Pantheon

Yuumi (ok so its probably Rammus or something but you don't want to see me jungle)

Akshan (its pantheon again, but my Akshan is probably closer to my Pantheon mid than my 2nd best top is)

Tristana

Yuumi

What happened to the Draven

Still love him but don't play him that much anymore and definitely don't outperform Tristana on him.

If it makes you feel better, I only rocket jump forwards.

Hey /u/RiotAxes I had a random question. From the outside it seems that the LoL teams champs, gameplay, art etc… are losing a lot of people. Has the LoL team gotten smaller? or are the departures being replaced properly?

Not getting smaller.

From what angle? He's an extremely strong execution on a niche but very compelling fantasy. There are some minor issues with the fantasy itself (mainly how it interrelates to other players - he's one of the only champs in the game who gives his players a legitimate beef over kill stealing) but overall clearly worth it imo. Slightly unusual scaling (among the purest of pure AD scaling champs) requires occasional retouching but that's not a big deal.

When we're assessing success of a champion, we're looking at whether we can land them in a spot where they really perfectly serve the audience and the fantasy of the character we're making. It's not really about popularity per se. It's also emphatically not about short term balance - it's better if we can land champions on target balance-wise asap, but if it takes some time to work them into shape but we get a great delivery on the space, that's still a win for us.

From that perspective Draven's one of the 10/10 champions in League.
