Is there an ability in the game that you, personally, just can't dodge?

And no, I'm not trying to be funny by saying Karthus R, or some point and click ability. I mean an actual skill shot that, for some reason, despite having seen it in hundreds, if not thousands of games, you have real trouble dodging it.

For me, it's Lux Q.

I don't know what it is about it, but I've been grazed by this ability more times than I can count. Some times, I'll just derp out and not to try dodge it at all, and other times I'll be so focused on something that I won't notice I ever got hit by it until I notice that my champ isn't moving.

I could move around like fricken Faker in one game, dodging hooks and skillshots a plenty, and then act like I've never played this game before when a Lux is in the next game.

To make matters worse, her Q is normally her initiator for her full combo.........I've eaten enough lasers to compliment a dubstep concert several times over (especially after Lux got that buff to her ult so she can have it whenever and wherever). Oh yeah, I can dodge her ult just fine, it's just her god damned Q for some reason.

So......what abilities are there that you just can't seem to get out of the way of?

I am strange.. I can sometimes dodge like crazy, even when like a million things are attacking me like in ARAM. Others, Twisted Fate will throw his three cards out and I will be like, "OH CANDY!!!" and dive on one. -_-

Zilean's bomb is pretty rough tho for some silly reason but I think Lux's Q has some kind of weird magnetic field or something. It just hits you even when you swear you dodged it.

Literally whatever does just enough damage to kill me.

Velkoz Q, especially during the "T" part. I can never dodge it even though I see it coming from a mile away

blitz grab always..... I swear that hitbox is bigger than the animation itself.

yasuo tornado maybe it has something to do with the fact his hitbox has the size of AN AIRPLANE

Other than Lux Q, Vel'koz Q is also pretty hard to dodge, though he does get two chances to land it.

Xerath Q. The mind games are too much for me.

Bard's Q

That thing curves towards me and I'll be miles away from terrain, and it'll still stun me.

I have the inverse of this problem...

No matter how much I play Varus, landing that R on a moving target is basically impossible for me. It shouldn't be. There's no rationale behind it. But I miss it, like, 80% of the time, despite him being my 3rd highest mastery champion.

You see thresh Hook?

They all, ALL own my soul with that shit.

Thresh could missclick and launch it behind him that I would flash on him, I am not kidding, Tresh's mains and their mindgame on sidestepping just fuck me up. Now I just accept my fate.

Morgana's Bind, can't doge this ability at all, i'll be completely invisible to her and still find a way to run into it. Evelynn

gotta agree with lux q but i blame that 100% on its awful hit box, when the animation of a spell clearly misses you and even by a big gap its a problem, hell if they fixed her q hitbox i wouldnt doubt her winrate would drop noticeably

Arcade Lulu1/22/2019, 5:34:05 PM2 votes

I honestly just can't dodge Ezreal Q

Besteal1/22/2019, 7:05:42 PM2 votes

Probably Thresh Hook. That thing has the worst hitbox in all of league, and this was true even when Illaoi released and her Q had a 50% larger hitbox than the indicator.

ValyrianBlade1/22/2019, 7:47:34 PM2 votes

Just a word of advice to get zhonya's against lux if you can't Dodge her Q. You are only rooted, not stunned, so you can activate it to avoid the ult and e damage (and deny her partial reset).

Vel’koz Q, Twisted Fate cards and Xerath Q. I’ll walk into those 90% of the time even though I can clearly see where it’s going. “Oooh pretty”

As an Ahri main, if I ever play against her, in 9/10 cases I get charmed [sg-zephyr]

Lux [E], especially if she uses the Elementalist skin.

Xerath Ult... I don't know what it is or why I can't dodge it (probably because I'm bad lol) but I always get hit by these, even when I am free to dodge in any way I desire (as in no enemies forcing me to move a certain way).[sg-janna]

Anything that has a deceptive hitbox. I play mostly ADC, so my main priority is to get as many autos out, so move as little as possible when dodging to do that, which is just good in practice, anyway. Stuff like Lux Q, Neeko E, just really tough to dodge for me because I reflexively dodge to the exact point where it looks like I won't get hit anymore, and then BAM, smacked in the noggin with it, unless I actively remind myself to dodge more than I "have" to.

Also, Lee Sin Q since the range got extended, because I haven't seen him very much at all, so I haven't gotten used to it yet. If I'm near the end of the old range, my reflex is to try to outrun it since it would've worked before the range extend. Luckily, it's only 50 more than Ezreal Q range, and I main Ez, so as long as I remind myself of that, it's good.

Vel'Koz used to be kinda tough, then I found a random in Solo Queue supporting me as Vel'Koz and he was REALLY good, so I got used to seeing how a good Vel'Koz throws and baits movements to hit their skills and I have a really good read on him now. Also, good Vel support players will shoot Q's into a bush so you can't see the second part of the Q or where it's coming from, so even if they're not specifically trying to combo you from the bush, it's still a good idea to keep it warded.

Toxic players in Ranked. No matter where I go, no matter who I play, no matter what I do, they're always there, always making me miserable.

I find myself walking into Yasuo tornadoes too often.

Also Lux Q hitbox is mind-boggling. People complain about Fizz ult, but I'm pretty sure Lux Q has a bigger hitbox ;-;

I'm not memeing I'm being serious. I don't know why but whenever he uses it I just always seem to forget I'm supposed to walk AWAY from the ally he hits.

Hooks Nautilus, Blitz and Thresh always seem to wiggle their way around minions just to hit me even though I was sure I was safe. Pyke Q is probably the worst. Even though it feels like a better hitbox, I just can't seem to predict when and how he'll throw it exactly.. and as soon as I'm hooked it's pretty much gg.

Same, I don't know what it is about Lux's Q, but it's so hard to avoid. It's not even that quick or big for a projectile. Maybe it's the animation?

Point and Click Spells, Auto attacks, minions da winions and aturret shots I always try flashing out of them but I fail every time. :^)

Cassiopeia 's Q. It always seems like its radius of its actual hitbox is twice as big as the animation...
