[Patch 3.04: Zac] General Discussion - Page 12

1. lee sin: everyone loves him, since he has such a fun kit and he was one of the most stable junglers for a long time. he didn't have any weaknesses until riot nerfed basicly everything that made him viable lategame. with mao, voli, xin there are junglers who gank just as well but have much stronger lategame potential as initiators and with vi and hecarim you have high dps carry junglers who don't lack in clearing time and gank decently.

2. caitlyn: I think ppl like her because she is easy to play during the laning phase. What alot of players don't realize is that she actually has to snowball her early advantage to be as useful as other ad carries. she is probably the worst scaling ad carry in the game with her only steroid literally being her range which other ad carries can also provide, while cait lacks that extra something. ppl take it too easy with her and don't play her aggressive enough to keep up or carry with her.

3. ezreal players have to figure out where he stands now. he was kind of the carry who did everything a bit too well for a long time. He doesn't seem to be overnerfed but rather picked too often and probably too often by players who don't play ad carry that well in general.

4. the leona players i see aren't aware of the following two things: you need very good timing to abuse her skillset and you need to be a good teamfighter with her. she is not like taric who can litterally choose to stun a target reliably even though she has more CC than him. She also has to time her skills right to actually deal all that damage that makes her so scary. Her all-in is scary as hell but not if you don't know when to do it. patience is just as important as not hesitating at the right moment with her. All that finesse is asked from players who basicly don't want to support anyways. hf

5. blitz is super mega annoying and his hook is a game winning move. his laneing is terribly overrated though. I've seen enough ad carries dodgeing and baiting the shit out of blitz hooks during the laneing phase. blitz is a fine champ but you need to be an expert to play him well, since ppl are used to him at this point. The fact that ppl are not scared anymore makes puts alot of pressure on the blitz player.

What do all of those champions have in common? I'd say mostly the fact that they are all picked by players who don't actually enjoy and or play the champions role. The experts make those champions look good, and in the support section theres that "i don't want to support so I pick something that doesn't resemble one"-problem.
