  1. PREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACH. Delete this ability thats all. Viego is never about "becoming" other heroes anyways. Its a gimmick from the get-go and league would be better without it. Give him a full rework, basically a new ult to synergize with the okay-ish parts of his existing kit.

  2. The revive of Akshan's W is so annoying and makes no sense. A teamfight won by your team can be lost if it kills one of your carry who killed the rest of the enemy team. Some people will tell you that this is true to the lore, but for example, Aatrox's revive was removed because it was too strong and that is true to the lore. In my opinion, it should be removed from his abilities.

  3. Paused so I can guess Pyke's R, Runner up guess being yasuo and yones passive like 2000 gold value in crit for free gimme a break lmfao its why you make 1 attack damage change and all the sudden they are giga busted or vice versa.

  4. I am a gm peak, 1.3 Mil master point Viego player, and I genuinely would not care, and honestly encourage, Riot to delete Viego. I think his passive is an unbalancable nightmare, and he only gets worse and worse to play as, as they strip away everything that is fun about him. He is such a sad, pathetic loser, and I hope that Riot changes his passive in someway, perhaps by doing the AD ratio = damage dealt in body (like sylas ult) or by making it so he cannot build health like Pyke. Overall, I miss 225 auto range. Fuck you riot games. Rework viego. Thanks. ~toodles – wick

  5. alphastrike most broken hands down. it's a zhonyas that moves yi and does massive aoe damage and can get down to a literal 1 second cooldown

  6. it would be nice if viego's passive worked more like sylas's ult though where he got there abilities but their damage still scaled off his own items and stats

  7. what if instead of just watching someone die near him it was required for him to stack the passive, he is built around attack speed, so what if he has to hit someone 5 times before they die to make them leave the ghost, and them he could only be able to transform multiple times if he hit people while untransformed

  8. My brother and I were having a bit of champion concept fun with our friends around the time Kindred came out, and I put forward the idea for a champion like Viego (and a champ like Sylas).

    They said I was being retarded 🤷

  9. Viegos ultimate should've had the old morde effect where if you killed someone with it they'd come come back in spirit form for you, with like int bot ai so they can use abilities. That would have a much more regal he takes control of you feel than viego transforming into the enemy champion.

    Actually why does viego turn into someone else? Isn't that completely against his character? He's so prideful I doubt he'd want to be anyone but himself, especially because he wouldn't want ysolde with anyone else.

  10. Good vid, good points, but I don't think the pick comports with the statement "one move that breaks everything LoL stands for" as much as other choices. Viego and his passive still follows the basic gameplay idea which can be boiled down to the most basal mantra of 'Kill enemy, don't die, destroy nexus'. Still, I agree with all other points. Viego is a walking passive, and even a minor nudge to make that passive more 'healthy' could spell disaster for his viability. I personally hate that he becomes untargetable whilst channeling, but changing that would make the ability so much weaker that they'd have to buff something else and make him too broken regardless of if he completes the channel.
    However, an ability that more closely comports to "one move that breaks everything LoL stands for" is Akshans revive. There is a reason they removed revive as a summoner spell. Winning a fight because of being stronger, having better teamplay, and being more skilled (or lucky), should reward you not only with the gold from the kills, but also give you a map advantage. Otherwise, why have a death timer at all? Akshan is a character with a fully loaded kit, but on top of that, if he so much as sneezes at an enemy that has killed an ally, and they then die, he is suddenly allowed to counteract one of the few constants that we thought immutable in lol. Yes, zilean has a revive mechanic, but it has obvious drawbacks and is balanced against the rest of his kit. Akshans revive is just a passive on his W. A freebee.

    If you disagree with me then try playing aram against an akshan. In aram, winning a fight matters little compared to where, when, and how you win the fight. Now even if you get all three of those aspects right, when fighting against an akshan he can just completely negate those facts. The revive is just a crutch for an otherwise weak kit design, they should remove it and rework his lackluster ult.

  11. The only thing that I really care much about is Viego's visual design. We have way too many "generically attractive" human characters. The anime design pandering is the biggest factor in keeping people from liking new champions. Renata's design was amazing, issue is she's basically useless so no one is picking her up.

  12. on paper yes, viego's passive is awful, in practice to take over an enemy he probably had to be out of position or you had to dive to possess, and both scenarios are bad considering not many champs can deal with either, but that's where counterpicking comes in and that is something that every champ has

  13. I don't think viego should have been created, period. Most if not everything that stemmed from his existence was a mistake. I haven't/won't play the ruined king game out of integrity to my point that it was a complete waste of effort to do anything related to the destroyed incel, so I can't speak for its quality

  14. change it so viego's copy of that champion has their stats reduced by 50% + 5% for every 5m beyond 30m and + 2% every 5m beyond 50m up until 90%. Make his scaling and stats normal to compensate

  15. Personally I wish viego was more a monster made from his torment and hatred in his failure. I really wish he turned out like his monster concepts that remind me of the nowhere king from centaur world. That would have been wonderful, then blend it so we can see a scared young man in pain.

  16. if viego is 0/10 means he cant get the kill, and he is too dumb to perform him. Not to mention that he embodies the champion, who can be a squishy target getting 1 popped. Viego' s passive is not a free win like akali w, ekko ult, or just Irelia, two brothers. He is only great on teamfights, he cannot duel well, he needs a fight, there u know, people have zhonyas, ga, stopwacthes, cc, flashes. And he is a melee champion. thank god people nowadays cannot kite well, cause if u meet good range players, u are fucked.
    His passive might be the most overrated thing in LoL, and looks like it will remain forever.
    P. S. Have u forgot about yummi existing in the game? like thats a failure everyone is aware off, and accepts??
    If Viego plays bad he loses, if yummi plays bad, doesnt matter, yasuo/yone plays bad, doesnt matter 100% crit is a free win in soloq.

    Oh, and a katarina who can kill ur entire team in a blink of an eye is better than Viego's passive? C'mon Skooch,

  17. "bad viego has the capacity to do great and great viego has the capacity to be a god"

    champions that also fit the gategory Yone, Riven and Irelia

    Yes viego CAN be strong from behind if he gets the right champion from the enemy team but this also works the other way around

  18. Completely agree, I despise any ability that just say's "become target person/get target persons ability" (I also dislike Sylas but his ult was done well enough that I can stand it). I think its incredibly lazy game design and near impossible to balance, which results in the rest of the champs kit being super underpowered to compensate. I would love to see Viego's passive just reworked to something else entirely, I think it would be way healthier for the game as a whole, even if he did just become another 3-hit passive champ, which are already a dime a dozen.
