I miss Nidalee spears damage scaling on distance from her CURRENT location rather than when she threw it. The throw-catform jump oneshots were glorious.
@@kinkinTheWild it also just had better damage numbers in general - max base damage was 575 instead of the 450 it became immediately after her rework, and the maximum ap scaling was 165% instead of the current 150% (was 120% immediately after rework, eventually got buffed)
You should talk about old league's horrifically buggy vision which Riot insisted was a feature. We would have invisible nunu ults simply because he had a toe in the grass.
@@myth-leagueoflegends Riot never admits mistakes and failing to make their game better after over a decade is too much to accept. They know it will kill every other game mode and don't want that even though it will make the game boom again
@@darkgrundi9543Cope. Same thing said about wow classic meanwhile classic private servers have been running since 2010 and are still going strong now with blizzard's classic servers.
The old summoners rift had such a great feel to it. It felt like a spooky forest, but felt cozy at the same time. The Winter skin on the original summoners rift was also awesome
For me kassawin and skarner are 2 of the most broken champs every existed in league history. Especially kassa before the rework probably had 90% ban rate and around 70% win rate, considering that today we consider op champs that have 53% w/r is pure insanity. New players will probably never experience what really is a broken champ
Well, some contenders for the oldies: Kassawin 99.55% ban rate AP Yi AP Sion Old Fiora with 112 AD level 1 Old Evelynn (AP was a menace too, not just that Sunfire thing) AP Nasus when his ult had 100% ratio Release Zyra Release Graves bursting you 100-0 Release Riven Release Diana Release Darius Old Passive Draven (RIP Blood Brothers) Mordekaiser (numero uno) Ryze was OP a LOT of times too Old Poppy The legend of Weedwick 4.20 patch Very often a champion was busted because of the meta, too. Like Fizz/Ekko tank era, or Naut/Maokai giga tank era, red smite shyvana/hecarim top with ignite and tp, and even the infamous black cleaver era, too.
@@willokeefe1135The ugly shit non functional one is the the we have now, it's like they can't fuckin pay people to do decent work, trash Company forever.
AP xin zhao was a nightmare to fight against before. his 3rd hit heal was 90% of your ap and old league has a lot of on hit AP items before like malady
lol dont know how many time i abused of the NAshor tooth, Lichbane and Rabadon build on Yasuo. I wouldn't even care at all about enermies or minions. i was just running down a lane, get to the tower and start blasting and healing lol.
@@JeffreyBezeau Yasuo? You mean xin, right? Yasuo shouldn't be healing off of that, nevermind that by when he got added I'm pretty sure tower shots already scaled.
@@henriquepacheco7473true, yasuo could not heal even with those items. But I don't think turrets scaled during his release just yet (season 3 iirc). If memory serves right, he was already starting to be a menace right before the worst period for turrets (around seasons 4-5, even 6 just before turret plating was added). This was a truly broken period for League. Almost all of the class changes that we know of today (and forgot) came around this time. The assassin update, mage update, juggernaut update, marksman update (recently reverted, etc.
I miss Veigar being the Anti-Mage, where you can one shot mages with your ult based on how much AP they have. You can only counter Veigar if you don't play mage against him.
@@stankobarabata2406 Veigar design is fine, there were moments in time where his cage was busted with a bunch of cdr but besides that he was always fine. But making him specifically an anti mage is stupid. Nothing in League should be safe or guaranteed, you should always struggle and not ''me play Veigar you play AP champ me win ooga booga''
Remember when you could use the chat wheel to assign as many points to a mastery as you wanted for a patch? 0 cd flash and ignite just all over the map.
The Morde iteration where they gave him his triple bonk and dragon ghost was some wacky shit. Just oneshotting anybody that wasn't a full tank with the 3rd Q, being able to 1v5 if you had a dragon ghost, playing him mid and healing half your hp off the wraiths with your W... Man i miss Old old morde and new old morde.
I almost got the victorious Janna😢. I endured invisible eve with sword of the divine, rize's ups and downs, khazix's terror reign (assassins in general), the "better nerf irelia" era, AP Master Yi, AP Tristana, deathfire grasp on ahri, Draven's dot on passive, so on and so forth.
Man, I remember offtank manamune ryze, getting really tanky while still doing insane dps in fights. Good times. Not as goated as statikk shiv triforce alistar top, back when his ultimate gave him stupid amounts of AD for no reason and he could weave an auto in his W, so you always won trade by just doing w+sheen auto.
AP Sion was an actual menace back in the day. Point and click stun that chunked for half ur hp and a shield that did the other half. Gunblade made you immortal, and the shield scaled with ap if I remember correctly. Ad sion was no pushover either. I’d have like 500 ad with three lifesteal items and 4k hp before 30 minutes. Add an atma’s impaler and by the end of the game you were sitting on easily over 600 ad and would heal like 1k per auto with ult active. Grievous wounds was a joke to og sion. Miss the good old days.
I still remember to this day playing draft, enemy locks in LB first pick and our team counter picks AP Sion. She never stood a chance. Old League was wild.
I really liked this video, as a fairly newer player it’s super interesting seeing how strong some of the weaker champions today were once at an imaginary level. Great video!
These league history videos are super cool and nostalgic to see. Keep it up man, you are cornering a niche that a lot of old and new players will appreciate
I used to really struggle against yasuo. Dashing everywhere, massive damage, insane healing, good in lane, in sidelane, even in bed ; nah I really thought he was a menace
@@kinkinTheWild kass was basically permabanned in both comp and soloqueue. He scaled just as hard as he did today, but he also had a decently strong laning phase, between better ratios on his abilities, his q being a point and click silence, and his W letting him sustain mana more effectively than today. His R had way more range, and its mana scaling with repeated uses was significantly lower, meaning he actually had a very strong all in at level 6 already. Plus, he screwed the mostly ap-centric mages that were very common even harder, since his passive meant he would win trades with just his Q and E even while eating a full skill rotation from something like Orianna. About the only mid laner that threatened him well was Zed, which, fair, but even into Zed Kassadin was strong because of how hard he could scale.
pick eve, build magic pen bots and 5 sunfire cape, win the game, they cant see you, you kill them in 5 seconds with no counterplay, that worked for 2 years, good old times :D
except for you could just buy an oracle potion for 400 gold and see everthing invisible within like a 400 range radius. tell me you never played season 1/2 lol
Played both league and dota for quite a bit of years, yeah, early league was a copy through and through. It''s changeda lot since then and can no longer be considered as one.
I've played Old League and old Dota 2, the only thing broken I remember in Dota 2 was base 30 second(no items, no talents) Resurrection ult of Skeleton King(Now named Wraith King for copyright from Blizzard)
..... I will never forget... I think around season 6? maybe 5? idk. I remember it died down a bit and then Jinx came out. Master Yi was an absolute frickin menace and everyone had one on their team if they could. it was a fight to get first pick because there was Yi. He'd ult, Run in, and you were all guaranteed dead. This was about the time I got bored and decided to learn Shaco because I had no clue how to play around him when the enemy jungler would randomly pick him. So I locked in Shaco, Stuck a box to hopefully watch for gank. We were getting kills as the ward spotted Master Yi coming in at mach 5, locking lips with my box and retreating just as fast. It was then that I realized Shaco completely dominates yi and I spent a large majority of my lane time ditching my ADC just to make the enemy Yi's life miserable. Good times.
Fear is actually one of the hard counters for movement speed builds, cause you run away just as fast, it's almost a better version of snare or stun(if you're not going for a kill that is), Fear wasn't the same as nowadays, before it had no slow, it was usually just fear and damage. So for Yi that's immune to slows during ult while also very fast, he would just zoom out of screen view xD you just wasted atleast half of his ult duration if he cast it before entering.
@@HeyHiHowdy6969 Even old players forgot Riot used to release 1 champ per week, now we're considered lucky if they release 2 champs a year. didnt realize it was that early.
I’m so glad someone finally did this so all these season 8 kids will finally understand the pain of us season 1 players getting 1 shot in silence by a lvl 6 kassadin//leblanc
I remember the night Leblanc went live. Played in a PC cafe with my friends and I was killing the enemy mid laner at level 3 with no effort, no mind games. Her combined ap ratios were in a different league. I think the only counter was Galio at the time, due to the magic resist runes they'd use in their pages. There's a lot of stuff I thought was ridiculous but most of the time it took someone else's mistake to get the champion to scale that hard. Leblanc was an obvious exception and it was the reason she got fixed immediately.
I'm still bitter with how Riot handled the Chronoshift project, for people who don't know a group of fans were creating a legacy server of 2011 league for old fans to play and after years of work that went into the project, they basically sent a mafia boss to shut it down, and then never made their own version of it after high demand, I would play the hell out of something like that if it were to be released.
Sunfire stacking in Twisted Treeline on Shako, when the Sunfire effect duplicated on the clone, was wild. Pop out the bushes and everything you touched died Revive/teleport with all global picks was wild as well. IIRC it was Shen, TF, Noc, Panth, and a spellcaster of your choice. If anyone got gone on, everyone smashed ults or had the guy drop a ward, and if they died, they'd respawn and hit the opposite lane. I think the fastest game I ever had with friends was 9 minutes.
Honestly the people that think some of these old champs were broken and would be in today’s league just don’t know how much the game has changed. I need to really do a deep dive on the history to show it, but the damage numbers alone have gotten so crazy compared to back then.
Regardless of the damage numbers beta tf would still be broken today. Doesn't matter if your numbers are shit, just go mid, hit level 2 and then you can teleport stun anywhere on the map. Enemy jungler can never invade again, botlane has to stay under tower permanently. Teamwide free buff on passive and global slow on r are overkill.
@@pasarebird02 Damage is important but op might be forgetting how OP utility is. Just being able to teleport anywhere as a basic is pretty broken. Doesn't matter if his numbers before are used now when in theory TF would also use the broken items now. Even if he loses lane, he'll just have impact elsewhere by lvl 3. It's like when TP didn't have a cool down before being able to use it on non-tower objects.
Recently I got to play Dota 2 for the first time after I played like 10-12 years of League on and off. My friends wanted me to play with them, so I decided to try, After complaining for a while I got into it and now think it's decent but I still prefer league as far as Moba go. Anyway. if Dota taught me one thing it's that old League probably was way closer to original Dota and Dota 2 than it is today. The TF teleporting anywhere on the map as a regular skill is basically exactly like one dude from Dota who also can do this to this day. I feel like early League started off being Dota, and slowly moved in a totally different direction leading to now two totally different games. I think it's interesting.
Not only the champions, but the graphics. This IS a fantasy MOBA inspired by WoW , not what we have today . Today's league looks like an anime with a few champs still in their pure form. Old league was the real fantasy game with that artstyle
League WAS broken, no point to argue there! But at the same time, it was fun. old AP Gankplank and Master Yi are what made the game so special for me, but alas I went back to DotA after all of these "fun" builds were nerfed. Came back after like a year or so? Kept spamming Xerath mid which was (and still is) my most favorite champion in the whole game, but again when every single champion had to have some form of dash and jumped across your screen 5 times before I could even finish the animation of my W? I moved to DotA once again and for good. I'd rather keep my good memories when I had fun with the game and don't be like one of those who queue ranked games all the time absolutely hating their life and everyone around them :^)
I still remember people thinking twitch was trash back when he had a 2min stealth. He was my first champion and I went absolutely wild with him. Remember going 20+ kills with low deaths multiple times and making a bunch of friends in game.
I started right between Poppy rework and Jhin release So I missed almost every golden era. No way near to play those broken champions. My most frustrating to play against is Garen (ultra unbalanced, overturned, no weakness, cancer). Right at the end of this season, the most beautiful broken masterpiece created until now was Camille She was released like 3 weeks later than she was supposed to, the hype was real. When she came out she was so broken, on top of the new adaptive Force feature, she was so fun and overpowered, I had the best of times back then. Please continue to make this videos, the longer the better. Thanks so much Keep it upiiii]; )'
Vayne on release. Her q gave her so much damage and her passive gave her enough movement speed to transition any lvl 1 trade into a kill before the enemy would reach their tower.
I thought that I could add more to it and make it more comprehensive - I plan on re-visiting it later and going more in-depth! Appreciate the feedback.
I started league at the release of Lulu and I lived throught the infinite stacking of E damages with souls on Thresh. Full damage braum hitting 600 while being full tank And obviously the release of the worst character of this game : yasuo... 4 dashes at that time was absolute bullshit, wall blocking ranged attack ? Bullshit. 2 items to be 100% crit ?
Hey m8, I also started when lulu came out. I remember sitting there, watching the login screen and listening to the music. The music of her login screen was very good.
@@BlackAge2k Did you know that her theme song is just a different variation of the main theme song League of Legends used to have? It is to this day still one of my most favorite game soundtracks and I really hope that one day they play it again.
Xin carried me through a lot of games. I remember Tiensi no Akuma playing him, besides his signature katarina, mid and even top. I've used to buy red flask, kill the golens on my way to lane (red side), and baiting my opponent. BoxBox did that with riven too.
I played from 09-2014. Quit for a decade while doing the family thing, and just recently jumped back in to see what it was like now. The game is so different now. I see why they made the changes they did, but it feels like a completely different game now.
I very vividly remember Kassawin. And by vividly I mean I never played against him because he was permabanned literally forever. iirc he held the record for highest ban % till they added the ability for every player to have their own ban, allowing for a champion to get banned twice a game. If you ever watched the video for when Riot made Urf, they even joke about this themselves. "We notice player ban rates, and it seems like you just don't like Kassadin. So, we removed him... we also removed Ryze."
Some neat side mentions for season 0/1 league is TF gold card could stun towers, panth could block up to 2 (3 with flash cancel) full tower shots per tower dive, and udyr tiger stance could CRIT towers.
For me most broken champs of all time are full dodge chance Jax and perma invisible sunfrire cape Evelyn Full AP yi was also beyond broken but so funny to play. Easiest pentas ever.
One of the most OP champions that people forget is Vayne. Her numbers were way too high upon release too and it took them like two weeks to nerf her at least. Horrible patch.
the good old spell succ Annie was something else. You could try to delete that little bastard just to see a reverse oneshot, witnessing her 300hp left becoming full health faster than lifestealing nowadays.
I’ve been playing league for 6+ years now and I still can’t understand shit when I see older clips of the game. The old graphics were so chaotic I can’t follow shit
I will never Forget AP Yi ... His Q scaled so hard with AP that you one shot enemies. Oh and if you kill someone when you have ultimate active it resets so you go invisible ... someone dies somewhere and then you go again, again, again until all are dead.
I've realized after playing this game for 10 years that the reason why old league was so good was when you're first learning it with your friends, you're all just joking around having a good time not worrying about how shit was supposed to be built. Now alot of my friends moved on from league and i'm able to see what the game always has been, an unbalanced mess. But I still look at those early days with a smile because that's how games should be played.
Classic Mord is a nightmare. When I mean classic, I mean the one that kills your carry and uses their spirit against your team. High sustain, high damage and to top it all off, he can potentially turn a fight in a 6 v 4. It's fairly common to see him wipe out the enemy team by himself.
I miss the original summoner's rift map so much. I started playing in season one, I took a break in season 4 up to season 5 and I continued playing sporadically up until season 9. I remember the day they announced the rework and I was so mad about it that I actually sent an email to them just talking shit, I was very surprised that I got a response from an unfortunate soul, in the nature of "We are not quite sure what the problem you express is exactly". The old Summoners Rift had very atmospheric and dark aesthetics, some canceled characters were thrown around as easter eggs, there were a lot of flame torches and voodoo masks around the jungle, various different little magic-induced forests and random platform of runes and jungle camps with actual tents and stuff. The newer map was cleaner, smoother to the eye and more vibrant, it wasn't bad really just a step on a different direction.
AP GP or AP Master Yi soloing midlane by doing insane damage with 1 skill and also insane healing with 1 other was my kind of gameplay.Imagine almost losing all your lifebar by one skil of your enemy and then IF,big IF, you manage to survive and do some damage back with the help of jungler or something,then your enemy heals from low health to full with 1 skill and miniscule mana cost. It was so devastating to their morale I won psychologically from the start. 🤣🤣🤣😈😈😈
I got to abuse broken Taric in the jungle for a continuous six years , his healing was so good that taking cookies in your runes made him completely broken and you know i invaded solo from level one every single game !
Started season 1 with Xin Zhao. One thing not mentioned was I thought his Q was a knock up on every hit for like a few hours after release. It wasnt mentioned, but they hotfixed that ASAP. With a little bit of attack speed he could perma CC anyone in the game. Also, my first penta came from playing Xin. With enough lifesteal and attack speed the old Xin Zhao was unkillable. A literal 1v9 god. I played thousands of games as Xin Jungle back then.
truth of the matter is that League of Legends has kept becoming a better and better game throughout the years, but it's player-base has always been full of crybabies.
I started playing in 2016, and kinda Mained Xin Zhao because I played him a bit and I remeber constantly getting S / S+ with him and shredding every single piece of my enemies Yes, I was the villain back then 😂
I only started playing when Lissandra was released but I just got flashbacks to LeBlanc's insane chain ability and how busted it was. Even flash was not going to save you.
Old Fiddle in the Middle was also busted as hell. E dark wind bounced 11 times silencing for 2 sec first bounce and an aditional sec every next bounce. You could just ult the mid laner While he was silenced than fear + drain did the rest.
I started playing in 2011 and the thing I most vividly remember from the game back then was a full AP poppy ulting the enemy team carry and one shotting them while towerdiving her and her entire team. Not sure if it was the most broken thing, but it's what pops to mind the most lmao
I think in hindsight, it's probably one of the most broken mechanics to ever exist.. it just took a long time for people to catch on to how absurd it was. Definitely will include it in a future video.
I rarely played Poppy AP so I always used my ult to the weakest enemy so I would pretty much not gain any damage and then focus the carries so the rest of my team could kill them.
I remember playing Morgana on mid lane before season one - it was wild. Her Q did wild DOT, combine with W you’d usually one shoot a carry if they didn’t have Mercuries Threads. I remember getting so powerful that I rushed at 5 players alone and they all run away. I think my win rate was around 70%. At some point before S1 she got heavily nerfed/changed and that was it for me maining Morgana. Too bad at that time there was no ranked.
I made it to Diamond in Season 3 playing old Ryze top. Rushed muramana for empowered autoattacks (this literally killed the enemy top lane) and afterwards went for other tanky mana items. You were unstoppable by endgame, easily 1v5ing the whole enemy team.
I started playing League back in May of 2011. Vayne has just been released and Orianna and Yorick were soon to follow. Was fun times back in those days. People played for fun rather than the horrible sweatfest with toxic teammates it's become. I haven't played in a few years now but I still watch some youtubers and streamers. When I see what people behave like in chat and in game I'm glad I don't play anymore. Also, better nerf Irellia.
I've been playing the game since late 2010 and I have to say, the only reason I still play it is because quite a lot of friends of mine still play it so it's still somewhat fun with friends (and in ARAM it's less toxic) but once you play solo in SR, it's just.....I don't know, people are easily angered for every little mistake you make. It's like the only joy in life they have is winning a game in League.
Sion could be built AP or AD, if AP he would one shot you with his stun and shield with AD he would fountain dive you AND NEVER DIE, even with anti heals Yorick would let an ally temporarily live if they were killed while the ult buff was active Zilean passive used to give extra EXP to ALL ALLIES GLOBALLY Yi AP was literally unkillable if you had no CC, his W scaled by 4x his AP and gave 300 both defenses instead of the now 55% dmg reduction Gragas E went through minions and his W was what his passive now is + mana regen too Katarina would make penta kills in less than a second, I dont remember her kit much anymore, I just know her W was amplified your Q and Q marked enemies for something but her CD refresh was a full reset on kill, not just 15s and no 3s before kill condition good ol' better nerf Irelia because old Irelia was always OP Q refunded mana and CD on kill, W stunned if your HP% was higher than hers, E gave true dmg and life steal to her attacks and R also had life steal on opponents hit while passive gave her TENACITY which increased the more enemy there was than allies nearby [edit] oh and lets not forget Taric. Man could solo bot lane after ulting. who needs the adc anyway? Theres even an old animation that Im sure many know of, that emphasized on this Taric. people love to bash on Riot now that they make so many broken champions and old days were much better but they forget old stuffs were much worse when compared to their respective times and not just champions, items too like is no one gonna talk about Malady? Madred? Testament of Will? you know, the OG spell vamp item? or summoner spells like Surge, which when removed, was passed down to guinsoo (on top of guinsoo's extra hit, guinsoo was ridiculous at that time) and still lives to these days but as a watered down version on Malmortius or Promote, which was basically banner of commands, but the minion you promoted gave you the gold of what it killed only reason ppl prefer old times is for 2 things 1: nostalgia 2: the community was much dumber so many didnt know anything so they spent time having fun than trying to win the games but also because we were much dumber back then is why ppl dont realize just how much broken old days were, cuz nobody knew jack I can assure you, if they were to implement the old stuffs without changing it to fit the current balance, they would 100% break the game more than any champ or item would these days.
Old Leaugue was maybe broken but still more fun then getting isntant deleted even trough daribillity Patch. Also there was no 500 Dollar Fomo for Ele. Lux .
OP stuff... How about old GP running with his minions to lane, so he can kill 2 ofthem to make it that you are forced to start with a CS and XP disadventage.. DotA-like xD
I started playing League around the release date of Irelia (near the end of 2010) and the first broken champ I remember was Jax. All he had to do was jump on you and you were pretty much dead because of his dodge. I actually remember when dodge got removed from the game. Riot made the statement they removed dodge because it had nothing to do with skill. The next OP champ that comes to mind who was so broken when it got released was Nocturne. I just remember playing ranked and a team member picked him when he just got released and the guy just ulted towards 4 enemies and won without any assistance. I cannot remember any other champion being as broken as Nocturne on the day of it's release. Also I miss the tribunal...

And I still want a classic mode more than anything in the game
Agreed! I wonder if Riot will do the Blizzard classic: "you think you do, but you don't."
@@myth-leagueoflegends Riot never admits mistakes and failing to make their game better after over a decade is too much to accept. They know it will kill every other game mode and don't want that even though it will make the game boom again
@@Verlisify no it won't. The mode would be dead in 2 weeks.

The old summoners rift had such a great feel to it. It felt like a spooky forest, but felt cozy at the same time. The Winter skin on the original summoners rift was also awesome
For me kassawin and skarner are 2 of the most broken champs every existed in league history.
Especially kassa before the rework probably had 90% ban rate and around 70% win rate, considering that today we consider op champs that have 53% w/r is pure insanity.
New players will probably never experience what really is a broken champ
Kasa is still broken nowadays
@@ValExp543 kassa nowadays is a complete joke of what he was in his prime
@@ValExp543 He's definitely not
Stacking Kass ultimate in base, tp, one shot. Oh the days.
we had 65% winrate Maokai not too long ago.
Well, some contenders for the oldies:
Kassawin 99.55% ban rate
AP Yi
AP Sion
Old Fiora with 112 AD level 1
Old Evelynn (AP was a menace too, not just that Sunfire thing)
AP Nasus when his ult had 100% ratio
Release Zyra
Release Graves bursting you 100-0
Release Riven
Release Diana
Release Darius
Old Passive Draven (RIP Blood Brothers)
Mordekaiser (numero uno)
Ryze was OP a LOT of times too
Old Poppy
The legend of Weedwick 4.20 patch
Very often a champion was busted because of the meta, too. Like Fizz/Ekko tank era, or Naut/Maokai giga tank era, red smite shyvana/hecarim top with ignite and tp, and even the infamous black cleaver era, too.
Gp crit on q spell
pantheon with black cleaver too
Holy old Draven passive I totally forgot about that
huehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehue Mordekaiser es número uno huehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehue
If fioras old ulty was still in the game I might not have quit lol.
The client was way better
That is pure nostalgia. Just because the new one has issues doesn’t make it worse than that ugly shit we used to use
The old login screen with the background music was definitely way better. Idk abt the client as a whole
@@willokeefe1135 it was definitely better in the way that it didn’t push content on you all the time at this level.
nope. was always shit
@@willokeefe1135The ugly shit non functional one is the the we have now, it's like they can't fuckin pay people to do decent work, trash Company forever.
AP xin zhao was a nightmare to fight against before. his 3rd hit heal was 90% of your ap and old league has a lot of on hit AP items before like malady
And tower shots damage didn’t scale so he could just walk to a tower and punch it down without any minions 😊
@@minutosdesapercibidosesp-e4508 the funny part here is he straight up heals using the tower right in your face before he hits you with his 3rd skill
lol dont know how many time i abused of the NAshor tooth, Lichbane and Rabadon build on Yasuo. I wouldn't even care at all about enermies or minions. i was just running down a lane, get to the tower and start blasting and healing lol.
@@JeffreyBezeau Yasuo? You mean xin, right? Yasuo shouldn't be healing off of that, nevermind that by when he got added I'm pretty sure tower shots already scaled.
@@henriquepacheco7473true, yasuo could not heal even with those items. But I don't think turrets scaled during his release just yet (season 3 iirc). If memory serves right, he was already starting to be a menace right before the worst period for turrets (around seasons 4-5, even 6 just before turret plating was added). This was a truly broken period for League. Almost all of the class changes that we know of today (and forgot) came around this time. The assassin update, mage update, juggernaut update, marksman update (recently reverted, etc.
I miss Veigar being the Anti-Mage, where you can one shot mages with your ult based on how much AP they have. You can only counter Veigar if you don't play mage against him.
Or simply with more range, like Lux, Nidalee, Xerath, Ziggs.
oh yeah. he had so much free mana back then!! free chalice passive iirc.
That shit is uninteractive as hell lol. Let me play the champ I want without this counterpicking point and click dogshit.
@@famulanrevengeance3044id honestly rather have that than having 200 years champs running rampant every patch or so.
@@stankobarabata2406 Veigar design is fine, there were moments in time where his cage was busted with a bunch of cdr but besides that he was always fine.
But making him specifically an anti mage is stupid. Nothing in League should be safe or guaranteed, you should always struggle and not ''me play Veigar you play AP champ me win ooga booga''
as a new player its really cool seeing the old game and how the game has changed your also the only real lol ytber i watch
YES SIR especially looking at the old jungle in League is just CRAZY
As an old league player this shit is still wild. I remember when jayce came out and elo inflated me so hard. OH and Diana
Yeah!!
Rush best lol TH-camr
The nostalgia..
Riot's spaghetti code being so bad removing a comma from a txt file removed cooldowns from active items was a wild ride.
Remember when you could use the chat wheel to assign as many points to a mastery as you wanted for a patch? 0 cd flash and ignite just all over the map.
@@nosoap4204 It's impressive how bad LoL is and always has been
The Morde iteration where they gave him his triple bonk and dragon ghost was some wacky shit.
Just oneshotting anybody that wasn't a full tank with the 3rd Q, being able to 1v5 if you had a dragon ghost, playing him mid and healing half your hp off the wraiths with your W...
Man i miss Old old morde and new old morde.
Playing Duo Bot with Mord + a competent Sup with engage was so much fun.
@@khankhomrad8855 mord leona went hard af back then, the opponent just kinda lost lane as soon as leona got her level 2
killing the ad or enemy zin xio and just obliterating the enemy team with their own carry
I almost got the victorious Janna😢. I endured invisible eve with sword of the divine, rize's ups and downs, khazix's terror reign (assassins in general), the "better nerf irelia" era, AP Master Yi, AP Tristana, deathfire grasp on ahri, Draven's dot on passive, so on and so forth.
Actually they still should nerf Irelia
AP Trist was so weird, fully forgot about that
Man, I remember offtank manamune ryze, getting really tanky while still doing insane dps in fights. Good times.
Not as goated as statikk shiv triforce alistar top, back when his ultimate gave him stupid amounts of AD for no reason and he could weave an auto in his W, so you always won trade by just doing w+sheen auto.
AP Sion was an actual menace back in the day. Point and click stun that chunked for half ur hp and a shield that did the other half. Gunblade made you immortal, and the shield scaled with ap if I remember correctly. Ad sion was no pushover either. I’d have like 500 ad with three lifesteal items and 4k hp before 30 minutes. Add an atma’s impaler and by the end of the game you were sitting on easily over 600 ad and would heal like 1k per auto with ult active. Grievous wounds was a joke to og sion. Miss the good old days.
The AD Sion fountain dive 1v5’s 😂😂😂
The point and click stun alone was wild, and that's only a small part of it
I still remember to this day playing draft, enemy locks in LB first pick and our team counter picks AP Sion. She never stood a chance. Old League was wild.
It's weird that TF had Axe's battle hunger.
I really liked this video, as a fairly newer player it’s super interesting seeing how strong some of the weaker champions today were once at an imaginary level. Great video!
Tbf none of these champions are weak today :')
Glad to hear it!
Sounds like early League was under heavy Dota influences where champion abilities are critical and then thus op
These league history videos are super cool and nostalgic to see. Keep it up man, you are cornering a niche that a lot of old and new players will appreciate
Thanks for the feedback - more Old League stuff coming very soon
What if there was an april fools gamemode with every champion chamged to the most broken state they have ever been in
I miss the Katarina before they did her recent rework. I hate that you have to set up every time with her daggers now.
Yeah they ruined my favorite champ
I used to really struggle against yasuo. Dashing everywhere, massive damage, insane healing, good in lane, in sidelane, even in bed ; nah I really thought he was a menace
I dont think it ever has been something more broken than 2013/2014 Kassadin with the almost 100% ban rate
I played all thru that era and don't even remember Kass being that OP lol maybe he was just being banned all day long and I didn't notice
@@kinkinTheWild kass was basically permabanned in both comp and soloqueue. He scaled just as hard as he did today, but he also had a decently strong laning phase, between better ratios on his abilities, his q being a point and click silence, and his W letting him sustain mana more effectively than today. His R had way more range, and its mana scaling with repeated uses was significantly lower, meaning he actually had a very strong all in at level 6 already. Plus, he screwed the mostly ap-centric mages that were very common even harder, since his passive meant he would win trades with just his Q and E even while eating a full skill rotation from something like Orianna. About the only mid laner that threatened him well was Zed, which, fair, but even into Zed Kassadin was strong because of how hard he could scale.
Kassadin 99.55% ban rate, please
pick eve, build magic pen bots and 5 sunfire cape, win the game, they cant see you, you kill them in 5 seconds with no counterplay, that worked for 2 years, good old times :D
@hernangomar5445
That was a meme build. Anyone above 800 elo was smart enough to buy a pink
except for you could just buy an oracle potion for 400 gold and see everthing invisible within like a 400 range radius.
tell me you never played season 1/2 lol
Eve having a stun was some busted shit. Dunno who figured that it was a good idea haha. I hated her so much back in the day.
Played both league and dota for quite a bit of years, yeah, early league was a copy through and through. It''s changeda lot since then and can no longer be considered as one.
I've played Old League and old Dota 2, the only thing broken I remember in Dota 2 was base 30 second(no items, no talents) Resurrection ult of Skeleton King(Now named Wraith King for copyright from Blizzard)
The invisible and subterranean Nidalee spears that felt three times as wide as their visuals will haunt me forever.
..... I will never forget... I think around season 6? maybe 5? idk. I remember it died down a bit and then Jinx came out.
Master Yi was an absolute frickin menace and everyone had one on their team if they could. it was a fight to get first pick because there was Yi.
He'd ult, Run in, and you were all guaranteed dead.
This was about the time I got bored and decided to learn Shaco because I had no clue how to play around him when the enemy jungler would randomly pick him.
So I locked in Shaco, Stuck a box to hopefully watch for gank. We were getting kills as the ward spotted Master Yi coming in at mach 5, locking lips with my box and retreating just as fast.
It was then that I realized Shaco completely dominates yi and I spent a large majority of my lane time ditching my ADC just to make the enemy Yi's life miserable.
Good times.
Jinx came out in season 3 lol
"Ditching my ADC"
this was Shaco SUPPORT?
Fear is actually one of the hard counters for movement speed builds, cause you run away just as fast, it's almost a better version of snare or stun(if you're not going for a kill that is), Fear wasn't the same as nowadays, before it had no slow, it was usually just fear and damage. So for Yi that's immune to slows during ult while also very fast, he would just zoom out of screen view xD you just wasted atleast half of his ult duration if he cast it before entering.
@@HeyHiHowdy6969 Even old players forgot Riot used to release 1 champ per week, now we're considered lucky if they release 2 champs a year. didnt realize it was that early.
I’m so glad someone finally did this so all these season 8 kids will finally understand the pain of us season 1 players getting 1 shot in silence by a lvl 6 kassadin//leblanc
"When did you start playing League?"
The question is... "When did I stop?"
Way too late, I have brain damage now.
I remember the night Leblanc went live. Played in a PC cafe with my friends and I was killing the enemy mid laner at level 3 with no effort, no mind games. Her combined ap ratios were in a different league. I think the only counter was Galio at the time, due to the magic resist runes they'd use in their pages.
There's a lot of stuff I thought was ridiculous but most of the time it took someone else's mistake to get the champion to scale that hard. Leblanc was an obvious exception and it was the reason she got fixed immediately.
Tank Kat+Tank Vei were adequate counters (although these were stopgaps cause of old pick rotations) iirc.
leblanc?, sion ap destroyed her
I'm still bitter with how Riot handled the Chronoshift project, for people who don't know a group of fans were creating a legacy server of 2011 league for old fans to play and after years of work that went into the project, they basically sent a mafia boss to shut it down, and then never made their own version of it after high demand, I would play the hell out of something like that if it were to be released.
Sunfire stacking in Twisted Treeline on Shako, when the Sunfire effect duplicated on the clone, was wild. Pop out the bushes and everything you touched died
Revive/teleport with all global picks was wild as well. IIRC it was Shen, TF, Noc, Panth, and a spellcaster of your choice. If anyone got gone on, everyone smashed ults or had the guy drop a ward, and if they died, they'd respawn and hit the opposite lane. I think the fastest game I ever had with friends was 9 minutes.
AP master yi still haunts my dreams... but it was still the best era where i've had the most fun
iconic - will have a video covering him soon
It feels nice that xin being mentioned in busted champions. Glad to know that it wasn't a fever dream
I played back in these days:) I'm glad this game took off like it did but I miss the days before ranked came out. The game was so chill.
Honestly the people that think some of these old champs were broken and would be in today’s league just don’t know how much the game has changed. I need to really do a deep dive on the history to show it, but the damage numbers alone have gotten so crazy compared to back then.
Regardless of the damage numbers beta tf would still be broken today. Doesn't matter if your numbers are shit, just go mid, hit level 2 and then you can teleport stun anywhere on the map. Enemy jungler can never invade again, botlane has to stay under tower permanently. Teamwide free buff on passive and global slow on r are overkill.
@@pasarebird02 Damage is important but op might be forgetting how OP utility is. Just being able to teleport anywhere as a basic is pretty broken. Doesn't matter if his numbers before are used now when in theory TF would also use the broken items now. Even if he loses lane, he'll just have impact elsewhere by lvl 3. It's like when TP didn't have a cool down before being able to use it on non-tower objects.
@@pasarebird02level 2? people were using it at level 1 to put a ward and then destroyed the whole enemy team
Recently I got to play Dota 2 for the first time after I played like 10-12 years of League on and off. My friends wanted me to play with them, so I decided to try, After complaining for a while I got into it and now think it's decent but I still prefer league as far as Moba go. Anyway.
if Dota taught me one thing it's that old League probably was way closer to original Dota and Dota 2 than it is today. The TF teleporting anywhere on the map as a regular skill is basically exactly like one dude from Dota who also can do this to this day. I feel like early League started off being Dota, and slowly moved in a totally different direction leading to now two totally different games.
I think it's interesting.
The old draven bleed passive...
Not only the champions, but the graphics. This IS a fantasy MOBA inspired by WoW , not what we have today . Today's league looks like an anime with a few champs still in their pure form. Old league was the real fantasy game with that artstyle
Yeah! Twisted treeline was a vibe on release with the old music
@@dogedoge5682 twisted treeline , Dominion, the old Rift , old aram . That was the shit league was made for
Older league had a lot more dota mechanics, that still exist in dota 2
League WAS broken, no point to argue there!
But at the same time, it was fun.
old AP Gankplank and Master Yi are what made the game so special for me, but alas I went back to DotA after all of these "fun" builds were nerfed.
Came back after like a year or so? Kept spamming Xerath mid which was (and still is) my most favorite champion in the whole game, but again when every single champion had to have some form of dash and jumped across your screen 5 times before I could even finish the animation of my W?
I moved to DotA once again and for good.
I'd rather keep my good memories when I had fun with the game and don't be like one of those who queue ranked games all the time absolutely hating their life and everyone around them :^)
I still remember people thinking twitch was trash back when he had a 2min stealth. He was my first champion and I went absolutely wild with him. Remember going 20+ kills with low deaths multiple times and making a bunch of friends in game.
The first and only champion with the "roaming" lane
I started right between Poppy rework and Jhin release
So I missed almost every golden era.
No way near to play those broken champions.
My most frustrating to play against is Garen (ultra unbalanced, overturned, no weakness, cancer).
Right at the end of this season, the most beautiful broken masterpiece created until now was Camille
She was released like 3 weeks later than she was supposed to, the hype was real.
When she came out she was so broken, on top of the new adaptive Force feature, she was so fun and overpowered, I had the best of times back then.
Please continue to make this videos, the longer the better.
Thanks so much
Keep it upiiii]; )'
Vayne on release. Her q gave her so much damage and her passive gave her enough movement speed to transition any lvl 1 trade into a kill before the enemy would reach their tower.
Did your Magifelix video get taken down?
I really enjoyed that one
I thought that I could add more to it and make it more comprehensive - I plan on re-visiting it later and going more in-depth! Appreciate the feedback.
I started league at the release of Lulu and I lived throught the infinite stacking of E damages with souls on Thresh.
Full damage braum hitting 600 while being full tank
And obviously the release of the worst character of this game : yasuo... 4 dashes at that time was absolute bullshit, wall blocking ranged attack ? Bullshit. 2 items to be 100% crit ?
Hey m8, I also started when lulu came out. I remember sitting there, watching the login screen and listening to the music. The music of her login screen was very good.
@@BlackAge2k Did you know that her theme song is just a different variation of the main theme song League of Legends used to have? It is to this day still one of my most favorite game soundtracks and I really hope that one day they play it again.
Xin carried me through a lot of games. I remember Tiensi no Akuma playing him, besides his signature katarina, mid and even top. I've used to buy red flask, kill the golens on my way to lane (red side), and baiting my opponent. BoxBox did that with riven too.
I played from 09-2014. Quit for a decade while doing the family thing, and just recently jumped back in to see what it was like now. The game is so different now. I see why they made the changes they did, but it feels like a completely different game now.
8:13 but what about the Ninja Tabis?
You are stacking PDs so you wouldn’t have room for tabis
Twisted Fate's global gold earning was a huge reason just to pick him. You helped put your team ahead, even more so with his ult w/ yellow card ready.
I very vividly remember Kassawin. And by vividly I mean I never played against him because he was permabanned literally forever. iirc he held the record for highest ban % till they added the ability for every player to have their own ban, allowing for a champion to get banned twice a game. If you ever watched the video for when Riot made Urf, they even joke about this themselves. "We notice player ban rates, and it seems like you just don't like Kassadin. So, we removed him... we also removed Ryze."
Some neat side mentions for season 0/1 league is TF gold card could stun towers, panth could block up to 2 (3 with flash cancel) full tower shots per tower dive, and udyr tiger stance could CRIT towers.
For me most broken champs of all time are full dodge chance Jax and perma invisible sunfrire cape Evelyn
Full AP yi was also beyond broken but so funny to play. Easiest pentas ever.
bring back AP Yi
Old Mordekeiser + leona bot...
AP Master Yi
i kinda miss the old league
One of the most OP champions that people forget is Vayne. Her numbers were way too high upon release too and it took them like two weeks to nerf her at least. Horrible patch.
the good old spell succ Annie was something else.
You could try to delete that little bastard just to see a reverse oneshot, witnessing her 300hp left becoming full health faster than lifestealing nowadays.
Season 2/3 was honestly the best gaming experience of my life. Fizz/Kata/Leblanc was just the most fun I've ever had in a video game setting period.
I’ve been playing league for 6+ years now and I still can’t understand shit when I see older clips of the game. The old graphics were so chaotic I can’t follow shit
It doesn't help that the old videos are usually low quality. It looked bad - but it wasn't blurry lol
I will never Forget AP Yi ... His Q scaled so hard with AP that you one shot enemies. Oh and if you kill someone when you have ultimate active it resets so you go invisible ... someone dies somewhere and then you go again, again, again until all are dead.
I've realized after playing this game for 10 years that the reason why old league was so good was when you're first learning it with your friends, you're all just joking around having a good time not worrying about how shit was supposed to be built. Now alot of my friends moved on from league and i'm able to see what the game always has been, an unbalanced mess. But I still look at those early days with a smile because that's how games should be played.
I'm so glad you finally released a new video :)
Thank you! I'll be uploading much more frequently going forward
@@myth-leagueoflegendsGlad to hear it, I dig the content and it gets a sub from me 😊
It WAS broken. And it's EVEN MORE broken now LETS GO!
Classic Mord is a nightmare. When I mean classic, I mean the one that kills your carry and uses their spirit against your team. High sustain, high damage and to top it all off, he can potentially turn a fight in a 6 v 4. It's fairly common to see him wipe out the enemy team by himself.
Pls bring a footage of old xin zhao oneshotting whole enemy team with his old R and he himself getting oneshotted by thornmail😂😂😂
I miss the original summoner's rift map so much. I started playing in season one, I took a break in season 4 up to season 5 and I continued playing sporadically up until season 9.
I remember the day they announced the rework and I was so mad about it that I actually sent an email to them just talking shit, I was very surprised that I got a response from an unfortunate soul, in the nature of "We are not quite sure what the problem you express is exactly".
The old Summoners Rift had very atmospheric and dark aesthetics, some canceled characters were thrown around as easter eggs, there were a lot of flame torches and voodoo masks around the jungle, various different little magic-induced forests and random platform of runes and jungle camps with actual tents and stuff. The newer map was cleaner, smoother to the eye and more vibrant, it wasn't bad really just a step on a different direction.
AP GP or AP Master Yi soloing midlane by doing insane damage with 1 skill and also insane healing with 1 other was my kind of gameplay.Imagine almost losing all your lifebar by one skil of your enemy and then IF,big IF, you manage to survive and do some damage back with the help of jungler or something,then your enemy heals from low health to full with 1 skill and miniscule mana cost. It was so devastating to their morale I won psychologically from the start. 🤣🤣🤣😈😈😈
I got to abuse broken Taric in the jungle for a continuous six years , his healing was so good that taking cookies in your runes made him completely broken and you know i invaded solo from level one every single game !
Started season 1 with Xin Zhao. One thing not mentioned was I thought his Q was a knock up on every hit for like a few hours after release. It wasnt mentioned, but they hotfixed that ASAP. With a little bit of attack speed he could perma CC anyone in the game. Also, my first penta came from playing Xin. With enough lifesteal and attack speed the old Xin Zhao was unkillable. A literal 1v9 god. I played thousands of games as Xin Jungle back then.
All I need is the old soraka design, it was perfection.
Nah, Poppy was the real deal (especially lollipoppy)
Kassadin was definitely the broken guy when I started playing, also Katarina was not joking around.
I miss login screens with new champs or skins...
truth of the matter is that League of Legends has kept becoming a better and better game throughout the years, but it's player-base has always been full of crybabies.
correction: "It's Not Nostalgia. Old League WAS Good."
Divine sword Kog was something else, he would just tear out your health in few seconds, armor itens weren't as good to contain him
what was the bonuses of his bio-arcane barrage back then? and was still magic?
I started playing in 2016, and kinda Mained Xin Zhao because I played him a bit and I remeber constantly getting S / S+ with him and shredding every single piece of my enemies
Yes, I was the villain back then 😂
xin was one the fastest clearer in jungle season 1/2
I only started playing when Lissandra was released but I just got flashbacks to LeBlanc's insane chain ability and how busted it was. Even flash was not going to save you.
Old Fiddle in the Middle was also busted as hell. E dark wind bounced 11 times silencing for 2 sec first bounce and an aditional sec every next bounce. You could just ult the mid laner While he was silenced than fear + drain did the rest.
Oh hey look, it's me at 17:28
Kassadin with 98% ban rate and ap yi just clicking once and deleting all
I started playing in 2011 and the thing I most vividly remember from the game back then was a full AP poppy ulting the enemy team carry and one shotting them while towerdiving her and her entire team. Not sure if it was the most broken thing, but it's what pops to mind the most lmao
I think in hindsight, it's probably one of the most broken mechanics to ever exist.. it just took a long time for people to catch on to how absurd it was. Definitely will include it in a future video.
I rarely played Poppy AP so I always used my ult to the weakest enemy so I would pretty much not gain any damage and then focus the carries so the rest of my team could kill them.
I remember playing Morgana on mid lane before season one - it was wild. Her Q did wild DOT, combine with W you’d usually one shoot a carry if they didn’t have Mercuries Threads. I remember getting so powerful that I rushed at 5 players alone and they all run away. I think my win rate was around 70%. At some point before S1 she got heavily nerfed/changed and that was it for me maining Morgana. Too bad at that time there was no ranked.
I remember playing Olaf in season 2 and with 1-2 bloodthirster i was healing from 10% to full hp in 2 autoattacks. Olaf was original Aatrox.
Olaf can still heal a lot, but nowhere near that level lol
I made it to Diamond in Season 3 playing old Ryze top. Rushed muramana for empowered autoattacks (this literally killed the enemy top lane) and afterwards went for other tanky mana items. You were unstoppable by endgame, easily 1v5ing the whole enemy team.
This is a great channel and very well done video. Really look forward to seeing you delve into more champs / items as the years went on.
I started playing League back in May of 2011. Vayne has just been released and Orianna and Yorick were soon to follow. Was fun times back in those days. People played for fun rather than the horrible sweatfest with toxic teammates it's become. I haven't played in a few years now but I still watch some youtubers and streamers. When I see what people behave like in chat and in game I'm glad I don't play anymore. Also, better nerf Irellia.
I've been playing the game since late 2010 and I have to say, the only reason I still play it is because quite a lot of friends of mine still play it so it's still somewhat fun with friends (and in ARAM it's less toxic) but once you play solo in SR, it's just.....I don't know, people are easily angered for every little mistake you make. It's like the only joy in life they have is winning a game in League.
Sion could be built AP or AD, if AP he would one shot you with his stun and shield
with AD he would fountain dive you AND NEVER DIE, even with anti heals
Yorick would let an ally temporarily live if they were killed while the ult buff was active
Zilean passive used to give extra EXP to ALL ALLIES GLOBALLY
Yi AP was literally unkillable if you had no CC, his W scaled by 4x his AP and gave 300 both defenses instead of the now 55% dmg reduction
Gragas E went through minions and his W was what his passive now is + mana regen too
Katarina would make penta kills in less than a second, I dont remember her kit much anymore, I just know her W was amplified your Q and Q marked enemies for something
but her CD refresh was a full reset on kill, not just 15s and no 3s before kill condition
good ol' better nerf Irelia because old Irelia was always OP
Q refunded mana and CD on kill, W stunned if your HP% was higher than hers, E gave true dmg and life steal to her attacks and R also had life steal on opponents hit while passive gave her TENACITY which increased the more enemy there was than allies nearby
[edit] oh and lets not forget Taric. Man could solo bot lane after ulting. who needs the adc anyway?
Theres even an old animation that Im sure many know of, that emphasized on this Taric.
people love to bash on Riot now that they make so many broken champions and old days were much better but they forget old stuffs were much worse when compared to their respective times
and not just champions, items too
like is no one gonna talk about Malady? Madred? Testament of Will? you know, the OG spell vamp item?
or summoner spells
like Surge, which when removed, was passed down to guinsoo (on top of guinsoo's extra hit, guinsoo was ridiculous at that time) and still lives to these days but as a watered down version on Malmortius
or Promote, which was basically banner of commands, but the minion you promoted gave you the gold of what it killed
only reason ppl prefer old times is for 2 things
1: nostalgia
2: the community was much dumber so many didnt know anything so they spent time having fun than trying to win the games
but also because we were much dumber back then is why ppl dont realize just how much broken old days were, cuz nobody knew jack
I can assure you, if they were to implement the old stuffs without changing it to fit the current balance, they would 100% break the game more than any champ or item would these days.
Old Leaugue was maybe broken but still more fun then getting isntant deleted even trough daribillity Patch. Also there was no 500 Dollar Fomo for Ele. Lux .
In the beta Katerina and Ryze could 1 tap ur whole team with one ult usage and did pretty much the game lasted long enough.
OP stuff... How about old GP running with his minions to lane, so he can kill 2 ofthem to make it that you are forced to start with a CS and XP disadventage.. DotA-like xD
that was brutal - can't imagine if that was still possible today
I started playing League around the release date of Irelia (near the end of 2010) and the first broken champ I remember was Jax. All he had to do was jump on you and you were pretty much dead because of his dodge. I actually remember when dodge got removed from the game. Riot made the statement they removed dodge because it had nothing to do with skill. The next OP champ that comes to mind who was so broken when it got released was Nocturne. I just remember playing ranked and a team member picked him when he just got released and the guy just ulted towards 4 enemies and won without any assistance. I cannot remember any other champion being as broken as Nocturne on the day of it's release.
Also I miss the tribunal...
Camille and Illaoi release are beasts.
How about Yorick who got removed from the shop so people didn't know he existed.
I've remember Shaco's Q being a blink with range of whole map :D + invisibility, ofc
Lmao
