fiora's W: able to repel world ending attacks teemo's W: you can move faster

It’s funny how you almost thought Akshan’s W was simply stealth

Tristana's W also reset on takedowns so it can be applied in many situations Although the downside is that it's slower than most dashes but she compensates it anyways by having insane jump range

Ziggs W being overlooked so quickly was very dissapointing! It is so much more than only destroying towers. It acts as engage and disengage, it can peel for yourself of others, dash over walls, push enemies over walls, insec enemies into your team from a distance, you can even throw yourself forward and Q midair for sick alley hoop finishes. Its one of the most fun abilities in the game! And when you max it the execute on towers is so high it can win you games on its own.

You forget that with Fiddle's W you can turn any champ into an effective jungler.

I guess you really underestimate the farming impact of junglers. Fiddle W for example is at least "good AF" because of his healthy and fast clear.

If Rammus isnt #1 I will cry, you dont want me to cry do you? 😢

I really believe Kog'maw's W should be on Top 10 simply because if it wasn't for it, AD Kog'maw wouldn't exist and nobody would play Kog'maw ever without it. Also I'm surprised Gwen's W isn't in Top 10

Kog'Maw W is ultimate levels of power and singlehandedly makes his kit function in AD builds. Calling it Niche is insane. on basically ANY champ who can utilize auto attacks it does absurd extra damage. it turns EVERY SINGLE MELEE champ into URGOT. As I said it is basically his actual Ult and even with low AS it scales like mad for high AP champs. Imagine Veigar having access to it?

My man put building terrain and changing the map, knock down and displacement and changing enemy pathing as subpar 😢 Anivia deserves more respect for what wall can do. Instant cancel on any channeling ability is huge. Stops Sion ult, nunu snowball, naut hook or any dash if you are fast enough. Not even including you can pin enemys against terrain and effectively root them for 6 seconds. Can also manipulate ally minion waves. Honorable mention is that it is 1 of the very few cc on ally.

neekos w is way stronger then you seem to think. Her clone has a hitbox so it triggers traps eats skillshots stops sion and nunu ult and creates vision to scout bushes or around corners

As a Poppy player Id actually prefer anivias W. The anti dash is really only helpful in teamfights since the cd on it is so long without items and enemy dash cooldowns are so short.

There is no way viego's W is on the same level as Thresh lantern, Bel'veth W, graves smoke, akshan revive, and jhin's W...

This video is particularly interesting, as the W ability is usually the most creative yet usually not damaging

What about Hwei, you forgot his W

I would put kog w in top 10, his entire kit and gameplay is based on that, the rest of his kit is nearly useless. Now imagine something, you either give this to a champion with a much larger range like cait and she can oneshot you from a screen away or a champion that has a very defensive kit liek xayah or sivir

this is a treat for someone who eats really slow, like me. Thankyou Vars

Ok....1 question if eve W was on a range champ like lux isn't it scary bc it shreds Mr and charm? So isn't deadly by itself??

I think gnar being moved down was a mistake since Gnar's applies from Runaans and can be stacked on multiple targets for massive team fight aoe damage. Also I love the idea of just making champions out of other kits and I've done it a few times for shits and giggles, you can come up with some truely wild combinations.

Cassio w is one of the best abilities of the game on paper, except the casting time is non-negligeable, and often champions still dash out of it when they are supposed to be grounded. So it's also the most frustrating ability to use.

I have better idea for a video You can make a tier list of best CC abilities in the game, or best dash abilites, something like that

Nunu w should be up there, its one of those strong scaling abilities but also is incredibly good when your behind, also it makes even the most uncoordinated teammates know who to attack

43:33 Pyke also gives you camoflauge and we all know how irky any form of invisibility can be

Hey Vars, I love your content. I usually use it as a podcast in the car. However in both cars, one with a really good sound system, the audio sounds really deep, lots of bass I guess. Which makes it hard to understand sometimes. It even sounds like the speakers are resonating on the good system with not that high of a volume. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

Rakan's W is not just solid its good as f**k. Yes you acknowledged its an aoe cc. But you underestimate how useful it is. You compare it to pantheon W but Pantheon needs a target in order to dash, Rakan W does not. You can use it to deep ward safely or escape from situations most champs would need flash to escape from. Its a get out of jail free card on top of being great CC. As a Rakan main i am biased but i think you undervalue how great his W is

Akshan W makes SO much more sense when you give it to Teemo. (minus the revive part.) Could make it so he's camouflaged out in the open, then gets true stealth only in bushes.

I don't like being that guy. But may want to reevaluate some of the champion placements. Example: In what universe is taliyah's nondamaging w even in the same sentence as ziggs's satchel, much less better? Satchel nukes turrets, knocksback enemies, pushes ziggs forward to even go over walls, and almost files his taxes for him.😂

Next do most OP champion emotes Jax fishing emote has to be S+

In the wiki, the burrowed skills of Rek'Sai are considered part of the W, so I think it'd be a lot better

I imagine if League had game modes like LoD from old Dota. Where you choose abilities from random heroes you are given and build your unique combo. I know it would be hell to balance but so much fun.

Imagine having a gamemode where you o could choose your own abilities. Personally I would take Vlad passive, evolved khazix Q with Sion W and than prob Riven E but am not sure and for the ult i would take karthus R

Man you know would be a good game mode. Okay imagine Hwei can transform to any champion stats and his passive can be any passive in the game, q can be any three q of any champion, w can be any three w, e can be any three e, and ult is any ult in the game. You basically make your own champion before you enter the game and let it run loose and see how creative people can get.

Senna’s W has the hidden passive of letting your team know who is about to be CC’d so they can act accordingly

59:00 it also lock on the nearest ennemy including minion if you didn't threw your q before on the champ so you cannot use it effectively in a wave without q, and same for turrets, you kinda want to get turrets fast with the purge + autoreset to optimize damage but you can't if there is a wave coming. i would downgrade to solid tbh

Thought cho W wil place high. Because of silence np its his fate like not getting rework or some visual update.

"I don't understand botlane" Vars be true to his word lol, same with jungle

The infamous "booty" Shen W that is literally AOE invisibility against some team compositions

Gnar’s hyper would be wild on ap Shyvana

I love these ranking lists !!!! Keep bringing them :D

As a rengar main I gotta say you missed when you forgot about some insane ap aoe damage as well as 50% on any damage in the the last burst could be a 500 health heal pretty often. Crazy ass ability

Now we need a game mode call reverse yuumi, where the whole team attaches to that parasite and they duke it out.

the only one i disagree is zoes W, it's def a top 10 skill, it has no CD and no mana cost, the only limitation is that you need someone to use a summoner spell but you can charge it by farming a wave, it counters flash since if they flash away you can pick up the flash shard and flash after the enemy with a movement speed buff, if they ignite you, you can ignite back if they heal you get a free heal + a ms buff, and if they use any active item effect you get a free item activation, on a chaotic team fight it's a permanent ms buff + dmg, it only doesn't shine on zoe since her kit is literally built with her W as an extra unecessary skill, she can literally function with her E,Q and R and the W is just an extra skill, if it was a champion like an assassin or a diver that forces the enemy to actively use summoner spells to survive this W would be insane on a lot of champions

How did you put Nilah w above Gwen w? Dodge plus 25% magic damage reduction somehow beats out immunity to almost all damage and crowd control plus huge stacking resistances for everything else?

How bonus attack range and % damage is a niche move?? lol

i cant see why you put wukong's clone over sett's 2k true damage nuke + shield

This video is the best W for sure.

Vars upload ❤ Hour long tierlist :(

Tbf Viktor's W is an amazing dissuasion tool. Viktor loves keeping his opponents at a distance and it does a good job allowing him to Q E R and Auto from a range.

You forgot to mention that maokai's w also make him untargetable and invulnerable, amazing for dodging abilities

thanks for saying 'watch out! eep!' vars uwu

Didn't have time to watch all of this but if it includes ability passives.... I don't even want to think about Fiddle Q on alot of other champs... (Yone)😂

I'd say it's a pretty solid video

Twitch w slow scales on AP, i think it's still the only slow that can be 100% slow That doesn't make it better, but in some characters will be amazing

Tristana's W is good af. Remember that it resets on takedown too, imagine that on an assasin.

I was fully expecting kogs W to go in Top10 and then it went in niche. Any auto attack champion (ADC or melee) would kill for that ability

I still want the Q list 😅😅😅

I’m imagining Yuumi W on Fiddlesticks, like you said. I imagine him being in a champion, it counts as unseen (until a patch), he ults, and the ult detaches you to jumpscare your enemies. And because you counted as unseen, you get the aoe fear. Suuuuper busted

Would Janna's W be ranked higher now that it's been reverted, and its bonus MS is permanent?

havent watched the video, but varus w has to be the most op one right?

Me watching vars videos about league: 😁😁😁 Me playing league:💀💀💀

Nasus W is toxic as hell but that goes both ways because it's completely invalidated by phase rush and QSS. Kayle is traditional a free matchup for Nasus, but I once played into a phase rush ghost cleanse Kayle who was impossible to kill between cleanse, phase rush, ghost, and her ult. So she ended up just turbo carrying later. Tryndamere is also usually a free matchup, but I played into one one who ran also ghost cleanse and built mercurial scimitar (QSS). Legit impossible to kill / pressure and in fact he would have a much easier time killing me. But yeah, you're right that it's mostly "fine ish" because it's on Nasus, who relies a bit too much on W and ult to actually do anything.

You forgot that Akshan's W has Warwick W Blend into it with Stealth, AND ofc the revive

We love vars

How nasus is not number 1? Excluding special interactions like zed or yuumi nasus' w makes you win every 1v1. In midgame+ there are like 5 or less champions in the game that beat nasus in 1v1, and 2 of them are because they cleanse the w, mastery y and olaf

I think you forgot the fact that only Briar can stop her W, all other champs would be stuck with it for the 5 seconds, which means... Lots of towerdives

Sett w had a build based around it. It can do over 4k damage in a normal game if you get over 400 ad and 4k hp, which isn't that hard with heartsteel steraks, titanic, cleaver. I mean this is by far the best ability in the game because it is the 1 shot ability. You talked about losing match ups because things like wither. Sett w wins games.

Legit didnt mention how good the MS bonus on Ahri's W is :

HE SAID IT!!! HE SAID "WATCH OUT EEP!"

Sona W and Seraphine W are definitely too high while Janna's too low imo. Seraphine's W has horribly long cooldown and without the double cast, the shielding is kind of mid. Sona's W, without her passive, has horribly high cooldown. Janna's W gives her a lot of passive movement speed, making her much better for getting around the map quickly. Not sure though. I'm kind of very low elo, so I could just be flat out wrong, but this is just how I felt.

Oh my god he actually said it.

Bountiful Harvest only on Useable ? I'm offended !

Indisagree with your placing of Rakan w because it's not only a good engage tool but also good escape tool.

Nidalee's bushwhack isn't terrible at all ! It gives vision on 2 different occasions which is more than useful, often lifesaving in her risky gameplans. And that's on top of other purposes such as landing a spear with more ease, clearing faster etc Also she has a cougar W that's a nice ability too :)

blitz w: *goes brr and then slows themselves* akshan's W: (could technically revive your whole team as a passive)

1:00:00 o E da Vi aplica em vários oponentes simultâneos, o da Vayne não, são no mínimo no mesmo rank

this video proves that some abilities are balanced by the fact they're on that champion. give it to any other champion and they break the game

Rengar W is severely underrated here.

irelia w is pretty much yi but does damage and still up even if cc, two are pretty close so i feel like that yi w should be rank higher.

your ability to name almost every ability correctly is amazing

tarics W copies his Q,E and ult, it's a crazy ability

I have to hard disagree with Ekko W being only usable, it's an excellent setup tool for dive champions that can close a huge gap on you like Camille and Jarvan. The fact that not only it's an AOE stun that lasts 2.25s but it also gives you a small shield is inasnely good on so many champions.

Abilities that aren't niche: Yi: Squishy can just survive burst with a well timed w. Mages will never have to worry about health issue. Kog'Maw: Any champion with this ability would just become an onhit champ, it has too much power. Warwick: For laners, once you get the opposing champion to below half hp, they cant trade with you anymore, can also see enemy jg if they low hp, can be used to get back to lane faster, either passively or actively. Rammus: should be a similar rank to Leona w, any tank with this is unkillable during it, any squishy with it can just become immune to most assassins during it. Abilities ranked too low: Trundle: 110% AS! 52% MS! you literally get 3000+ gold of value with 1 button. ANY adc can just build full AD now and rely on this for AS. melee AD champs are broken with this as well. Should be top 10. Even some ap champ may want the MS andn healing. Azir: melee champion can now cs/poke at range. Probably aren't that good on AD melee due to no AD scaling, but tanks will love it since their auto do way more dmg now. Vi: Similar to Trundle but not as powerful. Most AD champs would want this. Damage, shred, AS all on one ability. Nocturne: spellshield + 40% AS, up to 80% with block. Any ADC is sivir now with AS to boost. Fidd: gives too much AOE damage + healing. Kled: Any AD jungler would love this ability. Obviously you wanna use abilities on cd while clearnig anywawys, and ganking with kled w would pretty much instakill any laner if you have gapcloser (and most AD junglers do). Abilities too high: Shaco: sure its annoying, but honestly boxes aren't all that powerful. Jayce: Ranged w is good on most AD champs, but melee w is way more niche - the damage part will only work if you are melee (and the base damage ain't that high), and there aren't many melee ap champs to make use of the ap scaling. Mana regeneration is also overrated. Twisted Fate: Champions not building AP wouldn't want this abiltiy. melee champion cant make use of gold card well, manaless champions cant make use of blue card well. TF is already one of the best synergizers with this ability. Taliyah: No unraveled earth means it will just be a flick with no dmg - pretty bad.

Okay, you need to put Cho'Gath's W into Top 10 abilities. Any mage would kill to have a 70% AP ratio spell with a 2 second silence attached to it. Hell, if it got transferred over to any other tank, they'd like it too. Junglers, supports, that shit is crazy fucking broken. If your criteria allowed the spell's ratio to be adjusted when on an AD champion to something like 50% bAD scaling, it'd be broken on them too. The cooldown is goofily short too, scaling linearly down from 13 seconds to 9 seconds. It has busted as hell based numbers too, starting at a modest 80 base, ending out at a mind bending 300 base damage. If you swapped Feral Scream onto any ranged champion, you'd be hard pressed to find more than a handful that are sad about that change. Lux trades out 2 small shields in a quick burst for a shotgun silence that one shots any assassin who dares to fucking try her. LeBlanc goes from a mobile AP assassin to a short range battlemage, and her ultimate would allow her to chain silence you for 4 seconds, dealing 300 damage in a cone, TWICE, without even factoring in the 70% AP ratio. She'd also have safer wave clear. Annie literally just gets an upgraded version of her own W, coupled with her passive would grant her a stun AND a silence. The only downside to Cho'Gath's Feral Scream is the range. 650 unit range on an artillery mage is a huge letdown, but in lane phase, this is crazy oppressive into any melee matchup. The silence at level 1 is 1.6 seconds, it's just so goddamn busted. If you lead with this spell against any spell-reliant champion, you've dealt unpunishable damage to them on a 13 second cooldown. By level 9, once you've maxed this ability, it will be a 300 base damage, 2 second silence on a 9 second cooldown, with 70% AP ratio. This is aids.

The problem with these types of tier lists where the abilities ranked in a vacuum is that it doesn't mesh well with the title of the video. The video should be actually called "Which champions have the best abilities" instead of "which abilities are actually the best"

Renewal doesn't just extend the root it gives a huge heal

I think with gwen, her w should give damage reduction instead of immune for outsiders

Milio's W is niche?

Remember when shroud worked on towers? Lol

i don't understand why is heimer's w in solid when it's only damages but brand's is only usable because it's only a damage tool, like no logic here

Swain W lets you stop recalls, get out of a chase, gives stacks, covers half the map, I wouldn't put it in nieche.

kinda weird Gwen's w isn't in top 10

Morgana's W was placed too high. You thought it gets reduced cooldown, but that requires her passive. It's only a slow aoe burn with a long cooldown.

Why is Kog’Maw in situational but Neeko gets pretty good? Neeko gets bouns magic damage every third auto with a 60% scaling. Sure it is always active, and it has the defensive aspect of the active. But Kog’Maw gives 210 bonus range and 6% max HP magic damage per hit ( +1% per 100 AP) sure it is an active but after you hit the button you get the stats for 8 seconds which is plenty long. Mages would not mind it because it makes trading against them impossible and deadly in the early game if I slap 3% of your HP with every auto. And they can then build Nashers to commit to it which by itself raises the on hit damage by 1% and gives a load of attack speed. Also Ability haste so the down time between W cast is shorter. It is every ADCs dream assuming they give a shit about auto attacks. Imagine Caitlyn with 860 range with 6% max HP magic damage for 8 whole seconds. Or Jinx rockets from fishbone doing AOE max health damage (if Jinx AOE do on hit). Melee auto attackers would eat as well. Jax may lose an auto reset but who needs an auto reset when he stuns you stacks lethal tempo/passive then doubles his attack range for 8 seconds. Briar might like it but her kit revolves around her W so moot point. Only really tanks and enchanters don’t want it unless their W is important to their kit. Just because the ability scales with attack speed well does not mean you need to build on hit and attack speed items to use it.

As an urgot main. I'd say his W is niche. Because it doesn't do onhit effects. So Bork. Kraken etc don't work on it. And only a few passive as stated like darius WOULD be good. But losing 66% damage may not be totally worth it.

You know basically all W names without consulting anywhere. This is definitely a feat

Kogmaw W is literally what makes the champ combined with his Q The other 3 abilities are literally replaceable and kog would still function like he does Can't wait for his rework honestly No but serioulsy, 200 range + %max health on hit magic dmg is so broken that it makes him able to build tank builds

Imagine Ahri with Zilean W. Double charm, double orb. Evil.

One question now is , if the spaghetti code from LOL allowed what would be the most broken combos of QWER passive , with the condition of not more than one from the same champion?

Nah, most of the "niche" abilities should've been higher.

Ain't no way ekkos possible 5man stun loses to braum dash
