@@jakubsota2967 it's true damage in theory but in practice the damage is not true. that's because the repeated dmg is using the reduced dmg for the calculation. So while it IS true dmg, it is also reduced. Although it would be a bit more fair if the dmg was reduced twice
Invulnerability is balanced by positioning and time spent invulnerable. Yone's snap-back nullifies the disadvantage of both, which effectively makes it more powerful than true invulnerability while giving it the same basic effect (unless he's one-shot, which means that when he's even in lane/in game, he's actually almost always ahead since it's difficult to oneshot a Yone through his shield). Compare with a similar ability, Ekko's R. Powerful to be able to reset your mistakes, which is why it's an ultimate on Ekko. That's also why it feels worse to play against Yone than Kayle or Ekko. That ability alone makes Yone broken unless he's 0/15 at 15 minutes. Yes, I'm as biased as Vars, lol. Yone is broken and I hate him.

I will never understand how people don’t get that Wither is a broken ability. It’s the Exhaust summoner spell on a 9 second cooldown and it lasts for 5 seconds.
I thought the same thing, but some dude in the comments reminded me it's because it's usually connected to Nasus and how strong he himself is, not how strong the individual ability is. He's right, it's why Vars pointed it out at the beginning of the video lol

i think ornn passive underrated. Being able to buy items in lane, upgrade your teammates and get bonus stats for each upgrade. Imagine having 5 people on the same team with 5 ornn upgrades like thats insane
Its very strong, but just imagine an Ornn with 4 Xeraths on him bc of yuumis passive. If we are talking about "the most broken abilities in the game" there are combinations that are WAY worse then having 5 Ornn empowered Items
A lot of people don’t know this but ornn passive gives him 10% extra bonus armor, mr, and HP. It increases this bonus by 4% each time ornn upgrades an item, for a max increase of 30% to ornn’s bonus armor, mr, and HP. That in conjunction with the extra raw stats to his team from upgrades and buying shit wherever he wants makes ornn passive absolutely broken in terms of scaling potential. Sure he only begins to increase his % bonuses and upgrade items at level 13, only capping out at level 17 but ornn passive is a legit contender for top 10 because it does 3 really powerful things.
I feel like Veigar cage is a viable option. Sure the CC aspect is avoidable, but it's so reliable to trap people and is both used for locking in a target and peeling yourself. Large enough to block off entire pathways and relatively short cooldown for what it is. It's zoning potential is great.
You don't use Veigar E for the stun really. It's more of a zoning ability, where the enemy team can't go past or else they lost a huge chunk of their HP or their life outright.
I agree. It's pretty much a ranged Thresh ult that stuns on a basic ability😂 Even if you don't get stunned by it you are still stuck in it. And sometimes you wanna get out after it ends but you miss time it slightly and still get stunned for the full duration.
Lissandra's ultimate is way better. It's true that is not an AOE stun but a slow but it also does AOE damage and you can cast it on yourself to become invulnerable and heal yourself
Bruh are you guys for real? In one Passive you get: - Ability to build items in lane - Damage - CC - Increases duration of CC - Upgrading your items - Upgrading team mates items - Bonus stats to AR, MR, HP That ability is genuinely insane.
@@walkelftexasrangerthe britlle is part of the abilities, not the passive But it is a very good passive, maximun of 30% resistances and hp from all sources is insane
I bet a lot of champions would trade entire skill for a fraction of Ezreal's Q which reduces cooldown of ALL skills (including ULT) with eath hit on ANY valid target. Just imagine this passive bonus on some champ's main DPS ability (even melee ones): Karthus - Q cooldown is nonexistent (objectives die in 5 seconds) and R CD is like max haste lux (sub 15 sec) Yasuo - Q CD is sub 1 sec, Windwall is like permanent in teamfight, R CD is like 15 sec also. Annie, Vayne, Zeri... Even some tanks will want this.
I feel like Garen Q should be an honorable mention, having a champ that could just press one button and silence you for 1.5 seconds would be really good for assassins and tanks, as they could prevent the adc from flashing out or doing anything. It also cleanses slows and gives movement speed, plus any champ can use it,
@@Gamer-g2v1r I was talking about the old fear from old Fiddle's kit but yeah the new passive is a free hard control that would go well with every single hero. Imagine a poke support with that
Im surprised Evelynn’s passive isn’t on the list. Perma invis and ridiculous self healing for a champ with good escape options is pretty good. The mind games and constant pressure cause the enemy doesn’t know you are is pretty scary
Her passive isn't the issue, the issue began when they gave her a dashing invulnerability that repositions you and also happens to be a huge execute If she had another ult she would be way less frustrating
Dota 2 has a game mode called "Ability Draft" I'm not sure how practicle it would be for league considering the games spegetti code but its one of the single most fun game modes in any moba. URF doesn't even come close. You start off by picking a Hero in dota and then a pool of hero abilities are chosen based on who you pick. You then do a draft where everyone takes turns picking abilities untill everyone has 4. The fucking sheer unhinged combinations you can have is hillarious.
I once picked Slardar's E and Bara's E for my 2 slots!!! Holy fuck I was stomped hard but before we lost, I hoard enough attack speed items to perma stun the enemy from right clicking xD It is truly a dumb fun mode for everyone's dumb fun fantasy
@@cloudynguyen6527 My favorite combination was Bounty Hunters Jirada, Kunkas Tide bringer, Earth Shakers Empower, and Phantom assassins ult. Just right click and insta kill anything in a cone in front of you. If it crit with PAs ult you could kill 4000+ HP characters.
I feel like Akshan W should’ve made the list. Imagine someone getting a quadra kill and the just respawned Karthus kills them with his ult, then poof suddenly your entire team is back alive
TRUE actually, its similar to seraphine but the fact that you dont h ave to immediately use the same ability twice in a row but have the ability to do so is massive
It would pretty much be a downgrade of Zed's shadow on most dmg dealers imo but for the few champs that don't care about the extra range or blink that the shadow gives then yeah Zilean's W is going to be better while also working on more abilities (mainly auto attack enhancements, heals/shields and buffs)
@@dumbino7745its mainly just different, zed's shadow for example doesnt work on targeted abilities or on buffs, plus zed's w has a limited duration and cant be moved once placed, zilean w instantly resets your cooldowns meaning you can use the second round of abilities with complete freedom, you can for example blink twice in a row with ezreal e, you can chain cc with yourself with a morgana q or you can permanently have garen e active, stuff like that which you can't do with zed w
I feel like the Lamb's Respite (Kindred R) should be on the list. Not sure if most people agree with me, but I find the ability ridiculously impactful since a single misuse can literally save the entire enemy team and lose you a game.
I like that soul unbound got a mention. That ability is so disgusting. Not only does it give you bonus damage and a somewhat LB W. It also prevents any CC landed on you if you snap back in the right time. They should honestly remove that part where Yone is unstoppable from the ability.
i agree but also i feel like it would be perma bugged if the snap back part wasn't unstoppable lmfao not a good reason for game balance obv, but just practically
Malphite ult being here just makes me happy. Being unstoppable literally being able to go through anything and knockup aoe at the target location is crazy. Also has the option to go full ap and just be a nuke is god tier.
Kayle passive is a Lot better tristana passive gives You 150 range at level 18 but kayle passive gives You 350 range at level 6 plus a Lot of attack speed and a extra 100 range at level 16
Imo poppy w is also one of thr strongest. Not only does it block dashes, it gives a burst of movementspeed and it passively gives a quite hefty amount of resistances
also grounds you for 20min of you dare dash into it or if the poppy player is under 80yo and reacts to your dash. Grounding shouldn't exist man it's so annoying and strong
You should do a video on the best champion kits. There are many champ kits that arent overloaded, but synergize very well with each other (wukong for example)
After watching the video i now need a game mode like arena but you get to chose your abilities. You can’t change them in any way, q abilities must be in the q slot but u can combine as u want. I think it could get old quickly because of op combinations but it would be a lot of fun to have
DOTA 2 has this format game mode but even then, it can be restrictive and some heroes are outright disabled because their kits are so intertwined with each other. I don't have hope for League to do the same. Ultimate Spellbook was a wise design because some champion's ultimate can stand alone on their own.
I feel like Sylas's ult could be on here, covers quite literally any weakness, though it is reliant on enemy team, which is why Sylas is balanced as a generalist,
honestly believe bard ult should at least get some mention. it's one of the most devastating skills if used right, and with the right team coordination, can spell certain death for any enemy caught up unwittingly in it. doesnt even matter if the bsrd is 0/10/0, if his ult hit the enemy team in a critical way, much like malph ult, you basically set your team up for a major advantage in the team fight. although it could also be used for trolling.
yuumi's W is the entirety of her power budget for a reason, one of my favorite combos would be on powerful mages with key ults, kat, nunu, morgana, those would be amazing while being on tanks, nearly every enchanter would give want you and me as an ability, most mages, and some of the rest of the roster AND it doenst suck on everyone else enough to not take it
This video imbued me wirh the desire for a game mode where one of your abilities gets swapped out for a different ability. It could function as swapped abilities between the champs picked or it could be similar to Ultimate Spellbook/Aguments where you are given 3 to choose from. It could get even crazier by having your Q/W/E get swapped out at 6/11/16. So by the end of the game your kit is an almagamation of different abilities.
This just reminds me of the Dota game mode ability draft, where you get a pool of abilities you can choose from to create your own unique kit of 3 abilities and 1 ultimate. It was goofy as hell and really just emphasizes how broken some abilities are conceptually like a passive ability that steals an enemy's stats every time you hit them which is not fun when its on a ranged hero.
Neekos Passive on anybody. Ability to look like any teammate, any npc, and invisible ult prep. Global ults, burst ults, CC ults, would all just happen without warning.
For me the biggest bs is point and click CC. (And garen ult since it's basically 3 billion TRUE damage POINT AND CLICK + IT'S UNCANCABLE), like, you poke a little, then CC and they're DEAD bc they can't do anything bc they're stunned or rooted (or dead bc Garen ult does like 50% of the HP bar for mist champs in late game)
I think graves smoke screen in a skirmish if on the right target at the right time can solo win the fight, it not only renders the champion useless for a second but makes them do impulsive movement that can easely be punished by ur team, i cant imagine being squishy/imobile and getting blinded from everything, but it is a more situational ability so it sits just outside the top 10, great list nonetheless!
omg yes, i hate it so much even though i know it's not the worst. but it feels like a more intrusive nocturne ult somehow lol, kinda like quin's blinding assault, but hers is easier to miss
Weird combo I thought of with living shadow is if you replaced darius' passive with a 4th ability living shadow you've created a champion that would play nothing like either zed or darius which is fun
I would agree with these abilities. It's impressive while this is a theory craft video people have actually played with some of these abilities on other champs. I loved playing Arena with the "Chauffeur" augment or ultimate spellbook with Kayle's ult.
good lineup for current champions but I dunno if this counts for strongest of all time when abilities like diplomatic immunity, arcane mastery and comet of legend have existed in the past :x
The Shadow Assassin version of Kayn e is the single best ability in league of legends. It gives you unlimited ways to gank, mobility while in combat, slow resistance, practically a max rank Quinn ult the moment you transform, dome janky almost invisibility because of the way fog of war sometimes works inside walls and it basically has the Evelynn effect of not allowing adcs to be alone for a single second. Not to mention it literally breaks the rules of the game
If you ever do a sequal, you've gotta include nilah Q. It may not do much for mages or tanks, but it does so much for anyone that builds ap. Attack range, attack speed, insane damage if you build crit, not to mention free armor pen and lifesteal against champions. even if you don't normally build crit, if you have nilah Q it's more value to just build crit anyway, and for the champions who do, it is absolutely game breaking.
I feel like we also need to view these Abilitys also with the cost of other abilitys that you sacrifice for getting them. While yes, almost any champ would benefit from not being able to die with Tryndamere Ult, a lot of champs would be less playable when swapping it out, due to losing their actual ult. What would a Zed gain from not dying when his damage burst and mobility from the ult is gone?
I'm surprised Lissandra's Frozen Tomb isn't in this list. It can be cast on an enemy to instantly stun and damage them while doing an AOE damage and slow around them or you can use it on yourself as a Zhonyas that also heals you and deals the AOE damage and slow around yourself
I love how you’ll have people tell you the horror stories when it comes to league being this unintuitive game to learn and then you have champions like Yuumi existing, spitting in the face of accessibility and challenge alike.
My biggest issue with Malphite's Ult is it has zero cast time. Theres no wind up, theres no indicator, there is no warning. The only idea you have that he is about to use it is that he exists - he walks up. Its inane. Its like hes tripping. Hes not winding up a big lunge or dive or tackle. Hes just walking along and he trips and faceplants into your entire team then rolls with it like he meant to do it. An ability that has just as much power is Zac's E, but it actually takes time to charge up to full effectiveness and range, and even has an indicator and travel time.
ooooh forgot about it. that would so broken lol, it's only balanced because it's taric's skills replicating, but image two orianna's ults, two zoe q, two karma's q...
PoV: you dive a low health Kalista Thresh botlane. Lots of ways this could go wrong, obviously. What you didn’t expect was that Kalista would use you and me then ult. Neither champion is there now. They’re both gone. You start waddling out from under turret when the enemy Nocturn Ults. Riding on Nocturn is You and Me Kench who swallowed Malphite. Just as Nocturn hits you, E-max Dirty Fighting on-hit attack speed Thresh knocks you up with Kalista ult and starts promptly shredding you while Nocturn Withers you. You thought Tryn ult would save you on this dive, but you’re not going anywhere, bucko.
Viego's ability to transform into any enemy champion he kills and be able to recast their ultimate each time would be amazing in a lot of champions, imagine a malphite spamming their r (I say a lot of champion but cant think of any apart from maplhite although the part of using your enemys abilities is still pretty powerful)
@@themaskwhite9612 but the thing with viego's passive is that you need to dmg the person and need to walk up to take the soul. so it will not work for supports. they walk up for soul they get one shot and dies. or they might not even be able to do dmg to have the soul in the first place
@@ProbroXLv1 it could definitely be useful on something like an engage support. Go in, cc a target, get the assist, go invulnerable while transforming, heal up, then get a recast on your ultimate.
It's a bit off topic but I remember the devs saying "no our new champions kit aren't bloated" before releasing Viego ... The guy has literally every champion kit within him. BRUH
This is a good and fun video, however I have a few issues I want to point out constructively. Your example of Akshan’s passive being busted is Senna due to her passive. I don’t think it makes sense to say that she would get both passives, so she wouldn’t take souls anymore, and would lose that entire passive to get Akshan’s. The same goes for Yone’s E Soul Unbound, the example you gave is Jax jumping in and stunning you, but Jax’s stun is his E. This would be swapped out for Soul Unbound and he wouldn’t be able to stun anymore. I just want to point these out because I think the point is still valid in that it gets the idea across, but there are definitely better examples that would be more logical in the what if scenario of swapping abilities around. Maybe my point is weaker on non-passive skills because who cares what button they are on, but still.
Smolder currently has over 70% Presence in Emerald+ SoloQ and it was nearly the same a few patches ago. Time for an episode of "Everything wrong with Smolder"
If you thought Veigo and Sylas were complex to design, imagive a champ that does not have his own abilities to start with but has to choose 4 abilities and a passive from the 5 enemy champion when game starts.
i still remember when pro team pick kayle in the top lane and kaisa in the bottom lane, kayle just ult kaisa and then kaisa fly into the back line and nuke everyone
@@victorpedrosoceolin3919 well it’s on a basic ability of course it wouldn’t be as strong as malphite’s which is an ultimate, that would just be ultra broken
what about warwick passive, I honestly don't think there s a single champion in the game that wouldn't benefit from healing heath per auto while allso having built in on-hit effects
btw the single strongest ability is no doubt kayle's passive, imagine a kai'sa with 975 range, bonus magic AOE damage on autos scaling with AP and AD, bonus attackspeed scaling with AP and 10% movement speed
Yuumi W is good but ignoring that you can't just hop off and then right back on multiple times is saying there's no negative. You can't hop on for 5sec after being CCd, and goes on I think 10sec cool down if you hop off, on, and off again
Now that you mentioned Akshans Dirty fighting, what about Vayne’s True Silver bolt damage? Give that to fast attacking champions and the damage bar would all be grey XD Garen with Bleed stacks?
For stage pressence, I think its not as good because a lot of champions are passive based so the example of velkoz getting his destruction easier, not really because he loses destruction passive, sure, his w has a lot of good waveclear so losing it is bad but imagine having 2 qs on velkoz with a shadow... the bigbrain gameplay would be insane
nasus W singlehandedly shuts down marksmen for 5 seconds with the attack speed slow. i'm surprised it's being slept on considering they nerfed fiora's attack speed reduction yet nasus is allowed to keep his
Well its because Nasus is.......Nasus Fiora is an extremely strong champion in almost every team composition, and in any given time Fiora was nerfed because it's a strong ability in an even stronger character, while Nasus...he needs to farm the entire game to have the same effect Wither IS a strong ability that is severely nerfed by its own champion
You know Vars hate Yone when he picks his E over actual invulnerability.

@@dumbino7745its mainly just different, zed's shadow for example doesnt work on targeted abilities or on buffs, plus zed's w has a limited duration and cant be moved once placed, zilean w instantly resets your cooldowns meaning you can use the second round of abilities with complete freedom, you can for example blink twice in a row with ezreal e, you can chain cc with yourself with a morgana q or you can permanently have garen e active, stuff like that which you can't do with zed w
Imagine Kayle passive on Irelia 💀
Would make it so she's an actual champ afrer 20 minutes
ranged irelia lol
mah man still pumping out content on LoL, Genshin and Star Rail like just another Tuesday.
Too bad it's hot garbage most of the time.
The fact that they reworked Yuumi in wild rift where her shield passive would activate at ability hit even when attached to someone is just mmmm
Wiile rift sucks, the player base is so bad at the game, they have to simplify champion.
tru im bronze in league and diamond in wild rift xd@@Ghostleeee
@@Ghostleeeeit's not easy to play a game on joysticks that took half the screen
@@KhanhLe-ln3ut than buy a bigger phone, I played on iPad.
Everyone that playing this game on a small screen is stupid.
@@KhanhLe-ln3ut and u can optimize the button….
I feel like the Lamb's Respite (Kindred R) should be on the list. Not sure if most people agree with me, but I find the ability ridiculously impactful since a single misuse can literally save the entire enemy team and lose you a game.
fr, i have seen it lose more fights then win haha
hell naw! I don't even level that shit anymore, that shit is a troll ability. Just give me a long range execute over that shitty shit.
omg parm are you a leauge of legends player???😰😰😰
i would say it more of infinity value ability. how strong or how weak it is, depend only on the user's skill
@@toreq1127 I am sorry brother, I have been playing League for 13 years.
You hit the nail on the head with all of these. I don’t think I could come up with a better list myself.
I like that soul unbound got a mention. That ability is so disgusting. Not only does it give you bonus damage and a somewhat LB W. It also prevents any CC landed on you if you snap back in the right time. They should honestly remove that part where Yone is unstoppable from the ability.
i agree but also i feel like it would be perma bugged if the snap back part wasn't unstoppable lmfao
not a good reason for game balance obv, but just practically
True but at the same time it can be easily countered, it’s so funny waiting for a yone to snap back and waiting ready with all your spells lol
They need to reduce true damage on his E by 5-10% or move speed
Malphite ult being here just makes me happy. Being unstoppable literally being able to go through anything and knockup aoe at the target location is crazy. Also has the option to go full ap and just be a nuke is god tier.
full ap malphite is a joke, not even that much more dmg than the tank
Tristana passive could be devastating for some champions, imagine. A tf stunning you from 1000range
on paper Senna's passive is Tristana's one but better
Kayle passive is a Lot better tristana passive gives You 150 range at level 18 but kayle passive gives You 350 range at level 6 plus a Lot of attack speed and a extra 100 range at level 16
Why is my W not here? It's the best ability for Draven to int, I mean, donate gold.
You mean do social service
@@LeBlancLover exactly. Social service 😎😎😎
ghost cleanse technology
Imo poppy w is also one of thr strongest. Not only does it block dashes, it gives a burst of movementspeed and it passively gives a quite hefty amount of resistances
also grounds you for 20min of you dare dash into it or if the poppy player is under 80yo and reacts to your dash. Grounding shouldn't exist man it's so annoying and strong
@@-B.L.E.S.S.E.D-you think one of the only true counters to league of dashers shouldn't exist? Interesting.
@@-B.L.E.S.S.E.D-ok, just take the dashes out of everyone's kit, then it won't need to exist
@@futabagamingyes it’s just as annoying as windwall, counter strike, yuumi W etc. denying people’s kits is not fun
You should do a video on the best champion kits. There are many champ kits that arent overloaded, but synergize very well with each other (wukong for example)
After watching the video i now need a game mode like arena but you get to chose your abilities. You can’t change them in any way, q abilities must be in the q slot but u can combine as u want. I think it could get old quickly because of op combinations but it would be a lot of fun to have
DOTA 2 has this format game mode but even then, it can be restrictive and some heroes are outright disabled because their kits are so intertwined with each other.
I don't have hope for League to do the same. Ultimate Spellbook was a wise design because some champion's ultimate can stand alone on their own.
Yo the editing on this one is dummy good!! Just crazy, props to The editor
You just couldn't make a vid without shitting on Yone again, love it.
Yone deserves it.
I feel like Sylas's ult could be on here, covers quite literally any weakness, though it is reliant on enemy team, which is why Sylas is balanced as a generalist,
Imagine a Karthus support with the "You and Me" ability...would be annoying as heck lmao
1:50 Zul'jin from HOTS would like to talk to you about his Taz'dingo
akshan W is better than passive, u have stealth, move speed to someone who killed ur teammate and u can REVIVE them..
And everyone forgets about Eve passive imagine everyone going on stealth and having a warmog on kit
You can compare a lot of ults just by seeing someone like Sylas stealing them and having better use of them than the champion that he took it from
kennen ult being a strong contender here
@@Underworlder5 Strangly enough, Gnar's ult too because he can just use it immediatly and boom
5:18 Riot is realling making us read an entire book for a passive.
honestly believe bard ult should at least get some mention. it's one of the most devastating skills if used right, and with the right team coordination, can spell certain death for any enemy caught up unwittingly in it. doesnt even matter if the bsrd is 0/10/0, if his ult hit the enemy team in a critical way, much like malph ult, you basically set your team up for a major advantage in the team fight.
although it could also be used for trolling.
yuumi's W is the entirety of her power budget for a reason, one of my favorite combos would be on powerful mages with key ults, kat, nunu, morgana, those would be amazing while being on tanks, nearly every enchanter would give want you and me as an ability, most mages, and some of the rest of the roster AND it doenst suck on everyone else enough to not take it
This video imbued me wirh the desire for a game mode where one of your abilities gets swapped out for a different ability.
It could function as swapped abilities between the champs picked or it could be similar to Ultimate Spellbook/Aguments where you are given 3 to choose from. It could get even crazier by having your Q/W/E get swapped out at 6/11/16. So by the end of the game your kit is an almagamation of different abilities.
I was expecting kassadin ult. Every champ could use it and they would be broken
Garen's R and W are may be the best Offensive and Defensive ability in the game respectively.
Was fully expecting katarina passive to show up in this video. Anyway, good stuff!
Nah, i prefer Ezreal Q; sure, the cd reducction is lower, but you dont depend on killing someone.
Best/top ten hooks/pulls?
Blitz pyke naut sett Diana… etc might not be enough of them for a video but might be fun to do 👀👀
I think the absolute best was Urgot's old ult tbh
This just reminds me of the Dota game mode ability draft, where you get a pool of abilities you can choose from to create your own unique kit of 3 abilities and 1 ultimate. It was goofy as hell and really just emphasizes how broken some abilities are conceptually like a passive ability that steals an enemy's stats every time you hit them which is not fun when its on a ranged hero.
Neekos Passive on anybody. Ability to look like any teammate, any npc, and invisible ult prep. Global ults, burst ults, CC ults, would all just happen without warning.
For me the biggest bs is point and click CC. (And garen ult since it's basically 3 billion TRUE damage POINT AND CLICK + IT'S UNCANCABLE), like, you poke a little, then CC and they're DEAD bc they can't do anything bc they're stunned or rooted (or dead bc Garen ult does like 50% of the HP bar for mist champs in late game)
I think graves smoke screen in a skirmish if on the right target at the right time can solo win the fight, it not only renders the champion useless for a second but makes them do impulsive movement that can easely be punished by ur team, i cant imagine being squishy/imobile and getting blinded from everything, but it is a more situational ability so it sits just outside the top 10, great list nonetheless!
omg yes, i hate it so much even though i know it's not the worst. but it feels like a more intrusive nocturne ult somehow lol, kinda like quin's blinding assault, but hers is easier to miss
Soul Unbound also cleanses CC upon recast. Timed correctly, you can cancel out stuff like knock ups and suppressions.
You should redo the summoners video, comparing the system with other mobas that have good summoners not random games from different genres.
Happy to see Tekken 8 OST invading a league video
I personally think shaco q should be on the list. I think anybody would benefit from another flash that makes you invisible for around 3 seconds.
Shaco's Q Deceive is up there for me. a flash that turns you invisible on a like 8 second cd
So true. It would be an insane escape for any ad carry, an insane engage for any tank etc. Imagine Amumu with it omg
I would even go so far as to say that shacos Q is the best movement ability in the game. BY FAR.
Weird combo I thought of with living shadow is if you replaced darius' passive with a 4th ability living shadow you've created a champion that would play nothing like either zed or darius which is fun
I would agree with these abilities. It's impressive while this is a theory craft video people have actually played with some of these abilities on other champs. I loved playing Arena with the "Chauffeur" augment or ultimate spellbook with Kayle's ult.
good lineup for current champions but I dunno if this counts for strongest of all time when abilities like diplomatic immunity, arcane mastery and comet of legend have existed in the past :x
The Shadow Assassin version of Kayn e is the single best ability in league of legends.
It gives you unlimited ways to gank, mobility while in combat, slow resistance, practically a max rank Quinn ult the moment you transform, dome janky almost invisibility because of the way fog of war sometimes works inside walls and it basically has the Evelynn effect of not allowing adcs to be alone for a single second. Not to mention it literally breaks the rules of the game
If you ever do a sequal, you've gotta include nilah Q. It may not do much for mages or tanks, but it does so much for anyone that builds ap. Attack range, attack speed, insane damage if you build crit, not to mention free armor pen and lifesteal against champions. even if you don't normally build crit, if you have nilah Q it's more value to just build crit anyway, and for the champions who do, it is absolutely game breaking.
I feel like we also need to view these Abilitys also with the cost of other abilitys that you sacrifice for getting them. While yes, almost any champ would benefit from not being able to die with Tryndamere Ult, a lot of champs would be less playable when swapping it out, due to losing their actual ult. What would a Zed gain from not dying when his damage burst and mobility from the ult is gone?
another thing is death mark is single target whereas soul unbound can be used to do delayed damage to an entire team
Vibing to the Reina theme (great video as usual)
I'm surprised Lissandra's Frozen Tomb isn't in this list. It can be cast on an enemy to instantly stun and damage them while doing an AOE damage and slow around them or you can use it on yourself as a Zhonyas that also heals you and deals the AOE damage and slow around yourself
I love how you’ll have people tell you the horror stories when it comes to league being this unintuitive game to learn and then you have champions like Yuumi existing, spitting in the face of accessibility and challenge alike.
My biggest issue with Malphite's Ult is it has zero cast time. Theres no wind up, theres no indicator, there is no warning. The only idea you have that he is about to use it is that he exists - he walks up. Its inane. Its like hes tripping. Hes not winding up a big lunge or dive or tackle. Hes just walking along and he trips and faceplants into your entire team then rolls with it like he meant to do it. An ability that has just as much power is Zac's E, but it actually takes time to charge up to full effectiveness and range, and even has an indicator and travel time.
i have a clip of dodging his R with Akali E and it is so satisfying.
Taric W. no questions asked. Ever spell also happens on your teammate.
ooooh forgot about it. that would so broken lol, it's only balanced because it's taric's skills replicating, but image two orianna's ults, two zoe q, two karma's q...
I hear that Tekken soundtrack in the background, I didn't know you were that cultured 🤝🏾
I always wanted an Ability draft game mode like in dota 2 where you can make your own skill sets.
With Zed you can leave the shadow in the fog of war oneshot someone and go back in the fog and they will never know where you are
PoV: you dive a low health Kalista Thresh botlane. Lots of ways this could go wrong, obviously. What you didn’t expect was that Kalista would use you and me then ult. Neither champion is there now. They’re both gone. You start waddling out from under turret when the enemy Nocturn Ults. Riding on Nocturn is You and Me Kench who swallowed Malphite. Just as Nocturn hits you, E-max Dirty Fighting on-hit attack speed Thresh knocks you up with Kalista ult and starts promptly shredding you while Nocturn Withers you. You thought Tryn ult would save you on this dive, but you’re not going anywhere, bucko.
Having a Neeko with Malph ult wombo comboing your entire Team herself sounds scary af
Passive - Dirty Fighting
Q - Decimate (or Steel Tempest)
W - Wither
E - Soul Unbound
R - Demacian Justice
How does this kit sound?
Only one damaging ability apart from ult so no that good
sion would be utterly demonic as a yuumi attachment. imagine him combined with a normal brawler who can just run at you like reneketon
Viego's ability to transform into any enemy champion he kills and be able to recast their ultimate each time would be amazing in a lot of champions, imagine a malphite spamming their r (I say a lot of champion but cant think of any apart from maplhite although the part of using your enemys abilities is still pretty powerful)
amumu, orianna, heck even soraka or milio infinite healing
@@themaskwhite9612 but the thing with viego's passive is that you need to dmg the person and need to walk up to take the soul. so it will not work for supports. they walk up for soul they get one shot and dies. or they might not even be able to do dmg to have the soul in the first place
@@ProbroXLv1 it could definitely be useful on something like an engage support. Go in, cc a target, get the assist, go invulnerable while transforming, heal up, then get a recast on your ultimate.
@@jandjhroco ya true. i'm talking about enchanter supports
It's a bit off topic but I remember the devs saying "no our new champions kit aren't bloated" before releasing Viego ... The guy has literally every champion kit within him. BRUH
This is a good and fun video, however I have a few issues I want to point out constructively.
Your example of Akshan’s passive being busted is Senna due to her passive. I don’t think it makes sense to say that she would get both passives, so she wouldn’t take souls anymore, and would lose that entire passive to get Akshan’s.
The same goes for Yone’s E Soul Unbound, the example you gave is Jax jumping in and stunning you, but Jax’s stun is his E. This would be swapped out for Soul Unbound and he wouldn’t be able to stun anymore.
I just want to point these out because I think the point is still valid in that it gets the idea across, but there are definitely better examples that would be more logical in the what if scenario of swapping abilities around. Maybe my point is weaker on non-passive skills because who cares what button they are on, but still.
Smolder currently has over 70% Presence in Emerald+ SoloQ and it was nearly the same a few patches ago. Time for an episode of "Everything wrong with Smolder"
I feel like the old twisted fate E should be a contender for this considering its literally his ult but on a basic ability
Bro didn’t mention the strongest part of soul unbound. That ability can be used to buffer almost any cc
If you thought Veigo and Sylas were complex to design, imagive a champ that does not have his own abilities to start with but has to choose 4 abilities and a passive from the 5 enemy champion when game starts.
Tekken music? Didn't know you were a 3d fighting game player. big W
i still remember when pro team pick kayle in the top lane and kaisa in the bottom lane, kayle just ult kaisa and then kaisa fly into the back line and nuke everyone
Old Aatrox used to have Malphite ult on his Q
A telegraphed and slow and weaker version
@@victorpedrosoceolin3919 well it’s on a basic ability of course it wouldn’t be as strong as malphite’s which is an ultimate, that would just be ultra broken
Any shapeshifter R because instead of 4 abilities that can be swapped to whatever you want, you now have 6.
With how much vars unapologetically shits on yone, I'm convinced he was jumped by a gang of yone mains on his way home at night once
eve's passive can be gamebreaking. You get invisibility + warmogs. Imagine that on a champ like garen
what about warwick passive, I honestly don't think there s a single champion in the game that wouldn't benefit from healing heath per auto while allso having built in on-hit effects
Mages.
btw the single strongest ability is no doubt kayle's passive, imagine a kai'sa with 975 range, bonus magic AOE damage on autos scaling with AP and AD, bonus attackspeed scaling with AP and 10% movement speed
God what i wouldn't do to replace xerath stun with wither
And yuumi W 2v2v2v2 full gamemode
Yuumi W is good but ignoring that you can't just hop off and then right back on multiple times is saying there's no negative. You can't hop on for 5sec after being CCd, and goes on I think 10sec cool down if you hop off, on, and off again
Pyke ult where?
Requiem. A karthus with 4 items casting a global undodgeable ability affecting every enemy. Weak early, godtier late.
Now that you mentioned Akshans Dirty fighting, what about Vayne’s True Silver bolt damage? Give that to fast attacking champions and the damage bar would all be grey XD
Garen with Bleed stacks?
i would get ezreal's Q there, a spamable skill that lowers the cooldown of every other skill you have ? imagine if ryze had it
Love the tekken 8 music you added :)
I would murder to have seraphine passive on ziggs. That shit would be so broken
For stage pressence, I think its not as good because a lot of champions are passive based so the example of velkoz getting his destruction easier, not really because he loses destruction passive, sure, his w has a lot of good waveclear so losing it is bad but imagine having 2 qs on velkoz with a shadow... the bigbrain gameplay would be insane
Wither is a win take. I always say its basically a 5 second stun but a bit less severe
nasus W singlehandedly shuts down marksmen for 5 seconds with the attack speed slow. i'm surprised it's being slept on considering they nerfed fiora's attack speed reduction yet nasus is allowed to keep his
Well its because Nasus is.......Nasus
Fiora is an extremely strong champion in almost every team composition, and in any given time
Fiora was nerfed because it's a strong ability in an even stronger character, while Nasus...he needs to farm the entire game to have the same effect
Wither IS a strong ability that is severely nerfed by its own champion
I think Braum has one of the most OP passives in the entire game It could be an honourable mention for sure.
Sounds like Vars has been playing Tekken with this soundtrack
How strong would the combo of Stage Presence and Living Shadow be on a champion?...
Shaco's Q: its like a flash with invisibility added.
