    One of the most infamous things I remember from league history (besides playing support around the same time) was freshly released Morde rework, the one with dragon.
    My guy just walked around oneshoting everyone with a single Q attack string. Over and over.
    And if I recall correctly, he suddenly became the strongest marksman back then, even though he was a melee, non mobile, low range juggernaut.

    i am surprised kassadin did not feature in this video considering when most people think most broken champions they think of kassadin in his glory days. 99% ban rate, a point and click 2.5 sec silence, 700 range ult, 10 stacks of ult, 100 more base damage and higher AP ratios on his entire kit.

    I remember that when galio hit in 7.21 people were talking on reddit asking if the devs had forgot a zero somewhere in the numbers. Over 50% max hp damage on a ranged, 6sec CD ability was so insane, you dont even see those numbers on ultimates. I also remember that the dev coment on his hotfix patchnotes tried to discredit the idea that it was a typo, can't find those coments for the hotfix anymore to confirm it tho. So insane to think that anyone on the balance team would look at those numbers and think they were ok, most 200 years moment ever imo.

    Old AP Gragas, pre-2014 rework.
    His Q dmg had a 90% AP ratio, his R dmg had 100% AP. Both were aoe and Q had a base 7s cooldown at max rank with an attack speed reduction debuff instead of movespeed.
    W had a cooldown of 25s and lasted 20s, so with just a lil bit of ability haste you had an always on +70 AD & 18% damage reduction buff at max rank. Zero scaling/ratios.
    Body Slam had a flat 7s cooldown and dmg scaled with both AP and AD. At the time, Body Slam gave Gragas some of the best mobility in League.
    Gragas was also amazing at exploiting certain items like Innervating Locket (made famous by Guardsman Bob playing Udyr), DFG, Zhonya's Ring and RoA, while the DFG+Q+ult combo could easily assassinate anyone not building resistances or health in a single combo.
    New Gragas just doesn't play anything like the old one. 😒

      Also there was no need to wait 2 seconds for the cask to grow in power like it does now, the moment the barrel stopped rolling it could detonate at 100% power. And back then there was no aoe indicator on Q showing exactly how big the barrel aoe was.

      Le Blancs weakness is the majority of her damage is locked on single target.

      She’s not a pentakill champion. And even if you get fed if your team falls behind it’s not an easy feat to carry with her because you have to play perfectly as an assassin.
      Yeah she’s a nightmare in lane, small skirmishes and when she’s free to roam but teamfights is where she falls off and loses reliability because a more enemies means there’s more that can go wrong.

    Full Tank Olaf back when his E had no scaling but high base damage. Sigil of Silence LB w/ Deathfire Grasp (it was a 120AP item that had an active that damaged a target and increased all subsequent magic damage to that target for a few seconds). It literally had no counterplay. At all.
    Tank Ekko. For a while his base damage was high enough that he could still nuke people while using a bruiser/tank build.
    4.20 Warwick. This was moreso due to the jungle item changes than the actual champion. There were items that would modify the effects of Smite and allow you to hit champs with it. The red smite caused a debuff on the target that caused them to take a flat amount of true damage on-hit. On top of that, one of the jungle items gave you stacking magic damage on hit (it stacked via champ takedowns and large/epic monster kills). So WW would get his jungle item, hit Level 6, walk up to his target, smite/ult them, and they'd take 3 on-hit procs while suppressed. It was bonkers.

    I know you gave an honorable mention to weedwick, but he really deserved to be in this vid. That champ was insane, he got to level 6 without being punished, because he could turboclear the new jg safely while most other jgs were literally dying trying to full clear, then once he got lvl 6, he just went to a lane, pressed R, and killed his enemy with a point-and-click ability. It would only get worse from there too, he didn't fall off because once he fully stacked Devourer his on-hit damage (which his ultimate proc'd EIGHT times) would skyrocket.
    This was a champ made for noobs that had a 60% WR, which really honestly doesn't even do justice to how OP he was because EVERYONE was playing scaling strong clear on-hit champs that built the same items WW was, but WW still dominated them at 60%.

    Aphelios: Ooh, now I get the spotlight! Mother Moon, thank you. It’s time to go the next mission, Alune.
    Alune: It sounds like you! Let’s go, Aphelios. We’ll do them together.
    When Aphelios was released, I did remember him being a perfect nightmare. Others considered him as the 200 years ultimate terror. Even everyone got scared of him. Luckily, Aphelios mains now exist, so we have the courage to keep up with Aphelios and Alune!

    Yone, Yone, Yone, Yone, and Yone. I have video footage of him chasing me across HALF the fucking map on one Spirit Unmoored, past two turrets, AFTER I dodged his q, ult, and ALL his dashes and he still killed me. 3-4,000 units of mobility off his E and I dodged EVERYTHING that was not a guaranteed to hit by design such as auto attacks which are hard coded to ALWAYS HIT unless you have Jax dodge etc. Day 1 Samira was better, I was there. You could beat Samira if you were smart, you can’t beat Yone even if he’s dumb.

    Oh, the good old skarker. I picked him cause I was mad at tanks (And if you can't beat them, join them). Fast forward a couple of days I was a Godlike skarner with over 80% wr in rankeds. The clear speed, CC and damage was insane, you could auto-pilot the champion with little macro knowledge and still win games.

    Not gonna lie as a player since beta, this video touched NOT a single broken champion. Back in the days broken champs were; ap yi, ap xin, reworked morde, ap tryndamere, kassadin(which was permabanned in ranked in season1-2), katarina in all of her reworked forms almost, irelia in general(better nerf irelia meme), PERMA STEALTH CHAMPS evelyn&twitch(twitch stealth was like 1 minute duration as i recall), global ults with twisted fate and pantheon, ap sion&taric which were basically almost were the same champ( point and click q stun [tarics q did more damage according to the distance of the target and taric]and exploding shield w), one shot q ap nidalee, ad nidalee, bruisers after conqueror rune release, jax with perma dodge which could dodge abilities, OLD POPPY( your ult used to negate any damage taken from everyone but your ult target and your passive made it harder to be killed according to your missing health. Im tried of counting but you get the point.

    Leblanc's double silence. Mobility, etc.
    Kassadin's mobility, burst damage, and yes silence.
    Invi's mechanic with stacking passive of cleaver on Twitch or Eve's sunfire cape.
    Udyr/Sona's locket stance switch build
    Immortal Poppy, etc.

  • @Sylvine
    @Sylvine 3 місяці тому

    My personal OP pick... Well, I have two, because both were so hugely broken and yet went undetected for months.
    The more broken one was roaming support Sona top. The pick that singlehandedly led to support item changes. I had 65% winrate on that - and it would have been WAY higher if my own team didnt sabotage me in 20% of my games because "ff sona troll".
    The other was funnier... Support Tank pre-rework Nunu Jungle. I dont play jungle, it's my worst role. I hit diamond with Nunu Jungle in season 7. He had such insanely broken stats, and nobody noticed. He never really got nerfed, his rework was mostly due to outdated kit and low popularity. But his old W gave insane stats to a teammate, think Lulu W but on steroids, and he could use old locket to give his team a health % based shield. Due to how his old Q worked, he could get to insanely high (for the time) HP numbers easily, and Locket shield reached as high as 3k shielding. Teamwide. Ridiculously broken, entirey underplayed.

  • @khalilli6613

  • @justhair17
    @justhair17 12 днів тому

    One Mordekaiser in s5? That champion was probably the most broken thing I have ever seen. He was a must bann at words and if he actually got picked, he always won. Not to mention he was strong in soloq as well. All you needed was to kill a drake and you could literally summon it

  • @Faenry
    @Faenry 3 місяці тому

    Old Jax could get 100% dodge permanently, not just with his E, making him straight up invincible unless you could oneshot him with abilities because otherwise he'd just lifesteal his HP back during your cds. He could also dodge the fountain turret's attacks so he could just camp spawn after getting the 100% dodge (probably the reason it's a laser that ignores dodge now).
    I also used to have a very close to 100% winrate with midlane turtle/tiger Udyr (for some reason everyone was sleeping on it and played him phoenix jungle or whatever), before Locket brought him to the attention of pros and got him nuked (it was glorious for the brief time I got to include it in my build tho). My only losses were games in which their entire team ganked mid regularly all at once until I was too far behind to come back in the game, otherwise I could completely ignore the enemy midlaner while farming then reliably 1v5 after 10 minutes, which is around when I usually destroyed the mid t2 turret because I could just ignore the enemy laner and hit it every time my wave crashed. The only counters were silence/very heavy chain CC and very strong auto-attacks from fully farmed adcs late game but I usually already won by then.
    Those are the two most overpowered things I've ever experienced in League. Stronger than anything I can see in this video. Though the Aphelios ult was juicy.
    I've also experienced the permanent chain CC Skarner but it didn't scar me like the other two. He reminded me of old Mordekaiser with which I also used to 1v5, but it was trickier than just running in with Udyr.

    Yi AP, I truly defend he was the worst because he was kinda random in lane. Like could hit you for 300 +100%ap while farming or could not randomly, and he had the safe choice to save Alpha Strike when there were only 3 minions to guarantee it, not to mention he was like Kata (tho slower won't like) in teamfights but invulnerable and when he was targetable he was healing for twice his health bar with 300 defenses.

    An odd note about Leblanc. I remember people going full ad runes. And running 1 Dorians blade. The AP was already high enough so the logic was to give her autos just a little bit more to get the first kill. It was all about the first kill.. cause then if you got that you got an early spell book or whatever it was back then I don’t remember. Then you just snowballed out of control.

  • @Twinklemuncher2
    @Twinklemuncher2 3 місяці тому

    I think the most broken champ ever was either rune glave ezreal or release rework Akali. She had a stun on her ult, could use R1 without a target, her Q healed her, her shroud worked on turrets her E dmg was split 50/50 not 30/70 like it is now and her passive gave her energy back! All of that was removed and they of course also nerfed her numbers overtime too.
