From what I can remember from playing vs Udyr I max Q first and it actually goes crushing through his turtle especially if you autoattack cancel properly with Q. That ghoul deals like a million damage.
However I agree it's tough if you don't gain a large advantage early on. Still I don't think Udyr can properly 1v1 you esp vs your ult so it turns into farmfest

Is the patch live on NA? I saw in Aphro's stream that some CHamp icons have been changed. But Pulsefire hasnt been released yet right?

By the way anyone else grin ear to ear every time opposing team picks Ezreal(Happens like every other game now)? They seem to be learning to play it for Pulsefire Ezreal and all these Ezreals are absolutely horrible and I love freewin lanes

You also can ignore your support with her. Answer is Caitlyn

I'd say tristana or graves are best for what you intend, but they are not on your list. Maybe urgot too.

I'd pick up Cait if you're looking for a lane bully. It's easy to use her to pretty much take the other AD out of the game at lower skill levels. You can also use traps and your net to make ganks less of an issue in the event your support isn't very good.
|
Caitlyn is designed to bully lanes and then win mid-game. Her range, traps, and snare/displace make it really easy to position safely, and her ult is there for picking off runners.

I just haven't seen it (So after you E them and they retreat towards the brush you W behind them so that the AoE still hits but so that it gives vision and the E ghoul doesn't change target)

Does Rumble just absolutely wreck Akali in lane or am I just bad?
Also, is Baron glitched right now? It just did 600 damage to me in 3 seconds.

Hm Cait just feels so weak to me and I dunno :/ I'm not really having a ton of fun playing as her, though I guess in theory she should be good...

Rumble wrecks a lot of people in lane, he's a dick. Dunno about that specific matchup, though.

Faytte and I experienced the same thing last night. I think he has double attack speed or something.

@shikyo: might not be playing the lane right. I know i don't so i pretty much hate cait. The two main things are hitting them as they take a cs so they can't hit back, and learning how to avoid the hard engage, it's different for every matchup. For example vs graves he can't really fight you unless he dashes, right? If he does you trap him and net him at the same time, then he either gets trapped or slowly walks off it while you auto him, either way you've won the trade. That kind of thing

Yorick can outlane and outdamage WW at most/all stages of the game. Ranged carries will pretty much all crush Warwick in lane: Vayne in particular will demolish him. The mixed damage bruisers (e.g. Jax) can do alright against him. I don't think Nasus is a very good pick, it is so easy for Warwick to abuse all-physical champions (Frozen Heart OP as fuck).

Rumble is a hard counter to Akali. It's not even close.
