Now make the worst ones and remember that the only thing Aurelion's passive does is stop him from hiding Xd

You already know half of midlanes champions are gonna be here.

"There are over 700 abilities on the game" Yea, and 1/3 of does are from Aphelios

When Morde ults Vayne, she's not stuck in there with him, he's stuck in there with her

Not so much overpowered but definetely incredibly annoying to deal with: -Yuumi's attach ability -Shaco's stealth mechanics -Master Yi's Q dodgeroo

That damn ekko ultimate, so short on cooldown, saves him from both using his flash and e and even heals him with a short invulnerability

Someone has forgotten about Lulu's polymorph , a ranged point click ability that renders you slowed , disarmed and can't do anything

Meanwhile, on the other far side of the spectrum: Blitzcrank w slows him for 30%

EFFECT RADIUS: 300 COST: 50 / 60 / 70 / 80 / 90 Mana COOLDOWN: 16 / 14 / 12 / 10 / 8 Active: Jax enters Evasion, a defensive stance, for up to 2 seconds, causing all basic attacks against him to miss. Jax also takes 25% reduced damage from all area of effect abilities. After 1 second, Jax can reactivate to end it immediately. At the end of the duration, Jax stuns all nearby enemies for 1 second and deals physical damage to them, increased by 20% for each attack dodged, up to a 100% increase.

i remember when i read yone abilities, i thought that his E is super busted but would leave his body behind, which would be attackable and that meant that if you ecided to fight with yone near his body, your damage would be doubled

Veigar's cage is the bane of my existence.

I just knew that Pyke's ultimate would make it here, it's actually insane

Jax doesn't make me die inside? What? Absolutely he does.

As an ADC main, no ADC should have a 360 windwall that blocks projectiles. Literally nothing we can do when we get dove by Samira.

Vars: Darius and Garen are kiteable Stridebreaker wants to know your location

Wind Wall is basically summoning an upgraded two sided Braum with E permanently up that takes no damage, blocks all projectiles, and ignores projectile based cc. It can be used to zone multiple people out of a fight singlehandedly. Oftentimes defensive abilities serve a single purpose. Janna shield blocks a large chunk of single target damage. Garen W gives him bonus defense and a shield. Rammus defensive ability makes him even tankier. Sivir's E blocks a single ability and only on herself. Wind wall simply provides too much "all purpose" defensive power by not only defending self, and not just for a limited amount of damage or abilities... it is an indefinite wall that blocks abilites, auto attacks, cc, and more. It worked on Braum because he was eating the damage for his team while reducing it for himself, except he could still be cc'd. It works on Xin because it only blocks for himself, it is an Ultimate ability on a long CD, and it provides a champion that relies on aggression for mobility a way to protect themselves during that aggression, except he can still be cc'd from outside of circle. A well placed yasuo wind wall is immediate, and could potentially have more defensive utility for the entire team than a Taric ultimate... And because of its immediate nature, it's less about outplaying it, and more about them just not using it right. Outplaying wind wall basically requires the Yasuo to make a mistake... . I really don't think there's any argument that this ability is broken.

Overpowered abilities: Akali's passive Akali's q Akali's w Akali's e Akali's recast e Akali's r Akali's recast r nothing personal akali mains :

WOOPS i accidentally clicked this thinking it was the YONE champion spotlight

"Darius is pretty slow" -Vars 2021

"A Kled or Aatrox main might look at Fiora and thinks she is the Devil's spoiled daughter..." dude you are reading my mind. Kled-Aatrox main here.

I swear if Teemos OVERLOADED, _DISGUSTING_ W is not on this list...

Come one Taric you can make it. You have a team wide Kyle ult, you can do it buddy.

"This next ability isn't an ultimate but it should be" "Yone's soul unbound.." It is an Ult, but it's on Zed instead of Yone

Am I the only one who really appreciates the fire emblem bgm?

Idk what the fuck they were thinking making Pyke's ult so damn gold efficient. That's the most humiliating thing about dying to it

me losing 50% hp because katarina picked up a blade near me *ye nothing much*

REMEMBER THAT MUNDO`S PASIVE IS ONLY 5 OR 6 WORDS...

I swear to god graves smokescreen is the most overpowered ability. No matter who I play or when I'm fed or not, his w always makes me die inside

Seraphine's ultimate is one of the most bullcrap abilities in game It is a charm, it extends and it also hurts like hell

i dont mind overpowered abilities when it is not in a overpowerd kit, viego having infinite passives that both heals him and gives him invulnerabilitty and steal the abilities of enemies AND refresh his ultimate is just dumb, when he also has invisibility dash stun and an execute

As a midlaner i personally think LeBlanc W might just be one of the most broken basic ability there is. An instantaneous dash with big AoE magic damage while also being able to traverse terrain AND being able to return to position of cast. You can't catch her (paired with R) she does AoE damage and with a base cooldown of 10 sec max lvl she can spam that AoE damage with a bit of Ability Haste.

It might not be overpowered, but Olaf's R is the bane of my existence. I rely on kiting people out at LEAST a little, being squishy. But if I'm a tank and don't need to kite him to survive, he can still just straight up ignore any attempts to peel my allies. It's rediculously frustrating.

I still think Morgana’s Dark Binding is one of the most irritating abilities to ever exist. And I don’t care what anyone or if they say “Oh you just have to dodge it.” Well that’s easy for you to say, but it still doesn’t change the fact that it’s hit-box is big, deal so much damage and worst of all roots you for-freaking-ever.

I can no longer hear the word "ability" without immediately hearing Skooch saying it

I really like the way you don’t outright say that the champion is overpowered because of this one ability. You have a really great way of explaining your points without coming off as aggressive or anything.

I still remember when Veigar's R was considered the absolute best (non ultimate) ability in the game

In my opinion veigar's cage is the strongest non ultimate ability, it is an amazin zoning tool that can be used both defencive and offencive: it can trap people inside, keep people away and it is an aoe stun.

Just a simple reminder that sometime last year there was a change to Akali's shroud on PBE that made it so that she was revealed if affected by immobilizing CC. And then it suddenly wasn't anymore, despite it feeling *much* better to play against as an area control mage since it made the ability a skill matchup instead of "haha W go woosh". Just wanna throw that out there. Keep her funny dashes, let her blow me up 100-0 if I'm caught out, that's fine. Just make her W an ability that doesn't stop me from playing the game for a full like 5 to 7 seconds, thanks. :)

Ironically, Pyke's ult is less a threat in URF, in theory it should be bonkers op, but since everyone has a million dashes, heals a lot and zhonyas, there's so many chances to dodge or outheal the threshold or even better stun or outburst pyke. Someone like Yi or Ryze are leagues more consistently threatening and just gets stronger by the minute.

I'd say Qiyana's entire kit is bullshit tbh. Her ult is super forgiving on the range of which it hits a wall and even stuns people, she has like 3 dashes, and CC/stealth

''In a world where there's 20 op abilities, they're no longer op, it's just the other ones are weak''. - Some smart dude

Man, the song choice felt so perfect. Road Taken (Calm) fits your voice perfectly. Good video. Liked it a lot.

"To crazy mechanics nested within crazy mechanics like Yone's E and Aphelios' whole kit." *Rereads 1+ pages Aphelios passive.*

If everything is OP nothing is OP.

Everyone forgot about Vladimir’s W ? Damage, slow, healing, invulnerability, can still cast his E and make him safe to regen from his R. It also works while rooted for some reason ?

I really enjoy your content man, keep it up

Man your vids are as always incredibly made

Do I hear Road Taken from FE Fates soundtrack? Truly you are a man of culture

Do you think we'll ever get a new monster champion?

i'm pretty conident veigar e is here it doesn't matter if veigar is doing well or badly, it covers a wide radius, around half the size of midlane, and can easily separate an entire team while having a significantly short cooldown, this thing is more powerful than most ultimates

0:27 you don't know how proud that makes me feel as an Aphelios main

Veigar's cage stun for 3 seconds, lasts 3 seconds, and considering he's a mage and is gonna get tons of ability haste anyway, the 12 seconds colldown will get cut significantly, so he doesn't really have any "downtime" and his windows of vulnerability get really fucking tiny

Yone's E can suck it. Like wtf he has hybrid damage, an ult that can make the entire enemy team hug each others, a shield which also hurt like a mother f-, and he is the brother of Yasuo which grants him a similar q and double crit....double crit...on top of his hybrid damage. Why does he still need a Zed ult on his dash?

I do like your music selection for your videos, really sick, gotta love that fire emblem fates song

Where do you get the gameplay clips you keep in the background? The samira double at 3:20 for example

I started playing Akali when I learned that her W was a massive safety net for tower diving. I stopped playing her when they removed the invulnerability. I admit, it's really broken but it felt too fun to stop.

Yones E literally goes from the river to the beginning of the enemies base

does anyone know what the music in the video is?

I can't keep up with these videos, there's too much of them :D but still, it's something I've been always looking for. Thanks

These videos are just free game desing classes... Love it!! ♥

Just a minor correction, but Ashe's kit received a small change in the game's lifetime. Her passive gave her a guaranteed crit, that she gained for not basic attacking for a short time, and her Q was a Toggle ability that made her slow targets on hit, like her current passive. Great video overall, just a minor nitpick :]

hey what’s the background music here? just curious

Need a part 2 talking about more overpowered abilities. Pls.

Congrats of finally hitting 1k live viewers

Camille's q is my worst nightmare, and I barely play top lane.

You can kind of sort of use Yone's E to escape death situations or scout which is something you touched on a little. A few I've done/seen are: Using it to run away to buy time for a summoner spell or your ultimate to come off of cooldown. While you do have to snap back after, sometimes a flash or ulting away/or into the enemy is just enough to live. If you feel like playing jungle Yone (which is actually pretty decent) you can use his E to go over dragon/baron pit wall to steal and then get back to (relative) safety, or to hit the blast cone to deny the enemy team from using it while having an easy way back over as his E takes care of both getting over and getting back. You can also do this to steal with a smite because nobody anticipates it. Most of the time using your E under your own tower if you're about to die in an attempt to run away will get you killed, but if you have a refillable potion or something like that, you can heal just enough to turn the tide of battle once you snap back. Or you can do so to buy time for the jungler to reach you if they were on their way over, as most people will just wait out the 5 seconds in order to try and kill you

I thought you would talk about more of them. Nocturnes ultimate is one of the most absurd abilities in the game to me. It is one of two abilities that affects every enemy champion simultaneously with the ability to kill vision, on top of giving him the ability to fly to an enemy in range with a spell shield in his kit, so you literally can't do anything for the first few seconds unless you instantly kill him. This can turn any teamfight when used properly, even without the dash, just to separate enemies and prevent them from knowing wtf is going on

5:02 "Cho'gath does not execute the target" Ackchyually...

Remember when the most OP ability was old Sion's Q Death Gaze (or how it was called) - point and click stun with over9000 damage?

I think this is a very good analysis video and isn't biased at all. It has specific criterias for what is considered overpowered, and mentions how other abilties that would be considered overpowered have their weaknesses like how even though Urgot R executes under 25% HP, it has a decently long cast time and can be dodged. I also like how he mentions how even though Darius Cho'gath and Garen can do a massive amount of damage, if you position well, they can be easily kited while Pyke can zip right past everyone. The fact that this is a reasonable argument using facts and statistics and not just a rant I think is the best part about this video

That samira moment in the beginning clip tho lmao

"execute squishy champs from over half a screen away" *Cough* Xerath Q *Cough*

Anyone else remember fiora’s old ult where she’s pretty much invulnerable

For me it's Irelia's passive, her whole kit does function around it but it is quite insane how much of a stat steroid it grants her. At times it feels like she can miss e and r, but because she clicked on minions 5 times and randomly used her w she has more dps than most other champions. It grants her more on hit magic damage than Warwick's passive, and more attack speed than Jax's passive.

Can anyone tell me the name of the song that played in the background of this video? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!

Imagine that yone's e covers half of zed's kit, has no cd or mana/energy cost, and his other half kit from yasuo, but with engage potentional. and also mixed ad/ap/true dmg, shield, dmg based on max healt, aoe, burst, cc, doubled crit chance, mobility, but the worst part is it doesn't requires the minimal amount of skill that zed or yasuo does. zed can be countered with zhonyas unlike yone, and argueably yasuo can be countered with armor unlike yone that does with his mixed dmg.

2:25 don't forget the nerf were she also used to get extra gold with her E

Quiyana e: dash Yone e: 1. Dash 2. 10 s of ms boost 3. Unstoppability that can be used erase key abilities and ulties or even to get out of cc (sry if i spelled this word wrong) 4. Half of the map dash 5. Empowered zed ult (does damage to multiple enemies and it is true damage)

does anyone know the song that is used in the video?

Invisibility without warning indicators. Like, Pyke goes invisible and everyone nearby knows he is invisible bc there's a massive effect beneath their feet. Evellyn announces herself with that heart above your head for her charm. Rengar puts a nice set of angry eyes above your head. But Teemo, Shaco, Khazix (and maybe others that i forgot) are simply completely gone to the point that you won't even know that you need to counter them until you are basically dead. Can we just get indicators for every invisibility? At least a tiny warning would be appreciated. Also, Traps, or to be more precise, TeemoMushrooms. Absolutely terrible. Every time i get a Teemo in the enemy team I start dreading taking even one step while my OracleLense isn't up. Like, Jihns traps can be avoided bc of the delay and the small number/area. Caytlins stay visible, Maokais saplings also stay visible and can potentially be outrun. But Teemo Mushrooms just do massive aoe damage with zero way to avoid them, without having Oracle Lense up and blowing it on Shrooms instead of Wards. Same with Shaco traps. An absolute menace without OracleLense. The Fear and Damage are just terrible. If I see a Yone ult or some other huge threat to me and it hits me, I'm good. I might be dead but i saw it coming and could have potentially done something. But dying to threats that i couldn't even perceive before they kill me unless I randomly use OracleLense? Absolutely hate it.

„There are a ton of instances were one can feel completely useless not because they are feeding but because of one ability on the enemy team“ Me an Assasin main when tanks or zhonyas just exist :)

Hi vars, Just happened to find your channel. Can I please have the outro music's name? Also, the way you speak + your voice + the music choice actually make for a very good go to sleep series. Just wanted to suggest that

Ziggs's Satchel Charge is OP for all 4 reasons listed in the video. With this one ability, you can do damage, grant vision, execute towers, leap in a direction, and apply airborne CC. I believe this is the most OP non-ultimate ability in the game due to its limitless applications.

I'm stunned that Morgana's black shield haven't been mentioned. In addition, Lulu's W, Lulu's R and Soraka's W are also extremmely obnoxious abilities to deal with. Janna's healthbar every 10 seconds is nothing to sneeze at either.

I would like to advance a counter argument : we actually need more abilities with the "Grounded" properties. Hear me out. With how strong dashes are in general (thet fall exactly within the parameters you said for being overpowered in general: vast amount of applications, few to no couterplay, doesn't matter if 10/0 or 0/10 to be useful) and with how almost every single new champions have a dash of one sort, to the point that items giving dash or insane movement speed have been added just to give champions with no mobility the possibility to be relevant outside of bloated numbers, "Grounded" is way too rare as it is. By adding the ability to stop dashes (maybe not all dashes, Flash for example might be made an exception) to other abilities, most notably those who only slow (and thus have been pretty much considered second rate to useless in the past few years), you force champions with dashes to use them tactically instead of being just able to use them whenever they want to any purpose they need (looking at you Riven). It would force more tactical placements and purely and simply add counterplay where there was none.

Anyone know what the background music is?

What’s the song playing in the background? (At 1:00)

If Rengar's "click on a champion to delete them from the game" ability isn't here, i'm doubting the list's authenticity.

I think you forgot veigar e. Idk but imo that is the most broken non ultimat ability. Cosidering its cooldown aswell

Does anyone know the song at the end of the video? It’s pretty.

does anyone know what the end credit song was?

I'm suprised that master yi's q wasn't even mentioned

No mention of yis invisibility? Nothing can stop it once it starts and he comes with his own mythic that turns him back invisible after killing

Was that Road Taken from Fire Emblem: Fates as BGM? I LOVE that song, brings a lot of memories

Pyke's ultimate is also perfectly usable just as a gap closer, more so if you combine E+R ensuring an easy stun covering a huge distance

As a Neeko one trick, I'm pretty sure that in the hand of a person who know what he is doing, it's absolutely busted.

Kai'sa = overloaded

Ashe on release was even simpler. P: You gain focus when out of combat slowly over time. When at 100 focus, your next attack crits and you reset to (crit chance %) focus. Q: Attacks slow, but cost mana per shot. *Mana was a painful resource back then so this hurt to use.* W: Didn't pierce, only did 7 arrows ever, but always applied frost shot. Noteworthy since frost shot was stronger but usually cost mana. E: Hawkshot gave you +3 gold per unit kill, but didn't have charges and had a limited range that increased with rank, so you felt the need to use it on cooldown. R: Basically the same.

What is the background music
