if you want to abuse op stuff that doesn't get nerfed you have to do research yourself and find a champ under the radar thats hard to play. A good example right now is hecarim, blatanly really strong right now but barely anyone plays him and he's only been getting buffed recently.

sure it is hard to use lee sin to his full potential, but it is not hard to do well with him, seen by his huge popularity and his amazing kda across the boards.

same with amumu, super easy to play and highest winrate zz. these are the kind of champs that get nerfed.


I'm starting a project of doing some videos of what I feel is super OP and should be abused in Solo Q while you can, with little tips for better play. Unfortunately I'm a little late but I'm starting with Khazix. Next will probably be AP Yi.


LOL welcome to 3 patches ago


I know but I had the intention of doing this about a month ago, just had finals and then was at home for the Christmas break.

DoTA 2's winrates actually have a huge variance compared to that of LoL's(Warrunner >60%). It's probably just to do more with how the game is designed than how the champions/heros are.

LoL may not be as balanced at the tournament level but nerfs have been pretty harsh to the popular picks: ez, rengar, diana, and now lee.

where are these winrates?

https://dotabuff.com/heroes/winning

they match up closely with lolking's winrates

http://www.lolking.net/champions/




a lot of the low win rate dota/lol heroes are still completely viable competitive picks.


Please don't remove the things I quoted since they add context and just lead to people saying what was in the quoted excerpt.

Yeah. Those numbers looked closer. It's warrunner of 6.76 that had a crazy win rate. https://dotabuff.com/heroes/winning?date=patch_6.76
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

You want food? Wukong vs Darius. You may as well just go roam while waiting for him to take your tower past level 3.

If Kha'Zix gets nerfed, what would you nerf though? The obvious one would be to remove passive from W transform but that'd just bring him right back into the shit tier. Would the heal scaling on W or something be good enough?

E damage, His escape/reset/gap closer shouldnt do that much damage. gets crazy snowbally when you can continually jump on their team with a scaling rocket jump.

But theres like a zero percent chance riot chooses this to nerf, knowing them they will lower damage on Q/W or something and make him unplayable

Not at 1500-1600 elo lol. Dodge Qs all day, harass hardcore with autos if he dares to cs. Not sure what he can do to stop Teemo aside from going balls to wall agressive on Teemo and hope to stick on him and get a kill. I can def see Teemo losing if he makes mistakes and let's Lee land some Q's and chunk him down a couple times, once Lee has items over Teemo you can't kill him without him messing up badly because of his sustain.

Oh that's a pretty good point. So should the skilling order actually be R>W>E>Q, by the way? Even though Q scales really nicely

lol I still remember all the way back in the wukong patch telling some guy on here lee sin was well above the power curve and he was like, uh, no, he's basically a worse version of udyr.

Nerf the range on his jump when evolved to 800 or even 750. Its just to easy to get to anyone you want to get to and then either get out of the fight completely or to the next squishy no matter where he may be.

thats what I do since Q scales well but not the base damage. I also dont evolve Q either, but I dont think anyone does that anyway

watching crs vs td (scrim i think?) crs's communication to cancel out split push is pretty good.

Udyr was a fucking beast tho, I haven't jungled this guy for so long... And now that everyone has gapclosers, who wanna play yudeer anymore ?

They just need to remove the reset mechanic.
Besides, I don't see why for example Garen ult has no reset ? Looks like they're favoring new champ/reworked one...

I think "reset on kill" mechanics and manaless champions are my #1 and #2 for "ideas that seemed good at the time but ended up being bad for the game".

Complaining about Riot's ability at balancing just makes me question how much thought people really put into balancing a game. They've got millions of players, a ton of a data, and a tournament scene that they have to consider. On top of that, new champions, items, and masteries leave a gigantic mark on the game. A lot of the problem with balancing comes from the fact that Riot has to act to placate its massive player base that has now become accustom to these types of things.

All you have to do is see the high % of play from certain characters to see why Riot can have a problem is a champion is overpowered. How are they going to collect data on the other champs if 90% of games have nearly identical lists of champions being played. By nerfing those champions it makes players branch off to other champions and gives Riot the feedback it needs. I personally would love a hands-off approach to balancing at some point (obviously not just yet), but I think getting to that point is easier said than done.

random edit: I'd also agree that mana-less champions are probably bad for the game. I understand the idea that exorbitant mana costs can be boring and cause an unfun playstyle... but the alternative of manaless champs and some new champs whose mana-costs are so minute that they might as well be have an un-fun factor for laning against them if you are not using one yourself.

In that case, we just have to accept that as a difference of opinion.

I think the game passed the point where it was ready for a more hands-off approach to balance a LONG time ago.
