Mordekaiser with 9% spell vamp start and 13 HP pots pretty overkill.

Why you guys always try to prove me wrong


Also I soon have 6300 ip getting an OP mid, Zyra or Diana?

I think Zyra is easier to get easy wins with but Diana is better.

Buy Zyra, play with AoE initiators like Amumu/Malph/Sona/etc. Receive free wins.

You make a lot of absolute statements that are pretty easy to prove wrong. See, the forums are an ocean, the posters are sharks, and posts like that are bloody, meaty carcasses some research organization dropped in the water. It's inevitable that everyone is going to fight to take a bite out of the juicy, delicious freebie.

Also, Karthus makes great use of Spell Vamp quints because Q ignores the AoE penalty when you hit a single target. Akali is probably the most obvious champion for Spell Vamp quints outside of Kennen, so I'm surprised no one has mentioned her yet.

No one plays Akali anymore, so no one talks about her :\ My first skin was Nurse Akali (I think, first one I remember being excited about), want to see her show up more often. Maybe I'll play her mid into squishy mages.

Just hearsay, but TSM hasn't paid them for the last invitational yet, so they decided to forfeit. Again, don't know if their is any truth to that, just what I heard.

The thing that sets her apart from AP assassins like Kat/Diana is her smokebomb, but fancy smoke plays take too much thinking D:

He's played more, probably. I see way more Ez's than Corki's, and about the same or slightly more than Graves. W is really strong too, and the nerf didn't stop that.

I much prefer her to them just because of how Smoke Bomb can lead to amazing plays or sneaky escapes. Much easier to shut down, though, Oracles OP. I feel like she snowballs harder than Diana, but not as much as Kat. Very few things snowball as hard as Kat, Mejai's + spinny ult is silly.

I'd say a combo of his W making trades much better for him, and his escape being the easiest of the 3 to get away from blitz hooks (although the latter is more of me being sad when I grab ez when I play blitz).

I vote Karth because his damage and scaling is crazy. Also no terrible MUs.


Kassadin and ryze are actually very difficult matchups for karthus, ryze especially with the wall change. Karthus, just by farming charges kassadin's E for him and kassadin has a very easy time farming against karthus. Q's that hit multiple targets do pretty pathetic damage and kassadin's passive ensures that he doesn't have too much trouble eating any damage he takes in exchange for being able to farm well early and karthus' terrible autoattack means that the traditional way of dealing with kassadin is gone.

Ryze on the other hand can easily run up and Q+auto karthus and with his propensity for running MS quints, is really hard to hit with lay wastes before getting a point in wall. This is especially true when ryze gets his first blue buff and can full combo karthus with 38% cdr With the new wall, karthus just doesn't do enough dps to take down ryze before he himself dies, even between wall and exhaust, if ryze kites appropriately, all karthus is dealing damage with is his Qs which pale in comparison to ryze's combo damage.

Kassadin and Ahri are very hard MUs but they are both doable. His Q has long range and lets you farm vs almost anyone.


Karthus has a lot of bad matchups actually. Those two are just awful, since both play the role of assassin and are highly mobile with strong burst at level 6. LB can pretty much 1 shot Karthus, Swain can fight him at any level in lane, and once Ryze gets tear/cata, Karthus is especially going to be hurting. He can do well vs Morgana though, so long as he doesn't get hit by her binding, in which case he is pretty much dead. His wave clear is phenomenal if given the chance, and Morg will most definitely do that for you. Once you farm the wave, go farm wraiths+dogs and then proceed to outscale her.


Though his damage and scaling into late game is ridiculous, that is true. I've always regarded him as the only true hyper carry ap, with Ryze being up there as well.

I'd say the worst MUs for Karthus as of late are Gragas/Ahri/Kass. You don't see Kass a lot but the other two are very common. Yeah Gragas/Karthus can go even, but it's such an abusive time if he wants it to be.

Well not all my posts are like that.

However i really disagree with Karthus and Akali on spell vamp quints. Akali is much better of with AD quints and pen marks her damage is so much higher that way.

Also i don't believe Morgana, LB and Ryze are bad MU. Morgana is even; if your blue lane (lane closest to blue) helps you against the first and second blue respawn invade you are winning.

LB is really really easy her scaling sucks sooo hard. sure she can kill you at 7; its not possible at 6 (1v1) you just need to keep up in farm decently and you are going to win the game.

Ryze can't go aggro for a long time if you have a ganking jungler.

Swain is also even he is better 1-5 slighly better 6-10 even 11-15 much worse at 16-18

there was that whole thing way back when on how long tourneys took to pay out -_- not surprised

streaming revenue is probably pretty big, but i guess TSM wanted to keep the stream revenue...

The Ryze Karthus match-up is mostly Ryze trying to run up and Karthus trying to prevent that and farm from range. Early Karthus takes longer to run out of mana than early Ryze. Karthus of course shouldn't really choose to fight Ryze straight up, but he can farm that match-up, is better at farming jungle and has his global presence. If you pair Karthus with a Lee Sin or something like that, Ryze can't really look to pressure Karthus off of creeps without the fear of dying to a gank. Ryze is not a terrible match-up for Karthus.
