Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning has one famously OP, Sorcery-based ability which allows players to wreck pretty much anything in the vicinity. We're talking, of course, about Meteor.

Meteor delivers pretty much exactly what it says on the tin - a devastating area-of-effect attack that rains down meteor fragments to obliterate anyone in its path.

Stack damage items and this thing is hilariously OP, capable of one-shotting the vast majority of enemies you'll encounter throughout the game.

Balance is already a major issue in the original version of Kingdoms of Amalur, given that mages are widely considered to be egregiously overpowered and it's incredibly easy to over-level yourself simply by veering off the critical path.

But once you start using Meteor, the game becomes a joke, enough that some players straight-up stopped casting it altogether out of sheer boredom. That's when you know a build is straight-up destroying a game.
