R range is 950 so I guess I can stay out of range of that, and also out of range of minion xp

I feel like if it were impossible to not get hit by Anivia combo her win rate would be like 90%

Wow it's like you're supposed to drop the ult on them not let it expand into them

Like the counterplay to anivia is to either get your jungler to gank her before she can double spell rotation you (requires jungle support) or you roam to top or bot and snowball your team

Anivia ult isnt actually 950 at rank 1. That's the range on the ult after it has maximized in size / been up for three seconds. But 700 range doesn't sound as scary.

Also forcing someone choose between farming with their spells and trying to hit you with them is an option.

except the champs that anivia is good against mid are people who have to get within that 700 range R>E>Q>E combo, which is why loving off to another lane @ level 6 if you don't have jungle support is the counterplay to anivia

sorry for being rude but anivia is extremely dangerous if you ever get hit by a Q or R so you want to try and fight her and get an advantage before 6 then hopefully your jungler will be ready to assist you in killing her or can make plays with you on your roams

Also she's hilariously slow and pre-6 she has no way to combo you that doesn't involve either pushing the wave or opening herself up to skillshots.

She's a lot like Veigar; yeah, she can dunk your poo poo in at 6, but thats because you let her get that powerspike uncontested. I would rather fight Anivia than Zed any day of the week.

So Jhin is pretty fun, although perspective has hosed me over and I've miss W'd a few times due to the opponent being knocked up into the air, and not where I thought they'd be, and I can't hit poo poo with his ult. But pretty fun.

Neurolimal
Nov 3, 2012
If it helps with your leading, the enemy can see the width lines of your ult and will immediately move to exit them if possible.

Also learn to just not use the other bullets if you know for sure that they've escaped the range, that CD refund can be quite handy.

good: miss fortune, kog'maw, trist, caitlyn, ashe, gragas, fiddlesticks

???: I like new graves but it's clear that he ended up totally different from how they expected, zilean had some growing pains but is in a fun place now,

bad: mordekaiser, skarner, shen, vel'koz, fiora, their 17 attempts at fixing ryze

eh: the rest

Vel'koz is decent now with the reversion of the nerf to his ult (it now stacks passive again) and even more buffs to his scaling. It took them some time but hes finally a decent midlaner now that doesn't fall off a cliff late.

Poppy was a pretty good rework too. She went from a gimmick-y piece of crap that was not fun to lane against to a decent top laner with a fun ult. Well before they nerfed her into the dirt I suppose.

I like the new malz but I understand that playing against him is a very painful experience as he is now. I mean he's always been strong in a laning 1 v 1 context, but you could gank the old malz at least. I'm not sure how they can balance him in his current form without trashcanning him.

Are there any heroes besides Mordekaiser that outright lose integral mechanics when not played on SR?

I guess Skarner on Howling comes close, since there's no altars in the bases (where the biggest game ending fights happen).

Brad is great on aram since if you hit with anything his passive gives you three spellthief stacks... or are you talking about Bart of Bigbart.com, the premier esports news site as reported by richard lewis.

i can deal with her fine actually, i play mostly top lane and ive never felt like a fiora was stomping my rear end in, i just find her really sucky to play as because the weak points are really fiddly, rng reliant, and she has a kind of dull binary thing going where either you hit her weak points and you win or you don't and you're doing fuckall

taric and sion's remakes were the best by a long shot. soraka's was good too although i still sometimes pine for point and click silence (or reaching even farther back, infinite ally mana)

Firebert
Aug 16, 2004
Poppy and Sion were the best reworks. They took poo poo designs and modernized them while salvaging what they could from the original kit. Gangplank is also top tier rework though he needed a lot less of an overhaul; his visual update and Tristana's were both really good.

Hello.
I'm one-third of the way through level 29. Summoner's Rift is junk and Howling Abyss is good. Someone please try to convince me that I'm wrong, because the Ranked queue is about to open up.

I like the gameplay on rift more but a lot of times it just doesnt feel worth it to spend 45 minutes and maybe have a fun game.
