I’ve been playing league since season 3. Since then, there’s been a influx of new players ove the years that missed some of the weirdest, and funniest, builds and things that were once meta.
I’ll start
- Kassadin had a 95% ban rate. If he wasn’t banned in ranked, most players would either first pick or dodge.
- AP Master Yi and Trydamere were viable and OP at one point
- pre worked Sion had AP scaling and could 1 shot
- Xin Zhao literally broke the game when he was released
- pre worked Irelia kept getting nerfed. Even when she was balanced.
- Supports didn’t have a support item. They had to buy wards. This led to most supports not able to buy a full item.
- Riven was considered to be trash because people didn’t understand her automation canceling.
- river shen
Juggermaw probably seems too farfetched in todays game. Irony is that I bet a similar/modernised version is completely viable. (Karma/Soraka/Taric top, Taric/Rell jungle, Karma/Soraka/Galio/Lulu mid, Nami/Lulu/Soraka/Milio support and one lucky scaling ADC)
Gotta miss that old Maokai ult
