I enjoy the fast clearly and counterganing/map control of Mundo but sometimes you see the enemy team out of position while your team is in position and you want to engage but your Ashe refuses to arrow. Basically down to Shyv, Skarner, Hecarim, and maybe Naut/Maokai. Any thoughts/suggestions? Shyv or skarner. Shyv for super fast clears and the roar I'm a dragon in your face factor. Skarner for those epic clutch ults. | ||

Skarner is #1 idiot catcher and gamebreaker in solo queue. So any time skarner is within 750 range of you while you're laning, you should burn flash immediately? pretty smart man. A champion with a 350 range ult should have his ult cancelled if you're further than 350 units away when it goes off. it's not that hard to understand. | ||

You shouldn't ever be within his flash ult range if you're a squishy. If you are outside of his ult range you can't get ulted, his ult range is pretty small. Are you really whining about getting pulled when it's 10000% your fault and nothing else? | ||

Holy fuck, I literally just max W, build TF/Rengar item, and slap buttons, it's so fucking dumb. I can only imagine how stupid this will be once I actually learn how to play him. | ||

Initiators are Maokai, Rammus, Jarvan, Skarner, Alistar, Amumu, Malphite, Nautilus, Sejuani, and Shen. Hecarim might be that category, too. The common theme is hard CC and generally also gap closing. You want to fight? You're there NOW and they CAN'T move. Things like Mundo can at most soft initiate, wherein the enemy can just walk away from it and can still use any blink or flash if your team appears to have a position to engage on. This is an enormous difference and is pivotal to what differentiates an initiating jungler from a non-initiating jungler. Nocturne can sort of initiate, too, but that's more of a "okay let's all in now" kind of thing. He plays better as a counter initiator / follow up, imo.

You should be rewarded for having quick reflexes to counter his flash with a flash or blink of your own, not punished because of Riot's netcode that allows things to happen that clearly never should. The same buggy netcode also has this effect on flings like that of Volibear and Singed, but it is much less pronounced because it's significantly more rare and generally less impactful. It's inane to believe that someone should be rewarded for glitchy code over than superior play. | ||

Also, those posts are a very good reason to play Skarner in my opinion. If people are complaining about something, it is probably worth playing. | ||

A counterargument is that the code, with all its bugs, is part of the game, and people should learn how to play around it (e.g.: wavedashing in SSBM, glitching units through mineral walls in BW, etc). Although I agree that since LoL is actually getting regularly patched they should fix this at some point. | ||

You CAN flash his flash ult if you flash fast enough, when you get dragged after you flash it's called being punished for bad positioning and bad reactions. | ||

They made their game on the cheap initially and it's probably intractable at this point. They may be able to special case Skarner, but probably to fix something like this would require extreme amounts of developer time. While there are occasionally glitches that are beneficial to a game because they increase the skillcap, this is not one of them. This is purely a detractor that should be excised. | ||

The situation i'm talking about is usually when i'm playing mid. I get flash ulted from one of the side brushes, and I flash out just in time. However, because of the way his ult works I get pulled back 750 units and die. It's just dumb and I doubt that's how the ability was intended to work when it was designed. | ||

Honestly, that sort of thing absolutely cannot be fixed because of latency. Even if you have 100% quick reflexes you are still flashing like 50 MS after Skarner Ulted. What Riot should fix is you should not flash (thus burning your flash and giving a kill). | ||
