He is probably a strong duellist with his kit but I question how useful it is in a world of lane swaps. Hm. His Q does set up ganks nicely though. | ||

I also hate him because he'll revive with up to half hp no matter what you do. see my above post free sustain thats 100% active when attacking is nothing unique its called lifesteal and lots of champs have it built in | ||

Because his HP bar AND his resource bar are restored at once.

I don't really understand what is this hatred for resourceless champions, they are still restrained by range and cooldown, and they promote a very aggresive playstyle. They are nearly impossible to punish for that aggression if they don't screw up though. Thats the trouble. | ||

He's resourceless with free sustain. All the ones you quoted have mana to manage, so even if they are 100% hp but oom they can be pushed out of lane. Tell me how you would balance Irelia or Warwick if they had no mana bar and were 100% cooldown based. | ||

Who is also a shit design, and one they've openly admitted to as being almost impossible to balance. Great example. | ||

Aatrox who has to melee autoattack to lifesteal or Nidalee who needs to wait for her mana to regen so she can heal herself with no risk and no counterplay | ||

Meh I don't think Aatrox is that bad, i just hate revive mechanics. | ||

Great example. vladimir is ranged though this guy has to melee attack creeps to sustain which is pretty much as vulnerable as you're going to get i have no idea why you just add resourceless champ +natural lifesteal and combine them and act like its a no brainer that its bad design even though theres no evidence at all that its op and even vladimir who they said is impossible to balance really isnt in a terrible place | ||

Jax is trash.

Irellia was designed to be an assassin. | ||

what matters is you need to stay in the fight a long time because you have very little burst and your DPS isn't among the best either so your main strength is your lifesteal/ga passive very similar to warwick because mana problems are out the window past laning phase warwick has more utility and base damage, but his scaling is slightly worse On June 16 2013 06:31 Scip wrote: What is more interesting as far as design goes Aatrox who has to melee autoattack to lifesteal or Nidalee who needs to wait for her mana to regen so she can heal herself with no risk and no counterplay + you can buy tear or get bluebuff and be effectively resourceless broken by design imo | ||

Then give him mana to manage during laning phase in exchange for sustain. Or attach a cooldown to it. Problem solved. | ||

His passive is sort of annoying but it just functions like a GA. After he revives he has no bonus aspd so he will not be nearly as effective so he won't accomplish that much. Aatrox without the bonus aspd or ult range is imo really really bad lategame. I still think he's pretty strong for a melee DPS but not as good as say, Pantheon. | ||

Small changes in the meta, or nerfs/buffs to other champions drastically swing the power of certain manaless champs in LOL moreso than any other class. See the recent Kennen/Vlad resurgence. | ||

Problem solved. what problem? you are convinced theres a problem, that he can lifesteal to full hp and while another champ can also lifesteal to full hp without using any mana but because he doesnt need mana he's broken? doesnt make any real sense | ||
