Yay, Kled's going to be a Skirmisher!

Time to watch people be just as salty about him as they are about the others like Yasuo, Riven, Fiora, and the rest. [slayer-jinx-wink]

@Riot: Thank you for making another Skirmisher--no truly thank you; with the main exception of Jhin, the group holds some of my favorite champions and favorite play styles in the game. I love remaining mobile while having the power to shred through anyone and being deceptively durable. A lot of the Skirmishers just have... artistic play styles in the way that their kit just seems so fluid. So far Kled looks no different. I have high hopes and expectations~

Edit: Oh for all of those that are curious, the Skirmishers include "cancer" champs that follow:

And the hybrids are:

Skirmishers' kits are the funnest to watch be played to their maximum (except Riven to me who just face rolls onto someone) in my opinion since they have that rich balance in mobility, damage, and defensive cool downs. Plus a little bit of CC here and there.

Yeah, they're all so flavorful and complex, even the hybrids ones like Gangplank and Jayce. The only two exceptions for me are Yi who's a beginner's champion and Tryndamere who needs a rework badly. Also, ALL of them have received so much hate and that makes it so much funnier for me. All of them have tons of outplay potential while messing up will be punished hard.

She actually require some skill to pull off correctly. She's not completely faceroll. You got to know her combos and you need an early kill to do good at all. Flora's the same way. Not so brain-dead as everyone says. There's somthing we call people who think she's brain-dead. We call them...bronze.

I'm Diamond IV and I think Fiora is brain-dead.

d4rkshockJul 26, 20161 votes

Yep I verified you are diamond. Anyways there are things that separate good fioras from great fioras like using w to negate damage and reflect cc into a stun back at them.(yes I'm b 4 trash and suck at the game. I get demoted Everytime I get promoted then climb back up but I'm changing some practices. I got rid of the I shouldn't be bronze ego a long time ago. In fact, almost immediately. I will focus moar on cs but use the ability to get that early kill on some champions that can do it. That kind of shit that holds people back) You need to get a lead in the form of a kill/assist. That's so.thing lower level players struggle with. After that in bronze if you can do that, splitpush and focus farm and you will supercharge your lead. Lets say you are super fed to Dr of kills and have 70-100% cs. In low elo, 1v5 is hard to do. I only pulled off a 1v4 once as trynd. Saw someone low on hp and it turned into a 1v4 but since I had so many levels from splitpushing, I won and didn't use the ult but that strategy of 4v5 lost me the game because my team was bad because alot of the time it was 4v4. Other decisions were bad so I ended up dying a few times after. XD Just an example. Every other attempt where I was super fed failed on other championsand other games with trynd. One time as trynd I was in that situation mentioned for fiora and had 0 deaths and tried to 1v5 and died. Bronze players don't generally try to focus cs and just play with aggression. So if you don't get fed, you won't be doing so well. Not saying if you can't 1v5 your bad but if you fall behind, you will fail although you can still go bruiser and still deal lots of true damage. How will be held back by that. You are feast or famine as fiora.

Meh, people think all the other Skirmishers are brain-dead and are wrong (minus Master Yi and Tryndamere, they're pretty easy). Doesn't stop the fact that most of them are fun and fluid and full of outplay potential. Fiora is no different in my opinion, as she has to dance and weave through and around her opponents in order to maximize her damage.

Which is exactly why I'm ready to see all the salt coming from the boards once Kled's released. Skirmishers are meant to be killers of everything in their path, and being dead isn't fun for the enemy obviously. [slayer-jinx-catface]

Also, I've faced Jayces that were obviously better than me. Accel-gate + Q shot = god fucking damn it annoying poke.

Looks like another wukong/panth. He can be played top, mid, jg, and even support due to the grab. The reason for mid is the same as panth and wukong. He hits just as hard it looks like. He's a tank with %max enemy hp damage. He can be played top and jg the same way or go full tank.

Yeah, I immediately imagined that he was built for the jungle in mind, but would also be viable in the other roles besides ADC (since you know, ADCs by meta's rule have to be ranged). Support especially sounds pretty good with the grab, the potential tankyness if built for it and his ultimate. Imagine Kled ult + Sivir ult. Maybe add a Karma mid ulti E. Hella chase.

I wouldnt really consider Jayce hybrid

I mean, Riot does, and I kinda see their logic. He has his speed ups if he needs to escape or go in, a small leap in, and he gets bonus MR and ARM whenever he switches to hammer mode. According to the tentative list, he's an Artillery mage - Skirmisher hybrid.

Lol, I think he's classified under Diving fighters (think: Xin Zhao, Vi, Renekton). They have the mobility to jump into a fight, but not to leave a fight, and thus have the tankiness to be in the middle on a fight. Also they're called Divers due to the fact that their job is usually diving the backline and calling attention to themselves due to the fact that they can kill their target if left alone.
