but remember guys, you can't win without destroying towers

edit: yes we had Nami, but what i meant is that none of our "damage" role was ranged

Yo, Nami's ranged. This title's misleading!

AhristocatsJan 23, 20171 votes

[slayer-pantheon-thumbs] but does she make a difference in tower pushing

BirboniusJan 23, 20174 votes

Actually,yes. So much CC people can't get near,so easy pushing for the rest of the team [slayer-pantheon-popcorn]

this season everything does including nami

vampirekid13Jan 23, 20172 votes

lol. fiora and yi eat towers alive.

either way though, good job. its hardly worth doing since whatever yi did would of been done better from range.

AhristocatsJan 23, 20171 votes

Our Yi was an autofilled jungler

but the general opinion of board is that if you don't have a ranged champion you can't push towers

DynikusJan 23, 20171 votes

You can. Splitpushers are typically melee. It's just that having ranged champions for sieging is nice.

AhristocatsJan 23, 20171 votes

we didn't split push at all, But they couldn't do anything later in the game because if someone approached kassadin would have said goodbye to them

SwarmerJan 23, 20171 votes

did you know ? Season 7 doesnt require anything ranged, for example botlane has been turned either in mage/supp or double bruiser.

AhristocatsJan 23, 20171 votes

yet in this game bot lane had none of those

But like, legit questions as the elo of the game is pretty good.

How the f*ck do you even lane as Darius against Vayne/Thresh? (u were botlane right?)
How good did you feel trinity is on Darius, especially against squishies? Cause we know Darius has a pretty insane base AD, but ppl often get BC over tri for the bleed synergy
Yi no boots? Kek

AhristocatsJan 23, 20172 votes

can't answer for 3) our jungler was autofilled

for 1) i suggest you to look at this to get an idea of how you lane bot with darius https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpQFvr8vejc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfwuqCkq9ao

if you need more informations on laning phase i suggest you to look at my full guide http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/TAXEZVbL-adc-darius-full-guide-on-how-to-carry

basically all you need to do is fight non-stop, if you look at my match history i crushed SK vardags as vayne bot lane https://i.gyazo.com/488b6c2f358ba8f79eaad79b08cf412b.png

for 2) imo trinity>black cleaver. BC is a noobtrap on darius simply because you need trinity and stacking them isn't good cause you can't always afford to get the 2 together

you need trinity for the attack speed, sheen proc which allows you to destroy tower faster

Well they dont have a lot of safe wave clear anyway. And that Vayne build is.. lel

Had a match with a Yasuo / Riven as my bot laners. My top laner wanted to report them at the beginning of the match for "trolling". They proceeded to completely dominate their lane and the rest of the match after lane phase. Must have been a fluke, but I'm glad it worked that time. Nice to see some off the wall comps work from time to time. All in good fun.

Irelia BotJan 23, 20171 votes

I kinda want to try Jax + Panth bot now.

AhristocatsJan 23, 20171 votes

i don't think it will work, you need a ranged champion bot lane in laning phase

but hey, you can try if you want

JackMcSnipeyzJan 23, 20171 votes

Try sion and panth, or sion and j4 or sion and renekton. Basically anyone with easy stun+sion. Go to bush before lane starts, wait for enemy ADC to come to lane, sion's Q covers almost the entire width of the lane, not only does it stun for a long long time, it also chunks the adc, and your partner clears them with his 2nd stun + ignite. Works EVERY time!

Elite4RunnerJan 23, 20171 votes

Especially impressive when you consider that 4 of their team were ranged.

Your statement about towers is a little interesting considering the image shows that they actually had more towers than your team.

But not the right towers. ;)

AhristocatsJan 23, 20171 votes

if you to search more details we lost hard in early/mid game, ahem my mid/jungle lost hard as me and scott were camped by eve while and proced to go even 2v3 for 10 or 15 min

my kassadin went 2/14 at 30 min then never died again my jungler died like 8 times i don't remember

me and my support carried this game 3v7 imo, our fiora was the only good player

that's why we had less towers, but at the end when we came back in the game we didn't have troubles to siege because kassadin could oneshot anyone in their team and they couldn't approach, if they approached i could also hook them and we destroyed towers in 2 seconds with my sheen proc

Oh yeah, I wasn't trying to refute you at all. I just noticed that the tower count actually was in their favor.

My point was more to say that you closed out the game when you had the opportunity, which is good.

I see too many people run around fighting and other stupid shit when they could just close.

Cynical RainJan 23, 20171 votes

You wanna, uh, give me a few tips there, doc?

AhristocatsJan 23, 20171 votes

tips about what=?

Cynical RainJan 23, 20173 votes

Life, girls, ELO, the usual.

AhristocatsJan 23, 20171 votes

Life? well live lol what do you want me to say Girls=Hang out and if you meet someone just talk normally without doing anything special elo=don't flame and mute flamers, the only universal tip i can give you that will increase your win rate

SkiasJan 23, 20171 votes

It looks to me like Darius popped off and just did what he does. That happens regardless of comp if that champ gets fed. Unkillable tank with crazy damage, insane snowball factor.

LeonLyeJan 23, 20171 votes

If you keep playing Darius Bot, by the law of probability, you're bound to win at least one game.

AhristocatsJan 23, 20171 votes

what about winning 15 games out of 20

If you can keep winning 75% of all your games, then you deserve to be in challenger. But by the law of large numbers and Riot's elo system. Your win rate will always approach 50% in which, with even win and losses, settle on a elo in which you shall be stuck forever unless you play something else.
