So uhhh.... I just played some tryhard ARAM for the first time in a long long time...

Why does Leblanc 1 shot things without ult and take zero damage? is that supposed to be a thing or is my LB play just godlike?

LB has an average winrate because people don't know how to play her on ARAM. There are many broken champs who suffer the same problem, despite being crazy broken. Yes, she doesn't need ult to kill most champions on ARAM because her buffs mean her double Q alone is over 75% of a champion's health with two items. All of your 3 skill combos should be able to kill someone or do 90% of their health, that flexibility doesn't exist on SR.

I always go the same thing: DH with Ravenous Hunter and Presence of Mind means you never die or run out of mana. Ludens first item bc it synergizes too well with DH, then big AP items (one of the few champs I feel Rabadon's second is actually a good thing). Void if you want to destroy bruisers with only one or two MR items. It is very easy to do most damage in the game, often by a large margin.

You can also go AD LB, TF and crit with your abilities is enough to one shot 75% of champions, also you win 1vs1 with every ADC without having to hit a skillshot. Her numbers are just that insane.

Some champions have specific buffs/nerfs in ARAM, you can see them if you hover over the ARAM buff icon near your stats. Her ARAM adjustment are completely bonkers, +15% dmg and -15% dmg taken iirc might even be more. Likewise with Akali and many melee assassins.

Akali and Leblanc are probably the most overtuned champion in ARAM right now, you can build basically anything on them and carry regardless. Rek'sai and Lee Sin are also both lowkey bonkers.

Akali used to be 115% and I thought she was mad broken, now she has 118% damage and I don't know what to make of it. Almost all assassins have big buffs, so building tank is viable. Full AP Akali can do 50% of a Teemo's health with one Q and passive. Meanwhile Teemo does less than 50 damage an AA to her with full AP build, the balance is atrocious.

Yeah, Rek'sai and Lee are 'hidden' OP, the buffs basically mean they don't fall off, Rek'sai can burst a bruiser down if you build stuff like BC and DD, instead of troll AP. My current favorite is Tryn, he does 110% of his normal damage, which means that you can 4 shot everyone not a tank, if you have full rage and are fed it's actually only 2 AA and one E, so 1.5 seconds. I used to think he was garbage, and he was without buffs, but now his numbers outweigh the lack of utility.

It’s basically a skill shot because they need to be charmed for it to do decent damage. Honestly the glacial slow bot build would probably be playable as is if they changed her passive from a flat heal to a % vamp. She could abuse the new minion execute in the same way Caitlyn abuses minion headshot + dblade to become an immovable laner.

Not sure if that’s good for the game or interesting though

My buff would probably be to have outward Q do true damage to charmed targets, the anti synergy between her ult and charm and needed q return for high damage is what makes her so unthreatening.

I was just saying they could make her into an actual skillshot control mage around objectives instead of a D tier assassin.

Tried AP Twitch on ARAM, here's the damage breakdown. Went 23/14 building Nashor, Liandries, Guinsoo, Void:

- 24k AD damage
-9k AP damage
- 8k True damage

In conclusion, AP Twitch is garbage, you do 3x more damage with AAs than you do with your E. When you fully stack it, it does loads of damage, but most fights are over so fast you don't really get to use it. There is probably a better AP build, but since I was doing so well I thought I was doing loads of AP damage, when really it was my ult tearing through the opponents.

Don't think I can lose a game on Rek'sai in ARAM. When I get her it's a guaranteed win. Insane champ after 6.
