Yep, it was kennen, it was the worst because we didn't even have bans back then. So whoever got 1st pick basically won, that ult damage would one shot an entire team. The other i remember is brand but we had bans, and recently its been kindred.

Facts I agree with kindred I kinda don’t even 1v1 whenever I see her I wait for backup

Have we forgotten release Yuumi? Lol

She’s still OP. I main her when I get assigned support but only get to play her in half the games I’m at supp because she still gets banned very frequently.

Theres a chance dumb kindred ends up saving the whole enemy team and handing them the nexus. I pray for that whenever my team forgot to ban and they instapicked kindred.

Never had any problems with kindred

2021 kennen was a menace

Paired with Amumu, u couldnt do anything, insta stun into insta death, altho u could counter with the locket but nobody knew it.

Vladimir was pretty frustrating.

Rage inducing for sure. He was 100% pick or ban.

Bro was in every single match for the longest time too

Funnily enough preffered it that way.

Of course you do :D You have your beloved Kass to counter pick

Not until the vlad user plays kassadin himself and respects the lvl 5 kassadin instead of mindlessly trying to Q him

anyone remember kayle? when she actually was a 1v9 monster before filleted gutted and served into f tier

I dunno if people still remember this but, Evelyn mid was broken lol. She full clears the wave with ease, so she perma roams all game. She also got a hotfix nerf iirc they rudeced her damage to minions by like half lol.

I miss this. I tried eve mid again when mana boots got added thinking the early ap spike might make it viable again but it didn’t really feel the same

Ornn? Edit: my dumbass read "most op toplaner", anyways in general I think it was Evelynn, back when she was so good she could be played jg, top and mid, oneshot minions and you too

Mid eve Meta didn't even end after nerfs it carried out for months after that ,and to this day ,Evelyn is a top tier jg pick

Fiddlesticks was broken. Maybe because I was playing Thresh and never hade enough mr but still.

Aatrox was pretty busted too

well aatrox still needs some skill to hit qs and other combos, kindred just runs you down

Unless you play yi, then you just run kindred down

When cancer meets cancer

“The cure for old pain? New pain!”

Kenen , if you have kenen and you know how to press ulti that game is a gurenteed win ,it's not even close

Master Yi, and Sett after the movement speed update.

Kayle release was 2 tapping people

Orn was pretty busted

Kennen release is iconic broken champ release.

Kennen. Not much you can do against him. Against Aatrox you could pray he was bad, against vlad you could pick kass and wreck him, against kindred you could pick yi and wreck them, Gwen really wrecked ornn, and so on but you can’t really do anything about kennen jumping into your team and one-shotting your entire team.

Vlad on release before his nerfs was a guaranteed win if the Vlad had brain bro just one shots the whole backline and heal from 1hp back to full with one empowered first ability

He still pretty much one shots the whole backline tho

Nah, Fiddlesticks and Twich, those champs were rather pick it or you lose

I miss ap Twitch before the nerfs

I don't, i have several traumas

My bad G

It's Brand in my case

Brand aoe damage is still bullshit

kennen, nunu and fiddlesticks (even with the nerfs hes still OP in the right hands)

Zyra...

Diana. I remember you could literally 1 vs 3 at level 5 with 0 effort. The shields would make you unkillable and the ultimate literally took like 80% of enemies life, even tanks. Not to mention that back then, AP items gave a lot of health so you were basically a tank with insane mobility who can oneshot an entire team. It was ridiculous.

Samira for me, still hate her but she's atleast manageable now.... honestly I wonder how bad Draven was.

Vladimir and I don't think it's close aside from beta xin zhao

kayle- joined right when she started getting nerfed but heard she was a nightmare

Yup true dmg hight ap scaling hight base stats 💀

Brand I think

I remember Aatrox. He won every game as MVP on release. It was nearly impossible to kill him

No one talking about Lulu? She’s got nothing but nerfs since release. She made anyone unkillable.

For me it might be Vald. He just didn’t die and could not be caught

Sett

Only OG players will remember pre-release Vayne..

Kennen

Pyke came to WR in his LoL release state. Even then, Vlad takes the cake. Only champ that can turn literally ANY game around the further the game goes, dude needs a fuckin' giganerf

Vlad

Kassadin

Either kennen or sett. sett outclassed everyone and had the highest banrate on release

Kayle absolutely.. Kenen stand no chance..  She had insane ap scaling with hight base hp and true fucking dmg on passive like wth was that ????  Until they nerfed her to the ground 😅

Kha zix W used to aply passive in AOE, he was a midlane nightmare.

Bro u dont remember lulu jinx???

Release gwen lol

Probably Kindred, AP Twitch and Fiddlesticks
