Teemo and Yorick.

I would also recommend Malph, although he's banned way too much.
Or if you don't mind buying a 6,3k ip champ, go for Leona or Nocturne.

No...don't buy wukong,monkey sucks balls and your gonna get dunked by every popular lane atm.

So I take it that people will continue pushing into oblivion until high level games where junglers and mid roamers are able to consistently pull off succesful ganks? This is a sad day for me

Sorry for annoying you guys with my silly question, I was genuinely curious. Thanks for the answers ^^. Move on!

What you're asking about sounds like good lane control (i.e. pushing when its a good idea, and freezing near tower when it's not). And chances are you'll see it in at least 1 lane in every game (can't speak for like sub 1200 ranked), and yeah lane control and judgement improves as you gain elo, but it's not drastic. From watching streams you'll see 2k+ players with poor lane control, but great mechanics and teamfight decision making, so it's not like it ever goes away completely.

Jayce is pretty OP atm, but I don't find him fun. He's very abusive in a bad way. Lee sin top is awesome, awesome fun but unfortunately he falls off compared to a lot of top laners so you need to know how to press your advantage.
Darius scales well and rapes most melees, making him a pretty good pick in almost every situation. You need to know how to not die to ganks, though.

Why you guys always try to prove me wrong


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.

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


Can't say I play LB, but I don't understand why she can't kill you at 6. I always thought 6 was where everyone pretty much said "well, I had fun losing half my health from her combo, now I get to lose all of it".

And you're referencing late game Karth, which is pretty much the best ap in the game. No one brings that much damage to a team like he does. Ryze can, but he doesn't apply it to everyone, just kills people one at a time. When I say he has bad matchups, I'm pretty much referencing in lane, which is 1-whenever laning ends.

She need level 4 q to have enough damage to kill you 1v1

You'll do more damage with MPen, but at the cost of sustain and trade potential.

With just base MR factored in MPen Akali and Spell Vamp Akali are roughly even in a trade, with Spell Vamp Akali having an extremely slight advantage (which grows as MR increases). The problem for MPen Akali is that between trades Spell Vamp Akali heals for significantly more. MPen Akali, barring jungler intervention or misplays by her opponent, loses the lane to attrition.

Spell Vamp Quints on Karthus are for when you're against an opponent who forces you to farm and outscale them rather than go for the kill. Having a 1000 range ability which bypasses the AoE penalty is absurdly good for weathering harass through Spell Vamp. You don't necessarily use them in all situations.

If you want early game sustain hp regen is much better. Lategame it's worse and lacks the QQ factor but it quite clearly better for early game sustain. Also its bizarre to rune for in case they want to give you an advantage which a freefarm Karthus lane is.

Akali is better


Actually, in the case of Karthus it's incorrect to say that Health Regen Quints are better. By level 3 the amount of healing given by Spell Vamp Quints is roughly equal assuming you use Q to last-hit minions, and only becomes better thereafter or if you're pushing.

Health Regen Quints aren't clearly better than other sustain options, it's always dependent on the matchup and champion involved. They have a slight tendency to be better, but it's not a strong enough trend to always make that assumption.

Spellvamp quints on Karthus sounds really terrible to me. You're almost always going catalyst, so you have loads of lane sustain anyway. Plus it's pretty hard to harrass Karthus much when he can last hit from 1k range. Also, missing out on the AP quints can make the difference when ult'ing other lanes.

Calling Karthus the best AP in the game isn't true anymore, the last 2 nerfs to his R and W mean there better AP's to choose from now imo.

Karthus went from AP for every situation to only specific comp, that's not to say he's still got one of the best laning phases in the game. It's fairly stable, most match ups are very doable, the tough match ups are usually ahri/kass, but those aren't impossible lanes by any means.

As far as spellvamp quints on karthus, generally you just shove the lane with Q's, and then back, and you should be back in lane with full mana/health without missing too many cs.


In some cases that works, and in others you're against a champion who can shove harder with less effort. If that was my strategy I'd probably want Movespeed Quints and a quick Boots 2.


After reading this discussion I'm still not understanding the logic behind people picking sustain quints on Karthus.
What champions can harass Karthus hard enough to warrant taking sustain quints? As long as you don't push lane, such is the range and damage of q on single minions it's very do-able to get every cs on your way to 1.3k for Catalyst. Personally once I get Catalyst I've almost never felt like I need more lane sustain. I can afford a Catalyst just before/as I hit level 6, so again, who are you guys laning against that can harass you out of lane through your 3 pots pre-6?
I can think of maybe 1 or 2 champions that can give you that hard a time early on, and vs those champions flat MR blues or even MR quints would surely be better?

Jayce is standard top: AD-ArPen/Ar/Mr/AD.

Leona is more or less standard support: Ar/Ar/Mr/GP5, but I'm sure there are other ways to do it.

I think 3 bans are fine as they are. Like Zileas said, I think we all rather watch Froggen play Anivia.

Zileas has the faulty belief that counter-bans are more damaging to niche comps than counter-picks, when by all counts it's the opposite that's true.

If the enemy counter-bans a hero in your comp, you're pretty much always going to have a second option. If they counter-pick you, often-times your comp can just be dead in the water right there.


I think you are misrepresenting his argumentation slightly to be honest. He states very clearly that they do not want to give teams in general the possibility to largely skew the game in their favor by "winning" the draft. So he is as opposed to counter-picking as he is to counter-banning. Whether one is more relevant than the other is therefore irrelevant to him, as he won't neither to happen.

Zileas:
The more nuanced answer is that League is opposed to 'rock paper scissors' style design. That's why we don't have hard immunities in large amounts, and why we don't have a ton of true hard counter champion picks.


Also you stated earlier that they should orient themselves at Hon/Dota, but they can't do that if they want to generate a completely different drafting experience. So the entire premise of how to make the draft more strategic is actually missing the point I think. They don't want to create another Dota. They want a game which is less strategic and more action-based.

Then his point of view is totally detached from the way the draft actually works.

As much as he doesn't want counterpicking, it's already an extremely critical portion of the draft.

If anything a 2nd ban phase will reduce the amount of counter picking. because now your 3rd and 5th picks are both protected.

This is a good point that's also supported by the fact that drafting in DotA is actually noticeably less counterpick-oriented than LoL.

well thats the thing about the international that was so interesting, like, the first 3 picks were op wars, naga siren dark seer and lycan open, what do? I mean I think the long lane and the safe lane have a lot to do with this because your carry basically gets to freefarm no matter what, but it is cool to see.
