Nono I mean the whole "oh wow x not banned enjoy the disco"/"wow wasting bans on y what a smart player". Which at least on euw is almost every game so it might actually not be worth. If you are confident you can carry even if your team walks in with the tilt then it is fine but otherwise doesn't seem like a good risk to take.

If that is a significant issue then yea. The tilt is real. Unfortunately I can't actually look at that with the data I have. I don't find that banning phase usually has that kind of effect though of course my experiences probably differ from yours

Lux does tend to be strong vs champs that engage by running at you, its true.

She also does well in lane vs. Viktor and Azir.

I completely forgot to mention in the previous Fiora discussion that Irelia seems pretty good against her. Haven't seen one not do well against Fiora.

how does irelia do against garen and darius? after months of maining bruiser fizz i'm pretty sure sticking with that is a mistake with the latest changes.

i know i should just play malphite top now, but after fizz the complete lack of mobility and early kill pressure is kind of unfun and i've been considering putting some real effort into learning irelia and can't really decide between the two champions.

I could see that as long as Irelia can reliably not get her Equilibrium Strike Riposted.

I just don't see Irelia out trading Fiora unless she can stun her. It has nothing to do with skill maxing.

garen sucks in lane now but it used to be a good matchup for garen, probaby not the best pick but a good irelia rapes everyone if they aren't smart so it won't matter
probably similar with darius its not the best matchup to pick against darius but irelias really good.

Since Luxs winrate is so high you guys should go play her and test the builds in the guide and give feedback.

I wonder if the juggernaut guys are really so insanely strong or it's just the fact that they in line with the old carry top lane that we used to see so now they feel so much stronger because top lane as been neutered for so long. Also they most likely rather polarizing as they can just take over a game which is what people will always remember more than the times they got stomped. The number of times I've had to explain skarner/darius's mechanics to people has made me lose faith in European education.

Having said that they prob are over tweaked lol

They are really insanely strong. All three tops are in the top 6 of win and play rate. With only champions that they do poorly against (wukong, heimerdinger, malphite) or fit the same kind of play style (dominate lane->win game) coming close and all of those with lower pick rates. (And we kind of expect that higher pick rates correlate with lower win rates)

They have to be as a function of their design, that or overly weak.


Ed: Morde has a 65% win rate and as far as I can tell only a 2% pick rate because vayne and janna have strong pick rates and are good against him. (That is if Morde is unbanned janna/vayne are likely to be picked, so morde goes unpicked)

So basically they're all fucking ridiculous and I def need to redo my bans with the updated info.


Interesting results:

Purple bans should be Vayne, Ahri, Lux. Blue Bans should be Morde, Jinx, Darius.*

Pure Margin(with Morde) is Ahri, Lux, Vayne, Darius, Blitz, Annie, Garen, Fiora, Riven, Malphite, Braum

Pure Margin(ignoring Morde) is Ahri, Lux, Vayne, Jinx, Darius, Blitz, Annie, Ashe, Sivir, Garen, Fiora, Riven,

*if i leave Morde out potentially because his winrate on champion.gg is incorrect then the path is Ahri, Vayne, Jinx for purple and lux, darius, blitz for Blue.


There are too many high win rate, high play rate junglers to make it make sense to ban them out. Additionally the bad junglers aren't so bad or so common that you're likely going to push them to something horrible. Top has, more or less, the same problem. But not quite so strong.

I'm not sure what thread I'm meant to ask this but I'll try it here.

What is the best way to deal with someone that starts raptor champ for top lane while you don't? I never know if you meant to start a soft push so you even out levels or just try deny as many creeps as possible top lane. Alternatively when should or shouldn't you start raptors on a top laner. I tried it out with Fiora while the enemy top pushed the lane, it gave me a massive load of CS but levels were evenish.

Have you tried causing a slowpush against you and calling for early jungler support?

My method is to only lasthit first 3 melee minions, and then kill ranged and first minion from 2nd wave asap. That way I get level 2 by the time opponent comes to lane and I have tp and minion advantage, so I try to go for aggressive trades and keep lane pushed so that he doesn't get level 3 long before me. I try to go back and tp to lane around 4th-5th minute, hopefully after an aggressive trade. I usually get an advantage 1v1 in that way, but of course that means I'm pushed early and a level 3 gank can fuck me hard (but usually with help of minions and flash I can survive).
Americans don't like to use unblockables, it is considered not honest. You press a button at the wrong time and hit the other person, you are random, not a top player. You DP Sim's far fierce, it is random and not honest.

I haven't tried that. My concern was mainly to keep up in levels with him but it could work as most junglers started bottom side in Solo q.

@AlterKot - I think that's what the guy did to me when I went raptors but the wave built up huge on his side so I landed up getting a ton of easy farm. However he was awful and didn't even bring TP so that game prob tells me nothing lol. Who tries to counterpick Fiora with a Swain. Mindboggling lol. Any streamers play top a lot that maybe show off what they do?

then you are even levels and he has more pots so he just doesnt let you push it in and freezes wave in front of his tower

I wonder how many years it will be before Riot figures out a way to balance the jungle so that nobody can get an advantage by doing the junglers stuff at level 1.

They've been trying since season 3 and no matter what they do people still figure out ways to screw with it.

Yea you have to basically kill him if you do that because he just has way better sustain and now you're in a dangerous lane position. I guess you could back and TP but then you merely getting a bunch of pots as it's too early to buy anything else. Feels like a waste of a tp.

Dunno it's pretty balanced if you duo jungle but some retarded junglers don't want to do it/ don't understand it.
