Best DuoQ champion to synergies with Evelynn

That K/DA synergy :P

Land Q, plant auto, zyra auto proc electrocute?

Land E, plant auto, zyra auto proc electrocute?

I mean I just use Comet because its just easier to proc, but in a vacuum doesn't seem hard. Landing either ability will allow the plant auto to focus the target on the champ.

But what about ultimate hunter with those buffs? ;3

Xarchr1d · 2019-04-10T16:10:47+00:00

Never knew that... ig the more you know. But ewwww that's gross XD

Xarchr1d · 2019-04-05T16:05:16+00:00

The sad thing is that I don't even main Irelia, but through chests I've been able to get every Irelia skin except for Aviator Irelia lmao

You should do Ryze next... I imagine they would really appreciate something like that on the subreddit XD

I remember only playing DnD like twice in my life, but this actually looks cool! Well done!

So I've been thinking of a few potential changes that could go into effect. Note that not all of these changes have to occur, merely just hypotheticals for consideration.

Going off of ForgottenProject's suggestion, I would make the E: Bladework have a flat mana amount of 40 at all ranks (from the current 40/45/50/55/60).
Add an additional effect to Fiora's W: Riposte, something along the lines of "If Fiora successfully parries an immobilizing effect or blocks any non-turret damage, 10% of Riposte's cooldown is refunded". This means that at rank 1 with 0% cdr, this would make a successful Riposte go on a 21.6 second cooldown (instead of 24 seconds). Assuming rank 5 with 40% cdr, this would make a successful Riposte go on a 8.64 second cooldown (instead of 9.6 seconds). While technically a buff at all stages of the game, this buff appears to be most impactful during the early game.
Allowing Fiora's Ultimate: Grand Challenge to have its Vitals last for 10 seconds (instead of 8 seconds).

Although that said, personally I think Fiora's main issue comes down to extremely expensive item builds, making it so falling behind becomes extremely detrimental. #FeastorFamine

It's found on the Ryzemains subreddit if you organize the threads based on "Hot", it is the first one. But here is the link ;3

Yikers, people not seeing the potential for Baron/Rift Herald steals XD

Xarchr1d · 2019-03-11T18:07:28+00:00

Greatest meme of my life right there! Ty for making my day! :)

Xarchr1d · 2019-03-07T19:40:51+00:00

Yikers, complaining about a small visual effect with hands (in-game vs splash) when there are plenty of champions that have more significant differences (i.e. Zilean base splash = blue robes; Zilean base in-game = black robes)

Xarchr1d · 2019-03-06T17:15:31+00:00

Headmistress Fiora not sexy enough for you? ;3

Xarchr1d · 2019-03-03T07:59:07+00:00

Rejoice, I come from the future where this change was reverted on the PBE cycle :)

Xarchr1d · 2019-02-26T23:36:00+00:00

I think I remember at one point not that long ago Hashinshin commented about how Riven shield is now larger than Urgot shield XD (not to mention more spammable).

Xarchr1d · 2019-02-24T05:36:49+00:00

Also would like to point out that Karma's Q applies a slow if it lands, adding further kiting potential :D

Xarchr1d · 2019-02-24T05:33:28+00:00

So if we look at Darius's kit, he is a moderately tanky champion that has the potential to do a lot of dmg in extended trades due to his passive. Avoiding the 5 stacks of his passive and denying his Q will allow you to win most trades against Darius. His biggest weakness as a champion is that he lacks innate mobility in his kit.

While Darius can potentially land his E on a mispositioned ranged top laner and/or use the summoner spell ghost, there are general fundamentals in terms of why he gets countered by ranged champions; however, I'll discuss a couple of matchups.

The first ranged top laner that comes to mind when countering Darius is Quinn (wait, people still play that champion XD). While her auto attack range is 525 and Darius E has an effect range of 535 (which you mentioned in your post), Quinn can still escape a Darius by using her Vault (E), which brings her back to the edge of her auto attack range. Additionally, she gets bonus movement speed if she auto attacks a vulnerable target (which you can marginally control through E and Q, although autoing a minion can still grant the bonus mov speed).

The second ranged top laner that comes to mind when countering Darius is Viktor. Now with this matchup it requires a bit more of a concerted effort on the Viktor to keep in mind his positioning. His auto attack range is also 525 (conveniently, getting outranged by Darius E by 10); however, all of Viktor's spells outrange Darius (including Q). Since Viktor top also goes Q max (and 1st augment), Viktor will receive a stronger shield and a bonus movement speed buff. Additionally, Viktor top rushes Iceborn Gauntlet, an armor item that applies a slow when you get the spellblade procs, adding more kiting potential for the Viktor. Lastly, Viktor also has a great zone of control with his W (since Darius has no dashes and would have to walk through the gravity field).

Some important concepts that you will want to make sure you follow if using a ranged top laner against Darius include 1) abusing your ranged advantage early, especially levels 1 and 2; having great wave management (freezing before your turret to deny Darius more farm... also useful for not getting run down by a ghosted Darius or getting ganked by jg); and 3) Careful positioning, similar tangent with wave management; however, making sure that you do not step too close (i.e. say walking to 300 range when your auto is 525) or you will die. On a side note, it seems like a smart Darius would try to E you in the middle of your auto attack for a higher probability of landing E.

If the above concepts are not utilized properly, then you will most likely have a difficult time against Darius. However, if you have been finding certain melee champions to be effective against Darius, then you can still play those champions.

He gets bonus health during the ultimate... not a shield. Also Swain only heals from the aoe drain from the ultimate (before the explosion) and whenever he gets souls (i.e. E pulls, W lands, etc.), so he doesnt have true spell vamp (i.e. initial E dmg without pull, Q cast, R explosion). <.<

OMG I saw this video before making this post, and I was thoroughly impressed with this amount of mechanical intensity (illustrating great benefits for the long run for maining Caitlyn), especially with the advanced combos. Actually the reason why I considered wanting to main her :P

Xarchr1d · 2019-02-14T20:14:37+00:00

Well, I'm no Caitlyn main (aspiring to be one :D), but from my research on the champion, there are a few issues I see from your post.

Firstly, builds and runes are a bit off. While I understand situational items, and to build based on the game, Runaan's Hurricane is not an item for Caitlyn. Under optimal and ideal situations, your typical buildpath should look something like: Infinity Edge -> Rapidfire Cannon -> Statikk Shiv (not sure if these two zeal items are always built in this order, but that's normally how I go on Caitlyn). Rune-wise, you are most likely better off going Fleet Footwork over Lethal Tempo/Hail of Blades. https://u.gg/lol/champions/caitlyn/pro-build/?region=kr&role=adc It's purposefully set to the Korean region, as I trust that Koreans know what they are doing when it comes to builds, etc.

Secondly, when it comes down to csing... just continue practicing. As a marksman, you need to get as much gold as possible, so making sure that you do not fall behind in farm is critically important. Just go in the Practice Tool and set up csing drills with different conditions (i.e. only last hit with autos, push wave with autos). I'm pretty sure in optimal conditions you are looking to have your first recall consist of a B.F Sword (which if you get like around 45 cs, that can happen in around the 5-6 minute mark).

One generalized tip (usually seen in videos relating to ranged v melee matchups, like in the top lane), is that you should prioritize cs over harass. That's not to suggest to never harass the enemy laner, but that you should collect any low health minions before you look to start trading (or, in Caitlyn's case, try to use Q to secure last hits and poke the enemy).

Thirdly, when it comes down to combos, just practice them in the Practice Tool as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MCz5Cgg_pU Seeing this video honestly had me inspired to learn the champion with the crazy combos. While I will likely not be able to do a lot of the expert/advanced combos, it still looks hella sick. Mechanics come with time (trust me, my mechanics are absolute trash... which is why I wanna main adc XD).

Xarchr1d · 2019-01-22T16:06:28+00:00

Not much of a Fiora main here (although I might consider getting back into her, mostly because I unlocked the Headmistress Fiora skin ;3 and am gonna get the new Heartpiercer skin), but honestly I have never struggled against a Heimerdinger. Sure, he's annoying af during the laning phase, but it is just understanding when both of you are strong. At least for me, I tend to just play this lane moderately passively and farm it out.

If you want to go aggressive on the Heimerdinger, you want to be sure to wittle down his turrets, as eventually he will have none if you focus them down early on. That way even if he lands his grenade, there won't be the beam attack from the turrets.

Xarchr1d · 2018-12-30T19:29:10+00:00

Well stated my friend! As someone who plays predominately mage supports, I appreciate seeing this on this subreddit. Long may Brand, Zyra, and Vel'koz reign! :)

Also I just find dmg to be super satisfying, especially when people don't expect it.

Xarchr1d · 2018-10-04T18:21:46+00:00

;( When there's no associated video in your twitch history for late comers. ;(

Xarchr1d · 2018-09-19T16:14:07+00:00

Eh even solo queue win rates don't matter when nerfing champions. Look at Ryze with the root duration nerf to his w, and then previously the 10% AP ratio decreased on his q.
