and an account under "Kartharsus" doesnt show up on op.gg for some reason.

only one i could find was the nasus from the beginning of the video which is a silver 2 NA account. the morgana is sitting at silver 5. so if hes playing around that mmr i repeat my statement.

just because something is viable at the bottom level of play, doesnt mean it actually works in a serious competitive game.

well of course you're not gonna find his OP.GG info, a lot of those sites are screwed up ever since Riot changed their API policy

Here's some other sources for you.

https://dd.reddit.com/r/karthusmains/ (he's the admin)

btw, it's Talon's URFRIDERS, get it right if you're gonna try to use someone's stats to discredit someone ELSE's video :P

Edit: Managed to find his official OP.GG: http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=TnsTy+Spook

this is his video description by the way.

I don't play this in ranked, but if you know a good support it can actually work. I've got tons of experience playing bot-lane karthus and this is how quite a few of them turn out. Boosted animals don't know what to do when a wild mage appears in their lane.

not only are all those games played with and against low silver mmr players, but theyre all blind picks.

at least hes honest about it.

my point is, youre trying to contribute an argument to a discussion about the current bot lane meta, when its based on a couple non competitive games from a youtuber who doesnt even pretend that hes playing serious, and your own games on the bottom of the ranked ladder that is notorious for being a completely disorganized mess, in which you can make anything work.

  1. I never even stated that this was meant as an argument regarding ranked play. The meta happens in norms too.

  2. I'm Bronze 2 because I play almost exclusively normals as I see absolutely no reason to play ranked unless Riot does something that I actually find a good enough reason to play ranked. That being said I still peruse through both the boards and reddit, and watching other streamers who play Karthus so that I can learn all the strategies old and new. Just because I'm bronze 2 does NOT mean that I don't know what I'm doing. That mentality really needs to stop.

There is no separate meta for norms. There's just a lower standard for what kind of weird shit you can get away with doing.

if he got a lichbane then he could push decently well. i most time just play ap ezreal with gunblade bot whenver i have to adc and 1 shot the enemy after lvl 9 soon as they get to lane so they have no gold lol.
