Overpowered champions

I think that Yasuo is OP atm.
Consider he has an ability to deny you farm and block spells. Is good at meele combat, has a map-range nocturne ult and has a ranged harass spell that CCs. Not to mention with a good build he can get quite tanky late game and still put out a more than decent amount of damage.

 

I don't know if OP is the right word, but I always struggle when going top against a Yorick, I can't do nothing against him.
But nowadays I don't see him that frequently, maybe he was nerfed?

 

There are very few champions that I think are "too strong." Every character has counterplay. I main Tryndamere, I can tell you with certainty that he's not OP haha. Yorick is almost unbeatable in lane, but he's is terrible in team fights and still doesn't do as much damage as other characters, even when he's fed.

I think a lot of people base what they think is OP on a "fed" character. Well almost any character is ridiculous when they're fed.

A couple characters that I do think are too good right now are
A. Evelynn. With the vision changes and the fact that there is no reliable source of constant True sight, her ganking and counterganking is ridiculous right now and sort of uncounterable. Even in team fights, she can randomly show up and turn a fight around, and with the right build she does quite a bit of both burst and consistent damage. and
B. Jax. I just think Jax's kit is overall too good, he's a tank, who can assasinate, who can also do consistent damage, who can dodge attacks, who can stun, who has a gap closer. IMO that's too much stuff on one character. Obviously, if he gets fed he can hyper carry a game, but even if he gets stomped in lane, he can easily build tank and farm with little trouble. And he's still useful for picking off carries and stunning groups.
C. Nasus: He needs to be specifically counter-picked in lane or else he's going to dominate you late game, regardless of what happens. He scales so hard into late game and becomes an unkillable machine. Also he can take objectives easier than maybe any other champion.

 

Every single champion that is just released is pretty much considered OP. This is what Riot pretty much does. Everytime they release a new champion, they make sure its very overpowered and strong so that it will attract the consumers and persuades them to buy it. After we play the champion for quite some time and receive multiple complaints on how OP the champions, Riot then nerfs them. I believe Ahri's been nerfed like what? 2 or 3 times now? Even after all those nerfs, I still play her and can win games with her.

 

The champions that I think are OP at the moment are as follow:
1. Ziggs - this champion is your worst nightmare on mid lane. He pushes the creeps instantly, has a lot of CC, destroy's towers fast with his passive, really long ulti range and hard to kill...
2. Riven - this is probably the most ridiculous champion in the game. You get 1 item and she is at 200 dmg 10 min in game... and as if this isn't enough she can jump, stun, shield+charge and even have ranged ulti in case you somehow manage to run away .
3. Fed Mundo - normal Mundo isn't anything special, but fed Mundo can make you lose faith in yourself lol
4. Shyvana - it's really hard to kill this champion and to top it off it actually does really nice dmg. Can push lanes easy as well...

 

I think those are some good picks too. Ziggs is one of the best midlaners right now (particularly for solo Q), and Shyvana is reeediculous right now in the new jungle. I think they are going to nerf her clear time.
Riven, is just Riven. All or nothing laning phase. Just play defensive and get a gank, and then she's shut down for the rest of the match.

 

Yeah if you can with some miracle prevent Riven from farming properly and with good juking on her stuns she is rather useless, but it's usually hard to do.
Also I think Ziggs needs to have his Q increased with perhaps 1 second, because at the moment with some CD reduction(unholy grail + 5% from towers + blue buff = cap) he is bombing like a monster nonstop. On poke phases in the fights he leaves the enemy team on half HP before the fights even starts and because of that quite often people loss towers because they can't even have a proper fight even under their tower.

 

The OP champions are always coming and going after each patch, but some of them still stay OP, even after a nerf. One particular champion that got hit really hard was LeBlanc. After her silence nerf, she was pretty much left alone by everyone, and no one picked her anymore. Every patch sort of changes the meta, so it's hard to say which champion is OP because they might get a huge nerf or something.

 

For me, and everyone. The all time Jax is OP.
His escapes are good. His attacks with passive and ult is good. His sustain is good.
He counters most champs, and is OP as hell late-game.

 

I think that Leblanc and Gnar is pretty OP at the moment, he can just build tanky and still hit like a truck, as well has his multiple stun abilities are a real annoyance.

 

I hate evelynn with a passion. She can stay invisible for so long because vision wards have to be bought just for her! They can be destroyed as well! She has too much ganking presence because there is always a chance of being ganked and when she does, you never expect it!

 

Currently, IMO, Nidalee is the most OP champ. Well, in the PH server at least — our patches come late.

She's got a heavy burst, long-range spear that can f*ck you up in 1 hit given the right amount of AP. She can run through bushes and gain additional MS — almost unchasable. Overchase her and you're dead by the spears.

 

Pantheon. If he scales right, he's a monster. Keeping in fact that if they went tanky DPS like they should instead of glasscannontheon, then you should always have Aegis (his 1 hit block of anything) up all the time. Couple this with his jump-slam-stun that procs his Aegis over again and a mandrop to get you out of dodge if you had to use it that way.. I've seen many of the pantheons I've fought just drop in silently and gank as well. Wards, Wards, Wards.

Nida doesn't scare me. If I see her spears, I run INTO her, not away. Most people freak and run away max ranging her spear on purpose. Most nids want that.

Leblanc deserves to be mentioned. 1 on 1, if you do not have a stun or silence YOU ARE TOAST. The chain combo/repeat of nuke special can drop you down to nothing. She's on the same level as Veigar. Veigar may be a twinge more annoying though since all of his attacks are nearly instant cast and he has an aoe ring stun.

 

Vayne is definitely overpowered late game, regardless of how many actual kills she gets. She will simply pwn everyone and everything, and can do solo baron in an instant, about 10-15 seconds at lvl 18. I can't say I'd like a nerf though as I play her. xD

 

I think it changes with each update and as the meta shifts. I try and not let it bother me but I do admit that sometimes it is unavoidable to feel frustrated and bored especially if it's all you ever see in each game because players are taking advantage.

 

I don't think any champ is OP. Depending on the meta, obviously some champions are going to be better than some. Also, it highly depends on the skill level of the player in charge. Someone could use an 'op' champion and still do bad.

 

Yorick in his lane is nearly impossible to beat. I rarely ever hear of him getting defeated in a fair match. I would like to see them show more options in his lane.

 

I hate both Yasuo and Riven. It's like they were designed to fight multiple opponents and win. Their mobility, damage and ranged ults makes it very hard to both escape and engage them. And even if you manage to get close and outplay them, they will outdamage you at melee and as you start running they will kill you with their ranged ults.

 

I agree with you completely. Some updates may cause some champions to become OP but I feel they are always found and fixed and in general they are all balanced as long as you have the proper counter measures for it. All depends on skill and getting matched with people with the same skill which unfortunately is not easy.
