In the history of League of Legends, many champions have been created, and quite a few names have been reworked each year. These champions have different strengths and skill sets. Meanwhile, Riot always has policies to adjust power levels to fit the meta and community feedback.
However, there are still champions that make League of Legends players “scream in frustration.” Not because these champions are too strong, but because they are poorly designed by Riot. In a recent post surveying “Which champion is the worst designed by Riot?”, the community pointed out three champions that must be on the list: Yuumi, K’Sante, and Zeri.
Yuumi
When mentioning Yuumi, many people immediately think of the cat-shaped champion, primarily played in the Support position. Basically, Yuumi’s skill set is not particularly strong as it only includes crowd control, healing, and slowing down, as well as boosting the movement speed of the champion she attaches to. However, the attachment mechanism frustrates many players. Most players choose Yuumi just to have time… afk.
In many situations, Yuumi doesn’t even help her teammates and can put the entire team in a 4v5, 1v2 situation. However, Yuumi remains a controversial champion as many players believe that Yuumi is actually fine, and the issue lies with the players.
Zeri
Frequently paired with Yuumi, Zeri is viewed as the “destroyer” bot lane duo, haunting the League of Legends scene. For Zeri, her strengths include: extremely high mobility, the ability to scale power directly in fights, and being a late-game powerhouse. Additionally, Zeri holds the record for the most adjustments by Riot, receiving 12 changes in just six months.
It can be said that Zeri is too strong in the Bot Lane. Particularly, she can synergize with virtually all types of Support champions. Therefore, Zeri continuously appears in matches, both professional and casual, as a first pick or first ban.
K’Sante
When mentioning K’Sante today, many players might recall the “legendary” line from ShowMaker. Clearly, K’Sante is born as a Fighter, but he possesses everything that a perfect League of Legends champion can have: damage, tankiness, mobility, ability power, attack damage, and crowd control. In short, K’Sante is currently the most versatile champion in League of Legends, but he is also considered one of Riot’s worst designs.
Particularly, K’Sante’s ultimate ability transforms him from a Fighter into an Assassin with incredible damage and crowd control capabilities. Thus, many players admit: “When playing K’Sante, I feel this champion has no weaknesses.” K’Sante has also been a popular pick and ban since his release.
