Hey guys, as a bronze newbie I have a few questions for the better players here, if someone could answer them it would be awesome .

Why don't the following champs get played much at a high level? Kassadin, AD Sion, Tryndamere

If I want to get better should I just choose one role and learn all the champs for that particular role?

Why does no-one seem to play GP anymore? He used to be in so many games but I haven't seen him on a pro stream for a long time.


Kass and AD Sion are like stupidly weak in lane. They are dangerous as hell once they get farmed and too the late game, but getting there against good players rather difficult to say the least. ALmost every other solo lane champ just outtrades both these guys, and they both suck at farming too.

I wouldn't even go as far as to say all the champs in the role... pick two or three and just get beast with them. By getting good at say Jungle Shyvana/Udyr/Mundo, you'll learn skills that will help you as a Bruiser/tank (initiating vs peeling etc), AD carry (How to not die horrible because your positioning sucks), AP (ganksing), and Support (Wardings, map awareness, babysitting). Obviously, getting good at shy makes you primarily good at Shy, but you learn other stuffs too.

People dont play GP because he got a nerfed a ton (minor stuff, really) and the community is fickle as all hell. Also, his mana costs relatively now high compared to most champs, so that pushes people away because "managing mana not fun." (to quote riot)



I'm not sure I understand how you could say AD sion farms badly... His E allows him to last hit so easily it's ridiculous.... I mean I see how he could get harrasses out of lane, but farming is easy with him for me.

Actually every time I'm on a bad a bad losing streak or am not playing well, I'll pick Sion and get a free win or something. He's who I play best with.

Regarding him, has anyone tried a DSheild open? That's what I do if most of the time, and I take TP so whenever I get about 2k gold I will b and get a wriggles and boots. I really think that item is underrated in general with the recent nerfs to the other two, and I think it is more worthwhile than a cloth 5 open. I open that on some of my jungles too. Underrated item for sure.

farming isn't just about last hitting. being able to stay in lane is much more important. AD sion can't trade with the vast majority of popular champs until he gets a good amount of items.

but he farms at tower so well.... I dont understand how you could ever be pushed out of lane as him unless it's a teemo, vlad, kennen or yorick. Those are the only ones I could see actually being able to make him b. Everyone else just makes it a farmfest, because he can just stay at tower all day and farm, if anyone tries to dive he's got a stun and sheild.

And about the trading bit, he can trade with a fair bit of people imo. No you don't want to be taking all that much damage but once you get wriggles it doesn't matter anyways....

You know, this may come as a total shock to you but some people can actually freeze their lane and deny you a lot of farm, and certain champs can harass you under your tower, they dont need to dive you.

I have never seen a sion do well against any popular top lane as ad. You just get denied too hard in your first 5 levels.

Maybe everyone I play sucks then, because I can usually become a bully at levels 4 or 5 and really dont get denied too hard the first few

Yeah but saying it just turns in a farmfest because he can farm under turret is kinda silly when he can just get denied a lot of cs. Not really a farmfest, more like a farm desire.

I don't even get how ASpd Cho is supposed to be unique. Even Scip was owning with it here and there. And that was pretty much only stacking Zeals.

If you're tanky enough already and want DPS on Cho, ASpd.
If you're tanky enough already and want burst on Cho, AP.
If you're not tanky enough already on Cho, Frozen Heart.
If you want to be awesome, Triforce. Not limited to Cho.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

I'm having a bit of a problem with the Olaf vs Jax match-up... I've played it from both sides, but when I was Olaf my jungler stupidly ran into a spotted invade and I had to stay to keep him alive, so I missed 3 waves before I got there, et Jax was 15 cs and almost to levels ahead, then he ganked mid since the wave was pushed, got a kill, farmed a bit and came back with revolver+vamp scepter. I'd prob have lost any match-up with such a gold and level advantage. He also switched flash for exhaust.
When I played as Jax Olaf pushed a bit and hit 2 before me so he attacked, I hold it off, but my jungler wanted to gank (still not sold on Shyv level 3 ganks...), we saw theirs coming (Lee Sin) but he went in anyway, making me commit with him... only to flash out immediatly et let me get killed 1v2. He then got dived and gave another kill. Again, lost before I can get a feel for the match-up.

When I look at it, I guess it's kind of awareness-based, as Olaf's E (+ aa if you turn) is more damage than Jax can do with aa+W early on, but with Jax's E+W you can outtrade Olaf if you run at him when he uses E and disengage right before his E cd comes back (obviously you can't do that too easily as levels rise and cooldowns get shorter). But maybe I'm wrong and assuming equal skill and knowledge of the match-up one side is heavily-favored?
Cant take LMS hipsters serious.
