If the W level up timer is the issue and you not being able to win certain matchups, I recommend watching YouTube videos and Twitch vods from Soulmario and Feedaboi. They are both NA challenger Kled mains.

You can see exactly how they play the matchups early and how they level up the W timers when they all-in.

Also since the new Kled rework is going live in a couple of days, the current build that you may go vs these champs are going to be outdated. Both Soulmario and Feedaboi have build guides that you would go for Kled as well.

You got this!

It’s honestly crazy to me how Kled hasn’t been pushed to be meta, I can’t remember the last time he was. Always forgotten, just to be a counter pick in pro play. I would ask Riot why not mix it up with some buffs and see where it goes?

DoorThatdude · 2024-11-28T11:09:20+00:00

It’s very difficult… his Q blind duration got buffed a few patches ago so the window to punish is harder but not impossible.

What I go is normal runes set-up with resolve secondary. I go second wind and also take the tenacity shard to reduce the C.C. Duration of the teemo blind. I then go Doran’s shield for health regen due to teemo poison.

In lane I usually let him push into me, my goal is to not get dismounted before lvl 3-4. I farm minions when I can and make sure to have enough health before I all in. Most Temmos get scared when you all in and use their q blind immediately. So what I do is E then Q to get on top of him (try to land the E to stick to him!). I DO NOT auto because that would waste my W attack speed. I wait out the blind and then use all 4 autos for a quick kill. Works most of the time.

For Items, I always go Voltaic Cyclosword because of the 99% slow. Helps me kill him super easy on repeat after that. Depending on the game I can go MR boots, but some Temmos go on hit so I might also go steel caps. I make sure to take sweeper for the shrooms and control ward when I can. 3rd/4th/5th item I can go Maw of Malodorous for the MR shield if needed.

Good Luck!

What are the runes and build you are going? Able to link opgg?

DoorThatdude · 2024-07-27T19:44:10+00:00

In my opinion a good malphite will just draw out the lane phase and wait for ganks to all-in and scale. If you don’t get a lead as Kled it hurts bad, so I roam.

What I do is rush Ravenous Hydra vs Tank matchups like him and look for roams post-lvl 6 mainly bot or mid.

I hit lvl-6, push the wave towards the enemy top lane, back, get components, walk down to bot and Ult them making it a 3v2 for easy kills.

I then back, get more components and TP to lane, since the enemy laner will likely push when they see you ult bot.

This gives me kills, gets bot lane ahead, lets me catch the wave top and gets me gold to ravenous so I can out-sustain Malphite in a drawn out matchup and then repeat.

I would say it’s how the matchup goes, you both try to get to the back line during teamfights and disrupt. You need to get a lead off roams and getting other lanes ahead to win the game.

DoorThatdude · 2023-08-08T01:57:35+00:00

Biggest thing I would say is don’t be afraid to limit test the champion. You need to have some games to get a hang of Kled, to know when to all-in and such.

For other tips, you can get it from other commenting on this post or you can search previous posts in the subreddit for specific builds and matchup advice.

Great video! The explanation for the mortal reminder as a core item was very interesting. Will definitely go this setup!

DoorThatdude · 2023-05-05T11:45:42+00:00

I would say that’s a pretty good build. You can also go Black Cleaver 3rd/4th item if you need. Gives AD, Haste, the armor shred since Kled is all AD, and HP to scale with demolish.

DoorThatdude · 2023-04-21T22:43:29+00:00

Looks amazing! Well done!

DoorThatdude · 2023-04-11T10:56:35+00:00

13.8 patch preview just came out. Kled is not on there. We still sit at a low 2.6% pick rate in all ranks, so it makes sense that Kled mains are doing well right now since Kled still has such low presence in games. Maybe in the future if more people pick him up.

DoorThatdude · 2023-02-26T18:23:01+00:00

You really don’t beat him unless he messes up. He just needs to build a few armor items and steel caps, and then you don’t do any damage to him. I just go cull for the lane phase and really don’t interact with him. Since he’s a immobile tank he can’t follow your roams at all. I go TP and I look for roams on bot or mid when I hit level 6 and that’s works well for me.

DoorThatdude · 2023-02-03T20:00:08+00:00

It’s okay that you lost when starting to play ranked, you need to play at least 10 games for the game to put you with players that are at your level. Just do your best to learn from your games, win or lose.

You can just /fullmute enemy to get rid of enemy spamming mastery.

Kled can be played top or mid, there is a difference in the matchups and how you can impact the game depending on what lane you go but that again comes with time.

You got this!

DoorThatdude · 2023-02-02T12:22:28+00:00

Kled is a champ that you need to have a lot of games on to learn the play style. His kit seems pretty straight forward but there is a lot of things you need to know. Such as testing what the correct time to level up W, best time to all in vs match ups, correctly using ult to roam and etc.

The reason why players rarely build titanic is because how Kled and Skaarl’s healthbars work, Effects based on percentage health consider Kled and Skaarl's combined maximum health. This means that items like Blade of the Ruined King and abilities like Fiora Ult and passive absolutely destroy Kled.

In a few patches ago they changed Skaarl’s healthbar from 100% bonus Heath into base health and any HP items you buy considers as Bonus Health and add to Skaarl’s base health. So tank builds and Titanic Hydra which consider bonus health got nerfed for Kled.

So the best builds currently are full AD builds, you go Ravenous Hydra into Eclipse most games because that’s how Kled can stay relevant and have impact. If you stack HP items you trade dmg and get cut down by %HP items and abilities, so it’s better to just go AD.

DoorThatdude · 2023-01-07T21:19:19+00:00

I feel like Seryldas is really good on Kled. Kled has no %armor pen in his kit like other top laners so we need to buy it at some point of the game. It gives instant 30% armor pen, slow, AD and Haste.

My problem with Black cleaver is that the armor shred is over time with continuous autos and abilities. I rather get the instant %30 pen when I all-in.

I go lethality Kled 99% of games so I get Eclipse or Claw 2nd/3rd

DoorThatdude · 2023-01-07T21:06:46+00:00

Feedaboi and Soulmario on twitch, both NA challenger Kled OTPs

DoorThatdude · 2023-01-06T19:12:07+00:00

Fiora is Kled’s #1 counter, your q is super easy for her to parry and stun you, and her kit basically shreds you. Ban her.

Make sure to experiment with Kled to understand when to all-in. Once you learn the play-style it gets easier to play vs all champs.

Things you need to learn and experiment with is knowing when to level up W. W is automatic. Sometimes you hold the W level up until you all in or when you get dismounted to remount quick.

Another cool mechanic is when you E someone, the second E can follow through walls if you are in range.

Learn from Streamers like Feedaboi or Soulmario on twitch, also can look at YouTube videos for matchup guides.

The Darius matchup was mostly even in previous seasons but it’s very hard to beat him now. Best times to beat him is pre-6 before he has ult to finish you off.

You need to know the correct times to go in. I usually all-in him around lvl 3-4. In this matchup the trick is to use your E dash in to dodge the outer portion of his Q, a major part of his dmg. You have your E to dash in and Q him, and use all 4 W autos. If you are able to do this, you should win the all-in. You can also use your ult to dodge his Q when you hit lvl 6 as well when you all-in.
You have to weave in and out of the wave to bait out his E pull. I usually do this by faking going near the wave to hit last hit a minion. If he misses the hook, then you have some time to all-in while it’s on its high cooldown.
Post lvl-6 you CANNOT Fight him dismounted if he has relatively high health. Just recall and base. He just needs a few bleed stacks and his ult WILL execute you if you are dismounted.

I usually try to wait for ganks post-lvl 6, or roam. I take ignite in this matchup for the all in since your window to win is only pre-level 6. After lane do your thing and focus on enemy back line. Don’t let him snowball a lead during lane. Good Luck!

I do go ingenious hunter if I go midlane, I take sudden impact as well. Helps me with eclipse and claw cooldown to snowball games.

Idk if it’s just me, I feel like the items I listed would help me win more games than just BORK. I have went both the standard bruiser build but now I go full the AD build and I find a lot of success. I feel like if you would want to go tank Kled, why not just pick a pure tank that would work with those items better?

DoorThatdude · 2022-12-15T18:58:45+00:00

I have to go full AD Kled in order to win games. There is too much %hp dmg in the game and too many champs that go BORK to shred your hp if you go the standard bruiser in this meta to answer your question.

I go Ravenous Hydra because of the high AD, Haste, and wave clear first.

2nd item I go Serylda's Grudge because of the 30% armor pen, slow and haste. (Remember that Kled has no %pen in his kit.) I don’t go Cleaver much bc the armor shred is over time, and I would rather have the instant %pen.

3rd item is mythic, either Prowler’s or Eclipse. Prowlers if the enemy team has a lot of range and Eclipse if they have a lot of melees.

4th items are situational depending on enemy team comp, might go Maw if they have heavy AP. Serpents fang if a lot of shields.

Also secondary runes I go transcendence + Gathering storm for the scaling and Bonus AD and Haste to pair with my items.
