Formerly OP LoL Champions
22 Guides · A New One Every Sunday
Old Akali
She was standing right there. You just couldn't see her, and neither could your turret.
Read this one →Every League of Legends champion who's ever been genuinely oppressive eventually stops being that. Riot reworks them, or one patch quietly takes away the single thing that made them terrifying, and a whole kit leaves the game. The people who played against it remember. Everybody who started later has no idea what the fuss was about.
Formerly OP is our record of those kits. Each post covers one champion: the years they ran the game, what the old version actually did to you, and the patch that finally ended it. Here's the rest of the archive, most recent first.
Old Skarner
There was nothing to dodge, nothing to cleanse and nothing to press.
Old Soraka
You could win every trade in that lane and still lose it.
Old Shaco
Old Shaco never cheated. The rules just kept making exceptions for him.
Old Tryndamere
The lower you knocked his health, the more often he crit, and then he simply refused to die.
Old Yorick
He stood in the wave healing off his ghouls, and the lane never gave you a way out.
Old Pantheon
For nine seasons his spear could finish a carry from across the map, and Riot barely nerfed any of it.
Old Warwick
Drop below half health and he could see you through fog from most of a screen away.
Release Vayne
Her damage read your health bar instead of her build, so buying armor made it worse.
Old Heimerdinger
Six turrets that kept shooting after he died, and a blind that ran three and a half seconds.
Old Vladimir
No mana bar, no cast time worth dodging, and two seconds where you couldn't touch him.
Old Darius
The fight didn't end when he killed your carry. It reset, and then he picked somebody else.
Old Udyr
He had no ultimate, no dash and no crowd control worth the name, and he still ran the entire early map.
Old Rengar
He picked a bush, waited, and removed you from the game before your screen finished showing him arriving.
Old Jax
He didn't block your attacks, he simply never got hit by them, and the game had a statistic for it.
Release Graves
An AD carry who traded like a bruiser, and bot lane never forgave him for it.
Season 6 LeBlanc
She burst you down, then more LeBlancs appeared and did whatever they wanted.
Old Master Yi
One kill was never just one kill. It reset the whole kit, and then it was your turn.
Old Release Xin Zhao
He showed up on release day already capable of 1v5ing a lobby that had no idea what hit it.
Old Evelynn
For eight straight seasons you couldn't see her coming, and that was the entire point.
Old Nidalee
She was killing dragon before your jungler even reached the pit. That was Tuesday.
Old Twisted Fate
Has the magic gone out? A global ultimate, a free stun and a card that paid for itself.
If you'd rather read about champions who are strong right now instead of ones who used to be, the solo queue tier list ranks the current patch, and the counter guides tell you who beats them. The Top Ten archive has more reworks, more history, and a lot more arguments.
