When Someone Tries To Tell You How To Play Your Main...

Singed is a teamfight beast! Just running around and putting out a tiny bit (depending on build) of DPS from the poison trail and maybe flipping the ADC. Hes a terrible splitpusher! /s

Always the Vaynes.

I feel ya.... [zombie-brand-facepalm]

If you start W, you can set a shrine up for mid lane early, which is a huge help sometimes. Then set one up for your jg after their second/third camp. Still plenty of time to grab the first chime spawns and leash.

but i max E on sion and its very effective... doesn't mean he isnt an ass tho

To be fair, maxing E first gives you more lane presence due to its reliability and longer range, especially against a champion with a blink/dash like Azir. Of course, if you're building AD, you'd want to max Q first.

E might've actually been better, as it is in most cases, against a not bad azir. The poke is good and reliable, and allows you to set up a much more powerful q due to its increased slow. Sion is best using his abilities at mid range to maximize damage dealt while minimizing damage taken. He is also a mediocre duelist to moderate at best, so it's best to stay out of close range of most top lane opponents. If you so happen to come across a toplane opponent that has longer range than you, it's very likely that you can out duel them at mid range with q, w, and grasp, but if you can't, ie Darius, riven, garen, you out "poke" them, poke including q at mid range when used correctly.

As a Sion main I can tell you that the majority of my games, I max e into q into w. And you might say: "why max w last when your shield is so important and is so small at early ranks?" The answer is, in the majority of games you get more damage off with q and e than w, and the shield scales with health so it's good even if you don't rank it up, add onto that the dumb mana cost at rank 5 and you get a skill that's not very efficient to upgrade even if you start to lose lane. Additionally the damage you get from an e q combo can easily chunk most leaning opponents for a third health if they didn't buy any resists, which is pretty good for a tank. There are few scenarios where maxing w second is better than maxing q or e (and even then there are not too many good scenarios in which q max is better than e max). You are required to be losing lane, have maxed q first, have many tanky or high hp champs on the enemy team who ALSO have built small amounts to no MR, and be team fighting a lot. OR be losing lane, maxed q and have a team that already has a TON of damage, and you just need to be the big meat wall that defends them.

quick tell me how to play against a riven I was against one the other day and got stomped, or do I just need to hit e more

: Jax, it's called QSS, repeat after me.

: malz no skill git gud you %%%got i play a champ who has skill to play

: You went 0/6, you're just bad at Vayne. Buy QSS.

I do understand that too, but sometimes people are just dumb with their advice and its something you clearly should never follow. Like when someone told me to build tank soraka with Spirit Visage and Warmogs and to not build "any of those useless support items." If Spirit Visage and Warmogs were more cost efficient, than yeah, I would understand. I used to play with both those items in fact. Then I realized I never got both those items in 95% of my games. So until games last longer or warmogs is cheaper, I like my "useless support items."

But at the same time, I have gotten some wicked good advice and tips in games as well about my main. So it can go either way. Mostly is personal preference and practicality.

you are in the right, they are in the bronze

But my E scales armor.

People in low elo don't know how to situational build. I once built witts end,maw ND quicksilver blade and merchandise treads on ashe because of a fed rammus. It paid off late game.
