What are the most underappreciated, yet perfectly viable picks at the moment? I'd have to go with Talon - the guy is a beast in Solo Q, he dominates pretty much most of the currently popular AP champions, roams like a beast and snowballs scarily well. Favourite champion at the moment. Fizz - even though he got some recognition from European teams, I feel like no one really abuses his strength against weak laners. Sivir - she dropped out of favor after her nerfs, even though she's still a really good AD carry. Her ult remains beast for teamfights, not sure why no one really plays her anymore. Fizz top lane should be getting more popular since he straight up counters vlad. Also, if you don't build bruiser AD fizz, you're building him wrong. | ||

Since W just shuts riven down completely at lvl 5. she just gets hit and then yorick kites her for days without riven dealing any damage. If he goes tear he still runs out of mana for the vast majority of the laning phase. He will run low on mana because his strength comes from being very spam heavy. Riven just does way more damage than Yorick. Yorick can easily zone some champs the gap then hit him any time he hits you... which is really easy on Riven. You can ignore his Ghouls entire existence because she does AoE just randomly, and Riven can't get kited because she has so many dashes. Same way Xin Zhao wrecks Yorick. | ||

No, the idea is that if he gets Tear, you outdamage him (because he spent 1k on an item that neither adds to his damage, nor reduces yours), and if he doesn't get Tear, you outsustain him. | ||

TF and Kog come to mind. R has 70 second cd at lvl 3 with no cdr. It's kinda like Gragas ulti lategame in that when you're trying to seige a tower, you can just chuck your ulti at them to force them off the turret. Take the turret while they're regrouping/healing up and then back off for 30 seconds and your ulti is up again. | ||

I think that's the actual issue, since mana management on panth later on is basically nonexistant as far as I can tell, and in general, there aren't really that many AD champions gated that hard by mana. edit: also the synergy between manamune and bveil/fheart is decent, but not THAT good. IMO the only reason you ever get manamune is because you want the tear really bad, even if you do already have bveil and fheart, other dmg items generally outperform it in both raw damage and utility. I dunno, smash can probably talk more intelligently about this than me, but I don't like that build over the dorans-->bruta--->BT build. Basically because if you run 9 utility and mana regen yellows, I don't see how you could run out of mana throwing spears. Pantheon's damage is just retarded with dblade opening, you either have to force the issue and fight him (which is nearly impossible) or you accept that you're going to get zoned for the first 2-3 creep waves. I jsut don't really see the need for all that mana I guess, even spamming spears early levels i never run out of mana, and if I get low mana I just push the wave and buy, his AD scaling is bonkers and the best way to abuse that is with early-mid game items that take advantage of his abusiveness. | ||

Not to mention even if Yorick is in range to use his W Riven can press E and be in range to W... Yoricks W has a range of 600, Riven's Dash is 350 and her W has a range of 250. Not to mention, 1 W will kill Ghouls, and about 2 Q's as well so the ongoing slow isn't an issue. Yorick cannot kite Riven, he stunned just as long as Riven slowed, and after that she has her Q hops to ensure she sticks to you. The only champs in the game that can kite Riven are like Ashe, Lulu, and Caitlyn. Aside from Kassadin she has the best short range mobility in the game. | ||

Anecdotal. I've never had an issue with Yorick after learning how to actually play Riven/the matchup. By changing from QWE leveling to EWQ I can make you waste a ton of mana level 1-3 with a dorans blade and be fine. | ||
