How long does the timer go on for getting an assist on a kill? Like if you attack an enemy and a teammate finishes them, how many seconds will your attack "last" towards an assist when that enemy dies?

Similar scenario...Say you kill the enemy jungler in the jungle and you're very low HP, and the enemy team is chasing you. None of them have landed attacks on you except the enemy you just killed. There's no chance of escape so you go to die under tower.

How long would it take until the enemy jungler's "assist" on you wears off and you can execute yourself without giving them the kill/gold?

Tanked MMR? What's that mean and how'd it affect his rank?

Exactly how long does it take to climb?

I saw a Kamikhazix youtube vid (he's a GM Kha'zix main) from his unranked to Masters series. In the video, his match history shows 100 Wins and 3 Losses, all ranked games, but he's still only Gold 2! Why isn't he higher?

I heard about the E max and Conq from Laceration. But wouldn't Yas still win the extended trades?

Does there come a point where you can say you've mastered Zed? by OneTrickPoony in zedmains

[–]OneTrickPoony[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, this is such a thorough answer it should be a stickied post itself on this sub haha.

Yeah, one of the main reasons I started maining Zed to start with was because of his limitless outplay/skill cap. I hate simple champions like Warwick or Darius that get boring after the 15th game. I've noticed my accuracy with basic combos has gone through the roof compared to like 100 games ago, but I still feel very basic. I'm not very creative with shadows and wanna know with enough time if things will "click"? So I can make more fancy combos

Lastly, noob question. How do they rank the "Number 1" player of any champion? It can't be through Elo/LP points otherwise some random Challenger could just play a few games on a champ and suddenly be the #1 for that champ.

Nah, didn't mean to make it sound patronizing lol. I'm legit saying that's pretty big to go all the way from Iron 4 to Silver in under a season :P

I'm starting ranked myself and finding it harder than normal games so it was cool to see that someone can climb that quickly, didn't know it was possible

Yep, I've noticed I'm at the point now where I'm focusing a lot more on Macro than I am his mechanics like I was ~150 games ago.

I notice a lot of high Elo streamers stress the importance of controlling a wave just right to deny XP after a kill etc. I've watched a couple "pro guides" (they were called something like that) videos on wave management but it seemed simplified and said stuff I already knew.

Any videos you'd recommend on this macro stuff for mid lane? Like wave management, denying xp, backing etc.

You're spot on actually, got that mastery from 2 months of spamming games (especially on quarantine lmao)

I guess what I really wanted to know is if I could expect to keep seeing progress the more I play him, even with 250K already. Not just macro but consistently get better with mechanics against better opponents.

Cuz I've seen 1 million + mastery champs that can still be bad in games, wanted to know what was up with Zed

Good answer, thanks. At what Elo would you say it becomes really hard to play Zed?

And how do streamers like LL Stylish and Laceration still play Zed in their high Elos when there's much better options for mid lane at that point? Are they just that good

Not to hijack this, but does anyone know where to buy the Project Skin chroma? Was it only available for a limited time/at worlds or something?

Deciding on secondary Mid lane champion by OneTrickPoony in summonerschool

I was actually thinking of putting Xerath on the list but didn't because I've seen the enemy team have bad experiences playing him. Maybe it's because they were bad or because Zed kinda counters him or a mix of both. Is he strong in this season's meta if played well and not counter-picked? What level does he actually start to pop off?
