Locke is actually so cool…and so ass

Discussion

Im gonna keep it real, I really love how this champ plays and his kit, but godam if he isn’t the most useless champ in legitimately every role. He has no chance against the “press one button and win champs” (Malahar/naafiri/vex/briar) and despite that he’s still going to get nerfed into the ground because “new champ ahh scary so broken”

Disagree all you want but the prof is in the pudding, Zaahen and Ambessa were fine for about a week and a half after release before getting nerfed so hard that you are genuinely turbo-inting troll by locking them in.

It’s bizarre to me why you wouldn’t just let your brand new hot off the press champ be strong for at least a season. Not broken obviously, just strong. Who gives a flying fuck what pro players pick anymore. We literally just had a whole tournament of mages botlane. It is a tired excuse for ruining everything remotely resembling fun outside of the same stale ass 10 champ meta.

So while I enjoy playing this guy for the last week that he’s barely even viable, say bye bye to him ever being fun to play until riot pulls their heads out of their ass.
