i dont think two adcs trading kills when one has his support around and the other doesnt is a sign of imbalance

After many random champions I have found that CSing with Malzahar is the easiest thing in the world.

Any other champions that are amazingly easy to do a thing on?

It is, but its also really easy to shove the lane. Malz is very gankable

In silver flex where I'm practicing him this is not an issue because the enemy laner is always super aggressively pushing as well for some reason.

What do people think about champion pools nowadays?

A guy on Reddit recently made this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1299T6fTssP29VqiLM3f1cl15lGT7lmm6X73D79RHKto/edit#gid=125602542

Looking at it, I've doubled-down on adding Malzahar to my list. Where are you guys getting your league-specific numbers? I'm looking for easy champions to play in Silver/Gold when I'm not Janna.

Make your team upset.

Or push really hard.

I prefer the former.

Just tried to cheese the enemy team by throwing a sapling at around 1:45 into their red buff to steal the first buff from the enemy jungle, their support ends up last hitting it instead, and then for some reason starts raging at their jungler in all chat and intentionally feeds our bot lane the red buff and then goes AFK, which is then followed by their ADC going afk at level 5. Got a fat +22 LP.

I need to play Vel'Koz more. I have a hard time with him since he has no mobility and like the tiniest bit of CC. At least Lux has a good snare!

Also, I have 1/3 mastery tokens I need for Mastery 7 on Kha'Zix. Should have it finished by the end of the week at the latest :black101:

Just ban Zed and don't put yourself in dangerous situations. Wait for the other team to clump up for your ult and.... profit.

How do you fish for solo kills in lane? Just try to poke down with his Q, and land your combo if they stand out of position?

You have to really learn how to use Q. You're usually going to get someone with the perpendicular bounce, not the first part of the skill.

You can win with Vel'koz by just pushing lane and being safe then teamfighting in the mid game, but once you get a good feel for Q it's much easier to lane.

When you hit Q, toss out both W and E and hope they hit with the Q slow. This is a great harassment rotation, it should proc thunderlord's, and if they're low at all and you hit E (and sometimes not even if you hit E), you can usually kill them/push them out of lane with your ult. Also, don't underestimate how much it hurts to get someone with an occasional W when they're in the minion wave as it should be the skill you're maxing and is the core of your damage output.

Skill build should almost always be R --> W --> Q --> E for solo lane vel'koz. Start Q.

e: come to think of it, half of my solo lane kills are people just not understanding how much damage barrier shields for

If you hit them with Q, you can hit them with E and then W.

Then ult and murder them.

Wait this champ has 4 hard CCs wtf

Drone_Fragger
May 9, 2007


Given he has an aoe stun/knockup, an aoe %hp damage spell which also makes him immune to CC, a gapclosing charge, and a ulti with a ridiculous range you can cast twice which is also AOE CC, I would be very surprised if people don't play him solely in jungle anyway.

edit: honestly looking at his kit he's going to suffer the nautlius treatment: Absurdly good in three rolls (top, jungle and support) and get nerfed into the loving ground because of it once people realise it.

Can you imagine any ADC who has CC with this guy? Anything that lets him set up his AOE stun or combine with his brittle effect will be ridiculously unstoppable botlane.

Is there an explanation of what the items are that he makes or how he enhances them for others? I'd assume he's gonna be low damage considering how much CC he pumps out but he looks weird.
