More on-topic though, what do you guys think of the place for splitpushing in LoL? I tend to do it almost every game, and I think it's one of the best strategies and one of the easiest, but I'm not very smart and I'm probably being biased because it takes away so much responsibility from the splitpusher (usually me). It is affected partially because I play mostly characters like Vlad, Rango, Shen, and Nidalee, but do you guys think it's overrated? My friends often tell me so.

Also, thanks for the post Neo. TL LoL has gone through a lot of changes these past few months, and I expect that they will only begin to increase as LoL inevitably grows. I think after this season there's going to be a lot of casual LoL fans going to find out more about the professional scene and a website to discuss such scene, and inevitably some will find our little Team Liquid here. But yeah, you were a lot more diplomatic than you needed to be, but I'm all about diplomacy ^_^


This seems to indicate to me that splitpushing is really good in soloQ. http://www.lolking.net/charts?region=all&type=champion-winrate&range=weekly&map=sr&queue=1x1&league=diamond

Nid, Kass, Trynd, and Teemo Top 10? Singed is usually pretty successful as well.

Splitpushing has heightened effectiveness in solo queue because generally you don't splitpush unless you're powerful enough to at least 1v1 decently. Also, one of the best counters to being splitpushed is to just go 5-man kill the other team, even diving them under the tower if need be and taking all of their base. Of course, in solo queue this kind of co-ordination is much harder to pull off than in a proper team of 5. A lot of teams also respond badly to being split pushed and aren't very decisive about making a decision or in keeping their wave pushed out so they can then focus on making an actual play.

Blue Build was nice, because you could essentially run a full dive/skirmish comp without sacrificing your AD to getting caught and wrecked in fights. But, if you're in a standard team comp, that can peel for you decently, and still make use of Ez's insane ability to peel for himself (even without blue build), then there's no reason not to run Triforce Ez.


His damage really is subpar.Only mid game it is decent but it's all downhill from there.It's also a problem that ez loses to every other ad in lane unless you outplay them hard or your support is superior or you get a ton of ganks.

Consider it a PSA and an official word from Neo about recent happenings and what it means going forwards.

I find it sad whenever someone needs to be banned in our subforum because it means something's gone wrong somewhere, and almost every time it was avoidable in some way so let's try to all get along and be happy. ^^

Does this mean we're allowed to do fish puns?

Re: Split Push. A lot of the best response to Splitpushing requires some planning in addition to the coordination MB mentioned. Having the waves forward in place to force objectives etc is important to not letting the splitter get your inhib turrets before you can do anything useful. Which is again why it's good in FFA queue.

Ez's only lose in lane, cuz bluebuild requires them to be 700 gold behind in items because tears, essentially a vamp sceptre behind, or longsword + boots difference. If you go S2-triforce build with him, he does just fine in lane.

It weighs a lot on you, though. My mechanics being pretty shit, along with my tendency to tunnel-vision when fighting, so despite playing mainly Irelia and Jax top I'm pretty bad at split-pushing (that, and either I'm missing something or Jax is far from the best champ against someone who just sits under tower and clears the wave there, as you can't get significant damage via creep wave alone, nor pressure on the tower, unless you abuse siege minion waves and slow pushing, Jax lacking ranged harass or stuff like that if you aren't ahead enough to straight-up ult and 100-0 the guy before the tower makes him win/force you to back).
On the other hand when there's a splitpusher on the team and the rest actively understands to help him ward the paths from our lanes to his, communicate with pings, and never go close to him but rather take objectives elsewhere and avoid fighting when it's 4v5, it really feels great. A standard 5v5 teamfight can be a mumbo jumbo of people mashing keys and your team comes out ahead seemingly at random because of gold differential or some guy playing really well, however for some reason going along a splitpushing situation smoothly feels much more like the team is on the same page.

Most of the time there is "that one guy" who'll rush the enemy team before anyone leaves to deal with our splitpusher and ruin it though. :<

This is a common mistake a lot of people seem to have.That really isn't the reason.Vamp wouldn't change anything.Any ad with vamp>ez with vamp.With tear you just don't trade at all you only poke and farm safely.You go 2x longswords if you have an all in support and hope they misposition.

The problem with ez in lane is that if you just stay in creeps you outtrade him straight up.So it all comes down to the supports.As I said if ez wins lane his opponent misplayed the lane.

I think the secret to winning bottom lane, especially with Ezreal, is poking down the support and bursting him.

Most supports don't stand in the creep wave and there's like a belief that you don't all-in the support if the AD is there so a lot of supports position dangerously.

When there is a Sona, she is going to be way, way easier to kill than an AD with Doran's Blade + Barrier.

Ez without tears does the same thing, except each poke is worth significantly more, and less room for error. There's nothing wrong with having a lane that plays off of enemy misplay, no one plays perfect.

Bad stuff happens when the support lives long enough do do damage + put an exhaust, netting his AD a double kill though...

Just see it as a "Hey there's some stuff you're currently doing which we don't think is cool, so we're just letting you know to reel it back a bit cause we really don't want to have to stage an intervention cause if that happens no one wins."

lol

I'd back PX over you any day of the week. You're an asshat. PX just has dumb ideas and won't back them up. You sir are a cancer to society because of how you behave and treat other TL members who are trying to play and learn in the same game as you.

Look at your stream thread. It's a cesspool of shit, even after I left it. Want to know why? Because you're infesting it with the plague.

I don't understand ezreal. When I get really fed in lane I still feel like I do no damage in team fights, even with trinity builds.


Because trinity isn't that good of an item.Not going blue build is still pretty pointless on ez.Might as well pick something else.Muramana rush is da best.


I've had a great time on Trinity Ez. Trinity/Botrk/CD boots are core. It feels weak before BotRK but very strong afterwards. You do more aa damage than blue, and still have excellent poke and very good disengage from fights. You can play really close to the edge while still remaining safe and it's very valuable to do so. You just don't have that full team kite potential that blue has.

I've only played a few games with it though.
