Looking for a champion based solely around skill shots and aiming abilities.

Davethaboss·Feb 15, 2015·3 votes·1,229 views

So I dislike greatly just point and click champions so I play more skill shot champions. I am looking for a chmpiom that has a rewarding feeling when you land the skill shot like kog maws ultimate and a xerath q (even though later game feels like it does nothing) or even kennen q.

I looked at a few like syndra and galio and even Caitlin. Also Diana I thought of and ezreal too but I heard ezreal drops late game because his abilities do like no damage and you just have to AA which I HATE. However, I need a champ based on skill shots it be AoE or directional Idc. Challenging skill shots in this game make it really fun for me.

Thank you in advance guys.

I'm quite surprised nobody mentioned Ezreal . He has 3 skillshots and a blink.

Xerath is all skillshots and is awesome fun.

Vel'koz has some really interesting targeting mechanics.

Varus is probably the most interesting skillshot AD.

There is no ADC where you will not have to be AAing, pretty much all game if you can. I would suggest Urgot but that would be cruel and unusual.

I did play as him once and did very well but it will sound incredibly dumb but I HATE his skin. I despise it. It really makes me hate him but his abilities are really cool so I will look into him again.

Urgot is not an AD Carry.

I didn't say he was an AD carry....

Literally said there was no AD carry he would like, and then told him he might like Urgot.

Ezreal

If you actually read the entire thread, you would see he had thought about Ezreal but did not want to play him because he had to auto-attack later into the game.

Nice try though.

Hmph. Well in that case the guy is shit out of luck. Auto-attacking is what Marksmen do, it's part of their identity until some new innovative champion is released that changes it.

The reason I prefer LoL to smite and dota is the fact that many champions utilize skillshots however I still want the top-down feel which I love. I would be playing smite right now but because of the fact you can't see behind you really turns me off. What is my point? I wanted a champion which required skill. In aiming. Many champions mentioned here though I will definitely try out. I consider this a discovery.

Any of these:

Twitch has only like one and a toggleable ability Similar to Diana. Swaim has one which is a snare like veigar so he doesn't fit my boat, and alkali has only the the smoke screeen she puts down which isn't extremely hard to aim....

Ezreal drops in the severe late game only because he doesn't properly scale with Crits like most ADC's do. But Ezreal isn't really a standard ADC. He's more of a ranged caster, he can be built AD or AP, and he's 4/4 Skillshot abilities (Sort of.. E auto-targets but the blink itself is manually aimed)

I've been playing Ezreal since his release, if you want someone who is satisfying when you land your skillshots, he's your man. Sniping an enemy across the map with his ult is pure bliss.

Are ezreals normal ablities apart from his ult good in terms of their damage? Every player I see uses his e alot and just AAs most of the time late game and a q and w here and there.

KougaFeb 16, 20151 votes

His Q is his primary damage ability, so he should be using it the most. E is primarily for escaping, or only All-In if you are mopping up a fight. His Q has base damage + full AD + an AP ratio + on-hit effects, so its a great tool. Its long range as well, and combining it with either Trinity Force to give himself a MS boost or Iceborn Gauntlet to slow the target allows him to kite moderately well (although, that mobility creep is slowly ruining him).

Because Q can apply on hits (Sheen) but it can't crit, his pure AA game is weaker in the long run. He should be focusing on raw AD, Lifesteal, and On-hit effects instead of focusing on crit chance. He can still add AAs to his ability combos in a close fight but he is best served by hanging out at the back line or the edge of the fight, behind a tank or a wall, and sniping from a distance, using his E to get to safety if they engage on him.

Played right Ezreal is a great champion and I've gotten pentas with him, but he isn't the kind of hypercarry that Vayne is.

Orianna she's more about microing though, idk if you call them skillshot

Varus you still have to aa though, he is an adc afterall he has more skillshot than cait. if you like cait...

I main kog maw and corki as add because they are super fun when aiming their Ultis. My question is caitylin better than varus in terms of squishiness. Because I be noticed varus just doesn't scale well lat. Or mid gma enacted caitylin does. I've seeen other players too with the same diificulty and I don't get it....

i don't understand half of your post, but varus gives more late game utility than cait. % maximum health damage, AoE slow, mass immobilize. His steroid isn't that bad too.

I apologize for the retarded words. What I meant was whenever I used varus I felt he was extremely squishy entire game. His e is a poor escape tool on the other hand caitylins is a good escape tool. Varus in my opinion is the easiest champion to kill and gank whenever I used him. See the reason I mention corki and log maw is that I can wait and aim the proper ultimate shot and when it lands I feel extremely happy. Varus can not spam skills because of wanting to ignite blight his w. However I believe Caitlyn can and can do it with decent damage and can spam all game if she wants as varus can't because of the latter. What's your opinion? I do understand your post though. I think in one way or another he does provide more utility.

Nidalee

She has to land the spear. If she misses, she can't engage and basically sits there waiting for it to come back up. Of course the flipside is if she does land the spear she deletes people because it will chunk squishies for 60% of their health.

Build Ezreal or Varus AP.

I'm suprised noone mentioned Velkoz , with that Geometry of his, all of his abilities being skilshoots, rewarding you for hitting them in a row with his passive

I don't like vel koz because a smart opponent will hide in minions and I am a xerath main and I find him extremely easy to kill. His passive might be good I just don't like his q.

JustMyBassCannonFeb 17, 20151 votes

The only reason Xerath can beat Vel'koz in the lane is because Vel'koz is less mobile than Xerath. They're both easy targets with AoE/skill shot spells that, once mastered, are not difficult to combo for high burst. The difference is that Xerath has longer range while Vel'koz has a wider area of control.

Another suggestion would be Ahri.

WarlockLawFeb 17, 20151 votes

I always max w first when I play vel'koz and push the eave hard. Also w into e does a lot of burst damage

ZarxisFeb 17, 20151 votes

Karthus practically always uses his small-AOE skillshot Q in place of his autoattacks. Other than his W, his other abilities don't require aiming, meaning you can focus on your Qs... If you can keep up with your more-mobile opponents.

You know what? You may be right. I think either him or Cassiopeia would be a great buy. Thanks man! Considering ezreal and syndra are free I will give them a go too.

Thank you so much for the amazing contribution to this thread. Instead of listing a champ like many have done, you have suggested for me to uninstall! Please, next time read what I have wrote and others as well. Thank you and your current feedback is not appreciated.
