Ezreal is a great designer and if im not wrong he created a majority of the champions, all the designers are great and deserve credit not just xyph

Even if he designed the majority, that majority < the few of Xyph's champions really. Please, you call Ashe, Sivir and all the old champs interesting design wise? Sure they have improved, but still, Ezreal can only design simple and basic things, dunno about Guinsoo, but IIRC he designed Shaco, Karthus and Shen, so he designs troll champs that are made to troll the enemy team, and generally be hated and annoying.

Xyph, Coronach and Brackhar is where it's at.

Also, only Xyph actually communicates with us.

I think you guys are actually debating opinion while simultaneously not knowing who's been responsible for what champion.

its not so much the champ designers as it is the live balancing team. Whoever is doing that is doing a terrible job.

I would make a terrible lead champion designer.

For a few very simple reasons, but the overarching one is: Accessibility - None of the stuff I do has particularly broad appeal - they cater to a specific niche.

For example, despite however long I would try, I would never be able to make something like Brand or Akali - Power aside, their kits are simple, straightforward and deep.

Every champion designed by one person?

I love Xypherous' champs, but that would be pretty absurd.
