Tacos Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 And no, Akali is very bad right now. Diana and LB both easily outclass her as assassins. Yes you can still snowball and carry on her, but she's still suboptimal and there's no real point to picking her up when you can pick up Diana instead I guess, it's not so much that she's bad as she's not as good as other stuff There's the fact that Akali is unique with her hybrid damage, great sustain, stealth, high damage mark ability, an ultimate gap closer with three charges that resets upon kill or assist and doesn't rely upon a skillshot to reset, and zero mana issues as opposed to Diana. That's a pretty big difference in my opinion. Sure she is better top, but that's only because it's easier for her to survive lane up there and farm up until six. She still can carry and snowball just as well as everyone else. I haven't seen one good argument as to how she's suboptimal aside from "that's just how the meta is." Not to be harsh, it just doesn't make sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 And when I answered I recommended good carries like Annie and LeBlanc But, I mean, you can literally carry with almost every midlaner so there's really no point to that question And no, Akali is very bad right now. Diana and LB both easily outclass her as assassins. Yes you can still snowball and carry on her, but she's still suboptimal and there's no real point to picking her up when you can pick up Diana instead I guess, it's not so much that she's bad as she's not as good as other stuff I mean, I love playing Orianna support, but I don't recommend picking it up if you don't already play Ori, because things like Karma and Sona already do almost everything she does but better EDIT: Oh, though is worth noting that Akali is a better toplaner than Diana just due to how that meta works right now If you're gonna make a point about a champion at least back it up like otherwise it means all of shit. While Diana IS strong right now, she's being taken in the jungle, as that's where her strength comes from. Comparing a champ that's primarily jungle based to a champ that goes either mid or top is silly. Yeah, if you look it up you'll see that most of Diana's games in Plat+ ranked are played mid, but those numbers are also skewed towards Diana mains. Secondly, LB is in a really shitty spot right now. She's hovering at a nice 44% winrate as the meta just isn't in her favor. Not saying Akali is doing much better (Her winrate fucking DOVE this patch thanks to the changes), but backin' your shit up with facts is hella important for discussions regarding meta. TBH, Anivia is a really good AP carry to learn if you're willing to put in the time. Galio's also not doing so bad atm. Taking advantage of Runeglaive Ez is probably the easiest way to carry, though since he's still a broken piece of shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Ikaru Posted July 16, 2015 Administrators Share Posted July 16, 2015 I can support the notion of Anivia but I only really played her excessively way back in the day (she was the second champion I bought while she was still 6300 (two days before she got reduced to 3150 (GRUMBLE))). Gotta be able to hit that Q, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget the darn, Vel'Koz has been pretty strong recently with the item changes.

If you want a laner who isn't susceptible to high burst your best bet would be taking someone like Lulu mid or another champion with some type of sheild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anethia Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 It's really funny because the Riven bug affects all champions that have a spell that affects the casting bar you see when you recall which is damn near all if not all Champions in this god forsaken game. I can't really imagine how this happened, but I'm assuming they use the same bar for recalls and the channels so every champ may now instantly recall good job. Have fun abusing this on every champ as soon as you learn how to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 EXCUSE ME, SIR. PLEASE DO NOT MISUSE #pigswag. IT IS NOT A GENERAL SMILE NOR IT IS FOR PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE SITUATIONS. IT IS FOR WHEN YOU'RE FEELING PARTICULARLY PIGGLYWIGGLY AND AS SUCH YOU NEED TO EXPRESS IT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. That IS one way to do it sure, but if he's looking for something to pick up and learn, I'm not sure that's the way he's wants to go about it. Let's change my previous statement to include "get used to," then. I've been told by some diamond+ friends that it's not a bad way to learn, granted focusing on one something until you master it is obviously better. You pick up a bunch of champs, you experience a bunch of roles, and you gain general game knowledge. That being said, I can also see why you wouldn't want to do that.

EDIT: The name's DavidTheZettaNerd . PM me your LOL names! Tips eh? Here's some tips that'll help you fit right in: Don't die Kills are more important than anything else, always go for the kill even if it will get you killed too It's not your fault you lost lane, the jungler should have ganked you You have no map awareness Fuck off STOP FEEDING Focus Master Yi Stop stealing the support's CS It was lag STOP FOCUS TANK Dodge any game where you don't get to play the role you want Focus Teemo It's not your fault, [insert champion that just killed you here] is OP Tryndamere takes no skill Master Yi is so broken My four year old sister plays better than you If someone makes a mistake, yell at them until they ragequit That support that's going 0/2/19? They're bad and a feeder (Kills are all that matter) Let your ADC farm, even when there's an important teamfight going on at Dragon Always go for objectives without vision control, it never backfires They got a First Blood? GG Take the red buff while your team dies Backdooring is badass AF, always backdoor if you can Always pick the new champion (when there is one) even if none of the roles they can be played in are open Alexus is probably trolling you right now Okay, but srs: Play champs you like and try to have fun. Winning isn't that massively important outside ranked (and even then try not to freak out when you lose) Generally it's best to try champs on free and make sure you like them before buying them You see that Riven that just got a pentakill in a 2v5? Riven is not OP, the person playing her is just really skilled mechanically. Don't go buy Riven just so you can get a penta, because you won't get it Teemo is adorable (Yes, this is a serious tip) Teemo is Satan (as is this) You're new, realize that at least half the people you're playing with are better than you (AKA Smurfs) and know what they're doing. If they yell at you it's because they're used to better players and are frustrated, but what they're saying is likely to be true. Try to pick out the advice and ignore the rage The meta isn't everything, however some things are more optimal than others. So keep that in mind when deciding to pick up a new champion to fill a gap in your pool Try to focus on CSing well. It's generally much better to have good CS numbers than a good KDR, at least early on in the game. And it's also something that only gets better with practice, so starting sooner rather than later is best I recommend you start by trying to pick up someone with little mechanics (like Sona or Sivir) and just learn the larger strategy before trying to master any one champ Actually, related to one of my points up there. I still don't play any AD champs (well, outside Ashe for ADC, and that's sorta iffy) I'm working on picking up Varus and possibly Jarvan, but I'm wondering if anyone has any other recommendations? (Esp since Varus is like super niche) I mostly play midlane but my toplane pool is equally lacking. I won't play Yasuo, ever. And I'm bad at Zed and don't have the energy to work on mastering him (generally just not an assassin person, only assassins I really like are Akali and Diana) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
