  • Among the countless number of abilities in League of Legends, there's a small subset of them that are known to not be as tangibly quantifiable in terms of impact. Today we'll be discussing Infinite Value Abilities, and how they're simultaneously the most powerful and potentially useless abilities in the game.

    One of my most memorable moments of league ranked was when the enemy team had just taken Elder + Baron, and were pushing into our base. I landed a 5-man Renata ultimate, which led to the enemy team getting aced and my team ending the game. Really fun ability at times, though it's borderline overpowered lategame because both CC in general, and the damage effect, become more lethal.

    Fun fact:
    Through standard builds and the Ultimate Hunter rune, it's entirely possible to get Zilean's ult CD down to 21.25 seconds in a game that runs around 25 minutes or longer. This means you could use your ult multiple times in a prolonged team fight or firefight over objectives.

    I do love these abilities. And they are on some of my favourite champions: Bard, Taric, Renata.
    Though, I think they'd more often than not best be reserved for supports, because that helps ensure that they still need more teamwork to use them to their full effect.

      @@fcomolineiro7596 No, his revive is complete bullshit. League teamfights is predicated around the simple fact that killing an enemy means removing them from the fight, and if you won it then that opens up opportunities to objectives. The extremely few abilities that circumvent that (Renata's W and Zileans's R) both have long CDs, have some conditions attached to it, only lasts for 5 seconds (which opens up windows of opportunities), and only affects one person. Akshan's W is the complete opposite. It has no CD, is a fucking passive, its only condition is laughably easy to accomplish in a teamfight, and it can potentially revive 4 people. You can already see why it's broken.
      Akshan as a whole has a completely ridiculous kit to be honest. His passive alone is like a champion's kit, he has a reset on his E that also deals a ton of damage and procs his passive, has permanent camouflage that regenerates mana, and an execute on his ult.

    Kindred's ult is probably my favorite part of their kit. Don't get me wrong, they're one of my favorite champions in the game for design, lore, and everything else, but their ult is so unique and satisfying to use, it really sets them apart. If Kindred's ult was just "Lamb fires a big fucking arrow" or "Wolf takes a bite out of someone's ass, dealing %HP damage," they'd still be fun and honestly might even be a better champion, but they'd feel a lot less interesting. Their ult is what really defines them, in my opinion. Though it really sucks when your teammate leaves the circle and gets murdered because they have no idea what it does.

    Max CDR mid Zilean with a duo jungler or juggernaut toplane is the most fun you can have in the game I must say. Either you create a auto winning jungler, an unstoppable bruiser/jugger OR you just follow around an enemy tank and slow them by 99% for all infinity.

    I think it’s also cool to point out some abilities are “more infinite” than others. Jax e for example has infinite use cases when blocking autos, but Kindred ult has infinite use cases when dealing with 10 people, minions, dragon/baron, etc. therefore in a way it’s a larger infinity. It’s cool to think about what is the largest infinite scaling ability, both positively and negatively

    Shen spirit refuge, basically an AOE Jax E that is able to stop all allies inside of it from being attacked by enemies. Useless vs ability users but against auto attackers, I’m pretty sure that ability has broken a few keyboards and mouse’s in its time. Same with his ult, being able to spontaneously shield an ally and then teleport yourself to them is insane, can’t tell how many times I’ve seen some champion be 100% dead only for one button press from shen turn an enemy triple kill into an ally triple kill.

    I'd call this video The Time Abilities. Every infinite value ability buys time in some way or another. You can cast a spell and deal damage or buff an ally, but very few abilities can be cast for the purpose of guaranteed time. As a Kindred main the ult is most valuable because it gives you time to deal damage onto a burst assassin, block critical abilities from an enemy, or wait for the team to show up. Not to mention most kits make these abilities more effective. Kindred E combos very well with R, Tarics stun combos with his ult, etc.

Abilities like Yorick W, Mordekaiser R, Camille R, Jarvan R, Irelia R.

    As a Bard main,you covered some of the options about R. The potentional still stands even with jungling[objectives] what is very important part also in the game. To play bard you need to be extra perfect with timings on R and other skills. Timing is the main gameplay of this champion i would say, with perfect timing you can either catch 2 player by a stun or 1 by the wall stun. Also i would say Bards E is a game changer. The problem is that most people don't really know what Bard is capable of.

  • @ezraho8449
    @ezraho8449 Рік тому

    Another thought worth adding to the discussion is the fact that certain stats effectively get infinite value or at least exponential value based on how they are used. Auto Attack range and Movement Speed specifically have value proportional to the skill of the person piloting the character. If singed uses his 1000 movement speed to avoid every single ability cast in his direction it doesn’t matter how much damage they do. If Caitlyn kills your entire team from outside their range it doesn’t matter how much damage you do since you have no way to retaliate. It’s why ADCs are broken in pro play and are perennially bad in casual play (or they were until recently they got crazy item buffs). Auto range and movement speed have effective soft infinite value as stats because they can negate interactions if you can utilize it to maximum effect.

    I think azir ult should also be considered infinite value, the ability to move the entire enemy team and create a terrain block for the rest of the fight is ridiculous especially when considered in tandem with the rest of his kit, it can potentially force an entire enemy team to use their flash, mobility etc. just to be able to participate in a fight or objective such as in baron pit. It can separate the adc from the rest of the team, it can "trap" a fed enemy under turret, it can prevent the font line from front lining.

    I don’t really like the term “infinite value” since any individual use of an ability gives you finite value. Infinity is always more that a finite number, but these abilities aren’t strictly better than other abilities. I think something like “unlimited value” or “non-numerical value” would be a better way to refer to them.

      Yi's Q has changed over the years and nowadays it is not what it was in season 1 and 2 which offered near perfect invulnerability (cancelled CCs iirc, like if you were hit with a stun but you cast Q, it got cleansed), but DOTs still work. So not really an ifninite value one, but Shaco's R is, because of the 0.3 or smth sec of perfect invlunerability (you literally stop existing for that duration, best way of putting it), plus the fact that it is more spammable since you tend to get CD, late game you can get 2 Rs off in a TF, offering you something no other champ in the game can and never will, subject to skill and timing of course.

    There should be a junglers who can take over jungle creeps with a long passive (ie corki package cooldowns). Have them send it down the closest lane with like double move speed or something.
    This would be awesome for split pushing or forcing teams into a bad spot, stop the split pushing monster or fight over an objective.

    some problems with the "infinity" in "infinite value"
    chronoshift - it gives time, time has value, the value of stasis after death is same as value of a stopwatch, the value of resurrect is the same as GA, and if it modifies the enemy behaviour, like not attacking your kaisa, then it still has only as much value as what your kaisa can do in this time, which is not infinite.
    All the "block" abilities, that is windwall, counterstrike, black shield - their value is only as much as they stop enemies from dealing, which is not infinite, no infinite damage / cc as you said. A windwall either blocks the MF ult -> it has the same value as a shield with a finite amount of hitpoints would have to block it, or it does not -> it has the value of a few seconds of MF damage mitigated.
    Hostile takeover - only as much value as damage the enemies deal aka finite.
    How to find a value of those abilities? Ask a question of "can another, finite value, ability do this?" If yes, then this is not infinite value. Windwall cannot ever counter more than 3.75 * enemy max dps damage, with no infinite damage abilities in the game, this is not infinite. It can be high, but not infinite. Infinite scaling possibly, but not infinite. And no, the "but they dont do stuff" then argument does not work, as a theoretical cc of "enemy can move but not attack" has less value than "enemy is stunned", and Aoe stuns / knockups are not infinite value (and if they are, then a strong argument can be made that alistar has 2 "infinite value" abilities - an Aoe knockup, and a 7s 75% damage reduction. And the "but the enemy has to walk through the windwall" argument for infinite value does not work, because it either is not a bad play - low value, or its enemies making a mistake - not inert to this ability (unless this specific ability makes enemies lose IQ, but I doubt that).
    They are not "infinite" value abilities, they are "undefined" value abilities. They don't have a numerical value assigned (as has nasus q) pre cast, but after cast you can easily hop into replay tool and see how much damage a windwall blocked, how much damage (theoretical or not) chronoshift mitigated, how much damage hostile takeover dealt... And if "but it forced the enemy to move, this can't be assigned a value" is an argument, then kennen standing in a place also has infinite value - it also makes people not go there, or walk the other way or face consequences.

    I used to play a lot of support. I had one particular game as Bard wherein my ADC was being chased by an assassin. I threw a semiglobal Tempered Fate at them such that it would hit the assassin and not my ADC. My ADC then turned and walked back into the Tempered Fate, and then said to report me for trolling because he was dumb enough to walk into an ability that would have otherwise given him 2.5 seconds to either set up a counterattack or to escape. I'm pretty sure that it was a Caitlyn ADC, so she would have been able to setup a trap+ net burst combo that probably would've been enough to kill the assassin or she would have guaranteed been able to escape if she just kept moving the same direction instead of turning around to auto.

  • @loldoctor
    @loldoctor Рік тому

    I would define value as the benefits returned from an investment of resources relative to the cost of the resources invested. In that regard, to me the most valuable abilities would be those that decrease of nullify your opponents' ability to benefit from their investments and/or those that deny or prevent the opponents' ability to gain resources. Vision, for example, is an extremely important investment of resources--I don't just mean the cost of a control ward, but also the decision to ward one bush comes at the cost of not warding another bush, and moving around the map to get vision means losing experience or gold, letting the enemy get a better position on the wave, maybe a support leaving lane allows the opponent to chunk your adc, etc etc.. The same is true of denying vision as well. So I would give a lot of value to abilities that eliminate the return on this investment, such as Nocture's ult or, conversely, TF's ult. Obviously abilities that deny kills are going to be important, but kills aren't all valued equally. In fact, teams can invest too much for a kill if it allows the enemy team to benefit to a greater extent elsewhere.
    Based on that, I would say the most valuable skill is probably Bard's R. It can completely change a play, deny an objective, protect a tower, save a teammate, freeze an enemy front line to provide access to a carry or freeze a carry to allow for repositioning. It's essentially both a defense and offensive, ranged Zhonya's--which is the most broken item in the game by far. Of course, every ability is context-dependent, and Bard's ult is no different. However, I would argue that because Bard's ult can be used in so many different ways (and can even affect structures), it's both incredibly powerful and incredibly versatile to an extent that other powerful abilities aren't.

    I think garen's ultimate can be considered a damaging infinite value ability, as it does damage but the damage is fixed no matter how fed or behind you are, and no matter the stats.
    You can have any champion with a decillion armor and hp, if they're at 25% hp, even a no item lv6 garen will finish them off. Inversely, if you ult a full life target, the ability can barely deal more than an autoattack.
    But even though it fits the description, it isn't a "game changer if used right" ability like the others, as you need to have already dealt significant damage to the target beforehead, so maybe it can be considered to have value capped by how much your team can damage the enemy to begin with, but it's also the case with the other abilities (buying time is useless if you can't bring the opponent to low hp either), so i'm not that sure about it
    In a sense, crowd control is also kinda infinite value when I think about it. Being invincible and stunning the enemy team is more or less the same, and stunning an opponent at the wrong time can have litteraly no effect, it really depends how permissive you are with the definition

    As a person who main kalista ( as well as akali but that's besides the point ), i would like to argue part of the reason kalista has been hard to balance is not only bc half her kit is reliant on another, but after watching the video, one can potentially say that the same half is infinite value. When looking at her W, she gets a clear 12% dmg on her auto attacks/her q, but its value comes from the person attached to you having to auto the same person, which forces them to play for that person and auto attack, which causes champs like yummi that don't weave autos to feel useless to her. On top of this her R is a literally zhonyas and malph ult, but without the dmg, and it causes the kalista and attached person to have to play different than normal, also causing the enemy team to react to it. Both abilities have more or less set values that only differentiate throughout level, but other than that, it doesn't matter whether you have items or not, it only matters that your attached player follows up with you, and can be used in a lot of good and bad way. One way I've seen be used in a bad way was when my support has complained to me multiple times that I ulted them just as they were about to use one of their important abilities coming off cooldown that could have turned it around; but instead by ulting, I got both of the players killed. I think its interesting that the character like this exists, because both the w and r what makes it so dependent on the other player, along with the coordination one has with them. It causes both abilities to have near to no value to some of the most if used correctly, and that's without the mention of the w giving vision for 5 gold, where you could either be giving a free gold advantage over time, or getting a lot of info for your team.
