Soraka stomps a lot of lanes? #1 blatant overpowered healer kthx. He still sucks as a hero though. I don't see how, his teamfighting ability is considerable, it's always been his laning that made him garbage | ||

I just think that he would be better off maxing dark matter early on so that he`s not a dead weight until his Q farm kicks in. The base damage on that thing is VERY high and it`s got great range and it`s a small AoE. Doesn't everyone max dark matter first? If you can't last hit with level 1 of Q you're doing it wrong. | ||

Veigar is one of the hardest champions to skill properly imo because he desperately needs all three skills at max level to be effective. Q maxed = lowers the cooldown and gives him somewhat of a sustained DPS potential, but you also want E for the large-burst and creep clearing whenever it`s needed, and of course the stun scales really well too. | ||

Reasons for maxing Q: 1) Mana cost doesn't scale, unlike W and E 2) Q cooldown scales, W doesn't 3) Reliable single-target harass--your ability to trade in lane is very unreliable when you have to land W or come out behind every time your opponent trades harass with you, as opposed to just being able to Q them back to match their damage. 4) Similar to 3, you won't ever land W without E against a competent laner, meaning that EVEN IF you land W, you still will probably come out behind simply because of how mana intensive W+E is. You're much more likely to have favorable trades if you trade with just Q. Simply put, W max makes you even worse off in lane, simply because it becomes impossible for you to trade effectively with anyone, and they just force you off the creeps. At best, you'll use W to instaclear the ranged creeps and get zoned of the melee creeps, and getting 3/6 minions from every wave is not exactly good farm. | ||

Why is Veigar`s CC on E but his AoE skill on W, and then with Nasus it`s the opposite. Why is soraka and sona`s heal on W, but taric`s on Q, and nidalee`s on E? WHY RIOT WHY??

You know, people max W before E on brand.... | ||

You're much likely to have favorable trades if you trade with just Q. Not to mention, early game you're trying to farm more AP anyways. I find that late game, even though it's easier to last hit with Q then, you'll be farming more so with dark matter, meaning you're mission out on lots of potential AP. Also, if the other person is being very evasion in lane, you can catch them with E just to Q. This burns a lot of mana, but this is a great set up for using your ult. EDIT: meant E not W. Which ever is the cage. | ||

"costs a lot of mana" Brand has comparatively good mana costs on his spells compared to Veigar, so missing Ws hurts you much less on Brand than it does on Veigar. Also, I'm pretty sure Brand's W does not have a 1.2 second delay. | ||

Max Q then max E, one in W at 4. Only way to go noobs. (Actually stopping at 2-3 ranks of E is ok in some situations, but 2.5s AoE stun OP) | ||

Yes yes, brand's W is much better blah blah... but my point is that it's still not 100% guaranteed to hit and there are other reasons that brands do well by maxing W first, one being that it gives them and basically any AP carries some very much needed lane control by being able to push out before making a play elsewhere on the map. Suppose that you can solve the mana issue (either via sorakabot or blue buff), you really don't want to end up level 9 in a lane with only baleful strike while the enemy team clears his wave in 2 spells and then goes off and do whatever while you're pinned down. I think being able to insta-gib ranged minions with 1 spell is a minimum requirement if you wish to be able to leave your lane at all without losing too much everytime you want to roam, and veigar certainly would benefit from being able to make his insta-gibbing power to good use elsewhere. Plus, a stun + dark matter combo is virtually impossible to retaliate against or avoid, but again, costs a lot of mana which is why at least on paper, veigar is only strong if he can access cheap mana throughout early game. Also, here's a delayed happy birthday nob | ||
