But then as the match goes on, you start noticing how they're struggling against you.

Then you realize they're not entirely familiar with the champion, so you take advantage of this factor.

At the end, you win the game and dominated your lane. You say "gg" to your rival but with a devious smile.

Jinx is easy as hell to play

Shrapnel ShrapFeb 6, 20165 votes

They're using the image as an expression, I doubt they're using Jinx as a specific example. Also, if you haven't played a champion at least once before, it is likely going to be difficult for the first and second match to get used to how they work and synergize with other champions.

Besides, there aren't that many difficult-to-learn ADCs. Jinx isn't exactly MissFortune when it comes to ease-of-use, I'd put her somewhere in the middle. The ones that are particularly difficult, you don't really see that often. I'm referring pretty much to Draven , KogMaw , Vayne , and maybe Lucian , because I see a ton of bad Lucians.

I'm... pretty sure it was a joke guys.

Wait, how do i right click again? I ult them at point blank, full HP right?

SelflessTeammateFeb 6, 20161 votes

Yeah, but then I get determined to learn that champion for the sole reason that I keep seeing the other champion a ton.

Which is why all that Skarner is paying off super-nicely with everyone picking LeeSin Jax MasterYi Kindred Rengar XinZhao , and of course, Graves .

I like all 20 of my rank-5 champs equally. They all have a place. Even if I'm picking Karthus and Skarner the vast majority of the time. Draven and Poppy if I'm in the mood for something besides mid/jungle.

Donger is the only mid laner i can counter with. And apart from that, even when im the one countered, i play pretty damn well XD.[slayer-jinx-wink]

Hey this is rather unrelated to the topic(sorry op) but could you give me any tips on versing Zed as Lux? He's the one champion I struggle against when playing Lux, so any advice would be super awesome!:)

Start Cloth+4 and start building into . Your gonna be short on mana since your E costs an arm and a leg, so don't spam spells early on.
Avoid his WEQ combo as best you can and save your Q once he hits 6.
Put a pink in the bush in the river to watch for enemy jungle as well as helping your other lanes for when Zed tries to roam.
NEVER follow Zed when he roams. That's just asking for him to all in you.
Most importantly of all, spam laugh whenever you kill Zed to show him who's boss.

Update: This has been a life saver...recently got first blood on a Zed and then double kill(I flashed into my turret when enemy yi alpha striked and then binded him:P) only because I was able to take so much less damage due to the cloth armor and the 4 hp pots helped a lot too! Thanks so much, you're a legend!:)

Statistically, even if he was a good Zed you'd still most likely win the game.

Last month, I faced three people whom tried to counter me when I went Nasus top.

Faced a Darius , Pantheon , and Rumble whom were picked right after I picked first. But the difference was, I went Nasus top because i'm very familiar with him, what builds are required to survive certain match ups, and used him countless times where I can escape ganks or turn it into a double kill. These players, although skillful- only chose these champions to have an 'easy' time to shut me down early and thought that's all they needed to do by picking said champion.

Suddenly i'm 11 / 3 or 9 / 0 by the end of the game, because they didn't know how to handle a well farmed Nasus. By the time a gank does happen, it's usually too late and I either scare em off or get a kill (hardly died to any of those since I was over 400 stacks).

So yea, i'd much rather play a champion I knew than risk by simply picking a counter champion I hardly use just for the sake of countering.

Rekt a Garen as Akali a long long time ago. His teammates wanted to report him because apparently, in champ select, he said this lane would be easy. I guess he didn't specify for whom.

GetMariahCarriedFeb 7, 20161 votes

When you're jungler says they won't gank because you picked an easily counterable champion, then ragequits 20 minutes later while you're 3/1/3, because their afk farming tactics (shocker) don't turn out so well for other lanes.

ugh...

Champ select:

MasterYi I googled you. You have no ranked games as her. See, they picked a fizz. Thanks a lot. Not ganking you. Katarina You're a Yi. That's a given. (silence)

Their Backdoorer Tryndamere backdoors top relentlessly with Yi nearby, with map awareness inversely proportional to number of goggles. Then Trynd backdoors MID while I'm ganking bot. Our Backdoorer MasterYi , in top river, sees Trynd on mid tower... and goes for herald. Then goes top, pushes with no vision, and then dies to 2-man gank once he reaches top tower, then afk's.

Hey, here's a quick tip people. You can Google? Google "what am I doing wrong?" instead of "reasons to bitch at randos" and you MIGHT actually make some progress in your League endeavors.
