    A suggestion of a spinoff: Why everyone SHOULD play (CHAMPION). Explaining why some underrated champions deserve a chance to be on a pick pool.
    Edit: changed the naming after a suggestion on responses, thanks!

      I think he does explain a portion of that with his Why Noone Plays. In certain videos like the one for Taliyah, he specifies all the strong aspects of her throughout the video, which I can validate because I main her. But I think some things can still be said about certain characters...

Playing Viego and you possess an Azir? Why, the Viego who mastered Azir just got a pentakill! While the one who didn't is simply spamming R and only getting a double kill.

    They should make Viego deal the killing blow in order for him to get the soul and all the 200 years bs that comes from it. It's not an incredibly difficult task given his ult is an execution. Giving him free heals and untargetability just for the lulz is bonkers. That way players would actually have to think and save their ults instead of diving head first waiting for their teammates to finish the job. If they want to close the gap with ult, then it's gonna be a little harder to deal the killing blow because someone on your team might accidentally kill the enemy. It feels more interactive that way imo. Right now it's a total mess.

    I wish he was *actually* high risk high reward but these days he just builds bruiser items which removes half the risk in playing him; that being how he's supposedly a squishy assassin but as we can see he doesn't really live up to that. All he has to do is do enough damage with an ally or two to get one reset and the fight is pretty much over.

    I don’t agree that junglers have the worst game knowledge. I believe it’s the other way around. Playing a laning role only makes you focus on farming and lane management, whereas junglers have to know when to take objectives effectively, and on top of that know where to go and when. It definitely requires a lot of knowledge of how the game works to manage all this seamlessly. And I’m even saying this as a top laner , who is least appreciative of their junglers 😅

    I think his concept is better than the execution. The ability to transform into other champions is cool but giving him untargetability in-between transformation is very obnoxious to deal with in teamfights.
    What I would have done instead is to give him a channel, but not the untargetability. That way chances are he isn't getting a reset in a teamfight. What he gets in return is keeping his possession for much longer.
    Say you gank top to kill a Camille, then use Camille's kit to gank mid right after. Maybe you kill the enemy Rek'sai (yeah, killing Rek'sai early game is unlikely at best, but its just an example) and then pulls a gank or two with Rek'sai's kit. That way he feels more like an actual jungler that focus on playmaking and less like a "ungabunga me reset me pentakill" 200 years bs.

    Viego is the exact opossite of Yi (for example). Yi has Q and W to get him self a kill first so he can reset after and it all over. Kata is the same her base kit is really good for killing people. Viego is different. He has low mobility compaired to champs like him and has no means other than his R to dodge CC. His only CC is really slow to cast and predictable.
    Viego's whole idea is he need one enemy to die in order to take over. If he gets focused down (somethis far easyer to do than focusing down a Yi or Kata that can become untargetable or blink all over) he then becomes very simple to counter

    I find his concept super cool, but his kit is just absolutely ridiculously overloaded with stuff.

As for his passive, the reset on his ult sort of needs to go away, at least large parts of it. I wouldn't mind if they gave him an "optional" ult that's the same, but doesn't do damage or CC, sort of just a teleport ability as a gapcloser, or something similar to that.

    I hate Viego not because he is overpowered or because of how oppresive it feels to play against him. I hate him because he has the coolest ability concept in his passive but he's not build around it. 90% of the time the most impact his passive has is healing him and reseting his ult since just gap closing with ult and hitting the enemy as Viego will result in much more mileage than actually playing the other champs. I fucking love the concept of stealing enemies abilities/ults/stats/whatever and beating them to death with it but Viego feels like he has that just so League would have a champ who can do that, not 'cus it completes his kit or fits his in-game theme. Maybe I'm just salty that I can't seem to find a main and play almost every character and Viego would solve that, but everytime I see a Viego I feel dissapointed at what he could've been.
