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.

    ‘‘Riven was considered to be trash because people didn’t understand her automation canceling.’’

    So sad what Riot did to Kassadin. Loved the old q. Only talon could harm you…

    Thanks for sharing mate!It’s sad that many new players didn’t get to know the crazy builds there used to be before Mythic items were introduced.

    One of my favorites was 6x Guinsoo’s Rageblade on Kog’Maw - it was BROKEN.

    I miss tank ekko, assassin shen, jungle karma, zz’rot, and, ironically, buying wards.

    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

    ADCs were often mid in the early first year, especially Ashe with TP (R from base and TP to lane).

    pre worked Irelia kept getting nerfed. Even when she was balanced.

    As a pre-rework Irelia OTP, she was never balanced. There has yet to be a champion as fun. She had tough match ups against a few champions but not many.

    AP Yi was so much fun (if you were playing him) … broke af
