People have to stop moving to cs. Every cs is at least a 1/2 damage q.

And farming with karthus aa is pretty easy, about like old anivia auto.

Thoughts on Voli top? Obviously standard tank works well on him, can engage in mid wave fights while ignoring minion damage, and the execute on W.

That is harassing. I am talking about level 1 all in as Karthus.... I honestly do not think it works.

It depends on the matchup but its entirely possible. This is especially true because Karthus tends to pack exhaust which he can use as soft CC.

E.G. I am veigar, my team invades. I take E to stun and we get FB. Karthus comes back to lane and all in's me at 1. I've got no damage, only a 1.5 second stun so i've got no pressure against the forward push, exhaust combo.

I was probably out of position, and if i had had my Q it might not have worked. But he sure as shit got my flash and pushed me out of lane. When i came back he was too far ahead to beat.

You just harass them. If they decide to fight back, you can do a all-in to gain advantages since they have to stop to aa/cast to win the trade. Karthus cannot force an all-in for sure , he can only bait one since people are so ignorant about his weird lv 1 power spike.

Im sure this has been asked so much but I still haven't found a definitive answer. Does anyone know if you can get demoted a tier, like Plat --> Gold? And if so how many times must you lose to actually get demoted?

From the Ranked FAQ: Last season, you couldn’t be demoted to a lower tier unless you went afk for a long, long time. This season, we’re giving players who’re promoted into division V a shield that stops them from dropping into a lower tier for 10 games. If their MMR falls more than a full tier below their current tier once those 10 games are over, they’ll get a warning on their profile. For example, a Gold V player with a Silver V MMR would get a warning. Continuing to lose games at 0 LP gets them demoted to division I of the next lowest tier – in our example, Silver I.

TL;DR: you will basically never get demoted unless you choose to troll every single game.

Oh god, this is true. I remembered trying to all in lvl 1 when I thought I was "ahead" of a Karthus. I landed a skillshot + auto on him when I dodged two Q's. Then he just exhausted me and all in'd. I had to burn my flash cause otherwise I would've been dead. =(

My friend hit his head and got a concussion but didn't realize it was a real concussion. He went on a 50 game losing streak and his MMR dropped from plat to silver.

To lose 500 Elo you need to lose about 30-40 games. That's almost impossible.
