Pretty sure Irelia would demolish Nidalee once she reaches her tanky levels. Early on you will get AA'd to death, but she has no CC, so when you jump on her, you should demolish her.

nidalee is godlike against most top laners pre-6. she has range, a heal, and an armor shred. against most top laners (melee, sustain, and high defensive stats) she is literally a hard-counter

Riven, gp, irelia, and trynd all are strong vs nid afaik. Although they don't have many bad matchups top in general.

Which reminds me. I love how nobody plays akali anymore l0l.

it's the spellvamp nerfs that hit her hard, not the nerfs to her personally. Plus that was about the same time people started realizing lee sin was a ridiculous jungler, so many more ppl could/would counterpick her.

Hehe, Trump picked Singed it seems, good tastes.
Does Pantheon beat Nidalee? He can't level 1-bash her since she's ranged and he'd need the gap closer, but can his spears outsustain her (pretty costly if I remember well) heal to that point where he says "don't get near minions or I kill you"?

As for my funniest champ... it's hard. There are champs I enjoy playing, champs that are simply fun, and then there are those who are both and the added distinction of "Do I play them a lot or not?". I need to play more Katarina/Blitz/Singed, def. And learn more about Nautilus (perhaps try to find a streamer playing him mid/top). Jax is fun whenever his Q is off cd.
I guess my fun champs are those that allow me to do silly stuff with me avoiding to be too bad to use them. That'd be Maokai/Pantheon/Trundle out of my mains then.
Cant take LMS hipsters serious.

The spellvamp nerf didn't change the fact she's still an assassin with ridicolous damage output and a shroud. She's still really strong.

No.....
The spellvamp nerfs stop her broken mechanic of going from 5% hp to 100% with a single combo. (still like 5 to 75% in a single combo lolol) She still has the same burst and a ridiculously strong sustain. Lee sin was a good jungler since he came out and was played even when she was top ban/pick. It's just one of those things that a champ becomes fotm, gets nerfed slightly, then drops off the face of the earth until someone gets the sheep to make her fotm again. The never ending LoL cycle. :D

I know this is probably silly but GD is for people throwing out ideas and letting people call them dumb right? :D

Anyways this is just me thinking about team comps and I have heard that things like 4 protect 1 carry were used once upon a time. Why has this fallen off? If a team was just crazy cc heavy and spaced their cc correctly wouldn't it still be good? If you force the other team into running a lot of cleanse/buying qss then you forced them to use up a slot that could otherwise be spent on something else. So what about a team comp that had 3 of the CC bots on it like Leona/Naut/Galio/Sej/Mumu/etc and then having like cass mid. Thats a fuck ton of cc a team has to deal with and not everyone of the cc bots have to build super tanky and can be hybrids to do a bit more dmg. Or would qss and people running cleanse be that easy to counter this? I know people talk about being spread out in fights when vs these comps but can you really be THAT spread out in many portions of the map? Also if you have that many aoe disables then you could immobilize multiple people multiple times or have people take different "portions" of the team or just use it to catch people all the time.

I'm not sure QSS would be enough alone even if everyone on the opposite team has it it only removes effects and not future ones. Cleanse does but only for 3 seconds and forcing multiple opponents to take it seems like an advantage for you.

Thoughts?


It still puts all your eggs in one basket... which is the whole reason why it stopped being used in favour of the more popular 2 carries, 2 semi carries, and a support model. Your Carry doesn't get farmed and you just lose. So what the other team do? just focus on getting your carry not farmed, and you lose. Doesn't matter if you Sej farmed when your Kog'Maw is the only one that can kill things.


If you had good jungle support on your two "carry" lanes would it not be ok? I don't see how it would be possible to hard deny farm to both lanes with a carry. I mean with a jungle presence it wouldn't allow hardcore zoning of your carry lane (Cass can farm ezpz without having too many bad match ups) and your top can just farm and not get himself killed. I know some top champs can get out of control but CC will shutdown anyone if you have enough of it.

This isn't a 4 protect-1 carry scenario but a derivative of it with 3 protects and two carries (one AP (Cass who also has cc) and an AD). Or supplant the protect who jungles with someone who can have strong jungle control.


...

Isn't that pretty much what everyone does now? Typically you have a Carry bot with a "protect" then a Jungler who goes around a) securing objectives and b) helping lanes... and then you have a bruiser top who is getting farm so thsat they can effectively peel for the carry late game.

I lost mang.


I guess it is except instead of having a bruiser top and a support bot you have two tanks.


Half the supports ARE tanks, and realistically you get a bruiser farmed so they can initiate and peel like a tank would anyway... only really difference is that a bruiser can deal deeps and has slightly less CC.

/shrug


True enough. I know it was rather silly but I just like to think about team comps that are not part of the current meta. And not silly/troll/niche ones but ones that could potentially shift to the "norm" (although at the elo I play at half the games don't follow the meta anyway). I really need to watch more "high level" games to see how things are done "the correct way" I think solo Q and normals have severely warped my idea of how the game is played at a high level because even reading about how to play correctly doesn't do it for me because people on both teams react differently to things at my level then they do at high elo. Thanks for bearing with me through this though


Speaking of which, I never understood why people don't go double bruiser lanes bot when a carry such as Tryndamere, Poppy or Riven is taken top. You know you have a carry that is gonna get tons farm top, so why take another carry? Just makes you team squishier.

Thing is, you run something like Blitzcrank/Sion or Fiddle/Leona bot lane you get that tankier team comp AND you can completely zone the enemies AD carry. Realistically I don't think they'd even be able to farm because these cahmps are so good at catching you out of position (say, trying to last hit) and killing stuff while also being reasonably effective lategame with minimal/split farm.

Maybe I manage to convince my 5s team to try it out with me sometime...


I think what you're effectively suggesting is to switch the ad carry from bot lane to top lane.

Riven/Trynd can be run as ad carries, but there was already a discussion in this thread about melee ad carries in general in LoL. They do suffer quite a lot. Imo the biggest problem is that AP is too strong late game and everything that is build remotely like a glass cannon just gets blown up when it gets to close to the enemy team. Unless it goes in and out very quickly...

Apart from that I think it is not a bad idea to try. Of course the enemy will most likely also swap. So you should make sure, that your ad can beat their ad top and that your bot combo can beat their "new" bot combo. Quite a lot of things to take into account. Probably the main reason people don't do it. A completely new space of combinations to figure out and you might end up counterpicking yourself unknowingly.

Only post 6 imo. Just punish her super hard pre-6, and you'll win post6, against nidalee.


almost no melee is good against a ranged pre 6 I don't know what you're on about. Her level 6 isn't all that strong anyways. Irelia is the most obvious pick since she can easily sustain but can only go agressive any time post 7 and come out ahead presuming she has the mana to keep going.

People like wukong xin and panth are exceptions to the weak until 6 versus ranged though.

Just a combination of her being a skimpy dressed girl with a giant sword that jumps like a bunny on cocaine around the battlefield screams soul caliber at me... Oh and the attack animation sounds don't help either.

EDIT: To add some more content. She looks to me more like an assassin then a sustained damage dealer. At least I don't see a way for her to fight and sustain herself at the front line in a full-blown teamfight. She will probably have some ridiculous 1v1 though.

naw, its still 12 hours from when they are gonna post them. Patch is delayed a day.

Also- to get back to the protect the kog discussion: IMO the best way to run protect the kog is to just do it offensivly. Grab a strong top, strong carry type jungle, and basically any strong mid. Then just get those 3 people farmed in lane and force the enemy to deal with 4 threats instead of just one.

Like if you have Shyv, GP, Cassio, and Kog: who is the enemy gonna kill? Any 1 person if ignored is going to ruin the enemy team.
