You farm, harass, and shield (protects agains her harass) at the same time; if she stays out of range of your E when you're near minions, she'll either lose CS to tower later or she'll have to eat your Es while she tanks minions closer to her tower. Morde naturally builds tanky and gets a free shield so her all-in isn't as scary, and you can outfarm or zone her pretty handily barring jungler camping mid. Edit: Morde can't match her roaming presence when it comes to helping ganks due to his lack of CC, but his ability to push lanes very quickly without losing health to harass makes it a lot more expensive for Diana to roam. | ||

What I meant was that after they lost so many matches they would arguably have won with Crumbzz, the gap between them and Curse is too big considering Curse's superweek matches for them to have shots at 1st place. Also I decided to not give a shit and go ranked only since I'm done reaching my "true" placement now, and I get hit with a duoQ of ragers and somebody who has lags for my first game. C'mon, give me better incentive matchmaking!  | ||

Avoiding the problem of bad play by trying to choose a champ with a kit that happens to counter diana does you no favors in terms of getting better. Hm ... Not entirely true. Kassadin is able to completely destroy some casters for example. Oh and speaking of counters, certain AD champions wreck Kassadin. | ||

As a Mordekaiser player I think it's the opposite. If she lands a Q on you post-6 you will either die or waste ult for nothing. You can't duel Diana 1v1. | ||

Why do you think a lot of those high elo players got there with like a single champ? They learned to play the bad matchups as well. | ||

More that lane/1v1 counters might not be the be all and end all someone should look at. There are so many other factors. | ||

On April 16 2013 02:58 ticklishmusic wrote: play vayne (or another really short range champ) vs cait then tell me there's no such thing as a counter or that counters dont matter When you look at counter charts of win rates champ to champ the best differences are something like 60-40%. That's pretty frigging huge as I'm sure it is for cait vs vayne, but a good vayne will beat someone trying to counterpick as cait who has no idea how to play cait 9 times out of 10. This site gives some insight into lane matchups and it says that many of the hard counters in the game are actually not lane counters. Eg. apparently Cait does really well against Evelynn 63% winrate. I'm just going to go the O'Reilly way and say that you can't explain that. There's too many variables to look at. I just know that I play better on my mains than when I try out Katarina. http://www.leagueofstats.com/champions/51 | ||

Why do you think a lot of those high elo players got there with like a single champ? They learned to play the bad matchups as well. That's usually to about an equal part (or probably even higher) due to the "favored" player not knowing how to play the matchup either. Like, in Graves' days of glory I would sometimes play Cait and the lane was about even usually. Then one day I realized that Cait has an autoattack range and the matchup became easy as fuck, most ez botlane to date. So when you ask people for who counters what... I could tell you that I can win lane with Malz vs Diana any day of the week, against players that are generally 'better' than I am. But when I just tell a dude that never played Malz that he's a counter, he'll pick malz, not know wtf to do and still lose and it didn't help him one bit. And that is why talking about counters is dumb, it's not because they dont exist, it's because they practically don't matter to 95% of LoL's population. | ||
