The ability to walk is underrated as a hard-counter

Very bored and very caffeinated, posting this skillshot dodging I managed which I thought was hilarious. Why did I think it was hilarious? Because being out of position, I panicked and was misclicking hardcore; this was an accident.

Edit: For the entirety of two people who think this was some sort of Dodge program, let me teach you how the game's pathing system made Soraka turn around with an illustration;

I clicked to move (or rather, was holding the button down, which means there will not be a green move-to icon) on the fire brazier. Blue line shows what the pathing was going to be after the 0:16 second mark when it happened. It's understandable that some would miss that and think I'm a cheater, but understandable as it might be, it's annoying.

With a Rito name like that, I figured you'd suggest a few "good vibrations" instead.

He wasn't playing Miss Fortune, so that would be impossible.

And even then using Bullet Time would have the effect of removing the OP's ability to dodge the abilities he did.

Once I barely made it out alive of a fight (as Raka too :D) because a huge minion wave stopped me from walking directly into a Karma q. I was clicking right at that spot too but the minions wouldn't let me die Dx.

Ahaha, gotta love the pathing code (sometimes)

That's an awesome accident!

If only every champion had to land skill shots and couldn't gap close directly on top of you from half the lane away, then dodging might actually be a useful skill. As it stands it's only useful against some mid lane champions and supports.

its a shame i dont have mine recorded, was playing as quinn and was dodging skill shots from 3 diff champs all using their ults and chasing me in my bird form

It's awesome because it's raka who has 0 escapes. Soraka

Deep Terror NamiNov 17, 20142 votes

You could argue that the new Raka does; a well placed (E) Equinox can root a pursuer as they chase you, or force them to take a detour around it. Though here I had already used it.

Replay programs such as BaronReplays (my poison of choice) and Lolrecorder don't record a video, they save a small replay file which can be later viewed through the client at your leisure as if you were spectating a live match. Keeping one of those on to save all your (non vs. AI) matches is not a bad idea, as there is no downside. Though here I recorded straight off my GPU using Nvidia's Shadowplay.

Everybody makes a play (whether on purpose or not) sometimes; would love to see yours too!

i do have lolrecorder just i dont record every game just b/c i dont want to go deleting the ones that i dont want to remember about. like that one game where i felt like trolling and go 0/25 or that other game where i go revive tp in a ranked game(for the record my team still won that game) etc.
