My only two legit pentakills were both in ARAM. One was a Vayne game where I just kinda attack-moved into five people at the 4 item mark, and one was a 4v5 as Jinx where I tried to reset on the minion wave to buy and our Sona took minion aggro, killed half the minions, and delayed our deaths long enough that the enemy team just walked up and won for free.

Yeah it’s wild how the best players in the world have OTHER pros against them in lane who know how to trade/harass on an elite level and they still all hit incredible cs numbers

Keep in mind that you're also looking at like the top 0.01% of people playing the game. Maybe even top 0.001%. I mean, the pros are a few dozen people and how many millions play League?

Don't take cs/min goals seriously in actual games; if you are practicing against the AI or uncontested then sure, you should have like 90 cs minimum at 10 mins. But realistically when you are being contested in lane 70-80 at 10 is fine and you can make up a lot of the difference between 10-20 mins when you get your first buy. Given how snowbally the game still is, you should almost always lose some last hits to shove the wave quickly to roam/get an advantageous back or lose half a wave to tower to roam to other lanes or help your jungler. And if you are in a terrible matchup, you should 100% not overreach for cs and lose xp/tower plating.

Play TT where your cs per minute doesn't matter and you can have 6 cs/min and still be a-okay.

Remember that every TT match you play adds one hour to the life of the game mode. If enough people play it, maybe it won't be deleted!

again: kill is roughly 17 cs, assist who loving knows, and tower gold augments your income. do not worry about how much cs you have as long as you have more than the other guy and your item timings are reasonable. sometimes(*) games are lower economy because things get frantic and that is alright. if everyone has no cs, and you have 30 cs by 10 minutes, you are by far the strongest person in the game. if you have no cs and 20 kills, you are by far the strongest person in the game. everything is relative.

*almost never applicable to high diamond+ play, but if you are at that level you probably do not need cs advice anyway

very high level games do not have the same laning dynamics as lower level games. since people are very perceptive to timing windows at high elo(going to say diamond 3+ here just to throw off a figure but it probably varies from region to region and depending on how late it is in the season), players tend to be less likely to overextend to harass. doing so actually slows down your lane economy, you might be able to procure an advantage, but then you delay your own power spikes, which then makes it harder to synchronize timing windows to force objectives with your team. when you see pro players play very aggressively like that in a way where they miss cs in order to have better attack opportunities, it is an extremely deliberate action and something that is very sharp and noteworthy. watch a high level adc player sometime and you will see exactly what i mean. since high level players are not likely to make stupid positioning mistakes either, the only way to harass is to go out of your way to do it, 90% of the time.

The best game mode is Protect the Nunu. It's a custom 4v4 and each team has a Nunu bot set to beginner. First team to have their Nunu die loses.

you should be above that if youre doing last hitting practice. i wouldnt hold anyone to that unless their lane opponent is basically not in the game. you can probably do it consistently if you outclass your opponent, but then you should just be killing them instead

its funny that you say this but my only game i averaged 10 cs/m in i was playing as singed so my lane opponent basically was not in the game

I think I've only had 3 pentas in rank as a mid, if you play adc you probably can get many more. It's funny I don't think won any of those games where I got a penta in ranked.

On a side note I been loving the updated champions such as Akali, Irelia and even Urgot is fun. The older champions don't feel fun to play compared to them, at least for me.

On Riot's update schedule it shows Kayle is next. I wonder if they will give Kayle a dash or blink, they gave Eve a blink when previously her w was a ms buff and Urgot got a small dash even though it doesn't go through walls. If she doesn't get a mobility spell, I am guessing she will have a grounded thing like Singed or Cassio or straight some hard cc in her kit somewhere. I think if she gets hard cc or dash/blink and keeps same dps + invulnerability. She will be pretty strong.

Has there ever been a time when Vi has been bad in anything that isn't ARAM? Even there she still punches faces pretty well.

I started around the time she came out and pretty much the entire time she's been good but not all that popular. A shame, really; she's fun.

Vi got massive buffs over the summer, she was quite bad for like 2 years before then. She's one of the champs that desperately needs a gameplay update but won't get one, her whole kit is held back by her ult being really good for getting to the backline.

"Properly tuned to be modestly playable" is why they were reworked in the first place you dunce. Not a single one of the reworked champions had a kit that was worth a poo poo unless it was tuned to be completely loving busted.
