“Complicated”/mechanical (Ksante, Zeri), simple (Vex, Briar, Naafiri), or gimmick champ (Viego) it seems like a large section of the community hates new champions just for being new. They’ll be perma banned on release regardless of strength, and people usually say something along the lines of don’t want to deal with new champions. So as someone who thinks new stuff is cool what’s the mentality of new champion haters? Mostly because it has little to nothing to do with whatever the champ is strong or not, most release with giga terrible WR and may even get hot fix buffed because they’re that bad. There’s just a section of the community who doesn’t want anything new?
Name the last new release not named Rell to not have a completely overturned kit?
New champs have everything and lack clear weaknesses. Older champions had very clear weaknesses
I wouldnt call Milios kit overtuned. Its a strong kit but not overtuned i feel like
Naafiri either, she just has insane numbers cuz she is Assassin Garen
I think i have a different idea of overloaded kit than most, as i can’t really consider most champs overloaded. Release Ksante i guess was close if you actually played him well, but that meant putting in time to play him well. Briar is a stat checker that’s essentially WW with a stun instead of fear. Naafiri is a generic AD assassin. Who was before that milio, enchanter with a cleanse okay fine. This, and most of the other replies, sound more like “don’t wanna deal with learning to play against champ” than anything else. I’m a swain player and play swain into every new champ, i can’t remember ever thinking “this champ literally has no weakness wtf gg riot”. Briar runs in straight lines, Land E and walk away. Naafiri can get in but has no escape tools, dodge Q all in her with R. Etc. I’m just a lot more tolerant of learning things than most it seems
Vex, naafiri, millio, renata, briar all have clear weaknesses but ok buddy
