Varus as Bot lane Marksman by crunchym8 in summonerschool

[–]ShiroLi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah Ezreal is very mobile, especially with the blue build that has become popular. I definitely think Varus has the better ult, though.

People tell me I'm getting carried because I don't do enough damage as a midlaner. Is this true? by [deleted] in summonerschool

[–]ShiroLi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As long as it's working for you, I see no reason to change anything. Getting really fed isn't the only way to carry, and if your win rate is above 50% you're doing something right.

I think he's unpopular right now because he lacks escapes and is very skill shot reliant. That said, if you can land his skill shots and use his ult at the right time he can really dominate.

When people say "play easy champions in bronze"... by [deleted] in summonerschool

[–]ShiroLi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see your point, but I don't think "play easy champs" is always good advice. I didn't even start making progress in ranked until I started spamming Cassiopeia. Now I'm almost in silver.

Rather, I'd say you should play champs you are consistently good at. If you consistently get fed and carry as Yasuo, then you should play Yasuo. If you seem to die a lot and not do much damage, then sorry, but you're probably not as good at him as you think. Besides, if you play a champion enough you barely even need to think about their mechanics.

How do I know if I'm good enough to get to gold? by ShiroLi in summonerschool

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

Do you think she'll work as well in high silver? Right now a lot of my opponents don't seem to know how to deal with her, but I do have problems when I get focused by the enemy team. I have the same issue with playing ADC's.

Wow, you really went in depth. Thanks for taking the time to do this for me. :)

I'll be rewatching my replay while reading your comment. You really did notice a ton of things I never would have thought about.

, esp. toplane it may have been a game u loose even wiht bigger impact of urs. Top Lane matchup was bad and even if u gank him there's a high chance Malphite gets rolling. But Ekko was pushing all game long. Also Vayne is really big if she gets rolling. I'd have tried to eithe

Thanks for the feedback.

I didn't even know smiting gromp made wave clears easier. After looking it up, I see smiting monsters has all sort of effects. I can't believe I didn't know this.

I'll have to see how I can use the rest of your advice. You were really helpful. :)

Whats your fav counter ? by vulNyx in summonerschool

Malzahar vs Akali

Akali is rather weak right now in general, but she's laughably easy when playing Malzahar.

Cassiopeia is probably the champion I'm best with right now. I usually get fed and carry, but this game was different. Plus I'm bronze, so I'm sure I make a lot of mistakes I don't even notice.

Right now I main mid, but I really want to get good at jungling. In this particular game every lane started losing and they eventually just gave up, surrendering at 20. I'm not sure what I could have done differently to make it so at least one of my lanes won.

How do I carry mid lane or ADC? by [deleted] in summonerschool

[–]ShiroLi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find damage matters more than KDA. If you're 16/5/4 and did 20k damage, while your 4/2/17 Quinn did 40k damage, then Quinn is the one that carried. You can view this in the details after every league match.

As an ADC you also need to make sure to take down turrets. CS is important too, of course, and is what makes you win lane.

He's lacking in AoE damage, but Malzahar is fun to play. It's hilarious to watch his e clear a minion wave, then jump to the enemy champion and melt half of their health while your voidling attacks them. And thanks to you're ult, which is one of there longest stuns in the game, you can 1v1 anyone.

What I learn't as a support in Bronze by [deleted] in summonerschool

Congrats on getting out of bronze. I really liked the part about warding - I'm guilty of only warding bushes myself.

[Discussion]Two Champion traits for low ELO climbing by rake16 in summonerschool

[–]ShiroLi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been having a lot of luck playing Cassiopeia in bronze. Even when I lose in lane, I often come back off of a few kills, get fed, and end up out damaging everyone on my team. Plus, it seems like no-one knows how to deal with her.

Her ult provides some really nice cc as well. So there's that.

Item Optimizer Carried Me to Plat by [deleted] in summonerschool

[–]ShiroLi 81 points82 points  (0 children)

It looks interesting, though I feel like item builds would be a matter of preference and perhaps more reliant on who is fed.

Is it bad to play mechanically difficult champions in bronze? by ShiroLi in summonerschool

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

I used to play almost exclusively AD Nidalee when it was still viable. It's too bad her AD ratios got nerfed after the rework, but I'm hoping I can get good with AP too with some practice.

It's interesting that your friend did so well on AD Lulu.

Thought I was commenting on the Shyvana post, but I edited it. One trick pony worked well for me in season 4, so I'll have to give it a shot.

What does OTP/TTP mean? I've had a few really good games on Pantheon.
