I feel like the start of '200 years' was around Camille's release. Maybe Kled but that's a tougher sell. Kled's remount mechanic was borderline game-breaking but they also broke his kneecaps with his W triggering automatically and his dash not going over terrain so you had plenty of counter-play. Then Camille came along and had healing, 1000+ true damage on a single digit second cooldown, insane mobility, Jarvin ult but better, etc. She was probably the first true instance of a '200 years' champion that was so comically overloaded that anyone with a brain could point it out.
@TheDapperDragon
2 жыл бұрын
For Kled's passive to be any kind of useful, you still have to be good at whittling enemies down before you get dismounted, or learning to pick a shot to go in after they've used up their abilities so you don't get nuked. It takes a lot of skill and know-how to use Kled's passive effectively, rather than a more mobile Karthas passive.

I said this when she dropped (might even be able to find my comment on SkinSpotlights' video): If you remove the last part of her kit from each ability she sounds like a champion released from an older time. That would removed the XP part of her passive, the growth attached to crit chance on her Q, the transferring to Allies on her W, the q cast on her E, and the healing on her ult.
@TheDancerMacabre

True, but I wonder if people realize how busted older champs were. Zilean, Janna, and TF's passives applied to the entire team at all times. Taric's old kit was a point and click stun and Auras (the Armor Shred wasn't added until S4) meaning you could build a Runic Bulwark and give your team like 40 free Armor, 20 MR, and then Ult to give them a huge AD (or was it AP) boost. Not to mention old AP Yi (which was actually countered pretty easy with a Banshee's veil when it was built out of catalyst) What I kinda like about all these complex champs is that they have a lot of "dials" to tune them instead of them being insanely strong by being a stat stick or completely useless because there's no depth. But we can pull it back a bit. Maybe like the Samira/Aphelios days.

I understand the idea behind the whole exp/healing/shield thing. Really. It's abundantly clear they wanted to make up for the fact that Nilah, being melee, should in theory get harassed off the wave very easily by carries with mid/high range. Except they also gave her two dashes. And Jax E. Why. Why does she get both at the same time? Get rid of the W and she is so much better to play against. Why did they give her mobility and dodge in the lane where most champs are using AA?

The reason why they gave her so much passive is because 1. She's melee adc, so if she doesnt have all these stuff then it's better to pick traditional adc instead. Otherwise she gets shit on in lane without her range on Q and W protect. Even though her mobility skill can be used 2 times, its range is abysmal and it's a worse Samira dash. 2. She needs to be able to compete against Yasuo/Yone as a crit melee alternative. The brothers have innate x2 crit chance which let's them reach their powerspike after 2 items. Nilah still only has 40%crit after 2 items so obviously all these 200years passives needs to be there to make up for it. 3. All her numbers are heavily nerfed a couple of times. She needs to reach 2/3 items before her damage is significant again. I would say she's still strong now but not 200years broken like Zeri at the moment.

That's a lot to pour into a champ that only has a 1.4% presence in proplay.

IMO, It seems like the designers were making an support but then last second, she got turned into an ADC. I mean, Healing and shielding buffs for herself and her ally, an xp buff (Which the only 2 characters who have xp buffs are both supports, being Zilean passive and Bard chimes) a movespeed dodge which can be gifted to allies, and an ultimate that has a shit ton of healing/shielding thats then again buffed. The only reason she shouldn't be play as a support is her Q, which scales with crit so hard, it makes Charles F. Richter look like a novice. if riot elongated her q, got rid of her crit passives and replaced them with support passives, she would be a fun high mobility support, kinda like Rakan.

Riot just does things to get reactions at his point tbh lol. its actually kind of BAD if a champion isn't considered ridiculous at launch. They normally arent played/are forgotten immediately. (rell,neeko,vex) > not 'bad' champs. But rarely seen or picked over other options cause they don't offer much 'new' or 'wow' factor. Whether this is a good design philosophy to design your game on is subjective so idunno. Leagues been one of the most popular games in the world for years now so I guess they're doing something right.

I have been playing since season 1 and there have been very few releases since then where the majority of opinions weren't "omg this new champion will be broken, what is Riot thinking, delete it before it even comes out". The only new thing is the "200 years" meme, and Riot growing a bit desperate to make their champions stand out, but the response hasn't changed much.

Don't forget, her Star Guardian in the lore is literally a DBZ goddess with her own planet island, being sent to train the noobs, and how perfect she is that Ashlesh could destroy her at any moment except she's always Mary Sue joyful. They're not even trying to hide agendas anymore, be it "we hear you but we don't think our champs are overloaded on the whole" to "200 years" to "girl boss power" to anything. Additional fun fact, she was released with the SG skin (for those in the future). So in canon she's a perfect OP smiling face and oh how tragic has to always feel joy and it's wearing her down from all the joy, to Beerus in a sailor scout outfit making Ekko play video games. That's who she is until her next skin comes out, which is almost as egregious as Seraphine releasing with an ultimate skin.

6:08 I call those champs "cool shit" champs, because you see all of them have some sort of crazy ability that does 50 things because someone at riot thought "that's some cool shit", but the problem is, when they then get an idea for another cool shit ability they implement it too on top of that. Can't let the cool neat idea for an ability go to waste, right? Then you get champs with sustainability and survivability that do crazy damage have huge range and are also mobile and probably get shields too.

i feel like a genuine problem league is starting to run into is that while the champions are getting stronger many other core things about the game is changing. some people may think that the champions are the only real things that matter but things like the distance between lanes and stuff does play a major part in the balance of the game. as the champions get stronger and can move better power creep becomes an issue, but i feel like the champion strength can start to overflow, and as soon as champions truly outdo the maps and levels the game is taking place on, and if the actual battleground cant appropriately match the champions then i think it becomes detrimental to the game and how it feels to actually play the core gameplay loop. whether or not you believe league reached this point a long time ago or if its still a mile from this stage is very much up to interpretation, but I think the gameplay has begun to suffer (it has certainly changed) because of this

Back when I played, if you didn't have grievous wounds Mundo and Sona would just win the game by the sheer power of their healing. If you did have it though (and it was only 1 or 2 items across the whole team) they would become significantly weaker by Mundo just not being able to do anything and Sona just becoming a ult bot. TBH I'm a little biased because those were my chosen top and support at the time, but I understand that there needs to be a way so that healing isn't overbearing. They already tried that by gutting support healing by making them mostly shields.

The similarities between her and Samira seem very intentional, and at a glance her base kit seems very fitting for a melee ADC; You are gonna take a lot of poke, so sharing heals and shields makes sense. You need some way to poke or grab minions from afar, so a ranged skillshot makes sense. A dash to close the gap and a defensive ability all help a melee ADC too. The two main problems with Nilah, for me, are: - Too many bells and whistles - Samira already fills this niche Nilah's problems stem from each ability granting way too much utility and stats for simply existing. Like a lot of champions, half her kit could be removed and it'd be fine. The fact she plays similar to Samira is also problematic, because now you sacrifice a ranged neutral game for a melee one in a ranged lane, making Nilah more polarizing. Samira can farm safely in a bad matchup; Nilah cannot. To combat this, Riot needed to make her crazy strong in order to not fall behind hard. Her abilities and such are fine, but as you said, she's only a good addition if you forget about Samira. Bel' Veth was pretty dissapointing, and Nilah feels like a modded champion. At least Udyr's rework proves that Riot still has some really smart people working behind the scenes.

Also, the answer might be that you are a Twitch main. For example, you wouldn't ask why Nasus is losing to Darius. It doesn't mean Darius is broken, you're picking up a bad matchup. Nilah is heavily countered by engage champion, and I don't even think Twitch have a hard time dealing with her in lane. Keep in mind ADC aren't the only possibility bot.

Or you ban Naut because the enemy ADC chose Samira, but then you have to contend with say a Thresh, Blitz or Pyke support pick. it's getting a little rediculous now. :-/

Technically, she is over loaded......like absurdly over loaded. However, every match i have played in or watched she ends up getting stomped. She is forced to build crit to fully take advantage of her kit as everything that scales off of crit starts at 0% and slowly goes up. She can get busted down REALLY fast. Don't get me wrong in the right hands she is a monster, but so are many other champs with less than half the things she does. So overturned, not really, overloaded OH FUCKING HELL YEAH. What you are talking about here with exasperation is overloaded with SOME high scaling, but her numbers and area cannot deal with many champs since her whole design is to fight ADC. Bruisers mess her day up because she is so damned squishie to be able to use her whole kit. She was designed with a high skill floor and ceiling in mind.... Don't get me wrong fuck her to high heaven with some of the dumb shit that is just shoved in her kit just because like the exp thing. Half of her kit could disappear and she would still have more crap she does than any other champ on the roster.

@@narutoedw1n Not disagreeing with that, but she is a hyper focused build path. If you deviate at all she lose some of her built in power. Meaning she almost is one dimensional build which goes against the grain of all item concept since the new item metric. She is a balance nightmare and overloaded. She is not, however, overtuned. The reason is she gets dunked on in low ego play BECAUSE of her high skill floor and ceiling. Her numbers over all a weak, and they have to be because she has so many things in her kit. She is a squishie Jax, and I said that in the beginning with my friends and other comments on other videos pre release. I saw the Samira stuff and more. She is problem champ with cool lore. Unlike seraphine who was hated for her introduction via social media and lackluster lore, but ok kit (that actually is closer to neeko and karma than sona contrary to what people insisted for so long). So don't get me wrong, I hate her but not because she is over powered (except on launch day holy shit that was a nightmare for a little bit) she is just stupidly overloaded. She has a little of everything and what Skooch is saying is correct, minus the wrong term her. Vars made a good distinction between what overloaded and overtuned are. Overtuned is about numbers being too high, but overtuned can be fixed because it is just number adjustments. Overloaded is how many features a champ has. Take for instance Bel' Veth, a champ I actually love to play but agree her ult is overloaded and still many of her numbers are overtuned. Overall Bel'Veth is an overtuned champ, but not overloaded. Each ability (besides her ult Jesus christ the text in it) is relatively simple in nature. So yeah, Nilah is gonna need to get many features removed than an slight increase in some of the numbers to compensate. What and where, fuck if I know I am just a dumb commenter on KZitem that has played LoL since 2011 (or whenever wrong came out), not some dev who actually does any work on the game.

I just think they need to slow down champ releases. They think that's what keeps people coming back to the game, but I think it hurts the health of the game overall. I think people come back to the game more so for social and competitive aspects than purely new content. Furthermore, if they went to 2-3 cha ps a year they'd have an easier time making a big deal out of each release, making it a real and special feeling event. And it would be easier to find ways to make champs feel unique without overloading them, because they'd simply have more time to toy around with design. Overloading as in complicated kira that can do everything, different from overtuned.
