will report back how it goes so it turns out that you need a really strong initiator and tank in your top lane for it to work out :/ | ||

I bet he can reach diamond division even with zed support/adc and this goes for every champ imo. Game is so complex that it provides too many tools for higher elo players to dominate, outside of a particular champ/role . Its D1 and above where the skill gap between the players goes low enough for an assessment if a unorthodox pick can actually work or not :-) | ||

I recently won a game with adc Annie (IE first ofcourse), with my AP ezreal support. Won lane, wont game. After my first blood and second kill ofcourse Ezreal had to feed to kill back, while he was completely alone in the lane, just to make the lane harder, but in the end it really doesn't matter what you play. You only have to play it well enough. Also, whenever I watch some challenger streams, be it qtpie or nightblue, I see a whole lot of trollpicks, either barely working/not working or straight up destroying a lane simply because the knowledge to win the matchup just isn't there or someone got a role they just don't play and don't know how to platy it out. Knowledge is a very big factor in this game. | ||

There's a bunch where he's pressured to get an advantage before the first back (and TP makes it even worse) and so either he goes flask and tries to harass down people, or dblade and balls to the wall before their pots start can outlast his mana pool. Flask and 2 mana pots is more then enough to always throw spears never not throw spears. | ||

No knowledge required, stand back, spam Q, you'll deal damage eventually and it's not like he has mana costs. Its a nice theory, but his every skill is a skillshot, and eventually you're gonna have to land a couple of those in teamfights. No worse feeling than losing a teamfight or even a 1vs1 because you just kept missing q. | ||

He's also playing in an elo that understand that his poke leads to free fights and won't put him in a position where he needs to land everything. | ||
