Not OP imo. Good initiation team can break through a poke comp. With Mundo you just have to burst him down / use % dmg like BorK, Elise, Kogmaw etcBrokenArrow wrote:
The only champions I consider op in their current state are Nidalee and Mundo, everything else doesn't seem ban-worthy to me. I usually ban Gragas along with them because I just dislike laning against him

Anyhow, how many stacks on Nasus' Siphoning Strike should I aim for at 20 minutes. Playing top.
Gotta hate it when the Nunu ganks once, and gets killed by the ignite I accidentally used on him then goes AFK.
Because one boot and AP Annie is too mainstream.Justykanna wrote:

Every single one of those champions is (was) counterable (Riven to a lesser extent). Problem is their counters got nerfed to the point it doesn't matter anymore.PsychoSkill wrote:

lol, u must be Challenger.
imo, there are to many strong champs that deserve a ban
(Did u never see a fed Riven? -.-)
shyvana, annie, nasus, kassa ....
Me neither. Her, Dr. Mundo and Nasus keep getting banned in my games because... well... they don't die. But they don't really carry games either. =sTKiller wrote:
Don't really understand why people ban Shyvanna so much.
Which sucks because my favourite top laner is Gangplank so killing them becomes...not fun. D=TKiller wrote:
most of top lanes are now a tank slapping festival
Well, i've won toplane with Sona on that level. Amazing when your mundo goes support without telling before you pick.TKiller wrote:
Beaten 3 Rivens with Amumu top not too long ago.
Me = chinese electric batman, platinum top laners = bad.
Well, jokes and such, most of top lanes are now a tank slapping festival with not that much of a field to display skill. And I pick something corresponding most of the time. Though I highly prefer Zac to other picks.
My Akali has beaten every fed Riven so far and Kassadin never gets picked because the enemy team ends up banning him anyways. And in case they don't, I still have my Talon and fuck him up so hard that he won't be able to transfer into midgame at all.PsychoSkill wrote:

Tell me how she can be useful when her dmg is not enough to even finish off the ADC and she dies instantly in teamfights? Inb4 a fed riven wrecked your team once and from now on you joined the opwhine trainVulf wrote:
Saying Riven needs to do well in lane to be useful....

E nerf on PBE is probably all she needs imo. Q nerf was so minimal I wouldn''t even call that a nerf.

Btw, teamfighting with Akali in lower elo is actually quite simple, just get a Q mark on one of their carries, then jump in into a 1v5 and oneshot him because he doesn't expect it. Instantly go into shroud while waiting for your cooldowns, let your team follow up, oneshot their next carry and it's already won. Problem is that I don't always find ways to engage into the fight because carries tend to not get in range of my Q. :/
But I'd say Akali is the perfect noobstomper, in Season 4 I will hopefully have the chance to play against higher elo people with her too.
And I totally agree with you, there are some champs that at least, you need to have a bit of mechanics to pull of big plays, like... zed for example, I think it's very easy to shut down a bad zed, and a good zed can really fuck up your plans. With most OP champs I meant champs like... oh, Im getting focused, Im about to die, np I use Q+E+R on me and I do triple.PsychoSkill wrote:
We don't talk about individuall skill when u speak about Strong/Op- Champs
Hmm yes I agree with the E duration nerf. Being able to pull off a permashield at max cdr is really annoying for the enemy. Besides that, I don't think she's OP tooVulf wrote:
First of all where did I say she was OP in that post? There is a difference between feeding in lane, going even, and winning matchups. Riven does not need to snowball to be useful which is pretty much what you said, and she has the tools to be able to comeback if she does end up losing her lane.
Edit: If you have actually been paying attention to my post you'd know I am against a lot of nerfs Riot has been giving out lately. The only reason I agree with her E nerf is that it makes it more consistent with the whole doing damage while being tanky/free stats riot seems to hate so much.

Good AD/lifesteal laners destroy Sunfire rush builds. With probably an exception of Mundo.Vulf wrote:
You can pretty much rush a sunfire and win top lane because the 40 damage per second aura is stupidly strong early game and makes it impossible for your lane opponent to trade with you. That's why it's getting nerfed.
Spirit visage should have never been buffed. It was a niche item for some healers but nope Riot had to make it good on every bruiser and tank because not getting full benefit from the passive is toxic and antifun.

If you don't build xin tanky, he's going to die in less than a second and not contribute anything.
Xin's a bad assassin because he's very all-in. Good assassins generally have a disengage.
I generally go Hunter's Machete, Mobility Boots, (maybe upgrade the Machete), Blade of the Ruined, then two of Omen/Sunfire/Spirit V/Maw of Mal and go from there (depending on the enemy team, of course).SiFly wrote:
Main problem is Xin E has a very low range, so you can't jump that easily in and out. Besides that his base damage + 1 damage item make him enough of an assasin that can one shot squishies with a rotation. You can just go full tank afterwards.
I've tried it several times in normal and it's absolutely hilarious. =DTKiller wrote:

It's nothing like the North American/European D1 scene. When I see streams they are all troll-ish and friendly, but here they insult each other because they belong to another competitive team and do stupid stuff. Oh god.

Low D1 to be specific though.
