The enemy team is so afraid of getting stuck into Karthus' Defile unless they can 100% burst him that they won't bumrush if he's standing in front of the AD carry himself, which allows your actual "frontliners" to stand on the side and flank the enemy team. That's what happened with Elise every fight, and pretty often with Shen too. I always thought that Karthus passive is one of the worst designed single abilities in the game. An ability that actually rewards you for dying is just bad | ||

He's fallen out of favor or some reason but if I was building team comps, I'd get Karthus every game that he doesn't have to face a disadvantageous lane. Default Karthus, win any match past 40 minutes. | ||

Also he is one of the only mages that "counters" the stupidity of hooks, both blitz and thresh. The risk/reward equation for those moves lategame is way out of whack, unless you have Karthus :p | ||

Because you can go to him, while he's cc'd and can't try to run to your team once he knows he's dead. plus your E and R make it harder for him to suicide rush, unless he uses his flash. | ||

^ A lot of the players actually don't even skill E until Q and W are maxed. A slow is pretty good though, and checks bushes. | ||

Exter, why would you try as non-fed Diana to solo aegis/locket Nasus... Oh well, I guess the rest of the team uses that well. Let's engage 4v5, it'll go well. zzz Even 3v5 in a sense since Shen has to ult to come in. "Hey, Kha'Zix! Here are people to feed you resets!" The game's over. Giants! decision-making and teamfight execution is just too bad for them to get any chance at a comeback. | ||
