It feels really bullshit when I'm 3-0 Quinn/Heimer/Ez top, and I used every moment alone in lane to push, and the 0/0 enemy bot lane with mediocre pushing power still takes first tower bonus. No, and you're never going to notice it except in the tiniest minority of games, considering the DR only lasts for 5 minutes.

Dancer posted:Another stupid af old-school thing: bankplank. By sheer happenstance, GP was my first ever main. I still remember this incredibly stupid game before I was level 30, where I sat on boots + double philo + triple hog and just farmed top lane until I had 10K gold saved. I remember a time where I installed LoL and played nidalee for the first 30 levels or so. I have foggy memories of that era, but I do remember her transform triggering tear and doing the analysis on weather archeangels or manamune was better. Yes, that combined with Iceborne Gauntlet was why I played nid mid and top.

kingcobweb posted:The answer to Pyke isn’t [x champion], it’s just playing around his cooldowns, same as any other hook support. Wait for him to miss, then move up and bully him for it until he backs off. He’s pretty squishy early on, so even him landing something doesn’t guarantee he won’t get blown up. Alistair is also an amazing counter to Pyke. If he hooks your carry, all in on theirs.

Miftan posted:Support pantheon. If the enemy adc is under half health just jump on them and kill them, if not your adc will have to burn some mobility if pike goes in, but then panth's point and click stun will usually kill him. Support Pantheon is a tragic waste of a good champion

The Dregs posted:They just nerfed his health specifically to stop him going all in whenever the hell he felt like it. I wonder how much it will affect him. Very little. It's basically a single auto, so you might get an edge case or two where you die when you normally wouldn't have, but not much more. Alistar's strength as a champion is that he functions effectively on zero gold, has a point-and-click AoE CC combo that an ape can execute, and has enough tools in lane to survive even into relatively bad matchups. If they wanted to hit him where it hurts, they could reduce the early numbers on his passive to make it easier to bully him and his duo during laning phase.

The only downside to having a alistar on your team is when you get those players who think they should pop his ultimate while at 5% health.

God help me I'm playing this video game again for the first time in a few months and after 2 years of being a mid/adc shitlord I can't stop playing Sion top. I always got annoyed at my silver/gold teams ARAMing constantly while at the same time not being able to actually do anything about it with whatever immobile teamfighter i was playing, playing a champion built to live in a sidelane and be barely contestable when the other team even realizes I exist is so cathartic and freeing

There was a recent Reddit thread about feed 2 win Sion if all you want to do is play PvE and best of all it doesn't really interrupt the game like those lovely "I'm playing double jungle support" builds that actually derail a whole game to play around you

When I was playing a lot of top I used to track how quickly I could take first tower as Yorick. Best I got was just under 8 minutes.

Tank-y Karma top is so much fun and feels sleeper strong. The buff to root is nuts for ganks, the healing is still great, dueling potential is there (especially against melees). The right item paths also mean you do strong sustained damage, while soaking up a ton of it. 40K damage games with 100K self-mitigated damage and 20-40K healing? Sign me up.
