tricks you can do with a champ that you might not know about

SwiftKitten88··42 votes·16,466 views

lets start off with some more obvious ones to people who have played a while should know that newer players still might not know

Nidalee her passive "hunted" gives true sight. this is very useful on champs who go invisible like Shaco Akali Leblanc MonkeyKing (if u hit the real one first) Anivia can summoner 12 away as eggnivia if you start the channel before u die and are transformed

now for the lesser known ones

Warwick R which rely on champion to champsion hitbox collision can hit a MasterYi in alpha. (i am fairly confident Gragas can to with bodyslam but i havent tested it)

Syndra can throw tibber away from Annie and if it would lands out of range it will instantly teleports back to Annie and counts as landing on her. and can kill her this same trick can be used against a Shaco clone or tibbers with Tristana if you prep a bomb and then ulti the unit away until it teleports back if you time the ulti and bomb explosion correctly . (unfortunately u cant pick up shako's clone so u cant do that trick with syndra like you can with tibbers)

Galio ulti can't be interpreted by any for of CC and will land cced upon arrival. EXCEPT form suppression, which CAN stop him mid ulti.

i think thats enough to start with

Thresh can pull you to his position if you click on his lantern. Seriously, the guy's been out for more than 5 years and people still flash when you throw them the damn thing.

Exactly. I've seen enough horror movies to know where this is going. Don't read the book that was bound in human flesh. Don't try to solve the puzzle box o'eldritch horrors. And don't grab the "lantern" that some flaming-skull-head-dude tosses towards you.

Fiddlesticks can fear a MasterYi with active R. Although being immune to slows, he's not immune to fears. As a result, fearing Yi will make him turn around and run away at max speed.

I called someone was going to play Master Yi yesterday when they banned Fiddlesticks. It's a hilarious interaction, I hope it never changes.

A lot of spells give vision and are great tools for checking bushes from a long distance examples include Lux E Soraka Q Karthus Q (and W) Thresh W Caitlyn and Nidalee traps Yasuo W (this one isn't so good for checking bushes, but it does give vision allowing one to hug a wall and use it to gain vision on a jungle camp you can E to for escape purposes) Zyra W Trundle E Olaf Q

and many more (but here are some that are actually good for checking bushes.

Honorable mention to DrMundo who can't gain vision of an area but can still throw cleavers into bushes and listen to the "splat" sound if it connects with an enemy that is hiding in it.

Was removed for some reason. No idea why.

They felt to many abilities gave vision for no reason.

There was an entire patch about it.

Doozku4 votes

I remember that. They gutted Ivern's W range for the purpose of "it gives vision!" and then completely forgot about changing the rest of the champions.

kingskytire1 votes

The Karthus W one is especially fun in ARAM as no one seems to know about the vision, then you hit them solo with Qs

It's great fun.

Kayn can ult Illaoi E and TahmKench can eat the spirit and launch it as a minion, together with Kayn.

MasterYi will return to cast position if the target dies. You can fake an opponent's engage by using this trick.

Camouflage champions (Evelynn) can hide behind towers and remain invisible even if enemies go nearby.

Warwick can cleanse Zoe E by Q-ing.

Shen Q has a short split-second 'safety' movement range where even if you dash at somebody and your taunt falls short of hitting them, if you're pulling your Q at the same time you get the empowered effect. Braum Auto attacking after the passive has worn off actually does bonus magic damage each auto. Irelia You can set your first E cast somewhere, dash to a minion or enemy champion, then throw your other E cast in the new range. This is useful for chasing opponents. Nocturne You can cast Q and pre-cast E while still dashing during his ultimate. This way you can completely negate the cast time of Q if you cast it right before hitting your target, or you can even drive-by a weak enemy champion on your way to another. Illaoi Q and E casts cannot be interrupted. She can buffer them through CC. Her ultimate can do something similar, but the nature of it means that she can be CC'd and it will apply after. Fiora You can riposte while dashing. Jhin has a long auto attack animation, but the nature of his auto attack means you can cut off almost half the auto animation. As soon as the shot is fired, make a movement command. This saves a lot of time. Other ADCs can do this, but the extent to which Jhin can do it is amazing. Malzahar You can cast W while casting E. This saves a lot of time and lets you set up your ultimate kill combo faster. Talon E jump has a similar trajectory and placement of placing a ward over a wall. Keep that in mind. Trundle E can be used to trap enemies into a wall, trapping their hitbox and essentially turning them into a free meal if they do not have any mobility handy. Anivia auto attack animation is very similar, almost identical as her Q and E animation. Use it to catch your opponent off guard. Jax ultimate passive stacks can be generated on minions. You can do this to charge up your empowered auto, jump on your enemy laner, and W. This will deal heavy harass damage and you can follow up with E if your opponent commits to the fight or is a sitting duck.

Eh, that's all I got.

Annie tip here.

you can proc Annies stun early by throwing Q when you have three stacks and then activating her E (molten shield) while the Q is in mid travel. the molten shield will grant Annie the final stack before the Q hits. this is great for catching targets off guard and setting up a gank for your jungler.

another tip. Tibbers can block skill shots for you including Caitlyn ult.

Holy shit, I stopped playing annie because people always just stayed away when I got stun charges up, now I might have to try her again!

Hong Kong Annie4 votes

Try her with predator and roam, makes her ganks and engage terrifying

Zed genius5 votes

Regarding clone champions, if you ping them just when they are bout to get their clone off the ping will remain on the right one.

Also I'm pretty sure I have seen galio ult interrupted by any hard cc, which is not supposed to happen so maybe it's a bug?

  • You can create a Magiacl Journey (e) from fountain to the inhib tower when respawning, to save time for you and your adc walking back to lane. You can also do this at the little edge just next to the inhib tower, if you forget to do it from fountain. Furthermore..... u can create portals on some flat walls, such as the edge of the map at the blue side bot lane, also useful for getting back to lane faster,

  • You can set up a trail of w's for your jungler when ganking so they get a free speed boost running into the lane.

  • You and your allies travel 25% faster in your portals, create long portals whilst escaping for a free get-away!

  • If you Ult a low health ally in the middle of a fight just as they activate Zhonyas, their statis protects them from yours, and when their own statis ends they can run away whilst the enemies surrounding them are still stuck.

  • Q hitbox is a rectangle, not rounded, which makes it easier to land stuns if u consider the furthest points of the rectangle.

  • W gives a short window of vision, which can be crucial for your jungler to steal drake/baron if the enemy has a control ward in pit.

  • Meep-empowered auto attacks apply effects such as item 3151 burn AOE.

  • When running away, create a portal next to a bush, walk into the bush and watch your predators fly away on a magical journey whilst u BM.

  • Finally, any item is viable on Bard, seriously... Prove me wrong, I'll wait item 3078 item 3748 item 3065 Bard

Kennen Kennen excels at sweeping an area for stealthed targets. Use his E to cover the area you think they might be hiding (or ult if you feel like it) and wait to hear the sound of your ability connecting. Press W and watch where the lightning bolt connects Fire your Q in the direction of your W to complete the stun

Terozu4 votes

Katarina can see nearby stealthed targets via her ult lighting up to be used.

Also and this applies to any simular abilities, blinking under turret when poppy dashes at you will pull he under turret for instant aggro.

Camille casting w midflight properly can slow a target, allowing you to stun them when theyd be just out of range.

Garen Q lets you cancle Darius' apprehend and dodge his spin.

Rakan ult before you dash in, the charm makes it a garented hit.

Sona auto before you Q, then auto again since it resets yoir auto.

Teemo throwing another shroom before your ult bounces on another shroom will change the bounces direction.

Velkoz Lulu and others can change the direction theyre facing through emotes.

Gnar Gnar works well as a kiting junglr via hypers ms boost and Q's slow.

Xayah is actually a good jungle who can clear raptors and wolves easily and succesfully kite buffs via snares.

Passive: After level 6 anytime someone is close to you, you get an exclamation mark on your head, this includes if the enemy champion is Invisible or inside of a Bush.

If an enemy doesn't ward a bush, you will not get revealed even if they are standing right next to you, but are not in the bush with you.

This is extremely useful for finding those Pesky Teemo's or other invisible champions, especially Kha'Zix during a Counter Gank or when your in the jungle, it can save your life.

Q: Works similarly to Ahri E, you can Flash after you Q to extend the range(easiest way to get a kill pre-6)

R: Your R's range is exactly the same as your Camo range, it actually extends just a tad bit past your Camo range(about 50 units at the center of the cresent) meaning that if someone is just on the edge of revealing you, and they are low, you can ult and kill them without them even knowing your there.

Jerry SeinfeId3 votes

that's not a WW/Graggy trick that's a yi bug.

other than that.

You can dodge karthus ult as shaco, and from what i've heard it should be possible to ult and go invis at the same time.

Leona can clear a ward right after it's placed wit AA Q AA

Singed can AA during fling: Sky Auto Attack

If the enemy team is sieging and they have red trinket or elixer (aram) you can just throw your teemo shrooms on the minions next to them, most teams i play against don't figure this out until the 5th one or something.

The only thing (apart from Camille's ult) that can cancel Sion's ult is Yi with his alpha. But you can take him under your turret that way if timed good.

Terozu18 votes

Camille cant cancel sion ult.

It just causes him to bounce back and forth for the duration.

It's hilarious.

Dysnomia2 votes

Well that is pretty much cancelling i meant.

Electro5228 votes

Not for the Camille. Try to avoid getting hit by the super ping pong ball in that tiny area.

The Goodest Boy1 votes

technically, warwick can cancel it by attaching to an ulting Sion with his Q (what happens is Warwick slides along side Sion as he ults for about 3 seconds and then finally whips around in front of him and stops him. It's great fun to watch.)

Dysnomia3 votes

I tried playing ww, his wtfwhereami moment with leap skills is fun to watch indeed :)

Anyone with temporary terrain can stop Sion's ult.

Few things are as tilting as getting pinballed in the opposite direction by a Trundle pillar, but I have seen it in my own games on at least 5 occasions.

Dysnomia1 votes

You are right. Azir and Anivia can stop it too but i was thinking more of top laners. I didn't have that experience with Trundle tho.

CapnMorganFr3man2 votes

Urgot can summoner 4 while using his e to boost the range similar to Gragass old combo

My Waifu Vanilla2 votes

You have to flash during the wind up to my knowledge though unless that has been changed. A bigger one for Urgot is after you buy Mercury Treads you can R someone and while they are being grinded up you have a brief amount of time to flash and push the fear into the middle of the enemy team. Only works with tenacity though.

Kayn's jungle clear has an... interesting mechanic on his Q. Simply enough, the optimal case of using it is to Q face-plant into a wall at point blank. This lets you get your Q instantly to finish, letting you resume autoing earlier. This adds up to a few extra seconds shaved off of your jungle clear, and a healthier clear from the faster kills to boot.

Kayn can extend his E distance with Q. This enables several wall-chains that you can't do normally early game, such as going from Raptors through lane into turret into the next wall, or vice-versa. This can also be used to get that final split second of distance before E runs out to push you onto the other side of a wall.

Kayn can freely cast Q and W in E, and it won't kick him out of his E, but an auto attack instantly ends the buff, potentially kicking him out of the wall. You can use this to fish for slows/knockups, and if you miss, just retreat back into the wall, or get the smallest bit more distance before casting Q back into the wall for the instant double-hit Q talked about above.

Kayn's R can be used to avoid multiple targeted skills even after they have been cast, or to follow flashes if timed right. Nothing like the tilt of a Tristana who R'd you away and then jumped only to realize that your blue smite-R let you jump inside her anyway. Or the sweet 300 gold you got for it.

Finally, Kayn's E gives you a vision through ALL walls within vision range, regardless of if you are even in that wall. You can run into red buff wall and see if the enemy jungle is doing Krugs, for instance, or be in red buff wall and see if they are doing Baron.

Thresh Look up those 'that hook didn't hit!!!' 'I was standing behind minions!' threads, learn, profit. Learn to curve hooks and play hitboxes. And terrain-block with his lantern.

Leona Zenith blade should be considered an escape tool. If you see a jungler ganking from far-back in your lane, make yourself vulnerable to draw attention from your ADC, then use the enemy jungler as an escape route.

Fiora Q Fiora can hit invisible enemies even if u dont have vision of them

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I am concerned this is true for any AoE spell, not just for Fiora's Q.

Quinn's E can be used to hop over small walls, as long as the wall is right behind you, this also works on jungle monsters such as gromp, you can also use your w to get vision of them and e over the wall for cheesy escapes. It also can cancel dash animations, including Aatrox Azir Ekko Tristana and many more.

yea, it's a displacement, so things that can be interrupted by knockups/pulls/etc (like dashes) are also interrupted by Quinn E :P (i'm pretty sure Yasuo can also ult off it, but i'm not sure)
