I miss Nidalee spears damage scaling on distance from her CURRENT location rather than when she threw it. The throw-catform jump oneshots were glorious.
@kinkinTheWild it also just had better damage numbers in general - max base damage was 575 instead of the 450 it became immediately after her rework, and the maximum ap scaling was 165% instead of the current 150% (was 120% immediately after rework, eventually got buffed)
For me kassawin and skarner are 2 of the most broken champs every existed in league history. Especially kassa before the rework probably had 90% ban rate and around 70% win rate, considering that today we consider op champs that have 53% w/r is pure insanity. New players will probably never experience what really is a broken champ
The old summoners rift had such a great feel to it. It felt like a spooky forest, but felt cozy at the same time. The Winter skin on the original summoners rift was also awesome
AP xin zhao was a nightmare to fight against before. his 3rd hit heal was 90% of your ap and old league has a lot of on hit AP items before like malady
lol dont know how many time i abused of the NAshor tooth, Lichbane and Rabadon build on Yasuo. I wouldn't even care at all about enermies or minions. i was just running down a lane, get to the tower and start blasting and healing lol.
@@JeffreyBezeau Yasuo? You mean xin, right? Yasuo shouldn't be healing off of that, nevermind that by when he got added I'm pretty sure tower shots already scaled.
@@henriquepacheco7473true, yasuo could not heal even with those items. But I don't think turrets scaled during his release just yet (season 3 iirc). If memory serves right, he was already starting to be a menace right before the worst period for turrets (around seasons 4-5, even 6 just before turret plating was added). This was a truly broken period for League. Almost all of the class changes that we know of today (and forgot) came around this time. The assassin update, mage update, juggernaut update, marksman update (recently reverted, etc.
Well, some contenders for the oldies: Kassawin 99.55% ban rate AP Yi AP Sion Old Fiora with 112 AD level 1 Old Evelynn (AP was a menace too, not just that Sunfire thing) AP Nasus when his ult had 100% ratio Release Zyra Release Graves bursting you 100-0 Release Riven Release Diana Release Darius Old Passive Draven (RIP Blood Brothers) Mordekaiser (numero uno) Ryze was OP a LOT of times too Old Poppy The legend of Weedwick 4.20 patch Very often a champion was busted because of the meta, too. Like Fizz/Ekko tank era, or Naut/Maokai giga tank era, red smite shyvana/hecarim top with ignite and tp, and even the infamous black cleaver era, too.
I almost got the victorious Janna😢. I endured invisible eve with sword of the divine, rize's ups and downs, khazix's terror reign (assassins in general), the "better nerf irelia" era, AP Master Yi, AP Tristana, deathfire grasp on ahri, Draven's dot on passive, so on and so forth.
Man, I remember offtank manamune ryze, getting really tanky while still doing insane dps in fights. Good times. Not as goated as statikk shiv triforce alistar top, back when his ultimate gave him stupid amounts of AD for no reason and he could weave an auto in his W, so you always won trade by just doing w+sheen auto.
AP Master Yi and Kha'Zix near release just bring me back to my elementary school days. Telling my friends in like 4th grade I didn't wanna play with them so I could play League was a wild feeling.
I miss Veigar being the Anti-Mage, where you can one shot mages with your ult based on how much AP they have. You can only counter Veigar if you don't play mage against him.
@@stankobarabata2406 Veigar design is fine, there were moments in time where his cage was busted with a bunch of cdr but besides that he was always fine. But making him specifically an anti mage is stupid. Nothing in League should be safe or guaranteed, you should always struggle and not ''me play Veigar you play AP champ me win ooga booga''
AP Sion was an actual menace back in the day. Point and click stun that chunked for half ur hp and a shield that did the other half. Gunblade made you immortal, and the shield scaled with ap if I remember correctly. Ad sion was no pushover either. I’d have like 500 ad with three lifesteal items and 4k hp before 30 minutes. Add an atma’s impaler and by the end of the game you were sitting on easily over 600 ad and would heal like 1k per auto with ult active. Grievous wounds was a joke to og sion. Miss the good old days.
I still remember to this day playing draft, enemy locks in LB first pick and our team counter picks AP Sion. She never stood a chance. Old League was wild.
@@myth-leagueoflegends Riot never admits mistakes and failing to make their game better after over a decade is too much to accept. They know it will kill every other game mode and don't want that even though it will make the game boom again
@@darkgrundi9543Cope. Same thing said about wow classic meanwhile classic private servers have been running since 2010 and are still going strong now with blizzard's classic servers.
The Morde iteration where they gave him his triple bonk and dragon ghost was some wacky shit. Just oneshotting anybody that wasn't a full tank with the 3rd Q, being able to 1v5 if you had a dragon ghost, playing him mid and healing half your hp off the wraiths with your W... Man i miss Old old morde and new old morde.
You should talk about old league's horrifically buggy vision which Riot insisted was a feature. We would have invisible nunu ults simply because he had a toe in the grass.
@@willokeefe1135The ugly shit non functional one is the the we have now, it's like they can't fuckin pay people to do decent work, trash Company forever.
Remember when you could use the chat wheel to assign as many points to a mastery as you wanted for a patch? 0 cd flash and ignite just all over the map.
@@nosoap4204 That was the funniest thing I've seen. There was this Singed in one of my games when that happened who basically had range, killed his lane opponent repeatedly, then started farming everything and being everywhere on the map. It had me in stitches.
I really liked this video, as a fairly newer player it’s super interesting seeing how strong some of the weaker champions today were once at an imaginary level. Great video!
These league history videos are super cool and nostalgic to see. Keep it up man, you are cornering a niche that a lot of old and new players will appreciate
@kinkinTheWild kass was basically permabanned in both comp and soloqueue. He scaled just as hard as he did today, but he also had a decently strong laning phase, between better ratios on his abilities, his q being a point and click silence, and his W letting him sustain mana more effectively than today. His R had way more range, and its mana scaling with repeated uses was significantly lower, meaning he actually had a very strong all in at level 6 already. Plus, he screwed the mostly ap-centric mages that were very common even harder, since his passive meant he would win trades with just his Q and E even while eating a full skill rotation from something like Orianna. About the only mid laner that threatened him well was Zed, which, fair, but even into Zed Kassadin was strong because of how hard he could scale.
For me most broken champs of all time are full dodge chance Jax and perma invisible sunfrire cape Evelyn Full AP yi was also beyond broken but so funny to play. Easiest pentas ever.
I remember the night Leblanc went live. Played in a PC cafe with my friends and I was killing the enemy mid laner at level 3 with no effort, no mind games. Her combined ap ratios were in a different league. I think the only counter was Galio at the time, due to the magic resist runes they'd use in their pages. There's a lot of stuff I thought was ridiculous but most of the time it took someone else's mistake to get the champion to scale that hard. Leblanc was an obvious exception and it was the reason she got fixed immediately.
Recently I got to play Dota 2 for the first time after I played like 10-12 years of League on and off. My friends wanted me to play with them, so I decided to try, After complaining for a while I got into it and now think it's decent but I still prefer league as far as Moba go. Anyway. if Dota taught me one thing it's that old League probably was way closer to original Dota and Dota 2 than it is today. The TF teleporting anywhere on the map as a regular skill is basically exactly like one dude from Dota who also can do this to this day. I feel like early League started off being Dota, and slowly moved in a totally different direction leading to now two totally different games. I think it's interesting.
I’m so glad someone finally did this so all these season 8 kids will finally understand the pain of us season 1 players getting 1 shot in silence by a lvl 6 kassadin//leblanc
League WAS broken, no point to argue there! But at the same time, it was fun. old AP Gankplank and Master Yi are what made the game so special for me, but alas I went back to DotA after all of these "fun" builds were nerfed. Came back after like a year or so? Kept spamming Xerath mid which was (and still is) my most favorite champion in the whole game, but again when every single champion had to have some form of dash and jumped across your screen 5 times before I could even finish the animation of my W? I moved to DotA once again and for good. I'd rather keep my good memories when I had fun with the game and don't be like one of those who queue ranked games all the time absolutely hating their life and everyone around them :^)
I used to really struggle against yasuo. Dashing everywhere, massive damage, insane healing, good in lane, in sidelane, even in bed ; nah I really thought he was a menace
..... I will never forget... I think around season 6? maybe 5? idk. I remember it died down a bit and then Jinx came out. Master Yi was an absolute frickin menace and everyone had one on their team if they could. it was a fight to get first pick because there was Yi. He'd ult, Run in, and you were all guaranteed dead. This was about the time I got bored and decided to learn Shaco because I had no clue how to play around him when the enemy jungler would randomly pick him. So I locked in Shaco, Stuck a box to hopefully watch for gank. We were getting kills as the ward spotted Master Yi coming in at mach 5, locking lips with my box and retreating just as fast. It was then that I realized Shaco completely dominates yi and I spent a large majority of my lane time ditching my ADC just to make the enemy Yi's life miserable. Good times.
Fear is actually one of the hard counters for movement speed builds, cause you run away just as fast, it's almost a better version of snare or stun(if you're not going for a kill that is), Fear wasn't the same as nowadays, before it had no slow, it was usually just fear and damage. So for Yi that's immune to slows during ult while also very fast, he would just zoom out of screen view xD you just wasted atleast half of his ult duration if he cast it before entering.
@@HeyHiHowdy6969 Even old players forgot Riot used to release 1 champ per week, now we're considered lucky if they release 2 champs a year. didnt realize it was that early.
I thought that I could add more to it and make it more comprehensive - I plan on re-visiting it later and going more in-depth! Appreciate the feedback.
I still remember people thinking twitch was trash back when he had a 2min stealth. He was my first champion and I went absolutely wild with him. Remember going 20+ kills with low deaths multiple times and making a bunch of friends in game.
I've played Old League and old Dota 2, the only thing broken I remember in Dota 2 was base 30 second(no items, no talents) Resurrection ult of Skeleton King(Now named Wraith King for copyright from Blizzard)
Sunfire stacking in Twisted Treeline on Shako, when the Sunfire effect duplicated on the clone, was wild. Pop out the bushes and everything you touched died Revive/teleport with all global picks was wild as well. IIRC it was Shen, TF, Noc, Panth, and a spellcaster of your choice. If anyone got gone on, everyone smashed ults or had the guy drop a ward, and if they died, they'd respawn and hit the opposite lane. I think the fastest game I ever had with friends was 9 minutes.
Xin carried me through a lot of games. I remember Tiensi no Akuma playing him, besides his signature katarina, mid and even top. I've used to buy red flask, kill the golens on my way to lane (red side), and baiting my opponent. BoxBox did that with riven too.
I'd love to see more of old league. I started playing league a few weeks before Wukong released, so at least a couple of things i experienced first hand. I think it's kind of sad, that there has never been like a specific game mode dedicated to old league seasons as they were then just to experience that game feel and nostalgia again, like i can with pokemon for example
I started right between Poppy rework and Jhin release So I missed almost every golden era. No way near to play those broken champions. My most frustrating to play against is Garen (ultra unbalanced, overturned, no weakness, cancer). Right at the end of this season, the most beautiful broken masterpiece created until now was Camille She was released like 3 weeks later than she was supposed to, the hype was real. When she came out she was so broken, on top of the new adaptive Force feature, she was so fun and overpowered, I had the best of times back then. Please continue to make this videos, the longer the better. Thanks so much Keep it upiiii]; )'
I started league at the release of Lulu and I lived throught the infinite stacking of E damages with souls on Thresh. Full damage braum hitting 600 while being full tank And obviously the release of the worst character of this game : yasuo... 4 dashes at that time was absolute bullshit, wall blocking ranged attack ? Bullshit. 2 items to be 100% crit ?
Hey m8, I also started when lulu came out. I remember sitting there, watching the login screen and listening to the music. The music of her login screen was very good.
@@BlackAge2k Did you know that her theme song is just a different variation of the main theme song League of Legends used to have? It is to this day still one of my most favorite game soundtracks and I really hope that one day they play it again.
Some neat side mentions for season 0/1 league is TF gold card could stun towers, panth could block up to 2 (3 with flash cancel) full tower shots per tower dive, and udyr tiger stance could CRIT towers.
I played this game with 2 of my VERY close friends from high school. We started playing in early 2010 and we would stomp our opponents. Our bot lane was always Master Yi and Rammus. What a hit of nostalgia.
Every time you played him, you would just always hope that whenever you started ulting in a bush, the enemy wouldn't notice so you could pretty much one shot them.
Played both league and dota for quite a bit of years, yeah, early league was a copy through and through. It''s changeda lot since then and can no longer be considered as one.
I started playing in 2016, and kinda Mained Xin Zhao because I played him a bit and I remeber constantly getting S / S+ with him and shredding every single piece of my enemies Yes, I was the villain back then 😂
Honestly the people that think some of these old champs were broken and would be in today’s league just don’t know how much the game has changed. I need to really do a deep dive on the history to show it, but the damage numbers alone have gotten so crazy compared to back then.
Regardless of the damage numbers beta tf would still be broken today. Doesn't matter if your numbers are shit, just go mid, hit level 2 and then you can teleport stun anywhere on the map. Enemy jungler can never invade again, botlane has to stay under tower permanently. Teamwide free buff on passive and global slow on r are overkill.
@@pasarebird02 Damage is important but op might be forgetting how OP utility is. Just being able to teleport anywhere as a basic is pretty broken. Doesn't matter if his numbers before are used now when in theory TF would also use the broken items now. Even if he loses lane, he'll just have impact elsewhere by lvl 3. It's like when TP didn't have a cool down before being able to use it on non-tower objects.
Old Leaugue was maybe broken but still more fun then getting isntant deleted even trough daribillity Patch. Also there was no 500 Dollar Fomo for Ele. Lux .
Sion could be built AP or AD, if AP he would one shot you with his stun and shield with AD he would fountain dive you AND NEVER DIE, even with anti heals Yorick would let an ally temporarily live if they were killed while the ult buff was active Zilean passive used to give extra EXP to ALL ALLIES GLOBALLY Yi AP was literally unkillable if you had no CC, his W scaled by 4x his AP and gave 300 both defenses instead of the now 55% dmg reduction Gragas E went through minions and his W was what his passive now is + mana regen too Katarina would make penta kills in less than a second, I dont remember her kit much anymore, I just know her W was amplified your Q and Q marked enemies for something but her CD refresh was a full reset on kill, not just 15s and no 3s before kill condition good ol' better nerf Irelia because old Irelia was always OP Q refunded mana and CD on kill, W stunned if your HP% was higher than hers, E gave true dmg and life steal to her attacks and R also had life steal on opponents hit while passive gave her TENACITY which increased the more enemy there was than allies nearby [edit] oh and lets not forget Taric. Man could solo bot lane after ulting. who needs the adc anyway? Theres even an old animation that Im sure many know of, that emphasized on this Taric. people love to bash on Riot now that they make so many broken champions and old days were much better but they forget old stuffs were much worse when compared to their respective times and not just champions, items too like is no one gonna talk about Malady? Madred? Testament of Will? you know, the OG spell vamp item? or summoner spells like Surge, which when removed, was passed down to guinsoo (on top of guinsoo's extra hit, guinsoo was ridiculous at that time) and still lives to these days but as a watered down version on Malmortius or Promote, which was basically banner of commands, but the minion you promoted gave you the gold of what it killed only reason ppl prefer old times is for 2 things 1: nostalgia 2: the community was much dumber so many didnt know anything so they spent time having fun than trying to win the games but also because we were much dumber back then is why ppl dont realize just how much broken old days were, cuz nobody knew jack I can assure you, if they were to implement the old stuffs without changing it to fit the current balance, they would 100% break the game more than any champ or item would these days.
I started back in late 2012, and at that time, Kassawin was really strong. But I also remember AP Master Yi, AP Tristana, Full AP Sona and many more insanely strong champs at the time. DFG (tears are shed every time I think of that item) - It did feature in Nexus Blitz though, so it was fun trying it out again. Oh and the stacking Black Cleaver Pantheon and Riven era.
@@myth-leagueoflegends Leblanc, Ahri and other up close and personal mages loved that item, and with good reason. I think the closest we have today is Horizon Focus, but it is completely overshadowed by other better options
pick eve, build magic pen bots and 5 sunfire cape, win the game, they cant see you, you kill them in 5 seconds with no counterplay, that worked for 2 years, good old times :D
except for you could just buy an oracle potion for 400 gold and see everthing invisible within like a 400 range radius. tell me you never played season 1/2 lol
I played from 09-2014. Quit for a decade while doing the family thing, and just recently jumped back in to see what it was like now. The game is so different now. I see why they made the changes they did, but it feels like a completely different game now.
I started playing in 2011 and the thing I most vividly remember from the game back then was a full AP poppy ulting the enemy team carry and one shotting them while towerdiving her and her entire team. Not sure if it was the most broken thing, but it's what pops to mind the most lmao
I think in hindsight, it's probably one of the most broken mechanics to ever exist.. it just took a long time for people to catch on to how absurd it was. Definitely will include it in a future video.
I rarely played Poppy AP so I always used my ult to the weakest enemy so I would pretty much not gain any damage and then focus the carries so the rest of my team could kill them.
I very vividly remember Kassawin. And by vividly I mean I never played against him because he was permabanned literally forever. iirc he held the record for highest ban % till they added the ability for every player to have their own ban, allowing for a champion to get banned twice a game. If you ever watched the video for when Riot made Urf, they even joke about this themselves. "We notice player ban rates, and it seems like you just don't like Kassadin. So, we removed him... we also removed Ryze."
Started season 1 with Xin Zhao. One thing not mentioned was I thought his Q was a knock up on every hit for like a few hours after release. It wasnt mentioned, but they hotfixed that ASAP. With a little bit of attack speed he could perma CC anyone in the game. Also, my first penta came from playing Xin. With enough lifesteal and attack speed the old Xin Zhao was unkillable. A literal 1v9 god. I played thousands of games as Xin Jungle back then.
OP stuff... How about old GP running with his minions to lane, so he can kill 2 ofthem to make it that you are forced to start with a CS and XP disadventage.. DotA-like xD
Season 2 ap yi and trynd was so fun. I was a kid with no idea how to play and found the most success building multiple zeals and phantom dancers on chogath.
I started playing around the time that fizz released. Cuz of being a support in this era I still adore thresh to this day. The big one I remember was yi being a literal instant win if anyone managed to pick him around season 4 or so. But honestly just seeing old summoners rift makes me desperately want seasonal snap shots for us to play. Season 2 and season 3 were magical times for the game.
I remember playing Morgana on mid lane before season one - it was wild. Her Q did wild DOT, combine with W you’d usually one shoot a carry if they didn’t have Mercuries Threads. I remember getting so powerful that I rushed at 5 players alone and they all run away. I think my win rate was around 70%. At some point before S1 she got heavily nerfed/changed and that was it for me maining Morgana. Too bad at that time there was no ranked.
I remember if you got Xin Zhao's attack speed high enough with decent armor, you could take towers without minions cause his heal worked on towers too. So you could just backdoor with no minions and take inhibs lol
Old Fiddle in the Middle was also busted as hell. E dark wind bounced 11 times silencing for 2 sec first bounce and an aditional sec every next bounce. You could just ult the mid laner While he was silenced than fear + drain did the rest.
Vayne on release. Her q gave her so much damage and her passive gave her enough movement speed to transition any lvl 1 trade into a kill before the enemy would reach their tower.
Exactly, that's what made it a nostalgia because at the time, there's no worry about playing your role's as how its supposed to be since its a "game". Of course feeding and losing are the only two upsetting factors that are still everlasting but what's different now is meta. Pick two junglers or two mids or two adcs and before the game starts war between teammates already began. Meta makes the game more interesting for the current player base since it is influenced by the content creators and esports events and like a shepherd herding his sheep, the rest follows and the devs have no choice but to develop League around meta if they want their game to keep its popularity. However we are talking about nostalgia and the nostalgic part is that from my experience, its tough af but there was trust between players choosing any champion regardless of role count. Like an open world rpg, you explore the map until you face your enemy. Thanks for reading.
Correct me if I’m wrong, didn’t amumus used to reduce incoming damage by 40% also, for the whole silver gaining a Dodge chance while moving I think that would actually be pretty cool if champs could have a chance to dodge auto attacks when moving.
I miss the original summoner's rift map so much. I started playing in season one, I took a break in season 4 up to season 5 and I continued playing sporadically up until season 9. I remember the day they announced the rework and I was so mad about it that I actually sent an email to them just talking shit, I was very surprised that I got a response from an unfortunate soul, in the nature of "We are not quite sure what the problem you express is exactly". The old Summoners Rift had very atmospheric and dark aesthetics, some canceled characters were thrown around as easter eggs, there were a lot of flame torches and voodoo masks around the jungle, various different little magic-induced forests and random platform of runes and jungle camps with actual tents and stuff. The newer map was cleaner, smoother to the eye and more vibrant, it wasn't bad really just a step on a different direction.
i really miss the old gragas days, the range of his Q was insane and then the cd on his E was super low... the overall mobility around the map was so good. No one seems to talk about Poppy ap, so much fun. Another widely used strategy was warmogs + atmas impaler for any top laner... ooooh the good old days
I definitely remember Jax and Xin. Evelyn was absolutely broken but not a popular pick. You used to be able to stay invisible forever and you could basically stand right on top of someone without breaking stealth. At the same time Sunfire cape DMG used to be stackable so you could literally have 6 Sunfire capes and stealth kill enemies without ever being seen
@kingbirdIII The sunfire thing was always a meme, it worked against dumbasses who didnt buy pinks. Even Eve herself wasnt considered strong in higher elos, sure the stealth was permanent but soo were pink wards and oracles
@@teoteo6185 see it's funny you say that but I was D2 playing Sunfire eve. You were still so tanky and pink wards had smaller vision ranges. And vision control wasn't really even a thing then. It obviously wouldn't work today because players are just better and more aware
@kingbirdIII See it’s funny you say that because you’re full of shit. You were D2 huh? The highest rank in season 1 where sunfire stack Evelynn was a thing, the highest rank was plat.
Thank you for triggering a PTSD episode for reminding me about release Xin Zhao. It took them two agonizing weeks to patch him. Even after nerfing him to the ground, Xin Zhao was still frustrating to deal with.

I miss Nidalee spears damage scaling on distance from her CURRENT location rather than when she threw it. The throw-catform jump oneshots were glorious.
nah that's a very silly mechanic, turns her into a champion with 4 aestetic abilities and the only things you need are the jump and spear
@kinkinTheWild it also just had better damage numbers in general - max base damage was 575 instead of the 450 it became immediately after her rework, and the maximum ap scaling was 165% instead of the current 150% (was 120% immediately after rework, eventually got buffed)
They weren't glorious, they were fucking god awful

Riki with Dark Seer's Ion Shell was fun too
as a new player its really cool seeing the old game and how the game has changed your also the only real lol ytber i watch
YES SIR especially looking at the old jungle in League is just CRAZY
As an old league player this shit is still wild. I remember when jayce came out and elo inflated me so hard. OH and Diana
Yeah!!
Rush best lol RUclipsr
The nostalgia..
For me kassawin and skarner are 2 of the most broken champs every existed in league history.
Especially kassa before the rework probably had 90% ban rate and around 70% win rate, considering that today we consider op champs that have 53% w/r is pure insanity.
New players will probably never experience what really is a broken champ
Kasa is still broken nowadays
@@ValExp543 kassa nowadays is a complete joke of what he was in his prime
@@ValExp543 He's definitely not
Stacking Kass ultimate in base, tp, one shot. Oh the days.
we had 65% winrate Maokai not too long ago.
The old summoners rift had such a great feel to it. It felt like a spooky forest, but felt cozy at the same time. The Winter skin on the original summoners rift was also awesome
I agree
AP xin zhao was a nightmare to fight against before. his 3rd hit heal was 90% of your ap and old league has a lot of on hit AP items before like malady
And tower shots damage didn’t scale so he could just walk to a tower and punch it down without any minions 😊
@@minutosdesapercibidosesp-e4508 the funny part here is he straight up heals using the tower right in your face before he hits you with his 3rd skill
lol dont know how many time i abused of the NAshor tooth, Lichbane and Rabadon build on Yasuo. I wouldn't even care at all about enermies or minions. i was just running down a lane, get to the tower and start blasting and healing lol.
@@JeffreyBezeau Yasuo? You mean xin, right? Yasuo shouldn't be healing off of that, nevermind that by when he got added I'm pretty sure tower shots already scaled.
@@henriquepacheco7473true, yasuo could not heal even with those items. But I don't think turrets scaled during his release just yet (season 3 iirc). If memory serves right, he was already starting to be a menace right before the worst period for turrets (around seasons 4-5, even 6 just before turret plating was added). This was a truly broken period for League. Almost all of the class changes that we know of today (and forgot) came around this time. The assassin update, mage update, juggernaut update, marksman update (recently reverted, etc.
Well, some contenders for the oldies:
Kassawin 99.55% ban rate
AP Yi
AP Sion
Old Fiora with 112 AD level 1
Old Evelynn (AP was a menace too, not just that Sunfire thing)
AP Nasus when his ult had 100% ratio
Release Zyra
Release Graves bursting you 100-0
Release Riven
Release Diana
Release Darius
Old Passive Draven (RIP Blood Brothers)
Mordekaiser (numero uno)
Ryze was OP a LOT of times too
Old Poppy
The legend of Weedwick 4.20 patch
Very often a champion was busted because of the meta, too. Like Fizz/Ekko tank era, or Naut/Maokai giga tank era, red smite shyvana/hecarim top with ignite and tp, and even the infamous black cleaver era, too.
Gp crit on q spell
pantheon with black cleaver too
Holy old Draven passive I totally forgot about that
huehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehue Mordekaiser es número uno huehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehue
If fioras old ulty was still in the game I might not have quit lol.
It's weird that TF had Axe's battle hunger.
I almost got the victorious Janna😢. I endured invisible eve with sword of the divine, rize's ups and downs, khazix's terror reign (assassins in general), the "better nerf irelia" era, AP Master Yi, AP Tristana, deathfire grasp on ahri, Draven's dot on passive, so on and so forth.
Actually they still should nerf Irelia
AP Trist was so weird, fully forgot about that
Man, I remember offtank manamune ryze, getting really tanky while still doing insane dps in fights. Good times.
Not as goated as statikk shiv triforce alistar top, back when his ultimate gave him stupid amounts of AD for no reason and he could weave an auto in his W, so you always won trade by just doing w+sheen auto.
AP Master Yi and Kha'Zix near release just bring me back to my elementary school days. Telling my friends in like 4th grade I didn't wanna play with them so I could play League was a wild feeling.
I miss Veigar being the Anti-Mage, where you can one shot mages with your ult based on how much AP they have. You can only counter Veigar if you don't play mage against him.
Or simply with more range, like Lux, Nidalee, Xerath, Ziggs.
oh yeah. he had so much free mana back then!! free chalice passive iirc.
That shit is uninteractive as hell lol. Let me play the champ I want without this counterpicking point and click dogshit.
@@famulanrevengeance3044id honestly rather have that than having 200 years champs running rampant every patch or so.
@@stankobarabata2406 Veigar design is fine, there were moments in time where his cage was busted with a bunch of cdr but besides that he was always fine.
But making him specifically an anti mage is stupid. Nothing in League should be safe or guaranteed, you should always struggle and not ''me play Veigar you play AP champ me win ooga booga''
AP Sion was an actual menace back in the day. Point and click stun that chunked for half ur hp and a shield that did the other half. Gunblade made you immortal, and the shield scaled with ap if I remember correctly. Ad sion was no pushover either. I’d have like 500 ad with three lifesteal items and 4k hp before 30 minutes. Add an atma’s impaler and by the end of the game you were sitting on easily over 600 ad and would heal like 1k per auto with ult active. Grievous wounds was a joke to og sion. Miss the good old days.
The AD Sion fountain dive 1v5’s 😂😂😂
The point and click stun alone was wild, and that's only a small part of it
I still remember to this day playing draft, enemy locks in LB first pick and our team counter picks AP Sion. She never stood a chance. Old League was wild.
And I still want a classic mode more than anything in the game
Agreed! I wonder if Riot will do the Blizzard classic: "you think you do, but you don't."
@@myth-leagueoflegends Riot never admits mistakes and failing to make their game better after over a decade is too much to accept. They know it will kill every other game mode and don't want that even though it will make the game boom again

You should talk about old league's horrifically buggy vision which Riot insisted was a feature. We would have invisible nunu ults simply because he had a toe in the grass.
The Classic.
The infinite knock-ups were the funniest thing I've ever seen in LoL.
Invisible nidalee spears. Yummy
The client was way better
That is pure nostalgia. Just because the new one has issues doesn’t make it worse than that ugly shit we used to use

@@nosoap4204 It's impressive how bad LoL is and always has been
@@nosoap4204 That was the funniest thing I've seen. There was this Singed in one of my games when that happened who basically had range, killed his lane opponent repeatedly, then started farming everything and being everywhere on the map. It had me in stitches.
I really liked this video, as a fairly newer player it’s super interesting seeing how strong some of the weaker champions today were once at an imaginary level. Great video!
Tbf none of these champions are weak today :')
Glad to hear it!
These league history videos are super cool and nostalgic to see. Keep it up man, you are cornering a niche that a lot of old and new players will appreciate
Thanks for the feedback - more Old League stuff coming very soon
I dont think it ever has been something more broken than 2013/2014 Kassadin with the almost 100% ban rate
@kinkinTheWild kass was basically permabanned in both comp and soloqueue. He scaled just as hard as he did today, but he also had a decently strong laning phase, between better ratios on his abilities, his q being a point and click silence, and his W letting him sustain mana more effectively than today. His R had way more range, and its mana scaling with repeated uses was significantly lower, meaning he actually had a very strong all in at level 6 already. Plus, he screwed the mostly ap-centric mages that were very common even harder, since his passive meant he would win trades with just his Q and E even while eating a full skill rotation from something like Orianna. About the only mid laner that threatened him well was Zed, which, fair, but even into Zed Kassadin was strong because of how hard he could scale.
For me most broken champs of all time are full dodge chance Jax and perma invisible sunfrire cape Evelyn
Full AP yi was also beyond broken but so funny to play. Easiest pentas ever.
bring back AP Yi
I remember the night Leblanc went live. Played in a PC cafe with my friends and I was killing the enemy mid laner at level 3 with no effort, no mind games. Her combined ap ratios were in a different league. I think the only counter was Galio at the time, due to the magic resist runes they'd use in their pages.
There's a lot of stuff I thought was ridiculous but most of the time it took someone else's mistake to get the champion to scale that hard. Leblanc was an obvious exception and it was the reason she got fixed immediately.
Tank Kat+Tank Vei were adequate counters (although these were stopgaps cause of old pick rotations) iirc.
leblanc?, sion ap destroyed her
Recently I got to play Dota 2 for the first time after I played like 10-12 years of League on and off. My friends wanted me to play with them, so I decided to try, After complaining for a while I got into it and now think it's decent but I still prefer league as far as Moba go. Anyway.
if Dota taught me one thing it's that old League probably was way closer to original Dota and Dota 2 than it is today. The TF teleporting anywhere on the map as a regular skill is basically exactly like one dude from Dota who also can do this to this day. I feel like early League started off being Dota, and slowly moved in a totally different direction leading to now two totally different games.
I think it's interesting.
I’m so glad someone finally did this so all these season 8 kids will finally understand the pain of us season 1 players getting 1 shot in silence by a lvl 6 kassadin//leblanc
It feels nice that xin being mentioned in busted champions. Glad to know that it wasn't a fever dream
I miss the Katarina before they did her recent rework. I hate that you have to set up every time with her daggers now.
Yeah they ruined my favorite champ
Oh hey look, it's me at 17:28
I played back in these days:) I'm glad this game took off like it did but I miss the days before ranked came out. The game was so chill.
League WAS broken, no point to argue there!
But at the same time, it was fun.
old AP Gankplank and Master Yi are what made the game so special for me, but alas I went back to DotA after all of these "fun" builds were nerfed.
Came back after like a year or so? Kept spamming Xerath mid which was (and still is) my most favorite champion in the whole game, but again when every single champion had to have some form of dash and jumped across your screen 5 times before I could even finish the animation of my W?
I moved to DotA once again and for good.
I'd rather keep my good memories when I had fun with the game and don't be like one of those who queue ranked games all the time absolutely hating their life and everyone around them :^)
I used to really struggle against yasuo. Dashing everywhere, massive damage, insane healing, good in lane, in sidelane, even in bed ; nah I really thought he was a menace
..... I will never forget... I think around season 6? maybe 5? idk. I remember it died down a bit and then Jinx came out.
Master Yi was an absolute frickin menace and everyone had one on their team if they could. it was a fight to get first pick because there was Yi.
He'd ult, Run in, and you were all guaranteed dead.
This was about the time I got bored and decided to learn Shaco because I had no clue how to play around him when the enemy jungler would randomly pick him.
So I locked in Shaco, Stuck a box to hopefully watch for gank. We were getting kills as the ward spotted Master Yi coming in at mach 5, locking lips with my box and retreating just as fast.
It was then that I realized Shaco completely dominates yi and I spent a large majority of my lane time ditching my ADC just to make the enemy Yi's life miserable.
Good times.
Jinx came out in season 3 lol
"Ditching my ADC"
this was Shaco SUPPORT?
Fear is actually one of the hard counters for movement speed builds, cause you run away just as fast, it's almost a better version of snare or stun(if you're not going for a kill that is), Fear wasn't the same as nowadays, before it had no slow, it was usually just fear and damage. So for Yi that's immune to slows during ult while also very fast, he would just zoom out of screen view xD you just wasted atleast half of his ult duration if he cast it before entering.
@@HeyHiHowdy6969 Even old players forgot Riot used to release 1 champ per week, now we're considered lucky if they release 2 champs a year. didnt realize it was that early.
Did your Magifelix video get taken down?
I really enjoyed that one
I thought that I could add more to it and make it more comprehensive - I plan on re-visiting it later and going more in-depth! Appreciate the feedback.
I still remember people thinking twitch was trash back when he had a 2min stealth. He was my first champion and I went absolutely wild with him. Remember going 20+ kills with low deaths multiple times and making a bunch of friends in game.
The first and only champion with the "roaming" lane
Kassadin 99.55% ban rate, please
I'm so glad you finally released a new video :)
Thank you! I'll be uploading much more frequently going forward
@@myth-leagueoflegendsGlad to hear it, I dig the content and it gets a sub from me 😊
I've played Old League and old Dota 2, the only thing broken I remember in Dota 2 was base 30 second(no items, no talents) Resurrection ult of Skeleton King(Now named Wraith King for copyright from Blizzard)
Sunfire stacking in Twisted Treeline on Shako, when the Sunfire effect duplicated on the clone, was wild. Pop out the bushes and everything you touched died
Revive/teleport with all global picks was wild as well. IIRC it was Shen, TF, Noc, Panth, and a spellcaster of your choice. If anyone got gone on, everyone smashed ults or had the guy drop a ward, and if they died, they'd respawn and hit the opposite lane. I think the fastest game I ever had with friends was 9 minutes.
I would really like a video on how to identify mistakes of laners and the enemy jungler because i sometimes don’t know if they made a mistake or not.
Xin carried me through a lot of games. I remember Tiensi no Akuma playing him, besides his signature katarina, mid and even top. I've used to buy red flask, kill the golens on my way to lane (red side), and baiting my opponent. BoxBox did that with riven too.
I'd love to see more of old league. I started playing league a few weeks before Wukong released, so at least a couple of things i experienced first hand.
I think it's kind of sad, that there has never been like a specific game mode dedicated to old league seasons as they were then just to experience that game feel and nostalgia again, like i can with pokemon for example
Agreed, it would be such a cool thing for Riot to do
I started right between Poppy rework and Jhin release
So I missed almost every golden era.
No way near to play those broken champions.
My most frustrating to play against is Garen (ultra unbalanced, overturned, no weakness, cancer).
Right at the end of this season, the most beautiful broken masterpiece created until now was Camille
She was released like 3 weeks later than she was supposed to, the hype was real.
When she came out she was so broken, on top of the new adaptive Force feature, she was so fun and overpowered, I had the best of times back then.
Please continue to make this videos, the longer the better.
Thanks so much
Keep it upiiii]; )'
I started league at the release of Lulu and I lived throught the infinite stacking of E damages with souls on Thresh.
Full damage braum hitting 600 while being full tank
And obviously the release of the worst character of this game : yasuo... 4 dashes at that time was absolute bullshit, wall blocking ranged attack ? Bullshit. 2 items to be 100% crit ?
Hey m8, I also started when lulu came out. I remember sitting there, watching the login screen and listening to the music. The music of her login screen was very good.
@@BlackAge2k Did you know that her theme song is just a different variation of the main theme song League of Legends used to have? It is to this day still one of my most favorite game soundtracks and I really hope that one day they play it again.
AP master yi still haunts my dreams... but it was still the best era where i've had the most fun
iconic - will have a video covering him soon
Some neat side mentions for season 0/1 league is TF gold card could stun towers, panth could block up to 2 (3 with flash cancel) full tower shots per tower dive, and udyr tiger stance could CRIT towers.
I played this game with 2 of my VERY close friends from high school. We started playing in early 2010 and we would stomp our opponents. Our bot lane was always Master Yi and Rammus.
What a hit of nostalgia.
Sounds like early League was under heavy Dota influences where champion abilities are critical and then thus op
This is a great channel and very well done video. Really look forward to seeing you delve into more champs / items as the years went on.
Old Nunu was a fun jungle menace even though he did ni damage
Every time you played him, you would just always hope that whenever you started ulting in a bush, the enemy wouldn't notice so you could pretty much one shot them.
The invisible and subterranean Nidalee spears that felt three times as wide as their visuals will haunt me forever.
Played both league and dota for quite a bit of years, yeah, early league was a copy through and through. It''s changeda lot since then and can no longer be considered as one.
I started playing in 2016, and kinda Mained Xin Zhao because I played him a bit and I remeber constantly getting S / S+ with him and shredding every single piece of my enemies
Yes, I was the villain back then 😂
xin was one the fastest clearer in jungle season 1/2
Honestly the people that think some of these old champs were broken and would be in today’s league just don’t know how much the game has changed. I need to really do a deep dive on the history to show it, but the damage numbers alone have gotten so crazy compared to back then.
Regardless of the damage numbers beta tf would still be broken today. Doesn't matter if your numbers are shit, just go mid, hit level 2 and then you can teleport stun anywhere on the map. Enemy jungler can never invade again, botlane has to stay under tower permanently. Teamwide free buff on passive and global slow on r are overkill.
@@pasarebird02 Damage is important but op might be forgetting how OP utility is. Just being able to teleport anywhere as a basic is pretty broken. Doesn't matter if his numbers before are used now when in theory TF would also use the broken items now. Even if he loses lane, he'll just have impact elsewhere by lvl 3. It's like when TP didn't have a cool down before being able to use it on non-tower objects.
@@pasarebird02level 2? people were using it at level 1 to put a ward and then destroyed the whole enemy team
Old Leaugue was maybe broken but still more fun then getting isntant deleted even trough daribillity Patch. Also there was no 500 Dollar Fomo for Ele. Lux .
Sion could be built AP or AD, if AP he would one shot you with his stun and shield
with AD he would fountain dive you AND NEVER DIE, even with anti heals
Yorick would let an ally temporarily live if they were killed while the ult buff was active
Zilean passive used to give extra EXP to ALL ALLIES GLOBALLY
Yi AP was literally unkillable if you had no CC, his W scaled by 4x his AP and gave 300 both defenses instead of the now 55% dmg reduction
Gragas E went through minions and his W was what his passive now is + mana regen too
Katarina would make penta kills in less than a second, I dont remember her kit much anymore, I just know her W was amplified your Q and Q marked enemies for something
but her CD refresh was a full reset on kill, not just 15s and no 3s before kill condition
good ol' better nerf Irelia because old Irelia was always OP
Q refunded mana and CD on kill, W stunned if your HP% was higher than hers, E gave true dmg and life steal to her attacks and R also had life steal on opponents hit while passive gave her TENACITY which increased the more enemy there was than allies nearby
[edit] oh and lets not forget Taric. Man could solo bot lane after ulting. who needs the adc anyway?
Theres even an old animation that Im sure many know of, that emphasized on this Taric.
people love to bash on Riot now that they make so many broken champions and old days were much better but they forget old stuffs were much worse when compared to their respective times
and not just champions, items too
like is no one gonna talk about Malady? Madred? Testament of Will? you know, the OG spell vamp item?
or summoner spells
like Surge, which when removed, was passed down to guinsoo (on top of guinsoo's extra hit, guinsoo was ridiculous at that time) and still lives to these days but as a watered down version on Malmortius
or Promote, which was basically banner of commands, but the minion you promoted gave you the gold of what it killed
only reason ppl prefer old times is for 2 things
1: nostalgia
2: the community was much dumber so many didnt know anything so they spent time having fun than trying to win the games
but also because we were much dumber back then is why ppl dont realize just how much broken old days were, cuz nobody knew jack
I can assure you, if they were to implement the old stuffs without changing it to fit the current balance, they would 100% break the game more than any champ or item would these days.
I remember in beta I went afk in the jungle and got a double kill while I was afk. :)
Also xin was insane. You could tower dive 3v1 and kill them all and survive
Twisted Fate's global gold earning was a huge reason just to pick him. You helped put your team ahead, even more so with his ult w/ yellow card ready.
Nice video and a sponsor, great! Weirdly i dont got this recommended like usual
I started back in late 2012, and at that time, Kassawin was really strong. But I also remember AP Master Yi, AP Tristana, Full AP Sona and many more insanely strong champs at the time.
DFG (tears are shed every time I think of that item) - It did feature in Nexus Blitz though, so it was fun trying it out again.
Oh and the stacking Black Cleaver Pantheon and Riven era.
DFG alone could have a full video honestly, that item was wild.
@@myth-leagueoflegends Leblanc, Ahri and other up close and personal mages loved that item, and with good reason.
I think the closest we have today is Horizon Focus, but it is completely overshadowed by other better options
great vid, looking forward to seeing the next
thank you!
pick eve, build magic pen bots and 5 sunfire cape, win the game, they cant see you, you kill them in 5 seconds with no counterplay, that worked for 2 years, good old times :D

except for you could just buy an oracle potion for 400 gold and see everthing invisible within like a 400 range radius.
tell me you never played season 1/2 lol
Eve having a stun was some busted shit. Dunno who figured that it was a good idea haha. I hated her so much back in the day.
I played from 09-2014. Quit for a decade while doing the family thing, and just recently jumped back in to see what it was like now. The game is so different now. I see why they made the changes they did, but it feels like a completely different game now.
It WAS broken. And it's EVEN MORE broken now LETS GO!
8:13 but what about the Ninja Tabis?
You are stacking PDs so you wouldn’t have room for tabis
All I need is the old soraka design, it was perfection.
Nah, Poppy was the real deal (especially lollipoppy)
Season 2/3 was honestly the best gaming experience of my life. Fizz/Kata/Leblanc was just the most fun I've ever had in a video game setting period.
A lot of these old spells are based off of Dota heroes, like twisted fates Q’s is also the same as Axe’s W from Dota
6:41 i never seen that cinematic of the first 20 champions in the game it looks amazing!
i've never seen it used in any videos, i thought it was cool to see too
@@myth-leagueoflegends Well done!
I started playing in 2011 and the thing I most vividly remember from the game back then was a full AP poppy ulting the enemy team carry and one shotting them while towerdiving her and her entire team. Not sure if it was the most broken thing, but it's what pops to mind the most lmao
I think in hindsight, it's probably one of the most broken mechanics to ever exist.. it just took a long time for people to catch on to how absurd it was. Definitely will include it in a future video.
I rarely played Poppy AP so I always used my ult to the weakest enemy so I would pretty much not gain any damage and then focus the carries so the rest of my team could kill them.
I very vividly remember Kassawin. And by vividly I mean I never played against him because he was permabanned literally forever. iirc he held the record for highest ban % till they added the ability for every player to have their own ban, allowing for a champion to get banned twice a game. If you ever watched the video for when Riot made Urf, they even joke about this themselves. "We notice player ban rates, and it seems like you just don't like Kassadin. So, we removed him... we also removed Ryze."
9:24 OG Sword of the Divine
Started season 1 with Xin Zhao. One thing not mentioned was I thought his Q was a knock up on every hit for like a few hours after release. It wasnt mentioned, but they hotfixed that ASAP. With a little bit of attack speed he could perma CC anyone in the game. Also, my first penta came from playing Xin. With enough lifesteal and attack speed the old Xin Zhao was unkillable. A literal 1v9 god. I played thousands of games as Xin Jungle back then.
OP stuff... How about old GP running with his minions to lane, so he can kill 2 ofthem to make it that you are forced to start with a CS and XP disadventage.. DotA-like xD
that was brutal - can't imagine if that was still possible today
Season 2 ap yi and trynd was so fun. I was a kid with no idea how to play and found the most success building multiple zeals and phantom dancers on chogath.
I remember riven also… super long and big shield on a low cooldown
Yeah!
The most broken champion of all time was galio. 1 q could oneshot any tank easily and it is easy to hit plus aoe
Rather that then what we have now. Fat bruisers who out damage adc and assasins with 3 dashes + flash!
Pls bring a footage of old xin zhao oneshotting whole enemy team with his old R and he himself getting oneshotted by thornmail😂😂😂
i cant believe you would hit me with the most nostalgic thing i wish riot would bring back. sweet winter map
I started playing around the time that fizz released. Cuz of being a support in this era I still adore thresh to this day.
The big one I remember was yi being a literal instant win if anyone managed to pick him around season 4 or so.
But honestly just seeing old summoners rift makes me desperately want seasonal snap shots for us to play. Season 2 and season 3 were magical times for the game.
I remember playing Morgana on mid lane before season one - it was wild. Her Q did wild DOT, combine with W you’d usually one shoot a carry if they didn’t have Mercuries Threads. I remember getting so powerful that I rushed at 5 players alone and they all run away. I think my win rate was around 70%. At some point before S1 she got heavily nerfed/changed and that was it for me maining Morgana. Too bad at that time there was no ranked.
I remember if you got Xin Zhao's attack speed high enough with decent armor, you could take towers without minions cause his heal worked on towers too. So you could just backdoor with no minions and take inhibs lol
I remember playing Olaf in season 2 and with 1-2 bloodthirster i was healing from 10% to full hp in 2 autoattacks. Olaf was original Aatrox.
Olaf can still heal a lot, but nowhere near that level lol
Old Fiddle in the Middle was also busted as hell. E dark wind bounced 11 times silencing for 2 sec first bounce and an aditional sec every next bounce. You could just ult the mid laner While he was silenced than fear + drain did the rest.
I remember playing the League beta in college, and how it looks now is how I see it in my memories. Wild to think it looked that different.
Divine sword Kog was something else, he would just tear out your health in few seconds, armor itens weren't as good to contain him
what was the bonuses of his bio-arcane barrage back then? and was still magic?
Vayne on release. Her q gave her so much damage and her passive gave her enough movement speed to transition any lvl 1 trade into a kill before the enemy would reach their tower.
Exactly, that's what made it a nostalgia because at the time, there's no worry about playing your role's as how its supposed to be since its a "game". Of course feeding and losing are the only two upsetting factors that are still everlasting but what's different now is meta. Pick two junglers or two mids or two adcs and before the game starts war between teammates already began. Meta makes the game more interesting for the current player base since it is influenced by the content creators and esports events and like a shepherd herding his sheep, the rest follows and the devs have no choice but to develop League around meta if they want their game to keep its popularity.
However we are talking about nostalgia and the nostalgic part is that from my experience, its tough af but there was trust between players choosing any champion regardless of role count. Like an open world rpg, you explore the map until you face your enemy. Thanks for reading.
Correct me if I’m wrong, didn’t amumus used to reduce incoming damage by 40% also, for the whole silver gaining a Dodge chance while moving I think that would actually be pretty cool if champs could have a chance to dodge auto attacks when moving.
love your content.
I think Katarina was also worth mentioning
Thank you - and definitely agree. I'll be talking about the old "reset" katarina eventually in a video
Lol the old version of TF's Q was literally battle Hunger from dota's axe.
yes please do a video on every champ that was way too broken like KassaWin. Would be a awesome walk down memory lane.
I miss the original summoner's rift map so much. I started playing in season one, I took a break in season 4 up to season 5 and I continued playing sporadically up until season 9.
I remember the day they announced the rework and I was so mad about it that I actually sent an email to them just talking shit, I was very surprised that I got a response from an unfortunate soul, in the nature of "We are not quite sure what the problem you express is exactly".
The old Summoners Rift had very atmospheric and dark aesthetics, some canceled characters were thrown around as easter eggs, there were a lot of flame torches and voodoo masks around the jungle, various different little magic-induced forests and random platform of runes and jungle camps with actual tents and stuff. The newer map was cleaner, smoother to the eye and more vibrant, it wasn't bad really just a step on a different direction.
i really miss the old gragas days, the range of his Q was insane and then the cd on his E was super low... the overall mobility around the map was so good. No one seems to talk about Poppy ap, so much fun. Another widely used strategy was warmogs + atmas impaler for any top laner... ooooh the good old days
new here,can't wait for more of this serie!
Older league had a lot more dota mechanics, that still exist in dota 2
I definitely remember Jax and Xin. Evelyn was absolutely broken but not a popular pick. You used to be able to stay invisible forever and you could basically stand right on top of someone without breaking stealth. At the same time Sunfire cape DMG used to be stackable so you could literally have 6 Sunfire capes and stealth kill enemies without ever being seen
@kingbirdIII
The sunfire thing was always a meme, it worked against dumbasses who didnt buy pinks.
Even Eve herself wasnt considered strong in higher elos, sure the stealth was permanent but soo were pink wards and oracles
@@teoteo6185 see it's funny you say that but I was D2 playing Sunfire eve. You were still so tanky and pink wards had smaller vision ranges. And vision control wasn't really even a thing then. It obviously wouldn't work today because players are just better and more aware
@kingbirdIII
See it’s funny you say that because you’re full of shit. You were D2 huh? The highest rank in season 1 where sunfire stack Evelynn was a thing, the highest rank was plat.
Thank you for triggering a PTSD episode for reminding me about release Xin Zhao.
It took them two agonizing weeks to patch him. Even after nerfing him to the ground, Xin Zhao was still frustrating to deal with.
8:43 I remember the old Sivir Passiv. She was my first main champ besides Ashe, when I started back in Season 1.
I started to play 2 days before Win Now release.
Just in time for a historical event
