Kassadin is melee and Vlad is ranged the last time I checked oh true, so I guess when they both get to the lane at level 1 and right click each other, vlad probably hits him once or twice before Kass can even stack attacking him with his nether blade. good point. | ||

I mostly go amumu, sometimes annie mid and try to carry my team, but I just end up with 50% win because, well, half the time you get a shit team and the other half you get a less shitty team. I try to converse, tell them to watch for ganks, call ss all the time and ping the map like a madman trying to get them to do shit, but ultimately it doesn't matter. Most of the games I play are either ridicilously hard wins or big fat losses. Close games are pretty rare, although I feel this is where my amumu can actually make the difference. A win or a loss in solo-queue is so incredibly team-dependent that it's starting to make me hate this game. | ||

A win or a loss in solo-queue is so incredibly team-dependent that it's starting to make me hate this game. well, because over time good players win more and bad players lose more. I mean, it's not perfect, anything with a team game going in without a full team will have a luck factor, but if you play above your current Elo, that gives your team an innate advantage, which over time will lead to more wins so that you get to the appropriate level. part of your problem is that you're playing AoE disablers, whom are reliant on their teammates to do well. They both also blow at killing towers which means if your team doesn't know how to immediately push a tower after a teamfight win, you can let games slip out of your hands. Just play kayle and rice for 22 minutes to get GRB + Nashor's and then start raping everything. That way, when you win a teamfight, you can just solo push a lane all the way to their inhib in like 10 seconds. | ||

Honestly I just finished some awful games myself, it's really frustrating to go mid with trist and just hear ppl get killed in the sidelanes over and over. | ||

TOOPLARK'S "WINNING SOLO QUEUE" GUIDE 1) Pick a jungling ganker (ex. Warwick) or a good snowballing carry(ex. Ezreal). 2) Be good with him. 3) Tell your team what to do POLITELY. | ||

It's quite different since she has a mobility skill and no mana cost so she can spam every time her cooldowns are up, bouncing blade also does significantly more damage than Kass's Q and applies healing reduction. Kassadin doesn't have anything good vs Vlad, Vlad can just harrass him like crazy and he has nothing vs him. | ||

After Kass does that he has nothing for the next 9 or so seconds and you just attack him over and over. I don't think I've ever played vs a good Kassadin though since I've forced them all off the mid lane before lvl 3 or 4 though, so I probably don't know what a good one would do vs that. | ||

Runs out of exp range with about 2/3 hp is what usually happens, after which I just deny him, depending on my champion of course. If he starts running towards you it's pretty much a jackpot and you can just kite him until he's inside your minions and then kill him, or then he runs away when you can get more hits in. Assuming you have some kind of regeneration and lanestaying, the Q spam doesn't do anything | ||

It should cover everything you need to know to give it a go and its a very entertaining playstyle. Probably not best for new players but if you have played for awhile this can be very effective. It was written in the last week and so all information is up-to-date and will be maintained as such. http://leaguecraft.com/strategies/guide/7106-kazuokiriyama-s-competitive-guide-to-season-1-twisted-fate.xhtml Please rate if you get the chance as otherwise guides tend not to get read which is a shame considering the hours people put into them, Thanks.

[edited because i messed up my colors massively]Hi, I disagree with some parts of your item build. I believe that Guinsoo Rageblade is an extremely important early item, and that Nashor's Tooth also synergises with the Rageblade and your abilities perfectly, enabling you to nearly perma-stun or slow people along with more E procs. I think that those items along with Lich Bane should be the core. Maybe you could give it a try sometime. I also disagree with your skill build and think that you should get at least one point of E earlier, although I'd probably max it after Q with only one point in W early.

ok, let's put it this way... Kass's Q has stupid range, like, really really dumb range. It outranges all auto-attacks aside from high level trist and pretty much all non-skillshot nukes. What Utah's gonna do is sit there dancing behind his creeps playing a game of chicken with you, when you go for a last hit, he's going to shoot you with a Q while you're in your attack animation, then back out. When you choose to make an issue of it and just forego last hitting to fight with kass, you're forcing yourself to fight him amongst his creeps, which will draw creep aggro onto yourself, and in the meantime, he's taking 15% less damage from your skill based harass because of his imba passive plus he'll burst you about as hard as an equally leveled Annie up until level 6. These are losing exchanges, especially since SoS is giving him unreasonably high regen, which along with his built-in IMBA ability mitigation passive makes fighting attrition vs. Kass a losing proposition. I understand that Vlad's a great attrition fighter, but I think against Kass, you can't really fuck with him without taking more than you give him. | ||

What Vladimir can NOT do, and this is more-or-less the case with every autoattack hero, is autoattack Kassadin. If you try, I will let you, and you will tank all my creep. Believe me I win out on this one. Once I hit 3-5 my Q becomes strong enough that Vlad's regen + life steal cannot compensate for the damage being taken, and it continues to snowball until level 9 where Kass' Q hits ridiculously hard. Not to mention Kassadin's base damage scales better, has armor penetration, and Vlad's spells kill himself. So by level 6 if you want an autoattack mudfight and I'm not having to tank creep to do it, you'll get it, and you'll lose. | ||

please tell me this was sarcasm. Mass dodge > dps, and massive vorpal spam lets you dominate mid. Of course it was sarcasm, detectors geez. EDIT: And yeah I still don't like his TF build. | ||
