EDIT: Also, this might be nostalgia, but I still think double-E Lee Sin ultimately would have been healthier for the game than removing the bug but then subsequently buffing the shit out of everything else. | ||

Go figure the game going downhill coincided with the release of the most toxic champion in the game.

I dunno, recently been liking how LoL becoming less bursty. Longer engagement in modern LoL is far more interesting than short burst engagements. Also movespeed becoming a bigger and bigger influence in the game, and people are less and less likely to be 1 shotted (minus leblanc bullshit). | ||

Longer engagements are also partially a product of strong counter-engaging ability that reverse attempts to instagib someone--a lot of the strong picks of the time were characterized by this kind of strong counter-engage (Jarvan, pre-nerf Janna, etc.). | ||

On release day, I don't think a single ADC could lane against him except Cait, but he even burst her out of lane most of the time. Don't forget base attack speed! | ||

Of course at that time it was only toplane Elise. Jayce was weird, he didn't get played alot on release, quite some time had to pass before people figured out how broken he was Vi wasn't much different from now. She was overtuned (which was counterbalanced by small bugs that were QoL'd quickly) but that's not comparable to outright broken OP like release-Darius or release-Zyra. | ||

Go look at the patches, Darius has been barely changed. He was not OP at release, just overhyped. HOT DAMN I'm a Reaver.

Hide yo probes, hide yo SCVs, and hide your drones, cause I'm dropping everybody out here Eh. The ratio nerf on his passive hurt quite a bit since his passive was his primary source of damage. Even though it's only 0.1 AD ratio, it's actually reasonably big since Darius reliably gets 3~5 stacks of his passive every time he goes in to trade. It's also a bit of a meta thing. When Darius was released, all the popular top laners were particularly weak to Darius and also weren't amazing at flash farming back into relevance the way Shyvana and Mundo are. | ||

"His passive was his primary source of damage"? That's just nonsense. His passive only applies when he deals damage, you can consider it as 20-30 extra damage per spell/auto-attack, it's good but it's impossible for it to do more damage than the skills/auto-attacks themselves. Sure, he gets 3~5 stacks of his passive every time he goes in to trade. So at 60 bonus AD he lost 30 damage over five seconds. | ||

Low-health champions are OP. Makes people chase them to the end of Earth, let towers die, dive, get baited, stay after an enemy has respawned post-teamfight, give up drake, and all sorts of things. ._. Of course Teemo does it at full-health but I'm not sure if that still makes him OP. | ||

And then people were like wait... if I just build damage on Jayce, hooollly crap look at the damage. | ||
