I guess I just don't understand what's so difficult about pressing W, and then pressing Q right after... Are people on high latency waiting for the animation to start or something? Just fucking hit the W key, and then the Q key...

It is easy if you are already in W range. Because you can just press W then immediately Q, there is no confirmation needed for the W since you know it will go off.

It is hard when you are not in W range yet and you have to chase someone to get in range. It's kind of hard to predict when you will be in range and you may need to confirm W by looking at the animation.

The people who miss Ali combo are the ones that queue W and walk into range before trying to Q.

Trying to guess when he'll walk into range is a lot harder than walking into range before using WQ.

Yup. So long as you press q before the w hits.

Unless you're at the wrong distance at the start of your w and the knock back pushes them out of the q range even though you had the right button mashes.

I wouldn't mash.

Just plink W->Q and it works every time as long as your W is in range. I also use smartcast.

That is, just hit Q a single time around a frame after W, works always. Can also be slower but you can do it very very fast and it's still ok.


Lol sound's like we someone is teaching how to get "1-frame links" down hahaha

I'm with Shikyo on this one. Spend like 30 minutes in a custom game to get the timing on W->Q and you can do the combo easy on probably any ping. The combo actually becomes super inconsistent if you try to mash it out on 220-230 ping.

Now that there are Australian servers I'm basically living the dream~

Holy shit I just had a Malph in my game and our ADC suggested he do that build, with Ghostblade as well. Is it an extension of Trinity Malph?

And in the same game I collected my first LeBlanc freelo of the season. Feel kinda bad about it.

There was an AD Malph that wrecked Nightblue on stream earlier on

I think the idea is that you can ult in and get in a few hits really quick for massive AOE burst with brutal strikes?

yeah sotd malph has been kinda a thing for a while now. it's really gimmicky but it's so funny if you can get it to work. I saw some guy literally go sotd into IE as his item path, and their adc couldnt do shit in a teamfight.

I wish I could just pick one champion and play almost every game with him and I won't get bored after playing 2-3 games with it :\ I think I could do that only with LEE SINGU. Can't think of any other champ. Maybe Vi would do the work, because of how awesome she is.

I've been doing that with Lee Sin but I've started to give in and play Vi and Elise when they're not banned because I may as well ride the freelo

Watching the locodoco reminds me of when NA hadn't adopted the AD/support meta, there was a general feeling that it's the better way simply because Dota had ran it forever and it sorta made sense on paper, but everyone was just like, it doesn't FEEL right, which is kinda the reason why gamers don't adopt new strategies in general.

Dexter on Alex Ich stream atm, so he's still in EU.

Wth is CLG doing? I know bureaucracy can take time, but I also know money can generally solve that problem.

Why no one is playing Graves anymore? Is there something wrong with him? For example if you compare him with Lucian, they have similar skill sets to some extend, however, Graves has better starting statistics + better scaling on most of his ratios, still no one picks him

Champions that do a bunch of damage but don't have gapclosers. Like Olaf, Shyvana, maybe Nasus?
