Most characters in MOBA's have some good qualities and some bad qualities. However, there ARE those that we think are worthless. Tell me about them. Any MOBA character counts. What characters are worst for YOU?

Since I mostly play DOTA 2, my choices will come from this one.

1. Ogre Magi.

This character is UNDENIABLY fun to play. Nothing can compare to the feeling when you get 4 fireblasts on your enemy. But the very thing that makes him fun also makes him kind of bad. For those who don't know, all of his abilities are based on random chance. This hero is only useful if YOU are lucky enough to get more that 1 fireblast, or to buff more than one ally. And the stun duration of a fireblast is so damn little.

2. Keeper of the Light.

You remember how I said that Ogre is fun to play? Well, KotL is the opposite. He is boring. Boring. Booooring to play. But if only his abilities were useful, but alas. He has Illuminate spell, that creates a damaging wave, which, while good in early game, is absolutely worthless later. And, as a supporting character, he barely has anything to help his team, with only useful skill being Chakra Magic, which restores his allies' mana.

3. Batrider.

This is the character that actually made me start this topic. Some characters have great damage dealing potential, some can successfully disable or debuff one or many enemies continuously, some can aid allies and appy buffs or heals. This guy has NOTHING. He lacks attack speed and damage to do any harm to enemies and his "Sticky napalm" skill that is supposed to make him do more damage barely does anything. Same goes for his other abilities (i.e. they aren't good). He lacks any actually useful buffs/debuffs/heals to aid his team and the only disable he has is his ULTIMATE ability, that targets SINGLE enemy, works ONLY for 4 seconds and at it's max level can be cast ONLY every 60 seconds.

I love KotL, especially with his current changes. You can reduce CD with his Chakra Magic plus your wave now heals 100%.

For me, it's anything that NEEDS macro (micro?)Phantom Lancer, Meepo, Broodmother, Chen and Lone Druid. I mainly just use two control groups, one for the main and the other for the adds, Meepo aside.


I still enjoy playing them but good god. Even mainly playing against bots, yeesh.

I've been playing Heroes of the Storm recently and holy shit, Tyrande used to be the most worthless piece of shit I have ever seen in a MOBA game. That is until the very latest patch where her endearing nickname "Shitelf" was upgraded to "Mediocre-elf" because Blizz buffed every single ability she had aside from her terrible ult. I honestly considered any game with a Tyrande in it a 4v5, even when I was the one playing her. She's half decent now though, barely. Starfall is still the worst AOE spell in the world. You can sit in for its entire duration while fighting someone else and it doesn't do shit even if you're playing a squishy baby carry. Tyrande players pls, don't take it. Take Shadowstalk instead until they buff the damage.

In DOTA I suck at pretty much any hero, except Lina and MAYBE Venge. Lina is one of the closest things DOTA has to an AP carry cuz her ult is literally the "fuck you" button that anyone can fatfinger with little to no effort even under pressure and you can just max Vengeance Aura first when you play Venge then pick up your Licence to Feed at level 6.

Now I've played like 3 years of League and I still can't play Veigar. He shouldn't even be difficult but I can't do the combo properly. He's so much fun though, I even got his best skin.

Same deal with Syndra but i'm marginally better with her since her ult just picks up all of the Dark Spheres you missed and just says "fine, i'll hit them FOR you, you fucking scrub" and her CC is pretty easy to hit.
