believe Just Some Guy Without a Mustache is the trump card of the RUclips algorithm. Or perhaps, he is the ruler of RUclips itself.
Please, when Riot implements the passive: "every time a champion attacks while Yuumi attached to them, they use Yuumi as a bat to somehow deal more damage but Yuumi takes that damage as well" then I'll be convinced.
Akshan gets a Vayne skill at the start of the game and my favorite champ needs 15 seconds to be able to use the passive again. Poppy is trash compared to this dude.
Boy, remember when killing a unit with Ashe gave her like, 2 extra gold, and Riot said "no she gets too much money for playing the game normally" And now there's Pyke and Akshan.
"Harder champions have lower win rate" *Aurelion Sol cries in being so hard and clunky that his win rate is so over inflated because nobody wants to touch him except one tricks*
@@peterd4047 Yep, it's so stupid, he's already in a miserable state and riot refuses to actually fix it because they'd actually look at the stats and think about why they're like that. I adored Aurelion Sol before the huge changes that made him like he is now and it's heartbreaking to see my favorite champion being kicked while he's down
@@rhythmiccolor9648 they made the slow as part of the nerf due to the shurileya and helm meta with +3 boots, where blitz just waltz in like a motherfking angel of dead on flash steroid, punch you in the face with knock up and silence; and even if you flash, blitz will grab your ass right back where you started. And their solution... was making him slow after he did all of that xD
Rito is fucking thinkin they are making Invoker from Dota 2 with these "complex skills". Fucking not, is just shitty like Aphelios, they will never achieve that level of good design
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.
I think Akshan would have been fine if they cut his W's passive in half and made the scoundrel bit his passive with a cooldown on the reviving. Heck, he could even do extra damage to scoundrels and I'd be fine with that.
Yes that's what I was thinking, like it shouldn't be a full revive they could just cut the revive cooldown in half, they could even make it scale with level so the revive cooldown gets lower and lower, but a full revive off the bat seems a bit unbalanced imo
Friendly reminder Zilean gets a 99% movespeed increase he can functionally double cast and he can use it on himself and allies and *still* doesn't slow himself :p
"... Stinger can be recast after 1 second to add one stack of ' Ya like jazz?' Ya like jazz can be stacked up to three times which can be consumed to summon a mosquito."
That resurrection passive sounds really strange. It's going to be useless in like 80% of situations, but those 20% are going to feel like the most broken thing ever. End game with long queue timers, if he gets the right kill it'll be like catching the Golden Snitch.
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. I guarantee you it is going to be nerfed.
He doesn't even need a kill. He just needs assist to resurrect and not only that, it grants bonus gold after the revive. Remember that Draven NEED a Kill to have that bonus gold and this is Draven's ONLY PASSIVE. But Akshan only need assist for that bonus gold plus revive your ally and not only that, he had 4 other passives.
Rito PR team: "So Resurrection is a powerful mechanic, and we had to take away a lot of power from the rest of Akshan's kit.' Rito's Balance team: "haha akshan's passive is an entire kit. And the rest of his kit is two kits. Also he can rez his entire team cuz it's cool."
EUphoria Season 8 Episode 9: Dev comes to talk about it. Champions' power budgets are like DnD character sheets. For every cool powerful tool, we reduce their base stats. Also, we want to add things, and if that doesn't work out, we remove them, because it's hard to ADD stuff in retrospect (animations, effects and what not) while removing things is quite easy.
@@jonasvogel3672 And I'd believe that if he were weaker than, say, Cait by a wide margin. His kit has so many goodies in it his starting stats and scaling should be hilariously bad... But it's not.
@@cottoncandylol7175 Those are ability passives. His true passive (P) is just a flavoured Vayne passive with extra toppings. If you add up all his passives and ability passives you can probably fit 2 of Garen’s entire skill set in there.
@@WedgeOfHeaven Ability passives he will have from level 3 onward (or before) and are still quite important to note, considering they are still passive traits he will still have the vast majority of the game. But Vayne with extra toppings is still too generous. Just his innate level 1 passive still has double shot, move speed, shield, and 3 proc (that applies on autos AND abilities).
My biggest critique of Askhan was that reading his kit was reading 10 different champions abilities put together the only original things are they hook and the w passive.
theres 2 options here 1. the assholes that min max and read modules before hand or make characters that proc 10+ abbilities and take 20 mins to do their turn 2. that one kid that says "no, you cant do that to me because I can (power that counters yours)"
That’s why I stopped playing. They just can’t seem to balance the game. A hot fix comes out every odd week or so, nerfing Champions into oblivion, making others OP, two weeks later the same shit happens all over again. It’s so fucking stupid.
Yet they keep spamming out new Champs. It’s almost impossible to learn this game as a newbie, you need hundreds of hours just to figure out what champion can do what, further more estimate cooldowns and what not. It’s a joke.
Veigar Passive: haha AP stacks when hit things Q: hit thing and if they die get stack W: damage ball that happen more with stack E:hit wall get stun R: kills u if u low but magic
Throw Sion onto that list too. On the bright side if you have a DoT in play, you could potentially get the kill that gives Akshan a takedown and revive yourself via his ability... Yeah the more I think about it, the more BS this champ is.
Remember back when Ezreal was so cool cause he had a jump that WASN'T your flash? Now it just seems like a champion is really slow when they don't have a built in dash.

Funny thing is, people have complained about his E for so long, that Riot have nerfed the cd so many times and people still think its broken. But funny thing is, what about all these new champions who has Ezreals E, but better?
@@janaspengler4169 lmao I disagree. nobody is faster than Anivia because her items give her movespeed while she slows everyone down. same with Orianna. Viktor goes Phase Rush. Veigar has a stun you CANNOT dash across whatsoever. Ziggs has a spammable poke and if you roam, your turrets are down. Heimerdinger gets movespeed around his turrets. yeah no, "playing control mage bad cuz everyone fast" is not the case because you're not slow yourself.
There's actually a really easy solution to power creep: Don't be afraid to have different units posses the same ability. The abilities don't have to have the same names, but they can *function* the same. All the roulette-ability-gain style modes in games prove that interesting combos of old abilities can be as fun as new abilities. There is no logical reason why we can't just have the champion using Gnar's Q. It's like they gave him Gnar's Q then just said "No wait, it has to be better. Give it more." for no reason. It doesn't need any of that other garbage.
Or Sivirs, I really don't get why Akshan's boomerang has a reveal, I would get it if it was lower range than Sivir's but gained range when hitting things, but the revealing mechanic seems to have been slapped there just for the hell of it. I am even fine with it proccing his passive as the damage on the skill is lower, but why reveal? What was the logic? Is his boomerang laced in fucking pixie dust and just turns things visible when hitting like fucking DnD Fairy Fire? Back then kits had a theme, now, there is nothing, it is just a bunch of stuff thrown together. Lee Sin reveals with his skills because he is blind and trained his senses, Corki shoots phosphorus which covers you and sparkles to reveal you. Akshan? Boomerang goes vrumm.

@@fyctssss Sivir's has a niche where you can technically hit a target more than twice if you clip it as it shifts somehow. Gnar's doesn't but it has the benefit of flying past him if he fails to catch it, which can be exploited for extra reach. It also has the detriment of wanting to catch it, and Sivir's being seeking. A midway where it has the hitbox / multihit of Gnar boomerange without the Gnar catch mechanic is unique enough to be its own ability, probably.
@@rhetthayes5981 In lane sustain is always gonna be strong if not dealt with delicately. You can laugh at Nasus for having lifesteal as a passive but literally most champs will take bloodline as a rune just to they have sustain. Jax has ZERO innate healing. I would love it if they change it up so he heals a bit so he doesn't get bullied in lane in a matchup against a champ with healing. Imagine if Riot made it so Nasus has a flat 20% lifesteal at all levels. That would be stupidly broken. Because then all he has to do it fuckin take Tear and he virtually has infinite resources. Point is, the older passives are stupidly simple but strong in their own right. It's like comparing a fucking assassin to a bruiser and going, "huh i wish my x champ has Darius levels of durability while still being able to oneshot squishies in half a second" it makes zero sense when you say it out loud.
Yeah there's something INHERENTLY WRONG with the very existence of Akshan. And it is 'Fuck Balance, he's my snowflake character' syndrome. Often only seen in fanfics.
I have been saying the same thing ever since he came out fuck all that reviving invisible and 3 shot stuff just make him oriented around his grappling hook. The only abilitie I like from his kit and I find to be very skill based actually is his E

@@cookiebandit101 even better: revert the game to before the map visual update 😍 And revert all champs to their original "form", such as ryze, sion, morg and so on
Oh yeah, easy fix for this revive shit. Have it so that when the scoundrel dies, the champs they killed get their death timers reduced by the same percent of damage Akshan did to the Scoundrel. If he solo killed them from full, insta revive. If he tapped them with an auto and did 10% HP, they get 2 seconds off their 20 second timer.

what do u mean "before we make u"? they already making people quit the whole season but why would they care about those old og players who play for fun and doesnt pay them if they get new players from promoting

@@zelder1371 Uhm, according to the original champion spotlight it kinda feels it had one passive. That was that his basic abilities stack "ferrocity" and when stacked those abilities change.
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
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.
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.
People always say that on new champs but last 10 champs I don't see that often and they're certainly not op. Gwen, Yone, Sett and Senna are pretty good and I see often but Viego, Rell, Seraphine, Samira, Lilia, Aphelios and Qiyana I don't see very often.
Remember when everybody lost their shit at Sett's passive and how "wordy" that was, when all it did was "Sett one-two's people with his autoattacks, and the second one hits a little harder", and "Sett gets regen scaling on missing health"? Rito was like, *Bruh, hold my Elixir of Iron*.
Jhin Passive - Innate - Death In 4 Acts: Jhin's basic attacks consume ammunition for 4 rounds. He will reload over 2.5 seconds immediately after expending all rounds or withholding leftover rounds after 10 seconds of being out of combat and not being affected by  crowd control. The latter reload can be interrupted by declaring an attack or casting an ability. Jhin's final round attack has an  uncancelable windup versus champions, always  critically strikes its target, including  structures, and also deals 15 / 20 / 25% (based on level) of the target's as bonus physical damage to non-structures. Innate - Every Moment Matters: Jhin gains 4% − 44% (based on level)「 (+ 0.3% per 1% critical strike chance) (+ 0.25% per 1% bonus attack speed) 」「 (+ 30% of his critical strike chance) (+ 25% of his bonus attack speed) 」 AD as . Additionally, critical strikes grant Jhin 10% (+ 0.4% per 1% bonus attack speed) for 2 seconds.
I was so excited to main Vex when she comes out but seeing how overloaded everything recently is I honestly don't want to bother unless she is as simple as Seraphine or Lillia.

Depending on the champions kit that could actually be an acceptable passive, if it's like magic/physical damage it's essentially just a bleed. Let's be honest Vayne's passive is stronger than what you describe here.
This is the equivalent of a kid making up new rules every time they start losing. This may not be an original comment but it REALLY feels like that here.
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.
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
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.
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.
@@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.
@@SomeKata Years ago, back when I consistently played, I got really salty about Vayne one day. Got so mad that, in a suggestion thread for new champs, I suggested a character who could temporarily disable passives and be something like a buff pauser, limiting them down to only active abilities and stats for the duration. Everyone just brushed me off and said it was useless outside of a couple niche scenarios. From the looks of things, it would now be one of the most powerful abilities in the game

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

They would want that if we had more champs like Jayce and Nidalee with 6 abilities and an ultimate that transforms
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.
I think Akshan would have been fine if they cut his W's passive in half and made the scoundrel bit his passive with a cooldown on the reviving. Heck, he could even do extra damage to scoundrels and I'd be fine with that.
the revive should've just been the first person the scoundrel killed imo.
@@dividedbyzero4 It could lead to people trying to focus people down diffrently to outplay enemy Akshans if they prove to be dangerous
Yes that's what I was thinking, like it shouldn't be a full revive they could just cut the revive cooldown in half, they could even make it scale with level so the revive cooldown gets lower and lower, but a full revive off the bat seems a bit unbalanced imo
But here’s the thing; PEOPLE WILL STILL BITCH ABOUT THE REVIVE
Instead of reviving it should just heal him back to full after a takedown
All this and blitzcrank still slows himself.

That resurrection passive sounds really strange. It's going to be useless in like 80% of situations, but those 20% are going to feel like the most broken thing ever. End game with long queue timers, if he gets the right kill it'll be like catching the Golden Snitch.
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. I guarantee you it is going to be nerfed.
He doesn't even need a kill. He just needs assist to resurrect and not only that, it grants bonus gold after the revive. Remember that Draven NEED a Kill to have that bonus gold and this is Draven's ONLY PASSIVE. But Akshan only need assist for that bonus gold plus revive your ally and not only that, he had 4 other passives.
Rito PR team: "So Resurrection is a powerful mechanic, and we had to take away a lot of power from the rest of Akshan's kit.'
Rito's Balance team: "haha akshan's passive is an entire kit. And the rest of his kit is two kits. Also he can rez his entire team cuz it's cool."
EUphoria Season 8 Episode 9: Dev comes to talk about it. Champions' power budgets are like DnD character sheets. For every cool powerful tool, we reduce their base stats. Also, we want to add things, and if that doesn't work out, we remove them, because it's hard to ADD stuff in retrospect (animations, effects and what not) while removing things is quite easy.
@@jonasvogel3672 And I'd believe that if he were weaker than, say, Cait by a wide margin. His kit has so many goodies in it his starting stats and scaling should be hilariously bad...
But it's not.
The first time I saw Akshan:
Wow, this custom champion almost looks legit... What you mean he's not fan-made?
The mostly irritating part about his passive is that it’s not anything revolutionary or game changing or anything, it’s just 3 passives cramp into 1.
69 likes. Nice
Its three OTHER CHAMPION skills. Literally just a mishmash of other heroes. The busted resurrect is the only thing unique about him.
3?
He has:
Passive Shield
Passive 3-hit proc
Passive double auto (lucian esq.)
Passive Movespeed
Passive at-base ally respawner
Passive Warwick trail
Passive mana regen
Passive movespeed again
Passive "villain" ability (garen esq.)
Passive Reveal (depending on a skillshot) [Fuck you Akali and wukong]
Passive Cooldown reset on huge gapclose ability
Passive gaining additional gold
@@cottoncandylol7175 Those are ability passives. His true passive (P) is just a flavoured Vayne passive with extra toppings. If you add up all his passives and ability passives you can probably fit 2 of Garen’s entire skill set in there.
@@WedgeOfHeaven Ability passives he will have from level 3 onward (or before) and are still quite important to note, considering they are still passive traits he will still have the vast majority of the game.
But Vayne with extra toppings is still too generous. Just his innate level 1 passive still has double shot, move speed, shield, and 3 proc (that applies on autos AND abilities).
My biggest critique of Askhan was that reading his kit was reading 10 different champions abilities put together the only original things are they hook and the w passive.

2. that one kid that says "no, you cant do that to me because I can (power that counters yours)"
Picking the "wrong favorite character" sums League up perfectly.
That’s why I stopped playing. They just can’t seem to balance the game. A hot fix comes out every odd week or so, nerfing Champions into oblivion, making others OP, two weeks later the same shit happens all over again. It’s so fucking stupid.
Yet they keep spamming out new Champs. It’s almost impossible to learn this game as a newbie, you need hundreds of hours just to figure out what champion can do what, further more estimate cooldowns and what not. It’s a joke.

yeah no, "playing control mage bad cuz everyone fast" is not the case because you're not slow yourself.
There's actually a really easy solution to power creep: Don't be afraid to have different units posses the same ability.
The abilities don't have to have the same names, but they can *function* the same. All the roulette-ability-gain style modes in games prove that interesting combos of old abilities can be as fun as new abilities.
There is no logical reason why we can't just have the champion using Gnar's Q. It's like they gave him Gnar's Q then just said "No wait, it has to be better. Give it more." for no reason. It doesn't need any of that other garbage.
Or Sivirs, I really don't get why Akshan's boomerang has a reveal, I would get it if it was lower range than Sivir's but gained range when hitting things, but the revealing mechanic seems to have been slapped there just for the hell of it.

Is his boomerang laced in fucking pixie dust and just turns things visible when hitting like fucking DnD Fairy Fire?

@@fyctssss Sivir's has a niche where you can technically hit a target more than twice if you clip it as it shifts somehow.
Gnar's doesn't but it has the benefit of flying past him if he fails to catch it, which can be exploited for extra reach. It also has the detriment of wanting to catch it, and Sivir's being seeking.
A midway where it has the hitbox / multihit of Gnar boomerange without the Gnar catch mechanic is unique enough to be its own ability, probably.

@@rhetthayes5981 In lane sustain is always gonna be strong if not dealt with delicately.
You can laugh at Nasus for having lifesteal as a passive but literally most champs will take bloodline as a rune just to they have sustain. Jax has ZERO innate healing. I would love it if they change it up so he heals a bit so he doesn't get bullied in lane in a matchup against a champ with healing.
Imagine if Riot made it so Nasus has a flat 20% lifesteal at all levels. That would be stupidly broken. Because then all he has to do it fuckin take Tear and he virtually has infinite resources.
Point is, the older passives are stupidly simple but strong in their own right.

"Upon dying, Karthus enters a spirit form that allows him to continue casting spells."
In short, karthus stays for 10 more secs
I remember when I thought Sona was a complex champion...
Someone in chat said "his q breaks your internet and his w kills you irl" and that sent me
Oh man, I don't know what ADC to play, oh wait I'll just be ALL OF THE ADC'S
Riot: We can't be creative anymore so what makes new champs unique isn't a cool mechanic like ekko R or Elise transformation, but the fact that they are just op lmao
Just play Kai'sa, same shit...
You mean samira or akshan? They both have this same problem, I bet the next Adc will be this too.
@@abhishektyagi7402 I don't see how a god damn grappling hook and soundrel system is less interesting than teleporting to where you were 4 seconds ago and healing but ok
You know Riot made him to be played as a mid but I dont even see it.
"I gotta go to bed at night knowing I chose the wrong favorite character."
It's why Ryze mains are fuckin depressed.
My favorite character is a weird (but cute) monster that spits on people and explodes on death.
I just summed up everything Kog'maw does in that sentence and that kind of makes me extremely sad?
Same shit with Azir
Gp mains feel you
@@cheesaac "GP"?
Ryze? My fav is Nasus. It is very fun to be smacked about by hybrid and true dmg. While also not being able to get in range. /s
Glad to see Riot brought back Revive mechanic, sure was a fun thing everybody liked! /s
Zilean has existed for a while and his revive is on a 30 sec cooldown. At least for Akshan the revive is at fountain and not on the scene.
@@thesun5275 if zilean revives you, the enemy team still has a good 5 seconds to murder everyone else and then focus you. With akshan he just makes them ignore death and come back with new items a few seconds later. It's much less fun imo
wym /s give my boy Aatrox back his revive

I really like how Singed's ULTIMATE gives him less movement speed than Akshan's W
That's because he gains a bunch of other stats other than movement speed lol
@@whoknows7415 No me want fast bald guy, gib me da speed.
Akshan doesn't gain move speed unless there's a scoundrel
To be fair, Singed is old af and not a well designed champion. He shouldn't be the benchmark. Compare Akshan to Tristana or Sivir instead.
The passive description is like how manga authors title their manga today.
“My Overpowered Midlaner from another world can’t be this cute!!”
@@DillonChichester too short. If its not 3 times that it's not a really manga/manhua/idfk what title
Those are light novel titles not manga titles. Manga originals still get names like "undead unluck" "candy flury" "chainsaw man" and whatnot.
@@bencegergohocz5988 Oh ok, also is there a limit to how long it can be? If there is Im curious if someone started writing and used full possible space, like every single letter. And if there is not I need to check what is the longest title.
hey remember when Riot removed Revive cause it was too much of an issue
RIP Aatrox
They removed it because no one ever used it omegaluk
At this point, they should at least bring It back
@@shadowofthemarsh2203 Remember revive AD Evelynn ? She used revive to be able to jungle. It was an invisible master Yi with a Stun. Tbh, she was cracked, I would do more than 20 kills every game.
@@emptystuff1593 was broken for sure but that was more because eve was disgusting with the stun+invis combo than anything
Akshan w is like a whole champion. It’s got an active, which has a passive, and it has a passive, which gives people passive marks, which has a ultimate level passive effect.
Can you still call it "a" passive when it is 5 passives?
It's passive-agressive.
Probably better to say it is THE passive.
Rengar has 3 passive and he came out like 8 years ago tbf
@@zelder1371 Uhm, according to the original champion spotlight it kinda feels it had one passive. That was that his basic abilities stack "ferrocity" and when stacked those abilities change.
@@ArgKnoxville86
-Ranged auto in bushes
-Ferocity
-Bonetooth necklace
That's three separate passive if you ask me
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
*ahem*
Aphelios
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.
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.
Akshan is so broken he is going to be banned even in blind picks
Just pick it and someone dodge the whole game.
People always say that on new champs but last 10 champs I don't see that often and they're certainly not op. Gwen, Yone, Sett and Senna are pretty good and I see often but Viego, Rell, Seraphine, Samira, Lilia, Aphelios and Qiyana I don't see very often.
@Lukas Borck wow two Champs. They were only broken becuasd people didn't want to learn how tonplay against them
He's not even that broken
His W passive sounds hilarious in one for all
Lol right, one for all akshan vs akshan 😂😂😂
Remember when everybody lost their shit at Sett's passive and how "wordy" that was, when all it did was "Sett one-two's people with his autoattacks, and the second one hits a little harder", and "Sett gets regen scaling on missing health"?
Rito was like, *Bruh, hold my Elixir of Iron*.
Jhin Passive - Innate -
Death In 4 Acts: Jhin's basic attacks consume ammunition for 4 rounds. He will reload over 2.5 seconds immediately after expending all rounds or withholding leftover rounds after 10 seconds of being out of combat and not being affected by  crowd control. The latter reload can be interrupted by declaring an attack or casting an ability.
Jhin's final round attack has an  uncancelable windup versus champions, always  critically strikes its target, including  structures, and also deals 15 / 20 / 25% (based on level) of the target's as bonus physical damage to non-structures.
Innate - Every Moment Matters: Jhin gains 4% − 44% (based on level)「 (+ 0.3% per 1% critical strike chance) (+ 0.25% per 1% bonus attack speed) 」「 (+ 30% of his critical strike chance) (+ 25% of his bonus attack speed) 」 AD as .
Additionally, critical strikes grant Jhin 10% (+ 0.4% per 1% bonus attack speed) for 2 seconds.
He's basically every league character combined into one.
*Cries in Samira*
I was so excited to main Vex when she comes out but seeing how overloaded everything recently is I honestly don't want to bother unless she is as simple as Seraphine or Lillia. She will probably have a whole essay long passive and I can probably do the same thing just sticking to one-tricking Veigar.
riot has an ongoing kink to make every physical (dmg) champ have a thesis for a passive, I hope they don't contaminate our mages
Vex? What? They already have a new champ incoming?? This one isn't even fully out yet!
@@defiantnight2668 she is the upcoming Yordle mage we have been told about. She had her appearance leaked in the new event cuz she was supposed to come out before Ahkshan but they delayed her.
Yep this is the final nail in the coffin, was fun playing with friends but I've had enough. Now I finally have time to play my Steam titles :)
Hey heroes of the storm doesn't look that bad XD
Aphelios: Finally, a worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary!
His passives are simple, there's just 5 of them
Dude wth are you talking about Aphelios more simple than Akshan
@@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
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
@@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
2030 passive: When you deal 1%demage demage deal 1% demage each second for 10 second No cd
Depending on the champions kit that could actually be an acceptable passive, if it's like magic/physical damage it's essentially just a bleed. Let's be honest Vayne's passive is stronger than what you describe here.
Basically Viego got it
Ain't that literally lillia's passive
"People don't want to buy pinks"
Meanwhile in EUW: top lane spends 5 minutes fighting over who gets to place the pink ward in river in bronze
Fun fact: Rito removed Aatrox’s revive
*Aatrox's revive while moving, then Aatrox's revive
Pantheon: Throws a large spear that does damage
You using this as an example is almost as bad as someone using akali q as an example.
The classic:
-Blitz W: slows himself
Teemo :
Passive : move fast
Active : move faster
Poppy: hammer
Tristana: gets attack range and is STILL outranged by other adcs.
This is the equivalent of a kid making up new rules every time they start losing. This may not be an original comment but it REALLY feels like that here.
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.
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
"200 collective years of game design"
He need a "Can we talk about" for every single ability
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.
That would be really fun tho but you know there gonna fuck it up like yummi
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.
@@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.
Imagine asking someones' job and they answer 'I work at riot balance team' I'd be burst laughing lmaoo
Reminder that they released Sona's remake as a separate character
Samira is literally my Katarina rework. They don't even come up with the shit themselves. It's literally copy-pasted.
@@SomeKata Years ago, back when I consistently played, I got really salty about Vayne one day. Got so mad that, in a suggestion thread for new champs, I suggested a character who could temporarily disable passives and be something like a buff pauser, limiting them down to only active abilities and stats for the duration. Everyone just brushed me off and said it was useless outside of a couple niche scenarios. From the looks of things, it would now be one of the most powerful abilities in the game
@@sorebeick1064 That’s a really stupid idea. Riot will be calling momentarily…
@@sorebeick1064 Sure. My point is though, they are as cheap as possible, OFC the champion team copy-pastes from reddit, otherwise they would have to do real work. Riot exploits 'fanmade' ideas as much as literally possible.
@@SomeKata Why be creative when you can follow your tencent overlord's example and s t e a l
Do you guys remember when Riot removed Aatrox revive and double stack E because it was considered too OP?... Yeah, just a reminder.
If only he was selling skins...
Yeah but reworked aatrox at his strongest was obnoxious
@@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.
@@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
Shesh, and here I thought Aphelios and Fiore had a lot going for their kits
at this point fiora is simple
Aphelios is really simple
@@eternallycute6756 indeed
aphelios is 2 abilities (apart from weapon swap) with the text of a whole kit on each one
Going the YuGiOh route, I see! Every ability will have a paragraph to explain how it works, but you'll still have to google around to see _"Well does X's ability proc over Y's ability?"_
