Something to do with how detection works in LoL I guess. So long as you cast windwall before the actual projectile connects you can block it?

I'm talking about after the windwall has hit its final resting place (or very close to). Like I can be in front of that with a direct path to Yasuo, and it will be blocked.

Here's two pictures of what I'm talking about:

It might have to do with where the game considers the projectile is launching from for the first case, the second case seems batshit insane to me and should never happen. And no, he's not anywhere near the wall and its at its resting point in the 2nd case.

Honestly, I think his laser behaviour is fine. Just have to know you ranges. I smart cast it and have no problems microing it. Compared to managing three control groups of Dragoons it's very very easy.

Although I suppose I can see how people have issues with it. I dunno, I think it should be hard anyway, otherwise Viktor becomes boring and "too strong" and suddenly he gets gutted somewhere else.

You mean you aren't supposed to do that as jungle Rammouse?

I would like to discuss cow top some, as I just started playing it yesterday. I play support cow and played him jungle back in the day so I have some experience with him.

Im in gold so im no expert and I haven't tried him in ranked yet. Blind pick in OCE is .... high variance so I cant say how good it really is but it feels solid. I was looking for a tanky top to add to my pool, and my Maokai trial wasn't great. Felt good in lane, but I died to ganks a lot.

9/21 is all I've tried, and ive tried a few different rune set ups. Almost always armour yellows and mr blues, tried mpen reds with ap quints, armour reds with hp yellows and armour quints, and hpen reds with ad quints. I really liked the hpen reds, quints I used ad mostly for lack of a better option in blind pick. In ranked I think I will run defensive quints appropriate to my lane opponent.

Starting flask with pots, up to 2 mana pots depending on how much heath regen I will need early. Took w 1st going R>W>Q> E. Using w almost on cd, making effort to be as obnoxious as possible by denying them the creep they were trying to last hit (extra points for cannon minion of course).
Saving q for disengage seems to be important for mana management and gank safety, as well and keeping the trades as one sided as possible.

Rushing a sheen into tank has been working well for me, only finishing trinity after frozen heart and visage. I haven't tried trinity into shiv yet, but I like the idea of it and will try it next time.

The gank assist is great, along side his powerful disengage and extreme tankiness with ult make it a tough lane to be ganked and almost invulnerable under turret. Playing cow top reminds me of Nunu top is a few ways.

Really? i have not met anyone who has not had issues with fadeaway lasers causing them to reposition Viktor instead of casting the laser.

Though i find the argument that this mechanical issue would cause Viktor to become OP kinda foolish as we note that you are not challenger tier and yet "don't have any problems smartcasting it". I suppose either you don't care about winning games or Viktor wouldn't be OP with a laser behavior change which made it easier to cast max range lasers.

Not quickly, no. The fastest way would be to look up pick/bans and then reference score screens, I think.
