Look at my last match, tell me what I could have done differently or better. I'm desperate to know what to do vs Maokai. I even won lane and got his turret early, but he just became unkillable and kept pushing my towers in so I couldn't go anywhere else to help.
Tychusfindlay9181 votesyou never kill him until maybe teamfight phase or if you goon squad his ass.
HalcyonDweller1 votesThat's the thing though, I did almost kill him in lane multiple times.
And he never joined teamfights, his team could just 4v5 us all the time so he just never came to fights and just split pushed. I would have held him down and kept him from farming but I literally was forced to help defend objectives across the map.
Shahamut1 votesya see, there is the problem: Maokai didnt have to team fight... like what the heck?
Maokai isn't (supposed to be?) a good split pusher, if his team is beating yall that bad, its pretty simple: He didn't actually matter.
Of course, as a Top lane main, Im moving to mid because Im tired of the "top lane meta = get carried" since its thats pretty much how it feels. Not to mention all the champs I played (mostly Renekton) are in terrible spots right now with rune changes etc.
Either way, dont sweat it, his team won that game for him. Maokai is also one of the best top laners right now, I either suggest playing him or banning him.
HalcyonDweller1 votesYeah, I mean it did feel like he didn't do anything valuable all game. He just sat in top lane and was a body that had to be reacted to.
The scumbag had the audacity to talk shit too, /ALL "I'm bored, do something... I'd kill myself if I played as badly as you..." etc.
Shahamut1 voteshad a "support Nasus" like this in a game recently: His team carried him super hard, he died like 18 times, and was talking trash the ENTIRE time...
HalcyonDweller1 votesDamn dude, I'm sorry that happened.
Subdue1 votesSometimes it's not a situation of what could -you- have done better, but rather, what could -your team- have done better. If you were the one designated to contest his split push, and you were able to do that, there's not much more that can be asked of you.
HalcyonDweller1 votesThere has to be something I can do though, like some kind of rotation, better split-push, etc. Yorick is supposed to be the king of split push, I don't understand how a sustain tank was capable of doing better at it than me.
There must be something I did wrong or something I could have done differently.
