Or if you don't mind buying a 6,3k ip champ, go for Leona or Nocturne.

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. | ||

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. | ||

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.

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.

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. 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.

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. 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? | ||

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. Show nested quote + 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. | ||
