When starting with League of Legends, you are currently overwhelmed by 168 champions. Among them, there are some that may not be considered really good, but can cause major problems for beginners. The community on Reddit explains which champions those are.
League of Legends has a reputation for being a difficult game for beginners. If you’ve never played a MOBA before, you have to learn the complex mechanics, and in addition, there are countless champions with their own abilities.
What are Noob-Stompers
? Every LoL player often has their own nemesis, but there are also general champions that are known as Noob-Stompers
. These are the champions that beginners particularly struggle against. The community in a Reddit thread explains which ones those are.
A 67-year-old LoL player has taken it upon himself to fight against smurfs:
Which champions do noobs
have the most problems with?
In a Reddit thread, user Pumba_La_Pumba wonders which champion fits the archetype of a noob-stomper. He tells his own story, as he had major problems as a new LoL player with Heimerdinger, whom he banned every match for a long time. Heimerdinger is especially difficult for beginners due to his turrets and the gameplay surrounding them.
Another strong champion from the last season is Trundle. User Wonwill430 simply says of him: This champion requires absolutely no intelligence to play.
And that’s exactly the trick with the troll king. The motto is: Blunt is Trump
, you don’t have complex mechanics. You just hit. He is also compared to Darius, who is also strong. However, Trundle has the advantage that he is also strong with his abilities even when he is actually losing.
Another hated champion with whom beginners might have problems is Shaco. Captain_Vimes believes that players who do not understand vision and overextending have great problems with the champion, who is simply annoying with his invisibility.
Another champion that you might encounter as you climb the ranks is Zed. Capek95 says that the more he sees Zed, the more traumatized he becomes. His shadows and the ability to switch with them are a difficult technique for novices that is hard to anticipate.
Other champions discussed on this topic are Evelynn, Sett, or Illaoi. Especially the latter made my LoL life hell for a long time; if you can’t dodge well enough, her E ability becomes an unbeatable wall.
Another champion I personally see is Blitzcrank. While he doesn’t have many options, his fast hook causes panic for many beginners. Which champions terrorized you as beginners? Let us know in the comments. A certain champion was designed for beginners but hardly gets any attention today: LoL: Naafiri was supposed to be the perfect champion for beginners – Now hardly anyone plays her.
