All for One Does and Don'ts

Hello everyone! Welcome to a simple tutorial on OFA. Allow me to explain each champion category, and how fun they are to play as, or against.

Velkoz Mages: Lots of spam, are fun to play and generally entertaining to play "dodge the skillshot." Tryndamere Ad/Ap Fighters: Fun enough to play, not super fun to play against unless you have a champion of a similar kit. Darius Juggernauts/tank fighters: This is a boring game to play, as domination gets slow and dull. This will literally give you aids to play against. I shouldn't have to say it, but you're are the worst kind of scum if you want to play 5v5 Darius. Bard Supports: You know, those little burst mages with cc/sustain, or little tanks with minimal damage. Yea these are hella fun to play, and building AD braum, or AD lux is fun. Playing against supports is quite enjoyable from my experience. Rammus Tanks: Not to be confused with juggernauts. Tanks are Tanky champions with minimal damage out put (Braum, Nautilus, Alistar, Amumu, etc) These are fun to play as. (That moment when their entire team takes time to kill you) and they're only moderately annoying to play against. Caitlyn Finally marksmen: As you can imagine pre-30 minutes they're fun, until of course the enemy team builds some armor. These are fun to play for a while, but they get slow and boring over time. These can be kind of annoying early, but if you have mages it's fine, and tanks win in the long range.

Have fun with this upcoming gamemode!

(P.S. If you didn't catch my drift, try playing darius once, then you'll see why he almost always gets banned)

(To possible riot reader. Just ban certain champions, they're not very fun to play against as there's almost no counter play for 5 Beat-m-up champions. (Darius ,Galio ,Gnar ,Yasuo . Just a quality of life balance to add on the second or third day.)

one other thing not to do...

Picking a champ because you think they will be op or have heard they are op but have never played them

played 2 games this morning.....

First game 1 person picks LB then mid way through says i thought she would be easier to play......

Second game 2 people pick kindred , i ask as game starts so who has played this champ one of the guys who picked him had, the rest of us hadnt and well the other guy who picked him was like well i wanted to try him out and heard he was op as hell.....

I will say the first game was awful the second game we did win but that was i think because we had 1 guy who actually knew what he was doing.

So please guys think before you pick a champ talk about it while the bans are going on who would be a good choice otherwise it may end up biting you in the behind.

Highly recommend not picking complicated champs, such as Zed, that your team won't know how to use. Pick ones that are easy to learn and people will be more familiar with.

I've never got to play this mode, but after all the videos I've seen and chatting with friends I'm SUPER PUMPED FOR THIS

Another thing is items Do's and Dont's. You kind of touched on it, but if the other team is all AD, you get some armor. If they are all mages, get magic resist. Also, Banner of Command is a must have when playing against all mages.

If you are all magic damage champions, one of you should build ADC. For example in a team of 5 Vladimirs, one should still be ADC (I use this as an extreme example, as Vlad's kit has no AD scalings or reason to basic attack). This is so that you can still deal damage to the enemy if they build straight magic resist. And you'll have someone who can take out promoted minions (seriously, banner of command is super op) Unfortunately, if your kit has no magic damage built in, there isn't much you can do to vary your team's damage output.

I played ap kindred (on hit of course) and it worked well against most enemies. Do the random, the unexpected my friends!

Vladimir has a "redeeming" ability to boost the effectiveness of life steal. He still makes a subpar adc, but it's not the worst case scenario.

Probably.

It's hard to tell whether champions that have great potential for unintended interactions (ie. Syndra) or champions that can function effectively in a variety of roles (ie. Lulu) are better off, so go ahead and play what's fun.

Good to know about that life steal boost effect. What would be a better example of a champion that would be a terrible ADC? Anivia maybe? Anyway, you get the picture.

Lulu is a great example of a champion can satisfy each role. That's talking about the standard meta, and the meta doesn't really apply to featured game modes.

Bear in mind this is a humorous and light hearted gamemode. Do the most anti-meta idea possible. For instance full ap kindred, you build onhit and she's still a big problem to deal with XD.

The problem is, no one else is going to go anti-meta. A meta will evolve, and that will be the end of it. Those who ignore it will simply lose, only it won't just be a loss, it will be 20 minutes of pure stomping. Sounds like a blast. This community ruins everything.

Almost no counter play to Darius?

Renekton Gnar etc.

EDIT: I forgot the other ones, but there is enough counterplay to be aware of.

these work in 1v1 situations. Not so much in 5v5.

Cause whatever you do, don't bully him out of lane so he can get items!

stomped Darius with Brand

duo lanes one takes w or e and other takes q you will stun one every time and then at level 2 when both have q thats both stunned at 6 both ults from brand so much damage. by the end and team fights the darius team were getting stunned left and right then the 5 man ult and pillars going in they couldnt do a damn thing.

EvilScotsman19741 votes

we destroyed 5 Yasuo with 4 Annie with the end coming after they got baron and walked onto a qudra kill tibbers, any one of the 4 of us could have gotten the quadra as we all seemed to drop tibbers at the same time and finally a well deserved penta coming in and as we headed to their base the /ff came in :p
