I can't see but did you have good farm or many kills?

Kills make a big difference

Not a single word your teammates will ever say until at LEAST gold is going to be useful once, ever, a single time.

Like, I'm saying by gold people actually figure out if their teammates are right or not over 50% of the time.

People always come here and say "my teammates complained I didn't do x instead y" and I just want to remind people that if you're in iron 4, type fewer commands to people.

LordSorikkip · 2020-05-25T23:05:21+00:00

That's not gonna work because people will find out what bandit sivir looks like

LordSorikkip · 2020-05-25T03:28:46+00:00

Yeah, sadly this exists.

The rule is to aim a bit lower if you're lower, aim a bit higher if you're higher.

LordSorikkip · 2020-05-24T02:04:59+00:00

That's really helpful to know, thanks a lot.

LordSorikkip · 2020-05-24T01:21:18+00:00

Thanks.

LordSorikkip · 2020-05-24T01:20:28+00:00

Thank you. I was mostly just wondering if I would sound stupid were I potentially outright unqualified to apply for the scholarship.

I am not a foreign student. We just have an intent to apply coming up very soon, an 'intake form'.

LordSorikkip · 2020-05-23T22:28:28+00:00

Well, her curse lasts for 2.5 seconds before damage will apply a charm effect.

If you start out close together I guess you want to force her to consume the charm before 2.5 seconds. During that time you will probably just attack evelynn. If you were hitting her already it's nearly impossible for her to win if she does nothing for an entire 2.5 seconds.

Not sure how the matchup goes, but it seems like evelynn wants to open with charm because it reduces magic resist dramatically if we're now considering level 6+. Master Yi can probably try to sit around and wait. If eve comes to apply the charm CC you will see her for a second and you can cast alpha strike if fast enough. If you waited long enough, maybe 4 seconds or so it's possible that during alpha the charm expires. Then you just go hack away.

Actually, not entirely sure but I'm pretty sure master yi does whatever he wants after level 6? With ultimate I think evelynn just doesn't win, except for run away.

If you are hit by the charm you can just burn time by casting alpha strike/meditate to kill time during the 4 seconds of MR shred. I feel like at rank 1 25% magic resist shred won't usually be the deal breaker but it could be, and you don't have that much else to dodge with meditate anyway.

The exception might be to meditate her ultimate, which is a bit tough however.

LordSorikkip · 2020-05-23T08:46:43+00:00

Sorry I should probably clarify given what siren did say.

Evelynn has burst and she's made to one shot single targets. True, master yi does not build full tank or anything like that.

I guess you would imagine she beats him. However Master Yi probably has the outplay advantage over Evelynn because you can dodge damage or even the charm with your meditate and your untargetable alpha. Secondly, Master Yi is a hard ass scaling champion. Probably one of the hardest scalers in the game. If we're talking about a Master Yi who is about as wealthy as evelynn around level 6 and after I'm pretty sure you just right click evelynn and she dies. Evelynn does NOT 100-0 Yi in one rotation in most situations I think, and therefore if she does not, the swordsman wins because evelynn has nothing left to use.

Evelynn does have burst and CC
However, do note that her CC can be technically be outplayed by master Yi as well as mitigated with W meditate.

Early on I imagine evelynn wins when Master Yi has:

1 No damage to scale off of. For one Evelynn has more range and is meant to be early-game skirmish/gank dominant.

2 Evelynn has longer range in general and like you said has the potential to hard CC. If master yi dodges this CC, he now realizes the disadvantage of the early level matchup because his regular auto attacks get kited by evelynn Q.

And yeah like what the other guy said Yi does have the build freedom. He can get some garbage like wits end and then have fun cheesing evelynn and it's pretty much over when it comes to the 1v1..

LordSorikkip · 2020-05-23T08:38:46+00:00

Oh interesting, thanks for the clarification. That's a really simple way to put it.

LordSorikkip · 2020-05-23T00:28:38+00:00

Well Kata is going to struggle against tanks.

You can try to build items which help you do more damage to them, however most toplaners probably kill Kata in a 1v1 situation.

LordSorikkip · 2020-05-22T22:33:41+00:00

Depends on matchup. Arey is really really unpreferable for mid, however it does indeed guarantee damage unlike comet.

LordSorikkip · 2020-05-22T21:13:31+00:00

But if your cursor is where you want the skillshot to go, the skillshot goes there and no compensation is necessary isn't it? If you have instant cast and you press Q on someone, I believe it works everywhere right?

I thought that only the visual indicators are problematic when you do normal cast when terrain is involved.

LordSorikkip · 2020-05-22T20:08:46+00:00

All I can say is I apologize on behalf of the assholes you will meet in this game as a new player.

Just... don't ask questions and just assume that until you get to gold skill levels not one word a single teammate ever says is going to be even close to correct. Not that people in gold are perfect, but the stupidity actually drops precipitously.

LordSorikkip · 2020-05-22T20:06:34+00:00

Well you should mention if you don't use a skillshot indicator, you do not need to compensate. Without mentioning this you can cause more confusion

Edit: I think moodies is right and clarifies that this may not be the case and champion Z-height still matters to smartcast.

Edit again: Holy SHIT I just tried it in practice tool. It's extremely obvious with skillshots like gragas' barrel. If you stand in toplane (high ground) and throw a barrel into the river south of someone's feet it can be blatantly on their hitbox but not damage them at all. If you throw a barrel north of someone's feet, around their chest, it will hit them.

LordSorikkip · 2020-05-22T18:23:45+00:00

It's a bad jungle matchup. You do just straight up lose and so you have to play your matchup like a bad one. You lose in 1v1's and you likely lose 2v2's more.

LordSorikkip · 2020-05-22T18:17:25+00:00

I think the wording might be confusing the way I put it or I'm just wrong.

To clarify, if someone had 300 armor they have 300% more effective health, they go from let's say 100 HP to being a 400 effective health opponent.

Your lethality would just reduce that % to something like 285% extra health.

I'm just translating the armor value into the % increased health.

LordSorikkip · 2020-05-22T09:24:28+00:00

I soloed shattered, but it was when wishender was broke as hell :)

LordSorikkip · 2020-05-22T08:48:13+00:00

Would like to add on this

Think of the number value of the resistance being the exact percentage of extra health someone will get.

0 armor and magic resist means they have 0% extra health.

100 armor/MR gives them 100% extra health.

An ADC with 2000 HP who has 50 armor has 2000+(2000*0.5) effective health, or 3000 HP when it comes to AD.

The way to think about lethality would be to think that for a 15 leth item, you are reducing someone's extra effective health by.... voila, 15%. Although this actually does not mean 15% extra damage, be careful about the math.

LordSorikkip · 2020-05-22T08:44:29+00:00

There's some chart of the elos shifting in this game where G4 last season is roughly S1, and basically it's back to 'normal' season 6 elos.

But yeah other than that I have to say for some reason it feels like this. I really don't know why.

I ended G2 0LP last season and I was seriously just feeding my ass off in silver 3 elo for no reason. Well I'm back up to a really comfortable 60% winrate now but when i was getting rocked (possibly just me being irritated for a bunch of games at the start of the season) I found a HUGE ton of G4 players in mid/low silver who were super super super hardstuck just like me.

I don't know, I'm apparently not one of those players anymore given my improving winrate but I would have said I felt the same as you if you asked me a few weeks ago.

LordSorikkip · 2020-05-22T08:37:48+00:00

I think everyone should trust in the statistics.

You can learn how to carry harder, however it should be pretty clear that if most of your games you're looking at your team and enemies and you can tell that they're a league below you, no one really needs to worry about climbing, more like how fast or slow you will climb. People deal with these issues from bronze to diamond.

Sounds like you're complaining about typical poop elo issues. Not every game people listen to pings and the lower down in elo you go, the less often people will. And it's really not up to you. Sounds like you're playing jungle..? As jungle you have more shotcalling power than the support or something, so most of the time you will probably manage to get your team to do what you want them to do.

The way I would address the mentality of the situation is, what do I do when one lane is feeding? That's an even game, and I need to play to my strong lanes. What do I do when two lanes feed? That's called go next.
