I feel like i need to point out the obvious, Skillshots

apparently i need to make a TLDR so here it is

TLDR: this a a GUIDE for people having trouble dodging skillshots, maybe i didn't name the thread correctly for that, and the title probably insults the people i made the guide for, but if IF you think the skillshots i list are OP.. then READ the ENTIRE guide.. i go over in detail the best ways of avoiding them further down in the post

What are 4 of the most powerful, game changing, and non ultimate skills most commonly called "OP" by bronze players? hook pull charm spear

so what do these skill have in common...

they are all not only "skillshots"

but single target skillshots, that stop at the FIRST target hit. REGARDLESS whether that target is a creep.. jungle mob, or champion

Do you want to know WHY these skills are so powerful?

because, these skills are the 4 hardest skill in the game to land.

getting hit by ANY one of these skills is USUALLY a death sentence.

i mean.. they even NAMED hooks "death sentence" you cant get any more obvious than that.

you get hit hook, if his adc is near.. your probably dead you get hit by pull, again.. if his adc is near.. your probably dead if lands her charm on you,, NEWS FLASH.. your probably dead and if spears you.. you better freaking hope your tanky or got a teammates near by, because if your alone and you don't got much HP, PROJECTILE KITTEN HEADING YOUR WAY!!! And this kitty wont be leaving hungry...

so.. how do we deal with these skills?

first off.. WE become AWARE that getting hit by these skills generally = you done goofed, aka YOUR DEAD

once you are aware of that these skills are DESIGNED to make you DIE you should assert MORE focus in avoiding them.

so HOW can they be avoided.

well there is the obvious "get out of way when you see it" but frankly other than for a near max range spear.. u don't really have much time to react and get out.

the EASIEST and MOST EFFECTIVE ways to not get hit by these are to TAKE COVER!!! aka "stand behind somthing" aka an allied minion..idk maybe your TANK, maybe even a jungle mob if your running through the jungle.. put something between yourself and the champ with the skillshot and if they move.. play a game of "around the table", move with them. Keep that object, whatever it is.. between you and that skillshot, because even if they throw it, it won't hit you if got something blocking you.

another good way to not get hit is to just stay out of range... play against those champs.. LEARN how far you need to stand away form them.. but at the same time keep in mind.. that both and have large speed boosts and they can catch up fast, and can pounce every 4-6 second depending on cooldown and can close the gap even over small walls.

KEEP AN EYE ON THEIR MANA, all of these champs use mana..and these skills generally cost a lot of that pool. especially at lower levels. if they dont have the mana to cost it.. your safe for now, but be careful all the same if they gain a level or have a large amount of regen that could change.

and finally we go to the most "obvious" but the hardest to execute.. and Franky that is... if your caught out in the open your going to need to DODGE the skillshot.

now as a AND i almost feel bad when i see people who cant dodge these, partially on as she gives you the most time to dodge.. but i FREQUENTLY see people.. supports.. ADC in bot lane standing in FRONT of creep.. while pushing my tower.. and i although i feel bad about it... i really feel the need to get close to them, and for them to get close to my tower... because i really want to knock them up... with my E obviously... what on earth were you thinking...

point is.. if your out in the open.. and if see one of these champs running toward you or MORE obviously, CHASING you... you can pretty much guarantee they are going to throw thier skillshot at you w/e it may be.

so there are several ways to dodge.. obviously if you have a movement ability.. you can dodge easier. but watching for and EXPECTING that skillshot to come at you goes a long way towards dodging it.

you can sidestep the the left or right or even backwards if you think it will bring you out of range.

but as soon as you start to see a cast animation.. you got to move, and depending on how close you are, its VERY possible to make it out

couple things to watch out for though.

when running.. avoid walking parallel to a wall with one side of you is toward the wall you only got one direction to move and unless you got a dash... most of these skillshot are wide enough to still hit you by them leading their shot slightly away from the wall the only direction you can really move to dodge it.

if they MISS the skillshot... unless they got backup.. turn around and punish them for it.. they just blew their most important spell and missed, punish them for it while its on cooldown.

and lastly, and i cant stress this enough. the BEST way to avoid these skillshots is by standing behind minions. you need to be able to do this WHILE you are playing normally.. you need to be able to CS without goign in front of minions, you need to be able to poke THEM without getting in front of minions.. unless you are extremely confident in your ability to dodge these skillshots.. keep somthing between you.. AND keep an eye on that things HP.. because if its a minion its one hit away from dying a good player can time the skillshot and trhow it out while the minion is still alive and rely on his teammate to last hit it before his own shillshot passes that point.

i hope i taught all your forumers a valuable lesson in facing these skilshots. Take care and good night
