Let's talk about split pushers

This isn't a QQ thread, not some "Mah gawd nerf Tryndamere he just split pushed all game" thread, just a nice talk about split pushing.

Riot has stated that they wanted diversity in strategies, hence the constant jungle changes this season, making the majority of "jungle" champions equally viable, as well as reamping some unconventional champions (I.E., Trailblazer making things like TF and Karthus jungle more viable). One of the more interesting strategies we've seen is splitpushing.

The concept is pretty simple. I'll go push alone, you guys 4v5 and let me take out this side lane. What's more interesting is the champions. I feel it's gone unnoticed how many strategies there are to split pushing. And let's talk about that.

We got the classic . This guy's passive + auto reset and sheen procs makes him a tower shredder. The biggest threat Jax poses is the fact that he is arguably the best duelist in the game, so you simply cannot send one person to stop him.

Then we have another popular split pusher . Similar to Jax he is a dueling god. You can't just tell one person to go stop, because the will get dove and die. Also the fact that he can just say "fuck it" and 1v1 your tower is hilarious.

A relatively popular split pusher, . All game this guy is slowly building up that Q. Then come late game your towers get 3 shot and he has 4k HP. Have fun fighting him alone, hope you can kite.

Zed can split push fairly easily due to his high damage and his high chance of escape with shadows. Send one, they get dove with his ult, send more he just kinda leaves with shadows and you waste time.

And a couple of more interesting champions for split pushing.

. More specifically, AP Xin Zhao. Nothing quite as funny as 1v1ing your inhib tower and losing no hp at all. Just need some time because you're not exactly gonna shred through that.

has mediocre pushing power and average dueling. His biggest threat as a split pusher is the fact that as soon as someone comes to stop him he teleports in and his team gets to fight 5v4 while whoever went to stop him is sitting in a side lane.

Split pushing is such an underrated strategy in this game. So many champions will just destroy your base single handed while their team stalls 4v5. Of course though, they run the risk of their team losing that 4v5. Who's your guys' favorite split pushers?
