While League of Legends developers have provided players with a wide variety of tools to learn all about how the game works, Much of the most established knowledge has been created from the emotions of the community. A totally unreliable source of information that makes it nearly impossible to decipher myths, forcing us to memorize and repeat seemingly obvious real results. However, much of this ancient wisdom is very negative for our performance. To illustrate this, we will focus on two particularly interesting cases.
The Most Deceptive Champion in League of Legends
Tristana is one of the most misunderstood champions in League of Legends. Almost since launch, he’s been hailed as one of the best endgame characters in the game. Repeat regularly. Of course, there’s a good reason behind that, and it’s because his passive cheats trick you into thinking the champion’s attack range improves as he levels up. But that’s not enough to justify him being one of the best endgame characters.
Tristana is a great champion, but not because of her late game stature. The Champion starts with a 57.2% win rate when matches are over in less than quarter time, and this rate drops linearly to its lowest level when the time is between 30 and 40 minutes. Granted, there’s little upside at this point, but not enough to call for a terrible endgame. Its performance in these extreme cases (50.8%) is lower than that of Jhin, which is generally not considered good for scaling.
The problem is that as the game progresses, Tristana objectively improves at a higher rate than other champions, while the game’s systems work against her. The increase in attack range doesn’t do much when enemies can easily bypass her E (explosive charge) via spawn timers or Jonia’s various Hourglass units. It’s an effect that – due to other circumstances – can also be seen with other supposedly good game champions like Jinx, Kog’Maw or Ziggs. Half an hour later they are not performing very well, even if they are not the worst in the game.
The worst character for players starting League of Legends
Another common myth about champions concerns their difficulty. We all find heroes like Yuumi or Darius very easy to play and recommend them to Riot Games MOBA beginners. We are doing them a disservice by thinking we are wrong on both counts. However, perhaps the most terrifying case is that of a top laner who would never have shaken his bad reputation.
Again, in the face of reality, we have to assume that the champion is not exactly what we always thought he would be. There is no character for beginners, but only the most experienced players can play it well in ranked games. Also, the rise is regular and the operation is all the better as the player is experienced in it. In fact, he ranks highest on special League of Legends ranking lists, occupying advanced positions that we probably wouldn’t have considered if we were feeling alone.
As for the Yuumi we’re talking about, its performance is (more or less) above all ranks in the game. Riot Games has made it clear time and time again that this champion has one of the steepest skill curves in the game.. This means that the more you play with him, the bigger his win rate increases and he is one of the most popular champions in the game.
