Ahri q her to death while her user is obsessing over his waifu Akali this is a 300 gold minion, not a champion, and if you treat it like that youll be fine Annie see akali, but be sure to dodge tibbers during the cast time Azir you beat him in the lore so you beat him by default Brand don't use a skin so your water balloon ult is super effective Cassiopeia talk about how great stashu is in allchat Chogath dodge his r Corki this is an adc not a midlaner, so get his team to report him Diana spam PRAISE THE SUN in allchat, this will make her go on tilt Ekko call the cops Ezreal make fun of him for not reading patch notes Fiddlesticks like corki, but a jungler Fizz ban or dodge in champ select this champ is bs Galio build full ad and laugh when he ults you Jayce like you, but spends twice the amount of magics to create a lesser q Heimerdinger his turrets have crap range, you do not, so you win Karthus his whole gameplan is to die anyway, go right along with it Kassadin spam q, and if he beats you tell a rioter so he can get nerfed again Katarina if she starts spinning press e, after a few times she'll leave the game Kayle see kassadin Kennen this is actually a purple caster minion, which they forgot to delete from the game apparently Khazix another q-spam victim KogMaw another adc, treat him like the rest Leblanc kinda like fizz, except you occasionally get free dodges when you ban her from salty "mains" Lissandra pick the molten earth skin, all of your attacks are now super effective and get STAB Lulu like the purple caster minion, but more annoying for the rest of your team (not for you dont worry) Lux basically you, but unlike you she doesn't have q so destroy her Malzahar you cant get cured of space aids, but luckily he cant be cured of xerath q either Mordekaiser spam w to make him mad because he doesnt have one Morgana this is a support, have her team report her when she fails the normal support job of having 20 wards on the map at all times Nidalee basically you, but her q gets blocked by minions so lol Orianna another q victim, treat her like the rest Riven no Rumble mute your sound, he relies on you ragequitting from his stupid quotes (if hes not using that skin hes useless anyway) Ryze theres a reason this guy goes top Sion autowin, unless he's bronze 2 then youre screwed Sona a support, so treat her like morg Swain free farm lane, with the added minigame of "dont step on the circle" Syndra another q victim, treat her like the rest Talon another minion, although i hear you get to farm him more often if you buy zhonyas Teemo for your second summoner spell pick smite TwistedFate another q victim, treat him like the rest Urgot make sure the player isnt named "keane", and if they aren't just ignore this guy Varus like you, but his q isnt as freelo Veigar when this thing is picked you get 7-8 minions per wave instead of 6-7, sweet Velkoz turn on safesearch, then post complex math problems in allchat to keep him busy Viktor you have the bigger laser so you win by default Vladimir every time he uses transfuse he absorbs lightning, so he basically kills himself for you Xerath literally just you, but unlike you he cant properly channel the freelo Yasuo the guy version of ahri, so like ahri just spam q Zed if hes good get zhonyas and lol, but luckily pretty much all zeds are garbage Ziggs just give him his adhd medicine Zyra like liss you can pick molton earth for more damage, also shes a plant so she doesnt have a brain Bard completely broken, only way to beat him is to dodge the yellow midget things

But have you seen the secret mid lane assassin Quinn ?

Zenthon Prime46 votes

i didnt think anyone was dumb enough to run a flying type into an electric type on purpose

also you can make quinn ult useless if you dont have a skin and use ult because the bird cant fly if its soaking wet

Saixos6 votes

Ah but if she uses the corsair Quinn skin then her bird will be immune to the water damage!

Mixter Yi8 votes

but then she takes 4x damage (+STAB) from electric

What about Malphite?

Ground > Electric

ult is 4x effective against rock/ground

But Xerath levitates so ground moves are rendered ineffective against him!

my guide to playing xerath: stay back and poke. literally all this guy does. There is no such thing as counterplaying on him, you do the same shit every game.

Chaotic Reks3 votes

immobile, high mana costs, has to get within range to regain mana, all skillshots are highly telegraphed and have some sort of delay.

PoopLoopist1 votes

Yep its so hard to either zone your opponent from getting cs or get free damage on them. either way they have already lost lane. xerath takes about as much skill as poppy does.

Zenthon Prime3 votes

poppy

You may want to reconsider your comparision. She's broken as hell, but there's a reason you don't see her played.

League of Potato3 votes

Well he is a skill shot oriented champ, so maybe you just suck at dodging skill shots. It's actually really easy to dodge any of his skill shots except maybe his W if he places it right on top of you.

Zenthon Prime1 votes

W's actually his hardest one to hit IMO. You can only get the center hit (aka the only part that matters because the outside's damage is crap) in lane if it's a melee champ and they misplay.

League of Potato1 votes

I never said it was easy to land, but if he does center it on top of you, it's nearly impossible to dodge unless you have some type of dash away.

Diananmen Square6 votes

Good luck reaching Xerath in a teamfight.

He's gonna be 10 miles away from you firing Q's.

RangoTangoGanko1 votes

this is a joke man dont take it serious like doge cho ult?

Lotus Blade1 votes

I didn't take it serious but zenthon says xerath is yasuo a hardest counter which is a joke lmao

RangoTangoGanko1 votes

i belive it cause zerath range is annoying rip lel

Lotus Blade3 votes

Don't think its gonna be easy landing skill shots with YASUO dashing around

Jezbo1 votes
  • Flow shield

And if you do manage to land something, it's all healed up again. Yasuo is so aids when you're playing skill shot champions. Full. Blow. AIDS

Feels like a copy of

but they were both posted a day ago, so fuck it

10/10 guide, will get you out of silver 1 and into silver 1

Zenthon Prime2 votes

It was inspired by that post, back when it was fairly new. I only took the Morde joke (which is legit advice btw), the rest is original.

Totalis1 votes

I like how every champ got a tip on how to beat them but fizz just got a "bs champ dodge or ban"
