How 1 ITEM Broke The Balance Of League of Legends For YEARS

Today, let's talk about the most overpowered item to ever exist in league of legends. This item broke the balance of the game, broke the patch notes, and broke op champs into being impossible for league of legends to balance. Many low elo players could win with these champions and mages such as Ahri Veigar and LeBlanc were the perfect mid laners for climbing and showed how to climb in low elo. Let's talk about DFG, otherwise known as Deathfire Grasp.

I saw this video and immediately thought DFG

[tripleO]

Ah the good old days of league. Even with this broken item, season 3 and 4 were probably the best seasons we will ever have in league

[Hunterslammer]

Seeing this older game footage makes me sad. To think I never thought we’d get passed the map after the original “revamp” and grass cutting lol. Bring back the lantern for my jungles! The jungle is dark and full of horrors.

[ggitsriven]

Oh boy do i miss old leauge so much. People complain about no counterplay but they have NO IDEA WHAT THE TRUE MEANING OF NO COUNTERPLAY IS.

[sqyze]

Nothing is as broken as riven's sword

[Exil]

Small correction: misspoke on saying 35% CDR instead of 25.. my bad LOL

Let me know what you thought of this first episode of Iconic Items! Thinking about doing one next on Force of Nature since I was reminded of that item because of TFT. Hope you enjoyed!!

DFG smurf Leblanc with all AP rune page and 20×stack soul stealer.

Good time

I remember when DFG was added. I thought it was so hard to use. Back then I was a noob. So I never bothered getting it.

I remember walking into my own jungle and all I saw was a viegar trap and a spark of the DFG and my 3400 HP singed died in one combo. That happened 9 years ago. It's still in my memory.

Never even saw the Veigar...

[iamangelic]

I played back then, then stopped and recently started playing again . I don't remember this item though . It probably caused me severe brain damage or something

[cistafizika]

Pentakill's Death Fire Grasp was never nerf'd and Is still OP

[frozenrage]

Your work is pure quality, thank you!

[andreytuzov]

"Was op on veigar, ahri and leblanc"... <laughs in ap tristana>

[Gianfranco]

I mean... getting caught by a veigar and vladimir 1v2 you have no counterplay either they have DFG or not.

[AllenCx]

as a veigar main since 2010, i miss dfg more than my ex gf

[overcast]

To be honest, those were the times where league actually felt fun either losing or winning

[shadowpod]

10:40 Veig's R also scaled way better off of your OPPONENTS AP. His R made it worrisome to build lots of AP in your kit, because when he ulted you your AP helped kill you.

[FounderBR]

This video seemed to be a documentary about League, very cool, I liked it

[godsdemons]

You missed something crucial, DFG was so good, it took a champion that was intended to be a brawler, and made him a mage, Mordekaiser. With DFG Morde used to be able to one shot the enemy ADC, then Zhonyas, and let the enemy ADC kill the enemy team.


Good times.
