Champions With Ultimates TOO Good It Makes Them Bad | League of Legends

"Shen Syndrome" is a term I made that refers to champions with Ultimates that are too impactful it forces the rest of their kit down in power and value, ironically diminishing the strength of their ultimate. Today I want to discuss these champions in more detail and how there is such a thing as TOO strong of an ultimate.

Excellent summary on the history of Shen's balance state. Let's see what the impacts of the mythic removal of 2024 are going to be...

As a Kennen main, I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone explain his core issues as well as this video. His ultimate is so mind bogglingly strong that he’s stuck with mediocre SINGLE TARGET damage

[miguelsanchez]

If power budget is so important for Riot why does Yone's kit exists? Checkmate

[willemkmetsch]

Props to that Kennen in the Aatrox fight for actually backpedaling to allow the Rakan to e to him. Top laner understanding support's kits better than adc players as usual.

Taric's ult is POTENTIALLY amazing. If you play Taric you know most games your ult didn't really do much. There are SOME games it can revert a game but it only consistently makes you "win more".

In regards to Shen, make it semi global and rework his power budget to his other skills, I would like to see Shen mid if possible for variety sake.... Also cause Petu made him work mid

Imagine having your ultimate be your only useful ability-

This could also apply to Zeri, cause 90% of the time it's incredibly hard to have meaningful impact without her ult

[mythmage]

Now we need one for Viego, who's passive has so much potential he's not allowed to have a viable kit.

Could you make a retrospective look on the durability update? I'm curious if it changed gameplay of league by much and what champions fell out of favor

[darkstar]

I love when I’m playing Shen and my ADC walks into the unwarded enemy jungle and dies to their jungle and bot lane and my ult gets pinged because I should’ve ulted to keep him alive just to have us both die when I arrive

[slimthug]

And then there's Fiddlesticks: Arguably one of the most destructive team ultimates in the game at 750 damage 250% AP scaling ultimate rank 1, but his base kit isn't lacking either. Point and click 2 secone fear; a long range silence, and an aoe damage+heal 😁

“Adcs have comparatively less pronounced ultimates”

Jinx, draven, zeri, kalista, ezreal: hold my beer

[hqhuy]

As a Taric enjoyer, while I love his ultimate in concept because it just makes the most sense for his kit - paladin class, but I can think of a Karma shield ultimate, or a team-wide cleanse (the Millio one) that would do just fine but would make him much more consistent

[polkkakoira]

Really wish they would double down on Shen's Q and the importance on how you position it, even with a cost of nerfing his ultimate.

[arturfontenele]

I completely agree with this and Peru’s video. Shen’s ultimate is awesome, but recently it turned him into a complete support in top lane rather than the lane bully he was supposed to be. For me personally, the tp on it is in and of itself the fun on it. I wouldn’t mind making the shield very small to make the rest of kit more significant

[tioman]

I have played Taric enough to know that he is too fragile to be melee. And his ult is so frustrating too: enemies see your ulti and flee if you engage with it so your timing must be impeccable. Still like him tho

[olianims]

Then you have Dr Mundo where his entire kit, including his ult, is shit because his lvl 16 ult is so strong

[alllan]

They can buff Kennen Q to be a cone/ triangle kinda skill shot that shoots three projectiles, kind of like an Akali Q or Talon W. The middle projectile deals the most damage but the other two can go through units and stack passive as well. Just an idea, they can play with it and test it.

[caseykawamura]

Ultimates are one thing, but they are in your control. How about things like Akshans passive? or an opposite problem, briar has to be the most insane dualist in the game in order to not run it down every game.
