Co-Op Vs Bots Snowballers

Aweshumness·1/20/2016, 6:53:09 AM·2 votes·536 views

Hi, I'm learning champs based on the Scrap Computer tutorials on Youtube. And he's so right! The champs he suggests are really strong. But what I'm confused about is how to get snowballing like the rest of the people in bots? Like, it's generally Ahri or Yasuo or Rengar assassinating the world. But it's not something I do. I try to understand my champs. And practice my CS and learn item builds and abilities. Can any of my champions snowball?

Currently I'm rolling with: ADC: TOP: MID: JUN: SUP:

In the meantime, if they can't snowball crazy hard, then I don't really care. In fact, I'm not one to dive or chase for a kill in the first place.

Any champ can snowball if you build the right damage on them, but with some its easier then others, those that combine damage with mobility and CC are the best at it. For example; you're gonna have a harder time snowballing Soraka then Akali. XD But its not impossible.

Its more about knowing how bots move and react, being able to lure the bots away from their tower into stupid positions gives you the best chance of killing them. And know how their behavior changes as the lose health and the threshold for when they start to recall. Another important thing to remember is the lane you go to depending on which side you play, go botlane if you are Red side and go Top lane when you are Blue side, due to the layout of the map those side/lane combinations gives you the easiest way of sneaking in a kill when the bots go for a recall, remember to use your trinket in their bush for vision and stay out of sight.

Your next most important asset if your partner, learn to chain CC with him/her and you'll be raking in the kill/assist gold over and over. Especially because the bots will be coming to your lane in greater numbers due to the tower pressure you'll be creating. Because its a bot game you don't have to care about meta or whatever and can take any combination of champs anywhere you want. So experiment with this. (I find that the combination of Lux and Lulu is an absolute murderfest on the botlane.)

And don't forget to roam when you expect the enemies on the other lanes to be in bad positions.

Another useful thing is to run the summoner spells Teleport and Flash or Exhaust. Teleport for getting across the map fast to get more kills, Flash to get in that last crucial hit before they escape, and Exhaust to easily win fights and make their escape harder while you kill them faster.

From your list I think Ezreal, Tristana, Lulu and Ashe have the easiest time snowballing.

I would also suggest you pick up Poppy, she is fun to play, cheap and super easy to snowball with, Max Q, get 1600 gold buy sheen, boots and armor on her and you will murder everything, just continue a bruiser build.

Good luck.

Cho'Gath jungle main in Co-Op vs. AI here! As you can see from the stats, you can definitely snowball with the big guy. Oftentimes, bots will push up their lanes if they can which leaves you in a good position to gank. And if your team is pushing the bots in under their towers, as Cho'Gath, you can tank several turret shots while getting the kill with your ult or auto attacks. I like to max E on Cho'Gath because it increases his autoattack damage and makes for faster clears and easy kills with red buff.

Tristana is also a hypercarry snowball champion. Get a few kills and you can easily burst down one of their squishies in a few seconds. You can use your W (jump) on them to slow them, drop an E, and autoattack to detonate. Tons of damage!

If you wan't to snowball like that you should try champions with assassin role. They are mobile and bursty, and their damage scales well. But from your champs probably ez and tris are hardest snowballers.
