How Rude posted:Xin is broken and going to be permabanned probably so good luck actually playing him. Thanks. For lane cheese, just do the normal thing at L1 and shove the second wave asap to get to L2 & all-in? What do you do against ranged champs (e.g. Graves top)? EDIT: Or loving Teemo.

exethan posted:you can't QSS knockups Yeah you can, it just doesn't do anything unless you have another movement ability. Ex: you can QSS a knockup and then immediately flash, but it doesn't make a difference for you walking out of it.

You can also qss yasuo ult. It doesn't stop you from taking the damage but it lets you start to get away from him while he's locked in the animation

It's a shame you can no longer Zhonya's Yasuo ult by just mashing the button really fast. That kinda ruined his fun.

Fozzle posted:I play a lot of Naut. It's all about picking idiots with your hook to start fights. Your hook range is quite large and people constantly don't respect it and like blitz you can turn around games with it. Unless your team is far ahead I wouldn't bother trying too hard to backline, because on a support budget you usually will die and then your carries will die. That said don't be afraid to be in the thick of things. Ult their carry/whoever is on their backline to disrupt them and likely their whole team, and then be an impenetrable barrier with your passive and riptide as people try to get past you to your carries. To expand on the Braum play. He's not an initiate tank. He's the guy that sits directly in front of your carry and blocks skill shots while tossing out Q's to hopefully get a slow on someone out of position that someone else can jump on. If your team gets initiated on your job is to ult and then start showing as many people the back of your hand as you can. Spread the stun love.

AHH FUGH posted:lol Everyone in NMD is saying it's some amazing masterpiece or something It's weird because MBDTF is objectively the best album ever made and Yeezus was so different in every way but still really good in it's own right, so it's not like a Kanye album HAS to be like MBDTF to be good now. I've only gone through TLOP one and a half times so far so I don't have an opinion yet, but Yeezus took me a lot longer to like than basically anything else he's done so I think I'll have to summon patience for TLOP too

Are there any seriously bad matchups for Xin top right now? I've been playing with reasonable success although he does have the obvious get hosed with no mobility if ganked issue. I think Poppy might be annoying but otherwise he seems to own in the top lane

Coca Koala posted:After finally having enough of random teams bitching at me that "We need a tank" when I pick Sona, and then having top, mid, and jungle go 0/5, 07, and 0/3 before they FF at twenty for "GG no tank", I bought Braum and Nautilus. As part of the pro-healthbar lobby, unfortunately all I can offer you is that you have to Play A Lot Of Games. A lot of what you are trying to do is disrupt the enemy's ability to fight or flee and force them to shoot you instead of things they would rather shoot, such as Viktor. Knowing what it is you should be doing beyond "hit big ult on many man" requires you to have at least a basic understanding of what a champion's potential is (example: don't try to flash hook Ahri if she has ult up, don't burn big cooldowns on Alistar when he's ulting for god's sake) Honestly I feel like Braum is one of the most challenging tanks to teamfight since you have the unique ability to forcibly redirect burst onto yourself using shield. Getting the most out of him requires a lot of awareness. I think Alistar's a much easier place to start, especially now that they've made his combo into a kombo. Play linebacker and headbutt people away from whoever you think is worth protecting, or flash in, pulverise everyone, and throw someone without a dash back into your team. Once you get a couple items your ult makes you into a goddamn terror where people have to decide whether to waste cooldowns trying to kill you or just let you walk in and do whatever you want to their backline. Both options are bad but even in professional games I see teams repeatedly trying to burst down the ulting Alistar. A lot of time you don't even have to hit anything, simply existing at them with your super armor is enough to give your team a big advantage.

Right after it pops, before he hits you with abilities. If you can delay at all you can also block the 300ish base damage, but that's less significant. The thing about Zhonyaing Zed ult, is that if you do it just after you're probably also blocking 2 shurkens and an e as well.

henkman posted:Malphite is probably a rough matchup, just like he is for any mostly physical melee that scales with attack speed Malph is actually one of Xin's better matchups because you can all in him early on before Malph's armor stacking really kicks in. Poppy, Riven, Cho and Shen are all pretty rough matchups for Xin because they have ways to play around his aggression. Vlad is apparently a really bad matchup for him too, though it seems rather counter-intuitive.

Poppy, Riven, Cho and Shen are all pretty rough matchups for Xin because they have ways to play around his aggression. Vlad is apparently a really bad matchup for him too, though it seems rather counter-intuitive. The reason is because you need to pick Vlad with Q before you use E or he'll just pool and electric slide away. The slowing component of his W combined with the slight movespeed boost it gives him means he'll escape Xin's E slow and AA range 100% of the time.

henkman posted:Champion.gg and my personal experiences disagree with this post, but ymmv Hmm... yeah, looking at the stats you're right. Still, according to champion.gg top Xin has a 46% overall win rate, so I guess the answer to if he has bad matchups is yes, he has lots of them.

Yeah, also it's still fairly early in the patch and it looks like most people who play xin top don't have many games on him in the first place

We live in an age where people just spaz on a track with horrible mixing and mastering and it has no form or structure and people call it record of the year because it's not cool to like music that doesn't clear out your sinuses Kanye has gone down that path and most people calling it good are saying it's good because its 1. New and 2. Probably a good idea to say it's good because you don't want to be the last person to the "it's good" party Kind of like when Illaoi came out goons were clammoring to say that she was hella loving sick nasty in top lane Kanye is the Donald Trump of music

There are definitely sings on tlop that I don't think are amazing but sitting down and listening to the full album is a great listen. If you hear kanye and go 'ugh it's just spaz back tracks that sounds bad' then I honestly don't know what to say to you or your music tastes. Like what's appealing to you, instrumentals of a single acoustic guitar strumming the same chord every other beat?

Just listened to TLOP and it sounds pretty minor, like a compilation of leftover tracks  edit: it just doesn't move forward in any way from current music, like 808s and MBDTF and Yeezus were so shockingly different from other stuff coming out at that time, and this record just... isn't. It could have come out in 2009
