I'd still dodge a wukong support and AP gangplank myself ;)
Lemme guess... someone pinged you to come here because I mentioned you? XD
@@VarsVerum What can I say, I love some vars content
Appreciate it
@@HappyChimeNoises Likewise!
AP gp r is like valorant brimstone ult lol.
2 seconds and enemy dies
You can't dodge AP Gangplank because you don't know if he's going AP or not until you're in game lmao
When a character doesn’t fit a specific role, they are usually forced into top lane, forever being a niche unpopular pick (kennen, teemo, singed…)
Azir is considered midlaner
Heimerdinger is considered everylaner?
@@botronas6039 Heim support doesn't works because he will steal the farm, but nearly yes xd
@@indrickboreale7381 Actually no, if a Heimer places turrets deep in the bushes it wont steal, also Heimer turrets do like 15 dmg per attack, and an auto attack is 60 damage, so even if the Heimer fucks up a turret the adc wont lose a lot of cs.
I really don't know why kennen mains don't go mid/sup with thier abilities
They'd be good sharing many ap mid assassins
"what can a Nasus do when he's reduced to a crawl?"
Be the same speed as his opponent
Teemo jungle shrooming entire enemy jungle and hiding in bush for a trap is one of my favorite feeling
You're basically reenacting the vietnam war. lol
you are the reason God doesn't like us :)
If you don't do that with the Omega Squad Teemo skin you are missing out
What an idea, i have never thought of that
@@alihorda i see no god up here... Other than me!
@Shiftygears i got spirit blossom prestige, i guess that doesn't count :(
@Teemo main i go for dark harvest, cheap shot, eye ball collection and ultimate hunter plus in blue absolute focus and gathering storm/burn thingy with liandry, sorc boots and rabadon. One time i one shotted a kog maw from across the map. That was fun.
As a Teemo/Singed player, I can attest that ultimately, regardless of who wins or loses, any game that you cause a enemy to rage quit can be counted as a victory!
fellow teemo/singed enjoyer
So true :P The greatness of Teemo goes beyond the scope of just the game itself.
This, but not "enemy" just "someone" to rage quit.
@@Bodwaizer absolutely correct
I'm disgusted by u.....

Yordles: why everybody hates them
Idk, I really like yordles.
k l e d
@@release858 yordle player
Where does that come from? Other than teemo, what other yordle is hated?
@@tbone9474 for the toplane, Teemo, Heimer, Kled and Lulu are hated. Poppy, Kennen, Rumble and Gnar are fine imo, though I know some hate those champs because of their range as well.
Jungle: Nobody really has a problem with any yordles, except for Heimer I suppose who always wins 1v2 ganks.
Midlane: Corki, Fizz, Ziggs, Veigar and Lulu are hated for their own reasons all, but mostly because of their annoying poke.
Botlane: Tristana is known for her ability to mindlessly jump in and singlehandedly destroy everybody. Veigar/Ziggs/Heimer bot is also something you don't want in your games.
Support: Yuumi.
I'm genuinely conviced it's impossible to get tilted when playing singed, i just pop ult, ghost predator, run at the enemy carry at the speed of sound, and then they flash away as if they are getting away, he's so much fun and definitely one of my favorite champions in the entire game, also once you get some ap killing waves is really satisfying, and he can choose from arguably the widest amount of rune and item options out of any champion, with protobelt, riftmaker, shurelya, chemtank, liandry and night harvester as decent mythic choices and aftershock, dark harvest, conqueror, phase rush, predator, aery, spellbook and comet as rune choices, compare that to most other champions that have around 1 to 3 decent mythic and rune choices and you start to see how unique this guy is
Tldr: gas man good
@@ratas258 crit songed bonking them with spiky shield
Agreed. Stinky Sonic is super fun.
As a Zilean main I love playing with mobile champions such as Singed, with my E and Shurelya's you are SPEED.
@@MrAningan both rammus and singed are my mains and I sometimes play a bit of hecarim top so I love playing with zilean because going fast is fun as hell
Here's a secret tech for you. If you struggle with garen/malphite, take ghost, barrier with spellbook. They never expect that barrier at lvl 6 and it usually gives you just enough time to break they're tower with proxying, and now ur free from this bitchass lane with press r champions. Don't do that into darius tho. Only phase rush can save you from that guy
The first thing i mained as a casual was singed...just run
Singed doesnt care if hes 10 0 20 or 0 20 5 he will run and scale and eventually just win of the game goes on long enough😂😂😂
So what you're saying is that Singed only ever loses when the other team wins before he does? :)
@@buurzai correct my friend. And as singed ur so high its the only amswer u need 😂😂😂
@@buurzaiMore acurately: Singed only loses if his own team loses before the enemy team does.
(as a singed main i can tell this is quite right)
I can't think of a champ I've had more fun on in League than Singed
Me and my Friends Always Like to say that Singed doesnt get Kills, deaths and assists. He Just gets Points. And every Point is good^^
Me who plays singed: i play him to run it down LITERALLY!
Trueee
But usually I lose the game

Specialist/Zoners are made for specific kinds of people. Most of those people have my respect.
Teemo players can go rot in hell
Except teemo players
Hut...2..3..4
Hiem has my respect
Not teemo
Thank you 🙏🏻 Quinn main
I started playing a bit of Azir recently, and even though I kinda suck, he's stupid fun. Perfectly encapsulates his fantasy of backline commander. And a bunch of other specialists feel like that. Heimer kinda has that same "set up and go off" feel, which makes sense for a inventor, and even though he's certainly a bit annoying to fight against, he's still pretty fun.
As an Azir main, I agree. Heck! Even Heimer and Teemo are kinda fun (even tho I've always considered them as cancer for the game)
I can say as a fiddle main that the most frustrating thing is when a team mate doesn't understand my champ and expect me to 1v2 when I'm not in fog of war and I stand there like "boo"
another trans fiddle main called Iris? holy hell
@@RareEpicness eyyyyyy! :3

@@Shadow-iv3mm idk but it's very cool
How can you hate Teemo and Gnar they are so great! -This message is from a Yordle champion stan
virgin yordle haters vs chad yordle enjoyers
Prison ❤
Teemo I can see. But GNAR? He's the cutest little thing and a good Gnar on your team can carry teamfights.
I like the champs, hate the fact they're ranged toplaners
@@ImperiumofRat Yeah, I wish Gnar could fit into other roles. JG is awkward because he only has CC for a limited time that's difficult for him to control and clear properly. Mid lane lacks walls which makes his ult very awkward, and bot lane he's basically a worse Vayne that turns into a squishy melee champ (if you build him ADC)- the worst possible thing to be in the bot lane...
Vars reflecting on his childhood as no one wanted grape flavoured candy
Meanwhile in Bronze, literally can't go a day without seeing them.
In bronze if you play heimerdinger you just win if you're against melee... Against ranged you need a little bit of knowledge so it prolly won't work most of the times in that elo xD
In Bronze literally every champ is a specialist, as nobody knows what the other champs do or how to play. Same history with new champs that are play on rank because they think: nobody knows what my champ do. But that is double-edge as if you play badly your teammates will report you for try stuff.
@@carlosemiralonso7997 I mean, I know what every other champ does. I hardly doubt that people go in ranked without having a little bit of knowledge about Champs. If It happens that I play against a champ I don"t know (I played against everyone but for example I almost never saw Jayce) I'll just search it up and I swear most people do. It takes just a few normals to understand that you need to know what your opponent does before playing ranked, to play well.
Still, a toplaner playing against heimerdinger in bronze (I only played him and never had one against in all of my games) is gonna have a hard time since you have too many ways he does not know about to harass him. You just need to be good at skillshota
@@blveskj2372 The reason for my commentary is exactly that. Everyone i talk to, seem to known everything about the game, just in ranked they fail to apply...
I swear is no flamme, i know im hard on people but seem to be the case anyway. Even if i wasnt a lowelo player, most likely will think the same. As i watch many streamer on highelo (gm-cha) say the same about their games, like they say people dont known how to play (they said diferent thou, they said: inting)
@@carlosemiralonso7997 I know that that wasn't flame dw! I never said I know all about the game of course, but I just wanted to say that I hardly believe that people who Don 'T know what champs do, start a ranked.
There are MANY other reasons why I am stucked in bronze. For exemple I don't know when to abuse in lane, or when to roam, or when to engage.
Or even tho I know what other champions abilities are, I can' T predict where or when they are gonna use them and I'm not really good at dodging some Champs (like xerath)
The zilean part hits home,when your ADC is low hp and you ult him,and he decides to flash to get under turret
Same goes with disrupters in overwatch: sombra, mei, etc.
requires teamwork and sometimes out of the box thinking.
@Omega Zero Overwatch is a dumb easy game which is dead
@@GeodesicBruh it’s very dumb, but it’s certainly not easy, and it’s not dead
Still think the runner (high mobility during combate and sustained damage) class should be added Just for Singed and Lilia, currently udyr too but his getting reworked.
Jusain bolt champs😂
Lillia's getting a sorta rework - they're adding more sustain and decreasing her ms. Kinda disappointed ngl
@@leticiabastos6245 still a runner, it's Just a mini rework and doesn't really change her core identity of hit and run
@@leticiabastos6245 she definitely isn't losing speed in the late game, they tripled the ms ap scaling
@@leticiabastos6245 I dont wanna sound like a silver noob (which I am) but I always hated playing vs lillia.Her high movement speed makes it impossible to catch her unless I'm playing singed or any champion that has predator.They also cheese her midlane and I already have ptsd from her
Vars: No one plays specialists
Pro players: This sign can't stop me because I can't read
about Singed being badly designed: Honnestly, how would you expect a mad scientist to play like beside a degenerate playstyle ?
He just shits on the comedy gas man, because he counters his fav picks like Riven and such. Totaly bias, this man.
Blessed be the stinky one!
@@Abfallkannibale ew not riven, i respect teemo mains more than them
@@theokayguy360 Riven require a bit of practice with her combos before playing her decently, and she's like all those stat-check bruisers. I don't really mind her
@@H2SO4pyro True, but frankly she's been over tuned for years at this point. Just check her higher rank win rates, basically the same with Wukong when he was op but she never got the nerf he did. Not to mention because of her stacked kit, similar to newer champions, she can never be balanced between too strong and bad. (I've never seen her bad but I'm sure she was at one point.)
@@theokayguy360 Riven was bad when tanks were considered "op", because they didn't die to champs like Riven. The same people picked Fiora in response and kept complaining while hard-carrying with gifted crits + true dmg. Top lane is a meme for a reason.
Oh, you wanna know what Teemo is specialized in? He's specialized in shafting you in lane. That's what he does.
It's actually the opposite. Teemo has a multitude more Bad matches than he has good match ups.
He's good at stomping bad players, but that's it lol
@@A1phaz0ne I know, it's just a meme. When I started out, Teemo was a nightmare. Now it is a lane where I know that I will get fed, like 7 kills at 15 min.
@@diogoalfaia3238 If the Teemo knows what he is doing, probably not, but impossible to lose if you didn't pick a Melee Champion, that has Skills that count as Autoattacks.
@@1lik3Fir33mbl3m I was just joking. In the beginning, Teemo was nightmare for me. But now, I found him so useless. I don't lose lane against a Teemo anymore, and Teemo is useless outside lane, so it's basically playing a 4vs5. Any top laner with a strong engage just makes Teemo obsolete.
Yes they are specialists they are especially made in a way so not everyone is meant to play them cuz everyone know the difference of a good teemo and bad teemo with a bad teemo you forget he exists in game but againts a good teemo you are thinkinf every second that "i wonder if there is a mushroom or not" Almost all of them have easy kits on paper but its really hard to get the most out of them since they play a very unique role that i like and i HATE people who play these champions good but i have infinite amounts of respect towards them
I played a lot of Teemo when the Turbo-tank was the meta in the jungle. "Oh Hecarim wants to step on the gas and jump on me? Here boy, have 20 shrooms in the river to make you think twice"
@@Shiftinggers is there better feeling than spaming 5 shoots late game in to the enemy team that is clumped up .
Teemo is one of my 3 mains. Nothing is more satisfying than the random kills when you are not even in a fight.
also a teemo main, but (at least before the new items, so much harder now) I respectfully dont spec for mushrooms. To me they are only slows and extra vision, I went all the way to M7 as an AD teemo, I hide and when you least expect it shoot you in the back a few times, you stay to fight, blind and heal off lifesteal. Eventually bruiser teemo will dominate as long as I dont fall behind in cs/kills, it was all in the later game and getting into their heads. Sadly I have to go more AP now as the new items really do not lend well to this style, but I can support teemo now, good ole doctor teemo.
Teemo supremacy 🛐
approved
i just love how fiddlesticks plays like a slightly underwhelming mage then just becomes this terrifying diver when he gets his ult
It’s even worse when he gets fed
why nobody seem to categorize Bard as a specialist ? or is my playstyle just weird/inefficient ?
It's probably because he has some Pro relevance compared to other specialist.
@@justjuniorjaw look at Nid and graves they have had that as well
It's becaus he is a catcher, like Neeko, Ivern, Zyra.
He is an assassin that has some healer abilities
What I like about Specialists is the fact that, in different ways, you always have relevance at all stages of the game, but if you fall behind you are as useful as a minion.
The perfect balance
And AP GP is the true GP
and then there is Singed
Hearing people hating on teemo and singed just makes me want to play them more
Alternativ title:
Why Specialist are no one's favorite class.
Ps. Im no one
Graves and Nidalee actually having high pick rates
That's true, but most specialists are unpopular.
Why the heck nidalee is not consiidered a burst mage is beyond me
@@lowceyn2875 bc à burst mage don't go in melee range to do half of his damage

"Having a mechanic that can't be countered by conventional means"
Laughs in red trinket.
Shrooms become distractions after that. Basically Anivia wall while the teemo still autos the person to death. It is also useful for allowing allies to race objectives because the enemy team needs to clear the shrooms or take a slower route. I used this exact strategy just yesterday.
I love playing Teemo! I love setting up plans where when you manage to make it work it gives you immeasurable satisfaction. Even better when enemies start malding cuz they can't do anything against you anymore
your way of talking and explaining is so concise its amazing keep up this incredible work!~
Thank you! Will do!
As a former teemo main I get it 100%, some games you have a great impact, some games you are just throwing shrooms around in case your team fights there.
As someone who was always drawn to specialists above anyone else, I finally understand why LoL was such a frustrating game for me to try and learn and progress thru
Heimy is great once you get the hang of him - his turrets, while fragile, output surprising damage. Still, he's difficult, so like any difficult champion, he's not played much.
Difficulty has multiple aspects
There is a difference between heimer "difficult" and thresh "difficult"
So no, difficulty has zero reason for why he isn't played. It's a lack of flexibility and gratification for mastering the champ. Thresh, riven, and Lee sin for example, are champs with high skill ceilings and/or floors that make it so when you learn them, they can be utilized in a multitude of ways. Heimer, singed, azir, and teemo all still have difficulty, but when you compare utility to the aforementioned champions with high play rates AND skill capacity, you begin to realize that specialist type are literally incapable of having higher play rates. Signed has one gimmick and no real area in microplay to improve or flex champion knowledge. Noting players like sirchez playing singed, he has an outstanding grasp on macroplay because of the champions he plays.
Apologies for the essay
Yea and I'm still level 10, haven't played ranked yet and I'm practicing heimerdinger from the start since vars said that he's one of the hardest champions to play at a high level of skill, which meant that I would he learning new things even in platinum and above, hope to get good at him soon
Just remember with heimer, you will never look cool and everyone will hate you.
Also take him top or support, mid is too coinflip

I just started playing and I absolutely love playing is Hiamerdinger. I understand him well enough to where I can consistently win but I still lose a lot. Despite this not being a Hiamerdinger video, still got a lot of useful information from this. Thank you for the help! :)
Thank you for the video!
Now I pretty understand, why playing such champs as Azir sometimes are pretty hard, and I do not mean mechanics. Not only enemy team expects anything like Shurima shuffle and all that, but also your allies, what can be a pain in the back.
You are fishing my likes with that Fire Emblem: Fates music. How dare you exploit my "one true weakness" as a mutual friend of ours would say?! :D
I was going to make a very similar comment about the music; glad to see I'm not alone!
"Dusk Falls" for anyone else searching
I just picked up the game recently and I was having trouble finding the right character. Until I saw fiddlesticks. I didn’t know his abilities or if he was good, I just thought his story and design was cool. I picked him up and quickly found my role as the middlesticks. I’m definitely gonna try more specialists now that I know my favorite character is a specialist
great content man keep up the good work :)
Appreciate it!
As an ADC Heimerdinger main, I must say that he's the champion that I enjoy the most because of all the things he can do. With some knowledge (and some help from your team) you can obliterate enemy botlane and force early dragons, and the fact of having 3 different ults makes him very versatile on teamfights, so you can zone the enemies, burst them or apply massive CC, depending on the situation. I can adapt, and that's what I love about it. Some specialists mains have told me the same about champs like Teemo or Gangplank: they can adapt and they're fun to play.
I'll be honest I one trick Singed since the beginning because of how hard CSing and slow pace laning is, Singed has so much mobility and options (CSing and last hitting were the main reasons). I fell in love with the concept of proxying. The game never feels slow.
I do think Singed is the most unique design, too unique in a negative and positive way. I wanted to play something that is "off meta," not the worst and not common, it can hold its own and still win the game, Singed was my answer (this is simply new player syndrome). Too bad Singed loses against other Specialists.
Singed does fall off in meta, mainly because he doesn't have a defining optimal item and rune build (which is a good and bad thing), only items are touched in patches making other champs stronger, and simply every champ around Singed is getting buffed. He is the only character that can take almost any item and keystone, and make it useful. Singed is almost never touched to buff or play, "League does not support individuality - Vars," that is so true. Singed is like a mountain, the mountain for the most part stays the same, but everything around it grows.
I'll tell you why no one plays specialists: Because they're special :D
Ists
You sir, you deserve more likes
Amazing video(s), I love them!
YES Teemo I actually love the fact that he is unique so much, especially his passive that has been buffed well this season

Nice vid as always
Glad you enjoyed it!
14:00 whoa that's some hot take lol. I like playing 3/5 of those mentioned champs. The yordles
As an Azir main, I usually just try to wait for my team to engage first and when the enemy starts backing away i dash in to bring them back. At least then I'm actually sure my teammates have my back and I dont have to be disappointed with the expectation that my team would engage when I do it first.
Or when enemy is near your tower🤣 you can hear the enemy scream even if he's on the other side of the world.
I feel like with her current ability set and passive, Illaoi would fit in a specialist role as well
A minute in and i feel attatcked both for my gaming character preferences and my own personality 😭 the candy examples took me out cause of how relatable they are. I love the flavors people leave behind, they’re always my favorites. I’m a heimer one trick and a big fan of banana laffy taffy. And if I’m ever presented with jolly ranchers, the automatic choice is grape.
lol at the Nid at 5:30 with the pocket Yumi so hard to counter that bs
So with Fiddle, there are other full clear scaling mages and with graves there are midgame bruisers that play similarly to them. The problem applys to nonspecialists as well as if you main jg then playing kindred and ivern will give you no mechanics that could be transfered elsewhere in the role. as someone who mains kindred and was playing her when i first started, i literally couldnt play assasins or bruisers because of how i played and i couldnt play early game or scaling focused charcters because i couldnt get the tempo right. Its not just specialists who have this problem.
Me waiting for Kayle in this video
/ OwO /
I need that background song so badly. Awesome just as the video itself
this is why i love specialists as a teemo main i love having versatility and exploration
One of the above characters is Singed
Do not be like Singed
Cover your mouth and your nose with the mask
Stay safe :)
It appears as if specialists specialize in being not being played
Most of them at least as some of them like Graves and Nida specialize in being played
The two things I think making singed struggle a bit are the itemization and the prevalence of counter toplaners. You can overcome this sure but often you're fighting from behind
I feel that yorick is in this category also. Very niche pick and you need to play around his graves/maiden timer with both macro and micro plays.
Heimer main here!
Me 2 :D
Why no one plays Veigar Day 99 :)
Bruh a part time veigar player I'm offended !!
My guess would be that his kit is like the opposite of flexibility, with 4 out of 5 of his abilities is just damage and more damage. This kind of kit works better for a botlaner, with a support providing more utilities. And, Iirc, he has quite good winrate as an APC.
Futhermore, I think games nowaday usually don't last long enough for him to become an actual menace.
@@cedrusnguyen5188 Yes I agree
Veigar is more of a mix to late game champ and I can most games end by 25 min or mostly by one or other team ffing
I feel veigar is one of the most overlooked champs when it comes to scaling potential !
Love your content
I play singed, heimer & teemo often. Quite fun. Took a while to learn. But fun
As a Quinn and Kyle Top Laner ... I feel Respected.
Thank you for always making this videos
Now I can't wait for mages and controllers
The other 2 classes' videos should be arriving later this month? I'm exited for that
as a heimer main, I went on a 7 losing streak when I picked him up, but his stunning and killing enemies under turret is really a worth it feeling. tho I’m kinda used to explaining teammate my ability every game
I love Specialists. Well, a few of them anyway. Azir is my main, GP is a champ I would LIKE to main someday, used to play Heimer back in S2, and discovered how much I love Zilean while playing ARAMs.
Never cared much for Teemo. Playing against or playing as it doesn't matter, I just don't have fun lol.
Oh, and Cho'Gath! I love playing Cho. :)
i main gp and then learned azir :3, learning azir made me better at gp so maybe it will do the same to u in reverse
i can't wait to see what kind of specialist the new yordle will be
I would add that some champions when played in offroles play like specialists or zone control champions. Best examples are shaco and maokai when played support with ap scaling. When those two champions are played ap, they are far from their traditional playstyle of assassin for the first and tank for the second, because shaco support lack the burst of an assassin and maokai support lack the resistances of a tank.
After this video I believe that Gwen(my main) is possibly another specialist since unlike every other slayer she has long range projectiles and due to her W she has to play in a very odd way since she will be one shot without it up and positioning it is odd too. I can’t tell if this is due to her being very unique but still a slayer or that she might actually be closer to a specialist.
For those who want the music name it's Dusk Falls, from Fire Emblem Fates.
That jolly rancher metaphor was truly genius
When playing teemo there's nothing more satisfying than knowing your shrooms are causing them stress, or seeing them hesitate because they fear you're invisible close by when you're across the map
Dusk Falls Fire earned you a sub my friend
I want a video talking about Poke Mages.
To the midlane to support role because we get countered by existing
I love playing specialists, I play a lot of singed, azir, and heimerdinger.
They're fun idk why but they are to me
Heimer main here, hope this is a great video
Me 2
I'm happy I saw this I mainly play Donger so this made me laugh
7:00 gps weakness is that his burst is diffusable. While yes you can just walk out of its range, gangplank can easily chain barrels to hit anyone in the backline.
Edit: specialists are hated by the enemy because they require a change in play style and mentality and hated by their own team because they usually do not add much to a team comp and can be easily countered with proper macro
Teemo is really funny to me cuz I'm fairly sure outside of his shrooms he's just kinda outdated. Like he's an ap autoattacker that stops people from autoattacking him and moves kinda fast even though he has no true mobility. Teemos a big fave of mine because he's just so completely braindead outside of his passive and ultimate which are really funny to get working.
As someone who loves playing Azir I can totally see what you mean. I always have a blast playing him, but it's also hard for my team to know what I want to do unless I tell them very specifically. Something like that might never change, but I would be super sad if they removed/reworked him. Also playing Teemo toplane may or may not be my guilty pleasure... xD
For me playing Azir, I just decided to play him bot with a friend to not have to deal with it as much. Azir is a good

I love gp for one thing and one thing only, his barrels are a really fun minigame
This was part of why original karma's kit was reworked. No one understood how to work with her tether even though it was incredibly powerful albeit clunky when used effectively. It was so fun clotheslining an entire team and doing big dmg and drastically slowing them all with a cooperative teammate.
