Poor Poor Master Yi

Maybe we should give him a seventh item to help even out the odds. Maybe a GA.

This happened to me today...

Soraka :item 3141 item 3006 item 3072 item 3031 item 3087 item 3031 (yes she had two IE's)

--VS--
Brand :item 3151 item 3165 item 3116 item 3020 item 1052 item 1058

Im sure you have guessed by now that Soraka won that lane hardcore... she was 16/5/19 and had a full Sword of the Occult all game...

IcyPepper11 votes

Surprised she didn't have BORK.

AD Soraka with lifesteal is basically a health station for a jungler that stops by.

ive beaten zed ltos of times with veigar...

darkdill8 votes

Those Zeds must've sucked, then.

Against a competent Zed, Veigar has no options outside of calling for ganks.

Eedat6 votes

Joke? As soon as Zed ults you you throw your cage on yourself. Stand on a wall and he gets insta-stunned.

darkdill17 votes

The idea is that Zed can poke you non-stop while you're trying to farm up AP with your Q. He doesn't need to ult you if he can just force you to recall too much.

Akali is SO HOT19 votes

maybe you shouldn't be getting hit by every single one of his shurikens then

darkdill5 votes

He doesn't have to hit every single one. He simply outlasts you once he gets lifesteal. Tell me how Veigar recovers health in lane. HP pots don't cover it all.

Bard with 800 Chimes. You just got 1 shot.

Yeah, if you let Bard power-farm for chimes for 4 hours, you really pay for it by the end.

Funny if you think about it an immobile CCless melee champion should be the one getting crushed botlane.

Old Man Teeto12 votes

If I hadn't witnessed it myself, I'd laugh at whoever told me Morde would bottom lane carry and dominate the lane this season.

Riven vs Taric

It's fun seeing how long it takes them to rage in all-chat about the "no-skill champion".

Only Play Darius3 votes

I though Maokai was the "Shutdown Riven" toplaner.

Auz the Ripper5 votes

I've done that once or twice as taric It's really funny having more armor than riven has AD

There are no unwinnable matchups in lanes where summoner 12 is viable.

DrNova1 votes

They didn't say that.

My Waifu Vanilla6 votes

They have alluded to it multiple times since it's too "required" and they completely disregard 9+ players takesummoner 4

EyesOfTheFox2 votes

Yeah they pretty much made Flash a requirement since it has so much utility, even though they have "nerfed" Flash in the past, it still just has too many viable options for its use.

darkdill6 votes

I'm still wondering what might happen if Flash were made built-in like Recall.

(PST IT'S THE LADY ON THE RIGHT)

Leblanc hasn't countered Ahri in quite a long time. 57.6% win rate for Ahri in the matchup.

cant you just event horizon on top of yourself when zed ults? i havent played the match up, but in general zed shits on ap mids. veigar definitely can't WIN his lane but he can go even. so i guess can't win is a good term there.

dont know if you think ashe can't beat yi or yi can't be ashe....i mean a fed enough can stun him and kill him in time he is stunned, but yi general kills any adc so long as he can get on top of them.

tryndamere with ult vs donger seems interesting too, but im sure the donger could wait till you pop ult and then zhonyas himself before stunning you wtih grenade and walking away . there is some outplay potential there. i disagree with that one.

in a competent lane I feel anyone can beat anyone. there are a few terrible matchups. like kassadin vs annie, or quinn vs any melee top with only one gap closer. but for the most part you can outplay anything some just require more skill than others.

darkdill4 votes

Ashe cannot use her Frost Shot crits on Yi when he's using Highlander, so she essentially will NEVER kill him before he kills her. Ashe's only hope is to hit him with ECA, but he'll either purge it with QSS or dodge it with Alpha Strike.

Tryndamere with ult is super easy to stun with a Heimer grenade. And if Heimer also has Zhonya's, he can just enter Stasis when he gets in trouble and let his turrets kill Tryndamere. Also, you can't really push down a turret guarded by a Heimerdinger unless you have help from teammates.

I thought they specifically changed her Frost Shot so the debuff would still attach to slow-proof and CC-proof targets...and Baron and Dragon.

Still doesn't help her with the whole "immune to slows+untargetability frame" thing, but, y'know, small comforts.

Photos of Ghosts8 votes

Only Baron and Dragon, and it's been like that since the rework. They say it's intended for her to be worthless against unslowable champs

Anivia vs. Fizz is unwinnable if the Fizz isn't braindead.

Captain Aishi1 votes

Anivia vs Yasuo is even worse :S

ItsGflow3 votes

Nah. Just hug tower until 6. Proc shield with aa. Once you hit 6 just spam R+E. Dodge tornados and you're good.

Captain Aishi4 votes

really not, anivia has trouble farming under tower due to how slow her AA animation is, as well as low base damage

and also, spamming R+E is almost 200 mana everytime, and half of those are going to get windwalled so you just oom yourself for no gain whatsoever as yasuo lifesteals back what little damage he took by continually farming the minion waves

it's a lane where you have 0 kill pressure while being under pressure yourself, while also having almost no way to setup a gank

ItsGflow4 votes

Well I'd hope you could buy some mana. Not to mention the wind wall can just be baited by putting your ult down for a second. And farming under tower gets easier over time.
