Specifically, Akali must get into melee range to be most effective, but Rumble's shield + flamespitter dominate melee champions. In addition, all of Rumble's damage spells are non-targeted, meaning they can hit akali through smoke bomb. | ||

If you hit 6 without being too fucked, the matchup takes a turn and you are a bigger threat with 3 charges of R, at least in my opinion. Assuming he doesn't have his Revolver yet, you're able to do a good bit of magic with Q-R-Q-AA combos. You just have to pick your places to engage and disengage by using Smoke Screen as a slow and R as a tool to create distance between you and him. There's a good bunch of melee champions who can hold their ground against him just fine, it's just that you need a good gapcloser and preferably a tool to disengage, too. Wukong is a great pick against him for example, and I still believe Riven and Irelia eventually win that lane. | ||

From what I can remember from playing vs Udyr I max Q first and it actually goes crushing through his turtle especially if you autoattack cancel properly with Q. That ghoul deals like a million damage. However I agree it's tough if you don't gain a large advantage early on. Still I don't think Udyr can properly 1v1 you esp vs your ult so it turns into farmfest once you get a vamp scepter atleast, with turtle youheal like 50 hp per auto with turtle, at a certain point his shield + regen is just gonna be too much for yorick to even bother with | ||

Wu just trades really well over a similar time span as Rumble's cycle. I can't fully explain it tbh, but having played the matchup a bunch, I can pretty confidently say that it at least feels like Wu wins very handily. | ||

Engage right after flamethrower ends, basically. You have to abuse his cooldowns to the max, and also play silly mindgames with your W. Run towards him instead of away, for example. | ||

Wu stomps on people that don't stack armor with how crushing blow + arpen work. | ||

But his Q pushes the lane. So I personally wouldn't do it unless I am harassing my lane opponent or wish to push the lane. | ||

So let's say that assuming I want to bring my elo up from 1280 to 1500 and assuming I'm generally better than most people I play vs (If we don't get stomped in lane early because of either hardcounter lane or terrible mistakes by me or support I have like twice the farm of the next-best farmer and generally really nice KDA score) which of these would let me 1. Abuse noobs and 2. Be less reliant on my support to be good? By the way anyone else grin ear to ear every time opposing team picks Ezreal(Happens like every other game now)? They seem to be learning to play it for Pulsefire Ezreal and all these Ezreals are absolutely horrible and I love freewin lanes Kinda late, but, whatever. I'm assuming you already own Corki and Graves since you asked about them last time and now you just wanna pick up your next AD, yeh? If you want to crush kids who are worse than you at this game Ez does it better than all of those champions. Sure, Cait is strong in lane and Varus has utility and Kog is a late game monster but Ez is gonna let you quadra kill people who are worse than you with ease. The only issue with Ez is, as you pointed out, lots of people are playing him because of Pulsefire release imminent so he may get sniped away from you. I'd still say that Graves and then Corki are better for crushing people but Ez is pretty even to Corki's pubstomp strength. edit: Oh, Urgot really good at pubstomp too. And super easy to pubstomp with. | ||

Using it when I am going in for CS qualifies as harassing, doesn't it? I know you don't make full use of it, but I guess people are assuming it's not as bad because he's manaless, not taking into account that they basically open up a window for you to engage on them. | ||
