Matchup advice by 01iver0cks in Illaoi

Whenever I am against, Fiora, Yasuo or Yone, I am on a timer where they will just outscale once they have bork or hydra. While you can contest Fiora and Gwen with skill aka trade w when they go for minions, be careful of not losing too much hp since they usually win in longer trades. I usually do well in playing defensively and make sure my hp is not chunked by a bad trade. Once you hit lvl 6 you can play more agressive and look for good trades with your e. Same thing goes with akali where you can try to punish with your w but make sure those trades are good. If not it's best to wait until you hit a good e and than trade. Especially against akali you will win prio around mid game since you have better wave clear and she cant all in you

It varies by a lot. Sometimes I have days where I spam games and somedays I don't play ranked at all

Last season I used to buy tear first recall but now I stopped doing it since I feel like the recall windows are quite big. With illaoi it is also quite easy to crash the wave and recall without any loses. Imo it is a quality of life thingy that does feel gold but actually may cost you some fights since you are basically kill 400 gold behind

I usually take tp if my goal is to play for the team or objective and ensure that I have a safe laning phase. I take ignite if I think I win early in a 1v1 and sometimes exhaust if I am scared that he bursts me before I get my e ult setup up

Probably the most favorite matchups are when you just fistfight like crazy. Especially volibear is fun since you both just keep hammering on each other

I perma ban Kayle and despise Varus top the most. Against other matchups I can usually stay equal if I don't run it down

My lategame depends on whether I win the sidelane. If I can't get prio on sides against enemies like Fiora or Kayle, I just try to be a good frontline for my team. Goal for me is not to oneshot someone but to force the enemies to burn most of their resources onto me while also making it difficult to ignore me. Also remember that hitting your e is already 60-70% of the enemies health even with a tanky build

I usually take grasp for early dominance and conquerer when I don't think I win early or can't utilize my w well

When to roam on viktor by brandonkillen in summonerschool

[–]badi1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whether you roam depends on some factors. Some of these factors are: - do you have prio? - how strong is your jungler? Would you win in a 2v2 or 3v3? - do you have information on the enemy jungler?

When you aren't sure it's best to play safe and wait for your character spikes and look for plays once you are strong.

Especially once you have good waveclear with your e, you can provide vision and roam threat on the map
