The Champion Designer Everyone Loves To Hate

Use Code “GBAY99” for 10% off your order.

When it comes to new League of Legends champions there's one designer at Riot who's more infamous than all others. CertainlyT. From Zoe, to Aphelios, to Yasuo, to Thresh, to Darius, to the Akali Rework to so many more, CertainlyT has influenced League of Legends in ways that no other individual ever has. Many people hate his champions for being the most broken OP champs in game (200 years memes and whatnot). Well he HAS created some of the most broken 200 years league of legends champions... But today I'm here to tell you the entire reason League of Legends turned into the gigantic MOBA hit it did was exactly because of CertainlyT and his work.

Bro imagine ad carries tracking the moon cycles lmaooo

[KohiKona]

"Report adc picked Aphelios on a crescent moon"

[weebie]

Without this man, Riot wouldn't have 200 years of design.

[LoneEditor]

Imagine, waking up everyday knowing you made Darius

[davevelzen]

“On release the community hated him” well, LoL players basically hate everything in existence

[xe]

Me : At least he wasn’t the guy who designed Aphelios

Gbay: Aphelios

[RawBerserker]

The man who shook a fanbase.... again.... and again.... and again. League wouldn't be League without him honestly

Me: Lemme introduce you to Season 11

Aphelios mains and Astrology girls be tracking the moon cycles together for optimal witch rituals and elo stomping

[BrontiThor]

Funny how aphelios is the last champ he worked on, yet literally every champ released after that is several time more broken than any of his creations

[LoLSouley]

you talked about the wrong mordekaiser rework, he did the "mega op let me take drake" mordekaiser

[soulofbook]

I think he would be a perfect fit for an ARPG title. He is amazing at creating diverse and high skillcap movesets that would shine in that genre without having to worry about possible counterplay.

Can we take a moment to think about the crack riot was smoking when Akali's shroud worked under turrets?

[belakitu]

I feel like he would make a wonderful game director for a single-player action game, something along the lines of Devil May Cry or Bayonetta, his champions feel right at home with what those sorta games aim to deliver of making the player feel like a badass through skill expression and mastery of mechanics

[mumble]

People love to hate him, but think of all the goddamn after-x-amount-of-hits passives/abilities we would have had without his batshit champs.

[thatotherguy]

In 2020, it's hard to believe that Darius was the character who "broke the mold", so to speak.

Good to know, though!

[vladcuculea]

His job was to create champions that would change the game overall, not to balance them, that's what people don't get.

[NinetyNineNo]

I strongly respect how much CertainlyT's pushed the envelope and been responsible for many of League's most iconic champions with the largest and most dedicated fanbases. He's definitely a net positive for the game. That said, every time I have to play against Akali as a melee champion I feel like slashing his tires.

Dude doesn't understand how to make the game fair, but he does know how to make it fun as hell
