Ultimate spells are core elements of the League of Legends experience. Each here has its unique 4 spell, but which ones are actually the best ones? Well, let’s take a look at some of the best ultimates in the League of Legends realm.
Best League of Legends Ultimates
Ammumu Ultimate
Ammumu’s ultimate is a huge AOE circle that can stun each of the enemy champions at the same time. It does have an above average cooldown, however, landing this spell will completely disrupt your enemies. The greatest way to proc this spell on multiple enemies is by hiding in a place where the enemy has no vision, or flanking the enemy.
Malphite Ultimate
Much like Ammumu, Malphite has an ultimate that can affect multiple enemies simultaneously. Unlike Amumu’s R though, Malphite’s ultimate will knock up the enemies instead of just stunning them. Despite this being a small difference, it can become a major one in some situations. Take for example the games where you have a Yasuo on your team, it’s clear how having a knockup would be much more preferred.
Sylas Ultimate
Maybe you are already seeing a pattern forming here. Sylas has a perfect ultimate that, well, steals the ultimate abilities of other champions. Could you guess what are the strongest two ults this champion can obtain? Yep, those are the aforementioned Malphite and Amumu ultimates. One Sylas, the two mentioned spells are even stronger than they are on the champions they were designed for. The strength difference mainly comes from the fact that Sylas has much higher damage ratios.
Ashe Ultimate
The higher the ELO you are playing at, the more you will benefit from Ashe ultimate. Part of the strength of this spell lies in its low cooldown. Having low cooldowns on a global ability that can stun a target for up to a few seconds is quite a deadly combo. This spell is the most useful in team fighting scenarios. Getting one pick with the ultimate almost guarantees winning a game.
Karthus Ultimate
Kathus’s ultimate is a global spell that affects every living enemy champion. Karthus essentially smites all the enemies, causing them to lose a significant portion of their health. It’s perfect for getting long range kills, and significantly damaging all enemies before a team fight.
Teemo Ultimate
Teemo is another champion with quite a distinguished ult. He places invisible shrooms loaded with damage. These are great for so many reasons. They can protect his lane from enemy jungler, they can be used in the enemy territory to zone and damage enemies approaching objectives, and so on. These shrooms are incredibly powerful, especially when we take into account the amount of damage they produce.
Soraka Ultimate
Soraka’s ultimate is the benevolent version of Karthuses ultimate. Instead of damaging 5 enemies at once, Soraka will globally heal each of her allies. I think there is no need for an in-depth explanation as to how strong this spell is.
Final Thoughts
Ultimate spells are a core identity of a champion’s kit, therefore, it’s quite reasonable to explore all the good ultimate options. The greatest picks usually affect either multiple enemies at once, or multiple allies. Sometimes the ultimates will damage plenty of people simultaneously, sometimes they will impair them, and sometimes they will do everything all at the same time.
