The league of legends community is so quick to say that the new champion is always the most broken. They always top the win rate charts, and are the best champions on a league of legends tier list. Every new rework is more overpowered than the last... but what if we looked at an older champion? Are there any old champions that are overpowered? Surprisingly, yes. This is a season 12 League of Legends documentary-style video.

Where is the Akshan Wiki link you stated in the video?
And the link to the MagikarpUsedFly video u used? o.o
I remember all the way back in pre-release and Season 1 when Doublelift was considered the Blitzcrank God. Good times.
Man, that's a LONG time ago
And you're still here?
Man, how old are u?
@@k1rinnn167 I turned 30 a couple weeks ago lmao. I'm pretty much a senior citizen at this point.

I think it's because Blitzcrank does the one job that is the most vital to any moba - poor positioning. If you misposition in any moba, you're pretty screwed. Blitzcrank capitalizes on this one root MOBA aspect, and so he will always remain relevant imo. This is why a 10/0 Blitz will serve the same impact as a 0/10 Blitz assuming you're landing your skillshots.
There's other hook Champs in the game that can do this. Blitz is unique in that he punishes micro mistakes and still applies pressure even in a neutral lane state at the start of the game
that's exactly why Blitz was absolutely useless during the time when pro-play was just split-pushing, macro play, never fighting, and ending a 55 minute game with 2-3 kills.
@@SomeGuyXD65 yeah but no other champ hooks as well as blitz, longest range + pulls to you + cool chain cc
I feel like Nautilus does Blitzcrank's job better
@@fabexgaming2238 not really, because the nautilus hook also puts nautilus in a compromised position. Blitz can hook, then knock-up, then silence, without moving a single pixel and just stay safe. Nautilus has better mobility overall and his ult is a guaranteed point-and-click stun, which is also great, but it comes with a delay, so the other person can react, before it hits. Nautilus is great and overall probably a little better than blitz, but just the pure safety of the hook+cc+silence without moving is incredible. Nautilus can't do that as well as blitz.
As I've seen in many games before, many smurfs can lock in a Blitzcrank and just roll bot lane in just a few minutes, then snowball his team all the way to victory
He can really tilt people as well, which people forget is a viable strategy to climb. AKA the shaco effect
@@Exil22 Reason why I became a singed main is to just tilt the enemy as they slowly die while chasing me.
Bruh man really is everywhere
This man plays league?
The best part of it is that even if we on the bot lane can avoid the blitz, our other 3 mates are willing to give him a handshake after he walked by 3 wards.
An extra fact:
Zilean achieved his 1st Pentakill on a competitive stage today in the European Masters.
Don't remember which teams were playing* but the player is called HawHaw.
What? How? I've stolen a lot of kills with his mere autoattacks but most i ever got is a triple kill.
@@zhejinanimde3095 It was with elder drake so bombs were able to finish off low health enemies
@@zhejinanimde3095 He put the bombs on Hecarim and he dived into the team
IMO, Blitzcrank is the most honest champ in the game. One ability, the rest depend on it. Hit a hook, you win, so just be better than the enemy.
He is a true one trick pony champion. He only has 1 trick, but it's pretty freaking good.
@@Exil22A bit too good imo
Actually, I think that his e and the fact that his ulti has such a short cd and destroys shields are way more useful than just landing a q
I'd argue Orianna is more honest, basically a zero bullshit champ at any stage in the game. No overwhelming strengths, and her ultimate is reliant on good awareness and punishes the lack of it. If she wins an interaction it's either because you played poorly or because she played better, no ifs or buts.
meethepie i hate orianna, her range is crazy and her powerspike is so early. Such an annoying champ to lane against lmao
Exil:" But none of those bruisers have your ultimate."
Sylas:" Hold my chains"
Good one🤣
Sylas really is the counter to a lot of these old-but relevant champions. TF, Malphite, Zilean, Tryndamere all get their core ability copied by Sylas. And he has e cc along with everfrost as well!
@@Amaling And to the newer ones as well. Sylas is a better Pyke and a better Neeko for example.
Basically if a champ has a large part of their power budget in their ult yes sylas will be good
Veigo:bonjour
Blitz 1 trick here:
The core gameplay that makes up his champion might be really simple, land hook and CC, but the devs have actually done a really good job at keeping him relevant in small ways. Surprised you didn’t mention his hook range buff on top of the damage buff. Really made his hook better against champions with dashes or other mobility options because it can hit them even if they try to dodge it. His ult silence is so good for counter play against champions with good mobility or spell shields because it allows you to set up a hook in the .5 second interval where they can’t cast an ability. Drastically changes matchups post level 6. And this is all without talking about how they made his ult kill shields, makes a Blitz pick insanely good into champs like Lulu, Tahm, Sett, destroys shield bow and stone plate, etc.. he might not have had any drastic changes to his kit since his release, but damn have the devs given him those few crucial buffs to keep him relevant.
mmm yes screw over dashless champs by making skillshots faster so they can only dodge by flashing just to (maybe) hit dash champs more often instead of removing one of 12 dashes from new champs.
It’s crazy how a once upon a time self proclaimed riven one trick. Has become one of the best researched, most informative and overall enjoyable league content creators in the games history.
You always slay man. Keep it up. And thanks for the content
TL:DR damage is so high and everything is so overtuned that if he hooks you 1 time at 25 min you instantly die and lose the game.
Honestly, you nailed it
Omg, seeing Magikarpusedfly talk about League gave me a rush of nostalgia
kind of surprised you didnt bring up corki for the old champs that have been super effective recently. hes just as old as the others and while he only popped off recently, he was secret op since the item rework (i used a tank build that would still do the most damage and one shot people with package last season). Either way great video as always, its always good to get some league game design perspectives and history talked about.
Package was a massive change, that completely distorts Corki's ability to play the game. Essentially acting as a mini rework.
corki literally has %46 winrate lmao
@@user-we1ov5kq4f cause he had to get hard nerfed
@@eltipidemalaguero no he didn't get hard nerfed. also he had one of the lowest winrates before the nerf
when i saw Zeri's kit, i was like "hmm her ult movement speed having no cap might be dumb, they should put a 70% cap on it. her lethal tempo q range is a bit too long, and her massive 20% max health magic damage chunk might make it too difficult to build against her, but i don't think she is too game breaking. Zeri just needs some numbers tweaks."
and now we are on to numbers tweak 4287...
Oh we weren't ready for Zeri. She has officially reached a higher density of changes per patch than Aphelios, and it's STILL GOING ON !
I always ban blitzcrank in all my games. Him in my game makes me play like so safely and restrictively.
Haven't fully watched the video yet but i guess the rise of enchanters made blitz a prio ban. He also has the strongest hook among all champs; I can survive a thresh hook, nautilus hook, a pyke hook but never a blitz hook
His hook is definitely the strongest
underrated post. it's the same reason why i ban zed when i play mid, literally no other champion in the entire game can restrict my options like he can. is he overpowered? no not really, but if he's the only champion that can close some of the most consistent doors for me to translate a lead into a win, why even bother dealing with it in the first place? Blitz is kind of the same deal, i dont generally ban him because i find naut ulti far more restrictive, but any champ that can straight up remove your ability to play based off their existence and threat are ban worthy even if you can play against them just fine.
I like using Blitz when im against support mages 👍🤣
@@CoffeeKitty. Big issue with Zed and LeBlanc as well is that they have no bad lanes, despite the champs having weak base values(Zed at least). Its impossible to miss CS on these champs in most matchups, in the sense that you as their opponent can't stop them from scaling, likewise it is near impossible to kill them unless they missplay. They get to poke you for free like no other assassins can, Talon, Fizz, Ekko, Katarina and even Exodia(Qiyana) all have windows where they are open to taking damage when they try to deal damage.
LeBlanc adds another layer to this because she has probably the best gank setup of all midlaners because she can gapclose and cc you.
I feel like I never lose 1v1 to a LeBlanc early, but after recieving 3-4 ganks in the earlygame(while my jungler wouldn't even look mid because who wastes time ganking LB?), and me either dying, blowing my flash or being forced to not to play the lane for a while, then LeBlanc has her Sorc Shoes, Dark Seal and Lost Chapter before I get a relevant spike and the lane is just over for me.
I do feel like Zed has been overnerfed to the point where this champ isn't really a problem anymore, at least I can personally feel the nerfs when I play him and against him, compared to Talon and Qiyana, Zed is just much less powerfull.
If you have probems with Zed(more popular champ in common elo), wait till you get to a rank where people start figuring out how good LB is, you will never let this champ see the rift again.
@@Dingdong2730 malz is pretty bad for zed
That's what I've been saying this past season.
In the old days, a Morgana Q would lock you for 3 seconds. But a regular teamfight would last for 20+ seconds, and time to kill was pretty long, so it wouldn't be game breaking - just annoying.
Nowadays, a teamfight lasts for 5 seconds. If a Lux binds you, you're dead. An Irelia hits her E on you, you're dead. Even a Qiyana ice Q, which is a 0.25 second stun, can be the difference between life and death, so extremely CC-heavy champions are THRIVING with all the damage and oneshotting in the game.
We need more tenacity options and less damage in the game.
But Riot recently gutted lifesteal, killing sustain, and lowering time-to-kill even further. Lol
The problem isnt damage itself, its peopel hating to play tanks, the only tanks who are seeing playing are shen, the most reliable tank, and ornn, the most broken tank who can give himself and allies thousands of gold in stats parried with stupid cc and unexpected burst
i strongly believe all the problems in league stem from overloaded game design, litteraly every one
Lifesteal needed to be nerfed into the ground. It killed certain champions that relied on slow steady poke damage with how proliferate it was. Nerfing it made some of them that were borderline valuable again. Arguably it's still too high. League has a lot of problems on a meta level. Itemization has front loaded damage spiraling out of control which leaves some champions out in the cold. The proliferation of dash type abilities and items break the movement speed soft cap balance system allowing champions that are supposed to be balanced by being slow to straight up outrun champions that are supposed to be fast. And keep in mind with that one, movement speed is the single most OP stat in the game, it's always useful in all situations. So it being so out of whack messes with the entire game at it's most basic level. Everything has slowly power creeped out of control. By itself a change to lifesteal may seem bad, but if they follow it up with more global nerfs.. hopefully... they can start to bring things back under control. Hopefully. Please hopefully.
@@alekss223 dude, most tanks cant tank nowadays. there are so many anti-tank options that being "tanky" still gets you shredded in seconds. be best tanks tanks arent ons that can deal cc and be durable, their the ones that can deal a lot of damage and either be durable or deal cc.
heck, lethality poppy is still a thing and its still better than it has any right to be. AP Nunu and AP malphite wreck ARAM. heck ornn is a tank that deals a rather high amount of %hp magic damage, as well as the item upgrade buffs he gives his team.
and its not like sustain is going to help the situation since it was highly abused by everyone and got nerfed. Riot honestly need to do some form of Damage type rework, because there is too much % and hybrid damage going around, to the point where the best tanks are the ones that deal absurd amounts of damage.
@@JDReC100 thats what i was saying, the only tanks who can actually face tank (obv if no vayne/fiora/camille) are cho, sion and ornn cause their passive give them stupid amounts of stats
Where are you?
lets make this a top comment
@@zoltankorb8930 tru
I swear you planted something on me, because i always think about how you haven't uploaded in a bit, and then the next day you post a video. 4x in a row now...
It's my secret technique
10:14 man i miss matt making league vids, i understand why he stopped but I swear it held a special place in my heart when I was just starting out league, and still now.
Can’t stop the ol beep boop crank machine. A blitz in the bot lane is a menace, able to turn matches around with one ability. I still remember him from when I first started playing and he’s still the same funny robot.
It’s all fun and games until a blitz + draven bot lane steam rolls you in 15 minutes
Jax, Darius, Yi, Riven, Kat, Morgana, and the list goes on, pretty old champs and their kits/playstyles remain closely in line to what their original gameplay was that are considered pretty strong, more often than not it's old champions being actually strong and new champions just suffering from outrage and people sticking with old= better mentality, yeah some new releases are also pretty strong and some new mechanics are truly 200 years dumb but really it's mostly community exaggeration lol
Very true and exactly why I didn't like how this video opened.
Absolutely. I really don’t get where Exil is coming from in this video. Renata, for example, is exposed to be a terrible champ by pro play, and the only reason she is even good in soloq is because players just don’t understand what to do against her. Gwen is a new champion that was considered super overloaded and now she’s nothing in both soloq *and* pro play. Same goes for most new champions. The meta right now is literally just the arcane squad alongside some other ancient champions.
The video felt weird to watch. He stripped all context to why Trynd rose to pro-play, even saying he's been overlooked for years (when it is mainly lethal tempo changes) and threw in malphite that is mostly a trynd/graves counter.
As you also said, it removes Gwen/Lilia dominating pro play upon release, Zeri and Yuumi both still dominating pro play. People are upset about most of the new champions because their stats of usually overtuned on release and require a lot of drastic tuning before they feel good again, while old champions have already been tampered down. I feel almost everything about this video was a bit off the mark or purposely misleading to drive his point.
and thats why i play elise even if i joined the game this season
I wouldn't really call Darius, Katarina and Morgana old.
Darius got reworked in season 5
Katarina got reworked in season 6
Morgana got reworked in season 8
Exil, I love your videos, and they have even changed the way I approach competitive league. You are absolutely my favorite league content creator, not to bash the other guys, just to tell you how great you are :-)
man i love exil's videos they always just come at the exact right time
Anyone else tired of int sion and think riot needs to remove hull breaker
Hard agree brother
Managed to hit top 10 blitz oce in 2020. He was my boi when I first started playing in season 7 and has always been my "I'm not here to mess around" pick 😂
Out of my entire career playing league, blitz ult getting shield removal was the most hyped moment. Made versing enchanters, tahm kench and sett so much easier 👍
I was talking to some folks on Reddit about lissandra. I haven’t seen her picked or banned in literally any of my ranked games this season, and I’ve wondered if that’s because her rather simple kit gives her two options- all in or run far away, and in the high damage meta you mentioned neither are that efficient for some mages like her.
She is used at the pro level as a leblanc counter pick. She actually is seen at top tier play
@@Exil22 seen in 0.001% of play lol
Actually she is really good.
Take Aftershock/Glacial and you can then dominate game with no problem. Even if you feed like crazy you can still lockdown somebody easily.
Blitz model is the best thing about him >:( He's a robot, he's supposed to be clunky, angular and awkward. That's why we love him!
Akshans kit might be overloaded. But there are a lot of more broken older champs but no one cares cause they arent new. If karthus got released today he would be considered broken cause his ult hits everyone
Karthus ultimate has long cooldown and channel time is already a huge setback. Overloaded kit is fine as long as people know how to counter them, like Jhin. His imnate is complicated but most of the time people only need to know his 4th shot hurts as fuck and he has to reload after that
@@cloudynguyen6527 Im not trying to say karthus ult is broken, only that it would be percieved to be broken if it was new.
Yeah that is true, but theres still plenty of old champs that have no counter play except out stat them or CC them.
Now Riot also make it an overloaded monster smasher that can punch monsters easily especially with atk speed items.
Finding that blitzcrank actually rhis season have items that match really good with him has been a very lovely surprisr for me a old Main Blitzcrank.
Hi, I love your videos and your hard work, especially the champion history ones. Is there another one coming soon? I feel like some champions with a rich history like Vayne, Rengar, Ryze, Jax, Vladimir... could deserve one.
Vayne is most likely the most important and popular champion that doesn't have a history video yet, having so many iconic players and montages, being famous for being the ultimate 1v1 champion. Her kit didn't change much over the years, but her strength always fluctuated depending on the current items and meta. Bloodrazor, Guinsoo, BotRK... She went from being a tank-killing late game hypercarry, to being more evenly strong at every stage of the game. Also, how over the years, with the release of overloaded champions, her dueling capabilities fell significantly. Would be interesting to go through her eleven years of existence.
It feels good knowing multiple old mains of mine are getting played again. Won't make me pick up the game again, but still, nice to see old champs can still find a place among the new ones.
Full AP Malphite with the old ult scaling was so strong and so much fun, i miss it so much
you forgot to mention in this video that picking blitzcrank into yuumi is a personal attack ff
it really is though
Akshan has surprising stuff in his kit like: ult executes minions. Increased mana regen when moving towards scoundrel. And most suprisingly his stealth has about a 5 sec cooldown at level 18.
Lmao I play akshan and I didnt even know he gets bonus gold for killing scoundrels
LOL
Pro tip: Reading your champion abilities can help you get better at them
@@dzigayu4944 I am here to play a game, not to read a series of 17 novels that is Akshans ability page.
@@GuardianSeyden yeah reading is hard, I agree.
Some League player has to be Yu-Gi-Oh player too because no Reading xP
We forgot about corki finally popping off with my artillery build
Surprised you didn't mention the hook range buff he got, it was arguably the buff that made Blitz good
Here i was so damn sure this would be a Tryndamere doc :D I love how you point out he went completely unplayed for quite literally 6 years.
I’ve been saying more cc = more gg the whole season and now I have a whole video essay to back it up! (Thanks Exil)
Man this video reminded me of the period of time when LCS top lanes were always ornn vs sylas for the ult
Gran gameplay de Kulerios papá 💜 4:15
read akshan kit and knew everything (not akshan main), but did heavily look on him and try him out on release. Although will probably forget some of these things in a few moths
You always make the best documentaries. Please never leave your vids keep my love for this game going
There were 5 things in Akshan's kit I didn't know about:
1. Avengerang gives vision.
2. Avengerang grants him movement speed when he hits an enemy champion with it.
3. Akshan can see trails towards "Scoundrels" when he's using Going Rogue.
4. Comeuppance applies lifesteal at 100% effectiveness.
5. Comeuppance bullets execute minions.
Akshan main: do not rely on avengerang vision, it works sometimes, like in bushes, but in stealth, it is a coinflip. I sometimes us it vs akali, i get the movement speed and she stays invis lol
@@sloesty that is because akalis invisibility is not detectable unless you have true sight (like towers). it is not like the camouflage of twitch or rengar.
0:18 Thats my review 😂😂😂
how did you get your summoners rift map to look like that? at 10:35
I haven't played league in at least 8 years, but I still enjoy your videos. The writing and production value are incredibly high quality.
Just fantastic work all around.
Cool video Exil.
Hope you do a Poppy video someday. Shes in a weird spot where shes pretty good but low pickrate and unpopular class but she beats so much of the stuff everyone hates in the game. And she has her old iteration to talk about similar to Yorick.
Simple answer would be that blitz has 1 job to focus and master. While akshan needs to play like an adc jungler midlaner and really his kit is a toolbox with diffrent tools insted of beying full set of tools built around doing 1 job. (landing hook for blitz)
I mean , outdated is not really bad , like blitz. A nice kit for a champion can be good for YEARS. Also , amazing video , i really like watching your videos, and it makes my day better , the videos are really fun to listen to and relaxing. Also the ideas for the videos are interesting. Thank you Exil! ^-^
I'm glad that you enjoy the videos!! Always a pleasure to provide quality content that you can relax to
Very thought provoking and well thought out video. Thanks, Exil! Love your stuff
really? "thought provoking"?
@@kcal12 mb I'm old breh
2:54 Uh Riot said the opposite. They said champion releases are going to be slowing down.
I love that little goofy waddle Boi, I always find my most fun games are playing him.
You just can't stop being hype
Hearing that MagikarpUsedFly at 10:12 threw me for a loop. Haven't heard him talk about league in so long
They buffed blitzkrang q by 20%ap and 20 base dmg.
You don't get too much ap, but always something from zombie ward, maybe adaptive and shourelia (if builded).
Man i want to play a malphite, blitzcrank kalista team so bad now
I have been playing TF as a support. Predator + everfrost is quite nice.
0:46 Firefox has a built in tool where you can Rick click a webpage and take a custom screenshot where you can scroll down the page without canceling the tool.
I love the Runescape soundtracks in these videos!
Might I ask though how you use them without any copyright issues, and if they don't have any, where it is you download them to include them in videos?
Typically game music is able to be used royalty free. Not to say that I can own it and make money from simply reposting it, but using in a youtube video is usually fine because well... if you think about it - if in-game music WASN'T royalty free every youtube video or stream would be taken down simply by listening to the game's soundtrack.
That being said, something like sports games, Madden or FIFA or whatever, they obviously license out to popular music so you can't use those. But nintendo, runescape, world of warcraft halo, those OSTs are usually okay to use (most of the time)
@@Exil22 Alright! Thank you for the info! If I may be so tedious as to ask, could you tell me where it is you go about downloading the RS tracks etc to use them? I'm not the most tech-savvy person and I rarely trust anything when it comes to downloads that isn't TH-cam's audio library
Blitz is such a good tilter champion, I never bothered with ranked but in smaller tournaments with best of 3 series, you really see its effect, land 1 good hook on the adc mid game and they are potentially tilted for the rest of the series (plus a blitz perma ban instead of your junglers rengar, who proceeds to make their adc forfeit game 3)
Blitz is my favorite support by far. I’ve played him a ton
Yo Exil, ever consider a video of the most powerful abilities in the game? Not the ones that do the most damage, I mean the most powerful by design. Stuff like Playful/Trickster, Distortion, Sleepy Trouble Bubble, Event Horizon, Rocket Grab, or You and Me. A look at how moves like these were implemented and received over the years could be fun, and add some neat discussion points to the conversations around busted new champions.
I belive that bringing up high elo onetricks is not pracrical in analaysis of champions because we have long known that it is possible to climb to challanger with high winrate with any champion. Also loking at a single player is anecdotal evidence. On a happier note this is quite a great video you have made and I enjoyed it.
Blitz is strong because of how anti-meta he is. We're on a hardcore enchanter meta and Blitz is the most direct counter to them, not just because enchanters are especially punished by his hook, but because Blitz pop shields instantly. TF isn't outdated, his passive and his E might be, but he stood the test of time. Same for Malphite. He is simple, but he works. I agree on Tryndamere though.
As you have stated, %health damage, penetration, true damage. All are higher than ever and that makes dedicated tanks worthless. But against squishies, that's no better or maybe worse than just having high base damage/ratios. In addition: those types of damage do nothing about healing and shielding. You know what are the best sources of these out there? Goredrinker, Sterak's Gage, Immortal Shieldbow and Divine Sunderer. The only item in the game that gives %damage reduction isn't a tank item. That means goredrinker/death's dance/sterak's gage will probably make you tankier than sunfire/randuin's/thornmail.
But going to the point: league has a damage problem. But it is not a burst damage, instead, its a tank shredding damage problem. An assassin basically has to basically kill his target twice through all the healing and shielding acessible for squishy champions, but now that Eclipse is a thing, they can kill tanks almost easier than the champions they were designed to kill. Not too long ago all assassins were going conqueror+goredrinker. Mages were dead in season 11 because even the squishiest AD carry can easily become a mini-bruiser. In season 12 they came back not only because crown became a thing, but because HP has been distributed to pretty much half all AP itens. Even Shadowflame, which is the closest we have from a snowballing AP second item gives HP instead of haste.
The damage problem is about who does what amount of damage, supports fuck over adcs in the earlygame because of how much damage they do. Something that should be left to junglers. But they gave supports high damage to solve queue time issues when supports were supporting champions instead of early game carries
@@jole5468 You see, mindsets like that are the reason "support" should probably be renamed to something else, because they're not meant to be babysitters. They are champions who can function on a low income.
Champions who are well known for being weak early game to lose early game fights should not be a surprise. "Supports" don't have high damage, but when the opposition has low survivability, it'll sting. As it should be.
That's the same reason I love Lissandra so much. AoE Root, and Point-and-click Stun/Selfheal+Zhonyias if you go deep and root 4 people. She's slow, but a E+Flash wins you a teamfight lategame 7 out of 10 times
I don't remember the patch but one day Blitz ultimate was buffed in order to DESTROY shields so his winrate skyrocketed.
Nowdays i use that pick if you see an enemy Sett or TK cause you will ruin their day (it counters shieldbow too).
20:34 Sylas: I beg to differ...
Just trolling no one plays sylas Kappa
Imagine if Blitzcrank had a pudge hook range.
As a Twisted Fate and Zilean main, i'm happy to hear this.
the value of a grab in any kill lane like if you pick thresh, nautilus, Pyke or blitzcrank is astronomical. the problem with a lot of these older outdated champs is they either have not enough mobility or not enough cc to do anything meaningful. they are also stat sticks. blitz crank has plenty of cc.
u are the first person in 2 months who got me to finally download opera. Good job man xD. u got me with the animated wallpaper haha
The story of the blitz hero resonated. I SUCK at supp, genuinely my playstyle of 1v1ing (I'm a top/JG main) makes me go against any supp strats. I genuinely suck at support, like absolute trash.
I was auto filled, and told my team this. They didn't care, told me to play blitz. First 30 minutes, ADC/SUPP went 0/4 and 0/8 because of me not knowing supp. Was getting flamed, and we almost surrendered.
I landed 1, not even hyperbole to say it was one of my only hooks in the entire game, on the fed enemy ADC while they were doing baron. We stole baron, steamrolled with the bounties and won the game in a couple of minutes after that.
I got 3 honors that game for pretty much feeding and inting the entire game but landing 1 good hook. It was insane
The main problem with Blitzcrank and others that have mega stupid high impact basic abilities (looking at Gangplank) is that you can miss it 10 times. But you land it ONCE and it can be huge.
And mana costs are much less of an issue because everything has mana on it these days and lots of it.
I'd really be interested in a video about heimerdinger his situation seems strange, he has insane matches vs so many characters and a rather high solo que win rate, but sees 0 competitive play.
Another thing to do with Tryndamere is, he does nothing but benefit from damage creep. With his ultimate and damage creep, he keeps doing more damage while still, not dying. You can hit him for AS MUCH DAMAGE as you want, he will not die for like 8 seconds.
I didnt really notice that renata is overloaded. I mean her w is only 'problematic' ability, even still it is situational. I think she is a decent addition to the game and capitalises on a concept of friendly fire that is quite interesting.
Two of my friends have been playing league for about two years now and started calling Blitzcranks hook a full health execute. It bothers me how accurate that is
Older champions has been in game for years so we had the time finally optimize them compared to new champs where you would need practice day in day out to play them or like with aphelios case, you almost needed degree to finally understand his passive and skills and how they work
11:04 never truer words have been spoken and hurt me in such a way.
„There‘s no reason you shouldnt download Opera as a gamer.“
There actually is, Opera had more than enough drama with their selling customer data to other companies.
So yeah they‘re definitely not trustworthy at all.
read the Akshan wiki, I've read it twice and found something new both times, I'm afraid to read it again
Hahhah
I mean Jinx is pretty nasty rn too. I know she never feels "old," but she's pretty old...
Same thing about ahri's charm. 99% of people don't even realise charm makes the enemy walk TOWARDS you, and given how teams stay ''just outside of X skillshot range'' - one lategarm charm flash (yes, charm then flash) = guaranteed win.
OMG OMG TO TOP IT ALL OFF A NEW EXIL VIDEO, YOU'RE AWESOME MAN
Glad you enjoyed!
But wait, you mention some damage increase on blitz hook, but did it not also get a range increase some time ago?
I'm obsessed with ur vids man. Keep it up.
it was really funny when they increased hook range by 100 in season 9
im still not used to it because of how absurd that shit is
if you want an example of a newer champ that isn't popular rell is one also a lot of newbies have trouble with blitzkrank or bad adcs he's easy to deal with just hook: the champion
I'd kill to have a video about singed. He's outdated but in no way bad. At least, imo.
Of the top of my head Hanwa Life Played trynd in spring of 2020
I’m gold on the LAN server, about 2 months ago I was playing with my friends and I accidentally picked mid Zilean, I ended up realizing how busted is this champion after I finished everfrost and how easy you Can land your double bomb after slow+everfrost, we had a vayne on my team that had the easiest time running away from an enemy Nasus since I was a walking slow, stunt and GA machine.
Yes, finally. New content. ❤️
wooo
you know i history video on gragus would be cool i see him all the time in old pro clips but i havent seen him in game in forever
man its so cool to see magikarp clips
I still play mao jungle since s2 until diamond rating. The good part: most enemy think i go for Support or top.
The Bad part: most of my team dont even know how jubgle mao worked and blame if they lose lane because everone these days Player assasine juler wich ganz constantly
yep. There is a reason that locking Mao jgl is troll.
As an enchanted main, I never let blitz get through draft. Even if I dodge his hook, I can’t rely on my bot laner to. Nothing I can do about it because he takes them away from my safety.
It’s funny right, because new champs are super strong but some champs, ESPECIALLY champs with 1 job and 1 job only, can still be extremely strong because they do 1 thing very well. Garen isnt super strong but if he catches you with a Q, good luck getting away from the rest of his murdering combo. Blitz grabs you? Get ready to burn your flash (unless you are ezreal or a blinker) cuse you wont get the chance after the E and quickly followed up ult afterwards. Skarner manages to catch you? Pray to the love of god you are a champ that can get QSS.
TLDR: new champs ARE overloaded and strong but old champs doing 1 job very well are still strong in their own right. Also love the video Exil! You always find the most interesting topics!
The problem is that for old champs with simple kits to be as good as new champs with overloaded kits, those old champs need to be a ball of stats. That’s not healthy for the game either.
@@Aliens1337 jep, unless you are a support(ive) character.
Hook type ability will never be bad, especially the one as powerful as blitz, the oldest, simplest, yet the strongest.
seriously, no other hook ability can screw people up as much as blitz Q, ok CD, good range, instant cast, and most importantly pull can pull enemy through terrain. Only 1 other hook ability can do that and that is Pyke's Q, and even that the enemy need to be standing close to the wall.
