    Ridiculous mobility making for easy engages and escapes. Extremely tanky especially when the player properly abuses her passive to take free trades. Stupid amounts of true damage to make melting even the tankiest of opponents a breeze. Her ultimate that allows for easy gank setups or to completely kill any small chance of survival for the poor soul that you set your sights on whether it be a team fight or 1v1. And oh, I almost forgot to mention that it gives you untargetability, so you can effortlessly outplay anyone’s trump card ability.

    You can bait out her passive. Its a 20 second cooldown early which means you should have a large window of time where you can trade with her if she ever uses it. As long as your are not wasting your abilities that have even longer cds on her passive then its not that hard to deal with.

    Are you serious? Camille can't win lane in isolation, you need a jungler willing to play for you, and this shouldn't happen because botlane is just the more reliable way to win games. Camille is a very good champion if you're a top-jungle duo, else its just not, especially because she has some very easy to play champions that just demolish her in lane and the later stages of the game, like Shen and Jax.

  • @shacolin6546
    @shacolin65462 жыл бұрын

    I stand by my point that, if a champion already have high mobility through dashes, they shouldn't be given movement speed bonuses on top. That goes for Camille's Q, Fiora's passive and Akali's passive, just to name a few. Punishing cooldowns is the main counterplay dealing with mobile champions. Zed and LeBlanc are very mobile, but they never feel unfair because the moment they use their stuff, they're wide open for retaliation as their mobility are either their ultimates or are close to 20 seconds. Then you face Akali and even after she uses her stuff, she's still zooming at 500+ movement speed.

    I think one of the biggest problems is that she is, yet again, another character whose kit was made to counter a specific class, that being Tanks, with all of the True Damage, %Health damage and mobility she has. That would be fine (and this is coming from an Ornn main), having characters made to counter one specific class isn't the end of the world. The real problem is that, just like Fiora, what makes them stupid strong against Tanks still makes them very strong against everyone else. It's shown very well in a few clips in this video. At 12:56, you can see Camille 1v1 an Ornn and, if I'm being perfectly honest, it was physically painful to watch as the Ornn tried to fight and got himself killed while Camille walked away with full health after everything. This clip was good for showing that she can destroy Tanks easily. That's what she was made to do so, even though I hate the idea, I'll say it's fine (although the amount she healed WASN'T fine, what the hell even was that?). The problem is that this also translates into other classes. Half a minute later, at 13:36, we get to witness a Camille start a fight at 1100 HP and, after healing around 500 HP with the Honeyfruit while being damaged by Akali, burst Akali down and comes out still at 1100 HP. At this point, it becomes obvious that Camille just simply has too much. She has very high true damage on a low cooldown and low mana cost, she has high mobility that can be used either to engage or disengage, she can shield against the main type of damage your champion deals when she engages you, she can setup a 1v1 with her ultimate, forcing you to take what is, almost always, a losing fight and, with the right items (as shown in the Akali and Ornn clips), she can lifesteal so much that she can actually come out of an extended fight healthier than she went in. A champion having all of this simply isn't healthy for the game and I fail to understand why Riot keeps making champions with % Max Health True Damage and proceeding to never nerf them in any meaningful way. I can only hope that Riot will one day listen and nerf Camille... and while they're at it maybe they'll delete Fiora from the game as well. TL;DR: Ornn main complains that Scissor Lady is too strong.

    Her weaknesses are non existent wave clear and that her all dmg is literally only in one ability that can be kitted or even completely blocked or reduced. The champ has no dps compared to average non tank toplaner and her burst is weird as well since unlike assassins it's not front loaded but delayed unless she gets to prep it on ward/minion. Her mobility is also her engage or disengage, unlike Fiora, Irelia, Riven, Akali, etc. whenever she is in she is dead to any cc unless she just straight up walked to you and still didn't use her E which is really telegraphed then. Ever thought why Jax, Fiora, Shen, Poppy, Darius, Morde are such a bad matchups for her? One just can't be hit by her dmg, the other just runs her down with her much superior dps and in combat mobility after parrying 80% of her dmg, third blocks her all dmg AND makes her unable to teamfight with hard cc, fourth makes her unable to teamfight and rips off Camille E key from her keyboard, fifth just face tanks her dmg and murders her after he forcelly extends the trade/runs her down in all in, fifth just takes her to Narnia where he completely molests Camille by existing since Camille can't kite and hit and run in his ult. Also whevever I see Camille picked I just play Akali and she can never touch me while I just one shot her level 6 on wards + outdps her as an ap assassin. Same with reason Qiyana is super good into Camille in general (not as toplaner) since one can one shot the other while the other can't even ever touch you and her only hope is to put you in a cage and hope her team can do something. In 1v1 the cage is completely useless against Qi. And the list goes on. Even a freaking Kayle is good into Camille and outscales her level 6 with fudamental spacing and kitting because of range, Q, E and R. On top of that she completely destroys Camille level 1 if Camille is dumb enough to disrespect her. The champ is good and very versatile but versatility has it's downsides in this case just like being too specialized into something.

    Camille i think is a great example of giving a champion everything they need and leaving nothing to be exploited. Champions like Aatrox, Darius, Garen, Gnar to some extent all have some very hard consequences if played badly. I have been trying Camille the past few days and while I am playing at like Low Plat to Gold I can see how a very experienced player can abuse her to the point of never losing a game. If she is played perfectly there is nothing anyone can do to stop her and I think that is good but only if EVERY champion is designed that way which in this game with that many champions and mechanics is impossible. Great vid btw love your takes in game design as I am very interested in those sort of stuff!

You can do a quick trade then leave and you'll avoid the 2nd q. If she qs a minion back off for a bit as her threat has spiked, then when it goes on CD your opportunity opens again That's what having 95% of your damage in one ability creates, which I would definitely call precision

    Camille is all about precision, timing and spacing. You are thinking of champs that just run at you and click you to death till one of you die which are mostly generic bruisers and juggernauts. If you try to do that on Camille you'll just feed. Also skillshots are overrated by most lower elo players. 99 %of skillshots in game are really easy. Spacing, timming, kitting while needing to auto every once a while is harder mechanically most of the time. Kalista, Vayne, Draven, Lucian, Fiora are one of the hardest champions im the game despite having little to no skillshots. Even on someone sonewhat skillshot reliant like Jayce it's not even the skillshots that are the hardest about them. It's the apm, timings, spacing. Jayce Q, E combo looks fancy but it's literally the easiest and straightforward part about him. You are most likely see a difference between a good Jayce and a bad one is in how they pressure you and squeze as much autos without running it down and making the most out of his ms bonuses by changing forms, using gates, not between how much QEs they hit.

If your design is all about precision, you do not need a shield since shield in games are commonly associated with committing mistakes. Shields in games are usually for giving players a leeway or forgiving players to commit mistakes a little bit. A champion based on precision shouldn't have that since it should encourage precise calculations and should not encourage committing mistakes and taking risks just because you can since you have a shield.

  • @tayanasummers

    Camille isn't broken. Overtuned a bit, sure, but not broken. Her Q is her **only** source of damage - her E's damage will do maybe 350 damage at full build, which is less than most auto attacks at that point. Her W isn't "sustain" for lane, it's like a 14 health heal in the early game due to it being 5% post-mitigated max health damage. At early levels, that's a heal of about 14-20 health at most... which, if you bought a Doran's Shield, would happen in 5 seconds anyway. Her R's bonus % max health damage is MAGIC damage, which means her Q has no interaction with it. Basically, Camille's entire kit revolves around hitting her Q's. Since she has no interaction with crit and needs to build tanky to survive long enough to hit those Q's on time, her auto attacks are on the slower end. Not only that, but, *especially* in the early game, charging up her Q is a very coordinated attack that the enemy can simply walk away from. The only way she can guarantee that second Q landing is if she wastes her mobility, which leaves her wide open for retaliation with everything on cooldown. Her shield is massive because it's only against a single damage type - most champs are designed to have a significant amount of both magic and physical damage in the early game, that alone of which can render her shield pointless. It's not useful until she starts to hunt people down in forced 1v1's, but even then, her team fight presence is on the lower end because she has no in-fight mobility or utility to give her team, like Irelia's R providing a massive zoning tool or Riven's incredible amount of CC or Fiora's team healing if she procs her ult. Camille's ult knocks people back, sure, but it only interacts with one champion after that - other divers have ways to keep zoning up or to enable utility over and over again. A solid 80% of Camille's damage comes from her Q. Maybe 15% of the remainder is just auto attacks where she can get them, and the last 5% of her other three abilities. Camille isn't broken when she's strong - she's just a little overtuned, or she abuses items that were buffed. Inherently, her kit is relatively balanced and gives Cam a lot more independence and agency over what she wants to do at the cost of wave management and team utility.

    You're proving my point - 90% of Camille's power budget is in her Q, which is time-delayed and extremely choreographed. It has plenty of outplay - and in the early game, that outplay is literally just "walk away." And Vars heavily overstates how well she scales - she isn't a hypercarry. She can't 1v9 unless it's a super high skilled player piloting her - her weaknesses in the late game are too easily exploited, since it's literally just "1v2 her," which means pretty much her entire identity is killed in a team fight since she doesn't have the same team fight presence of other top lane divers.

She also doesnt run lethal tempo, so that shows she doesnt want a full on fight. Just a quick trade and wait for cooldowns. Its a different win lane playstile than every other duelist who just wants to start a fight and run you down. As she says "patience isnt a virtue, it is the virtue". You cant rush things on camile. You miss your e and thats a crap ton of damage you just took because you cant proc your passive. Thats why she is balanced in the context of league: you cant rush things on her, and we all know league players have no patience

It's not a problem that you have a bias, but I think it downgraded the quality of the video a bit, because you mostly only told us what the *problems* were with her, not really giving her any credit outside of being somewhat difficult, like you gave to other champs you talked about.

    Whenever someone created a unit you can use in a game of competition, there must be a factor that balances them down, like a special condition or penalty so that everyone can realisticly compete against them. It's called "Power Taxing" and certain powerful things are taxed with something equivalent of their power. There's a reason why knights can only move in L, because if Knights are given better movement (like directional straight) they ended up overshadowing the Rooks despite moving for less space simply because being able to bypass enemy piece is really vital and in certain case gamebreaking because you can just position a knight to straight direction for easy king lock. There's a reason why Market Gardening is a niche strat because being able to oneshot any of the classes from full (or in certain cases Market Garden a Heavy then shoot them with your secondary for 2-shot) out of nowhere is broken and hard to deal with, because most Trolldiers would use Rocket Jumper and prevent themselves from being able to grab intelligence or deal damage with their primary, and if they commit to non kill situation they pretty much dead meat without shotgun. There's a reason why many retrains of Pot of Greed penalizes you for drawing two cards because being able to draw 2 extra resource freely without penalty in YGO is so broken that Pot of Greed itself is still banned to this day and even banned in Master Duel where some of the most powerful banned cards can be played there. In short, a character/spell/skill/attack being powerful must have its drawbacks that balances out the power they had. Power Taxing could come in multiple forms. For example, if a character is so strong then something else of them must have been weak or make those powers conditional, like if the character has strong damaging power but can't take too much damage and has long skill cast duration and/or cooldown, or if the character is very strong and resilient but practically immobile and requires you to time your blocks for counterattack, or if character is horrendously strong regardless of capability but make it so they would only be playable at the 11th out of 12 hour of the game, like the Gotoh archetype in Fire Emblem games. If an ability or skill is powerful then it should be powerful in only 1 or 2 aspects, like a very damaging attack with long range must not be completely spammable (either by cast speed or consuming resources) and/or easy to cast, or ability being spammable and easy to cast musn't be very damaging and/or having long range, if an ability have certain capability to turn the game around like a wide-ranged crowd control, then it can't be spammable and/or easy to cast. Power Taxing also needs to take account for what happened when using said powerful character or ability, like if you miss a dive in a certain character then you can't just escape willy nilly away from danger and had to take account of dealing with everything else after successful attempts. If you failed at casting that ability, you will be punished, and if you succeed, then you still can be punished by anyone who can circumvent its effect, like the ability not strong enough to score a takedown against the intended target and left you vulnerable, or successfully scoring a takedown with the ability leaves you vulnerable to any other incoming threats, its a synergy that keeps a metagame from being stale, is that everything has a condition that each every one in the can exploit with and against, like a rocket tag gameplay, but less explosive and more subtle. In short, almost every form of power taxing makes competitive game fun, because you can never be so sure that you can consistenly win every matchup because of strength and weakness of the character or ability you're using. Then there's that one form of power taxing, the form of power taxing that basically everyone hates. Some of you may already have known this, but maybe you guys didn't realize it yet. We all know them as "Skill Based Power Taxing". What's that, you ask? Well, it's basically just regular power taxing, but the entire taxing is solely based on how player handles the character and/or the abilities. These kinds of power taxing ensures that the only weakness that character or ability had is because the player handling them is bad. Skill based power taxing is surprisingly common in a lot of multiplayer games, either by making the character/ability have high numbers but make them unwieldy to control or cast unless you master it, or make the character/ability numbers low but allow them to be able to do anything they need when they have the skill. In paper, these kinds of power taxing sounds promising way too promising in fact. If a character/ability were too powerful by either having raw numbers or multipler, or the character being able to literally do anything on demand, they are balanced by having difficult to execute controls or having numbers so low it practically balances it out. In practice however, these power taxing can be easily be detracted by anyone who can master them, if not outright being nullified by said skill. So if a character/ability does have cumbersome controls, does it really matter if a pro can singlehandedly execute it in near pixel-perfect for an easy play anytime? Low numbers doesn't really matter if you can literally do anything with them, especially if they were spammable, because high level players can easily turn the weakling into utilitarian nightmare to fight against (like being able to avoid being hit at all). The taxing it provides is so lopsided in player's favor that the only reason why they aren't completely flooring the metagame is because the statistics also shows the people who loses it, which includes low-ranked players who uses them who has yet to master their 'difficulties'. This is the reason why i hate characters such as Camille, Yone, Akshan, The Aegis Twins, Chaparral 2J, Pre-nerf Reserve Pyros, Brigitte, Leroy Smith, the entire Sky Strikers, and many more high tier units but difficult to use or has low numbers (never both of them at once). Competing against them isn't fun, and you had to compete with something that's equally as broken just to keep up. They can't be fully balanced unless they have to completely overhaul them from the ground-up. They have so much power that they basically detracting the fundaments of the game and making the entire game relating to them instead of making them relating to the game. Attempts are made to basically boot them out of the metagame by nerfing them to the ground that they're unplayable or just permabanning them for competitive outright, but i just hate it that the only way they were able to balance them out is through bandaid solutions. Hey, @Vars, if you ever see this, please spread the word and tell everyone why power taxing is important and why skill based power taxing shouldn't exist.

It is a little known mechanic. Even for most Camille players. But it means, that if you are a bit more patient (and almost allowing her to escape) she gets stuck and is a sitting duck.

    I've played as, and against Camille, so I understand the frustration with her kit. That being said however, she's not broken or OP. Her huge oneshot true damage from her Q is commonly brought up, but that in it self is not the issue, since Riot basically siphoned all the damage from her other abilities into Q. Her Q2 is so much of her damage that if she were to mess up, that could mean losing her team a fight or letting a kill get away. Also, her laning phase, particularly from levels 1-8 is not exactly all smooth sailing, since she's so easy to bully without having sufficient scaling on her Q. Fiora is also not someone she wins against in lane, with her riposte effectively negating any engage Camille might want to pull.

Yes she can get stunned and easy she can get chain cc for whatever. But as a top lane one trick her power not mentioned in the video is actually pretty much split pushing and have you tried to 1v1 her solo you literally get one shot no matter which champion you are tanks adc what ever it doesn’t matter your under tower you still die.

Maybe the Poppy ult knocking her out of hers too I don't recall that interaction.
