From my experience she does great against the common mids like eve, kat, and ahri No mobility, and very short ranged. Highly reliant on a relatively long ult CD as well. I agree with short ranged spell, so that's why you harass with 625 range auto attacks until flash stun ignite combo.

Similar question to previous arpen question: If you're running arpen reds on an AD carry for more damage to champs, is there any sense to running arpen quints too?

I think some people were discussing a 10armpen 10ad mix or something to that effect, which helps vs champs and creeps aswell. i prob wouldnt run full armpen unless youre like, playing ezreal or something though

m-rod don't need no remake, he da buffest champ eva. Huehuehue all day and dont give a fuck
edit: in other news, i was forced to go mid for the first time ever in solo queue. needless to say, we lost pretty miserably, but i'm shocked that I was ever put into that position. So should I bother learning a mid champ or hope it's a 1/1000000 kind of thing. I was the same. So I learned AP Sion because I knew him from top. He was okay and I could hold my own but he's not the greatest. Then I learned Veigar. He's super fun. I recently learned Cho because he can go top, mid and jungle. He's fun  Or you could learn Ahri because she's really easy to learn. go fiddle, play any role you want and kill shit okay, ad fiddle kind of troll but its semi viable amirite? there's a lot of champs that do well in 4 roles, but just not adc :/ You only play AD fiddle if you have the Bandito skin afaik. Cause cowboy fiddles best fiddles
Fiddle is good as support and mid these days? I have not seen one for a long time, even this weak when is free. I used to play him quite a bit. Any particular match ups he is good at? I can see why fiddle support working, he has some crazy CC.

Esp if there's anyone that does lots of physical damage but has poor AD ratios on their abilities.

Xin Zhao and Garen are two good examples of this.

Xin already has %arpen from his passive though. I know that flat arpen applies before %arpen does, but maybe AD would be more efficient on him. It also depends on how good you are at csing at low/base ad and how good you will be trading vs your opponent.

Flat pen applies AFTER % reduction, which means it synergizes well.
That's why 25 ArPen are good on Jarvan and Wukong. Same deal with Xin (though its less good because the % reduction is much smaller).
EDIT: BTW easiest way to distinguish % reduction from % penetration--anything that is a buff to yourself (runes, steroids, etc.) are penetration. Anything applied as a debuff to an enemy is reduction.

i think fiddlesticks has trouble in lane because he has no good wave clear. in teamfights he's only in trouble if the other team is doesn't ward and falls for flash ultis over walls.
this may be a dumb question but what makes an AD carry? is it stats and AA steroids?

Oops, sorry. I thought Xin had %arpen on his passive. And thanks for the easy difference, I'll remember that

God, St.V's lee sin so bad >.< So funny to watch.

funny question. What is the best champion to tank minion? Before was eve with her 50% reduction passive and can tank at lvl 1 with cloth armor. Who is the new minion tank now?

Fizz and Amumu are good for this.

If by tank minions you mean just running straight into a mob of minions I'd probably say any champion that has a shield. I dunno why you'd want to just stand around and tank a minion wave other than to not have them denied by the tower, but even in that scenario it's likely better to just last hit under tower than to tank minions while being harassed by your opposing laner.

So should I bother learning a mid champ or hope it's a 1/1000000 kind of thing. I don't always play Mid, but when I do, I play Mantheon. oh wow, I can't believe I didn't think of mantheon. We even had singed top and corki bot, real derp. Ya. He actually fits in to quite a few team comps pretty well and absolutely dunks on a lot of mids. The only AP I like to play is TF, and I'm really not very good with him. I'm basically auto-lose on everyone else though so I usually take my chances with Mantheon. I usually make this pretty clear in champ select though, so there is almost always someone willing to take mid. U MID OR I FEEEEEEED Just based on theplayerbase of LoL you're eventually going to run into that premade 4 in normals who are assholes and force the 5th player to fill in the role they don't have except for some reason this role is mid
We are those premade 4 that force our random to go mid. It's just such a lame role. Too many annoying to play matchups for us. :D
The only other matchup that comes close to as stupid as many mid matchups is being bottom against a Leona support without a Nautilus on your team.

lolwat? Freezing the lane is very common in top (and bot if you're winning).

Freezing lane is fine. Freezing lane probably not worth it if you're going to take a ton of harass.
