2-1-2 Graves literally just 100 to 0'd my Velkoz in 3 seconds under a turret at level 9

Why does this patch have absolutely nothing to bring damage down to a reasonable level?

Squishy mage that built no armor gets blown apart by burst caster, in other news, sky continues to be blue and grass mostly green.

Yes, I could have built an inefficient item that lets me survive the jungle diving me from 100% for 4 seconds instead of 3 seconds, and gives me absolutely no benefit against my lane opponent.

Good post, 10/10. That extra second would definitely be a game changer.

Not what I said, but you are a squishy mage, when he was an ahead burst caster of a champion, he is going to do a lot of damage to you really fast, because he is a burst caster.

And to think if you'd gone stopwatch and bought a zhonyas you'd have been fine.

Good thing strategy doesn't matter at all.

Zhonya's is obviously an terrible item that mages NEVER build right?

i concur. zhonyas is never a bad first item on mages... even if the armor doesn't directly help vs the lane opponent, the active can help immensely in many situations. another thing, this guy sounds like he got rolled by graves q bounce against his tower.. which could have been avoided if he was just aware of it. Also wouldn't be surprised if he just let the dude walk up to him and get within melee range to take a full shell. One full shell + q bounce and ult should instakill most anyone.

Spoiler: He auto'd me to death with Challenging Smite and missed all of his abilities.

'Haha, yeah, this Diamond player totally has no awareness of Graves' kit' Think before you post

so then i'm guessing you missed all your abilities as well? idk what to tell you. you're vel'koz. you do a hell of a lot of burst dmg too. why didn't you kill him instead?

> Missed all of your abilities

You mean he dashed out of my E and the second hit of W, so he only got hit by Q and first half of W, doing very little damage? It's almost like he has some sort of dash in his kit that he can use to avoid skill shots.

Vel'koz does a lot of damage if his entire kit lands. It's impossible to land his E and second W against anyone with a short cooldown dash, unless they're Wood V tier.

Also, look up what Challenging Smite does.

true. no ultimate? on cooldown or something?

JarringJun 13, 20181 votes

i know what challenging smite does lol don't assume i'm some fucking noob because of this stupid account either. I'm old af, and have been playing mobas before LoL even started beta-testing. fucking cocky bullshit is so fucking annoying, but i might as well be used to it. just kind of aggravating to see it outside of the game as well.

your problem is generic, that's all there is to it. Nobody is going to help you with it. things do dmg in this game and kill you. my god, please help me.
