How do most people level skills on kayle? Any variation that I do seems like it should be better than it is... I usually play kayle Q,E,W,?,?,R The rest is kinda dependent. Q is a nuke/slow but it also helps your E W is a heal and a pseudo escape mechanism. (speed buff) E got nerfed in the last patch, but it's still quite good. R is pretty godly. Get it whenever you can. Look at their team and if they are focusing you then I'd invest heavily in Q and W because they won't let you stand there and hit them. (still get 1 level at LEAST) If they let you sit in the back and be a hero then go ahead and max E and maybe split between Q and W. (Remember though Q gives you a % Damage increase!) Also remember that Guinsoo's rageblade is super core and if i enough money I even get it before boots. Nashors is also a great item. I play kayle... different waiting for the LoL forums to come up because I think theres no guide on how I play her and if so I"ll post it somewhere but I usually start with E just because it lets me stay defensive and still last hit harass champs that come too far forward. So I usually go EQWEWR then keep E one level above Q and keep levelling W steadily I go nashor before guinsoo actually but yeah guinsoo and nashor are both great on Kayle Haha that's closer to how I play her but I like a little differently still. I agree starting with E is best. I like to leave Q at level 1 though because I'm happy with the snare and damage increase it provides at level 1. I don't care about how much damage it deals. Then the decision is between W and E. Obviously if your team needs you to heal, get your W up. Otherwise, getting E up is what will increase your damage the most. By the time team fights start happening, you can have it at level 5 to really do some good damage. And of course, the higher level it is, the more often you can have it up, to the point where at level 5 with some CD reduction you can almost constantly have your E up.
The reason I say I play kayle "... different" is I build her full utility masteries for the extra cooldown reduction with a few CD reduction runes and then once I get my fast Nashor I can keep Kayle pretty much under perma effects of E it wears off if under a second on the cooldown so it turns her from a hybrid hero to a ranged hero pretty much.

Sivir is like the strongest laner in the game. I can't imagine Kassadin giving her any trouble at all. In the time you were away, Sivir went from one of the strongest laners in the game to one of the most piss-poor, IMO. Hahah. Her and Kass haven't changed much as far as I can tell. Boomerang has a really short cooldown, I don't know how Kass would out damage her straight up maybe just auto attacking, but if you eat his spray; his damage is going to be bad after that, because he can't build charges 1v1. The laning phase would have to last awhile before Kass would over take her according to my old school math, but like you said It's been awhile. At any rate, even if Kass gets a kill on her, Sivir should be richer...
Well, you may have missed my answer post about Kass vs Sivir, above, but...
They remade W on Tuesday's patch so that it has an activated effect that gives armor pen and charges pulse. In conjunction with Q + Shield + W you fairly instantly get 3 charges as well as armor pen, and autoattacking also gives you mana returns. His base damage is also higher than Sivir.
Edit:
At level 6 you can force shield with Q, W, R, and if she boomerangs you get an instant 5 charges for Pulse. That's assuming you start with 0. If she doesn't boomerang she just gets owned by your superior autoattack. It's pretty funny, and bizarre.
Bear in mind if she doesn't block Q, and you have E ready, during silence you can easily R E W and autoattack, so she doesn't have a choice at that point in the game.
Edit2:
Another funny thing about the matchup is, if you catch her near maximum E range, and immediately run, she can't autoattack you. o/
|
The movespeed that the heal grants you midgame is invaluable, though.
|
North America server seems to be working now.
|
If you are in mid the heal is definitely a crutch. I'm only level 20 so the heal is more of utility for my entire team. Especially last week when Kat was free. I usually let one of the other amazing pubs take mid before they ragequit and leave me 4v5. (I'm super unbiased about soloqq)
Edit: servers up woohoo
|
I just played Taric for maybe my 3rd time ever and I feel like he needs the blue buff to really make him great.
|
game started just fine, hope this means they fixed the "Game will be starting soon" forever bug
|
Q+E with 1 level of W(your AP makes it a decent heal anyways) and play like a carry. Kayle is so beast. Also the ult 'nerf' arguably makes it better for tower diving because it's up so often, you can seriously zone people just on the fear that you are going to w yourself, q+e+ult dive.
I prefer leveling Q>E, Q works as a great poke nuke, 1 level of E allows you to grab ranged last hits against bad lanes if you need it.
Of course, if you need to play like support get your W up, Q for the slow and E only for the range. Nashors before Guinsoos is legit because you won't need blue buff to have maxed CDR(assuming 9/0/21 and runes).

I think it would be an interesting lane now I guess. A lot would depend on shield reactions. I've played Sivir like twice and both times it was solo-mid vs Ezreal, which was laughably easy. I haven't used or seen much of the new Kass. I didn't know pen made much of a difference.
She was much stronger with old rally too, so she could win the straight up auto attack fight. She IS pretty decent at keeping alive and she doesn't really need to get kills to "win" the lane. Being sloppy and eating double boomerangs will ruin your chances at getting in on her though.

Southlight, can you commentate on my play?
I know you've seen me mostly play around with teemo and yi but can you maybe help me improve my play based on my nidalee or rammus games? You probably don't remember but I did fairly well in both but I'm sure I was doing stupid things. Ima be honest, I don't really remember, because I was paying closer attention to myself (and my fail Akali) and trying not to be as much fail as I was. I think one of the things I did notice (I mentioned it a few times) was that early-game when you have an advantage, you don't seem to realize it and/or take advantage of it. Like Teemo vs Corki, that's very, very one-sided, in Teemo's favor, I think (lol how the hell do you play Corki, god I'll never figure that out). I came away impressed by your score and farmage with Rammus but it's hard to tell on my smurf whether we're playing bad people or if you're performing magic, LOL. Sorry T_T
That's why I sort of want to play with you on your main just to see how I would do :/
I'm sure me doing so well with rammus was becuase of the other team.

At level 1-3, yes, at level 4, not so much. At level 6 Sivir is pretty fucked no matter what. Shield doesn't affect Kassadin once W starts charging E, and once Kass gets 6 shield means nothing because he has two ways of popping it, and blocking Q doesn't really hurt if he just leaves it at level 1, anyways. The real threat is E and the W-assisted autoattack, but if you don't block Q (and its whole 70 damage) you just open yourself up to the full E blast, anyways. It's a lose-lose situation.

So I'm going to ride the sleeper Kayle pick to 2k elo, lets go!

kayle is awesome, I'll have to try maxing E first, I've been maxing Q first for awhile and I'm used to that :D.. but E probably make for good farming in lane
|
I only get lvl 1 of Q at first because that pretty much gives all the utility that you'll need. Then you get enough heal to have a nice movespeed. You max E at lvl 9 and then prolly max Q with 1-3 lvls on heal depending on what you need. I also would NOT get any levels on ulti until lvl 10 or 11.

I completely disagree on not getting Ulti the duration is shorter now but if your lane mate is running and a nuke is flying in on them it can save their ass. With the duration reduction on the ulti it's more about timing it well instead of just hitting it whenever someone is in trouble.
