How to beat targeted bullshit (Annie and Akali)?

Niyumi·Jun 7, 2016·4 votes·848 views

Title. Every fucking time I see one of those assholes, they either do nothing or carry absurdly hard and instantly delete people regardless of how tanky they are or how much health they have.

How can I counterplay targeted bullshit? And don't say to build MR, because Annie and Akali will still instantly kill you even if you stack MR (I went against Anivia with Kassadin, had 300 MR and she still deleted me. So please, don't pretend like it does anything.).

are you sure your stacking hard enough? just item 3155 and item 3111 probably wont be enough against item 3089 + item 3135 Wards (pink especially), and HARD CC seem to be the general consensus when it comes to dealing with point and click assassins.

Nautilis, my favourite, comes to mind for top and support roles, though riven and leona may be more viable i've heard syndra is awesome, and zyra or lissandra seems ok as well for mid zac and sejuani seem good for the jungle. for adc, anything with mobility. quinn maybe?

real quick thing i may have missed Runes- are you using flat MR or MR per level blues?

Your problem might be that you think Kassadin is a tank, and as such you are quite bad at the game.

Well, for the record, if Kassadin had 300 MR, combined with his passive, its pretty impressive that he is even CAPABLE of being deleted by magic damage. Im not saying to build 300 MR...EVER, but if these statements are true...that Anivia must have been hella fed.

Frankly, I think homeboy was probably lying. Sciela isn't the most trustworthy of individuals.

Ask Riot Rainslight or whatever their name is. Anivia main. I was 15/3, and Anivia could kill me through a Sterak's and Visage, so I built all the MR I could think of, and she still deleted me. I had upwards of 90% damage reduction for magic damage.

... play as a team?

Their range is pretty short and unless they're super fed they can't 100-0. Assuming you and your team are doing anything right, yall should be able to peel them off.

MR is percentage based how much hp did you have? MR without health is useless. Same with armor.

NiyumiJun 7, 20161 votes

~3400 health.

Akali - squishy, useless in teamfight, because she gets destroyed by the AOE. Any support with stun deals with her, if she tries to jump on the ADC. She is good only as ganker and for cleaning after teamfights in the midgame (1v1, 2v2, 3v3 in the jungle/around dragon etc). Annie - low range, predictable patterns. Stay away from her or die. Lux, Ori, Azir, Xerath etc can punish her. Anivia - good only vs melee champions with no mobility. If you get stunned, you deserve to die. She is slow, squishy and gets wrecked by silences and burst damage. Kassa should be able to burst her and interrupt her ult.

Amazingly stupid answer. Akali building full ap is nothin more than piece of sh.. Akali who build herself bruiser may kill ADC and shred somebody else before she die. Annie - flash + R W Q + ignite = no fun allowed. Ganks 100% succes rate every 300 seconds.

Anivia - slow piece of cake, good builded deals massive dmg, got wall who breaks most of teamfights and aoe stun/slow.

I also noticed it. The MR and Armor stopped to matter. Now the game is about instant burst + building so many pene in items as you can. Whats point of having 200 armor 3000 hp when Yi with blackcleaver dives you under turret and still is able to kill? Tanks are dead race of league. Now only matters champion with instant burst, and some tanky ability. E.G Jarvan Fourth with his W building full ad is able to survive more than Shaco stacking full armor/hp/mr. Riddiculus...
