Hey, thanks for the two-three page discussion on Irelia after my question, it looks like it will help a lot, you guys are awesome. :p

Just one other thing, though, is what's the best way to engage on someone as Irelia? What I've tried doing is Q->E->W on top of someone, as that seems pretty natural, to me. Is that a good combo, or is there a better way to do it?

Also, how do you use her R besides just for clearing waves? :p

Her R is also pretty useful in specific situations, like starts of teamfights for AoE damage, sniping runners, or harassing behind the turret. Generally just most situations where you want to long range poke, don't be afraid to fire it off.

Can someone help me be better at melee champions? I feel like I spend half my time running and never actually get to hit anything. I'll get off, like, 1 melee attack then spend the rest of the time trying to get in range for another one.

I've been playing Jax a bunch cuz I heard he was pretty good, and while I can land my jump easy enough, as soon as I try to build my auto attack stacks for the speed boost and proc, they're halfway down the lane.

Dumb thing is, when I try to escape the same way, I can never get away for some reason. Should I just stick to ranged casters and just not deal with melee?

What does that do? Can you queue up things like in SC2?

Not enough APM to press a button before you click instead of holding the button while you click.

I guess im just lazy. I smart cast 90% of my moves and found this built in attack move thing when I was really really drunk. Makes stutter step micro ezpz.

How does it make it any easier though? Will you move towards the mouse click inbetween attacks? I thought you'd just stand in front of the target as if you were right clicking on them.

Feel like there should be a guide written somewhere about all the little things people might not know, for example:

-- Self casting --
Holding Alt and pressing a skill key (QWER) will attempt to cast a targetted spell on yourself, such as a soraka heal or morgana shield

-- Smart casting --
Holding shift and pressing a skill key (QWER DF) will cast the selected spell on a target based on where your mouse cursor currently is, similar to Karthus, Urgot, Cass and Riven Q

-- Leveling up --
Holding Ctrl and pressing a skill key (QWER) will attempt to level the skill up assuming you have a point available

-- Pinging --
Holding Alt (or pressing G) and Left clicking on either the minimap or anywhere in your view will ping and mark your target (if applicable).
Holding Ctrl (or pressing V) and Left clicking on either the minimap or anywhere in your view will retreat ping and mark your target (if applicable).

That really should be known by anyone playing though.

I didn't realize how to lock your camera (Y) until a few days ago. It's actually pretty helpful when you're kiting during a fight (offensively or defensively).
