Official Champion Design Rant Thread

[quote=jamespongebob]Tbh I'm not really sure where the stigma of [[teemo]] being the most hated champion in LoL came from.[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm][quote=jamespongebob]Tbh I'm not really sure where the stigma of [[teemo]] being the most hated champion in LoL came from.[/quote] Mushrooms induce rage. Teemo's laughter induces rage. Him being adorable as shit while stomping your ass with poison darts induces rage. He's annoying by design, much like [[Shaco]]. which means he's automatically hated. Teemo being adorable feeds this hatred further because by instinct you don't feel like you should be being beaten by a 2 foot rodent shooting darts at you.[/quote]

[quote=Jimmydoggga 2.0]1. His laugh 2. His mushrooms 3. He's invisible 4. He has a blind. 5. People play him ADC and think its a good idea.[/quote]

[quote=Thatdudeinthecotton][quote=Jimmydoggga 2.0] 5. People play him ADC and think its a good idea.[/quote] If I remember correctly, wasn't this like all the range in the LCS sometime in season 3 for like a month or something? Or am I just having fever dreams?[/quote]

I also mained Nasus for quite some time, and still love playing him from time to time if I new the matchup works. Thus, with Teemo quite possibly being the number 1 counter to Nasus, my hatred towards him grew much, MUCH faster then it did for other people.[/quote]

You can outsustain his harass with [[Doran's Shield]] and [[Negatron cloak]] alone.[/quote]

Wither alone makes it easy to catch up to him.[/quote]

[quote=king boo311]Idk if I missed something, but Cassiopeia's lore makes me feel like she would've been more bruiser like: "Dazed, she fell upon a group of horrified servants, rending them limb from limb in a heartbeat." TBH, I think her kit is cool and fits the snake type very well - it just seems poorly explained. Her outfits are pretty cool imo. Gameplay wise - I really like her playstyle of chasing / kiting, like a snake chasing prey or slipping out of deadly situations. Her ult feels really out of place character design-wise. It's like they only put it on there to reference Medusa - which is cool, but again very unfitting.[/quote]

They mostly use overdone tropes (ex. Plant woman, "Black widow", Snake woman). Although I do kind of have a soft spot for [[cassiopeia]] because I do enjoy playing her and she came first. I really like all of her skins too.[/quote]

[quote=jamespongebob]Not related to the four champions, but have any of you seen the Headhunter [[caitlyn]] splash art? It's like wtf it looks like a completely different person. Also, what's with her head placement? [center][img=http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140815064026/leagueoflegends/images/a/ad/Caitlyn_HeadhunterSkin.jpg width=500][/center][/quote]
