You talk as if every game ends in 25 minutes and never leaves the lane phase.

I've been using Garen lately in my matches as the tank, and he's been great.

Use the silence on an AP champ, and exhaust on an AD one. That really downs their damage while the rest of your team kills them.

My choice would be... Cho'Gath.
A lot of people prefer other tanks, when he has a solid jungle, 3-second AoE silence (shutting down casters for 3 seconds can easily win you a gank/fight), knock-up+slow, and a health/size steroid via Feast that makes him very easy to tank with. Cho'Gath is really good when played properly.
Pro Tip: If you have 6 feast stacks, use Feast when a target during your combo to kill them sooner and not steal the kill for yourself. Being able to instantly during the fight into 5v4 is a good thing, while most Cho'Gaths save their Feast for kills despite already being at 6 stacks.


SPECIFICALLY jungle Cho'Gath methinks. It seems like everyone plays him top lane, because he's a great laner, but he's also a top-tier jungler. Great ganks with a knock-up, silence AND MASSIVE NOM NOMS. Can eat up jungles after 6, too. NOM NOM THEIR BLUE. Iz tru. Cho'gath be under-rated.

And as far as underrated v.s. underplayed, I'd say they are quite different. Some people just don't play champs because they aren't cool, or their play style isn't that fun. Not necessarily because they are underrated. If a champion isn't fun to play, who's gonna play him? Like... ugly characters are played less than cool-looking characters, even if they are just as good.

And as far as Blitzcrank, if someone can hit his rocket grabs consistently (a.k.a. 90% of clutch grabs rather than 70% of all grabs), he can be pretty ridiculous.

And Sivir isn't underrated... she's just not good. lolol. Other AD carries are better. end of story. No underrated about it.

I'm always disappointed to see people say Karma. She's not underrated, she's just bad.

Here's how it is:

She has two okay spells. Only okay. Her Q and her E are okay, but they're not OP or anything. The numbers are slightly higher than other similar spells, but remember they have 6 ranks.

She has two slightly potent spells when she uses mantra. Only slightly, and they both take good positioning to be very potent (i.e. all 5 allies and all 5 enemies clumped up and ready to be hit by Q mantra'd).

Her W (that's the speed/slow, right?) is ****. **** with mantra, **** without mantra. Not too useful for the speed/slow, and definitely not useful for the damage.

She has no ultimate, so she really has to rely on two spells.

Moreover, the 5th rank in her spells are unimpressive, and the 6th rank is slightly above average at best. You need to be level 11 to have one very powerful spell, whereas most champs at level 9 have one powerful spell and at level 11 have another point into their ultimate.

Karma could be good with a numbers change, but they have to make her W zilean W-strength and much better at level 1 (who maxes it first, anyways?), and the 6th rank in all her spells has to be OMGWTF strong.

Nidalee is UP atm.

Singed is a mid game champion, if you get into late game, he's annoying, but not really that effective.

Garen is very strong right now, he just got buffed.

Heimer is underplayed, but by no means underpowered.

Sivir is kind of the same way, underplayed, but a very good laner, and a very good late game champion as well as mid game champion. (People try to build her like Ashe though, and that's not such a great idea.)


Nidalee is not underpowered. She's a top pick in high-elo and played very often for an OVERPOWERED heal, good traps, and impeccable escape mechanic.

Heimerdinger is underpowered and played at the right amount for what he brings to the team.

Sivir is also underpowered. The nerf to Boomerang Blade to lose damage when it passes through minions really crippled her.

Garen lacks a late-game. He's a scary bush-ninja, but once you see him, he's not so threatening unless his team has good initiation. (Team dependency is not a plus)

Anecdotal evidence. Player > Skill set in this case.

There's a Heimerdinger whose reached 1800+ ELO too. Doesn't mean Heimerdinger isn't in need of buffs.
It just means the player is a true master of that champion.

Sivir is bad. Riot believes she needs a small buff too.
Just because she can be played in High ELO does not make her a good choice. You can find people who play Garen, pre-nerf Pantheon, Mundos, and Twitch at high-ELO too. Doesn't mean they're viable. It just means someone's maining them or someone's screwing around.

If I could -Rep you, I would. For both assuming you're right without statistical evidence AND for asking for Rep.
