Title sums it up pretty much. I’m just wondering how many champions ( especially in Mid/top, can be any role/champ tho ) there are that can just unexpectedly either kill you or just beat you to a pulp very early on if you’re not careful.
My best and only examples are Pantheon and GP. Spear shot literally solokilled one of the best Korean toplaners at lvl1, and solarbacca is sometimes able to just completely destroy lane starting lvl 1/2. Almost nobody expects these champs to be able to get a solo kill so early on, and it’s usually too late when the enemy realizes that they’re dead.
Do you guys know any other champs that can do this? can’t think of any other ones myself
Definitely Kayle.
Her 2-5 is ass, easily the worst of any solo laner and amongst the worst in the game. Her Level 1 however, is extremely strong. The Darius matchup is a good example. If you take E level 1, and the Darius fights you, you can quite capably kill him unless he plays extremely well with his bleed stacks. From that point on till Level 11 though, it’s relatively even if not in Darius’ favour, then goes back to Kayle.
Now of course there’s some champs Kayle can just outright defeat regardless of level, such as Yorick and Gangplank, but many champions that on paper should make Kayle’s lane phase or even whole game hell can fall to her at level 1.
