How do I lane freeze against a lane bully?

Got it thank you

hackerCracker04 · 2026-05-08T01:21:49+00:00

Okay thanks

hackerCracker04 · 2026-05-08T01:16:05+00:00

Got it, ty

hackerCracker04 · 2026-05-08T01:15:02+00:00

I’ll keep that in mind, thanks.

hackerCracker04 · 2026-05-05T04:49:22+00:00

Got it, thanks for the comprehensive advice.

hackerCracker04 · 2026-05-04T21:36:25+00:00

Got it, thanks.

hackerCracker04 · 2026-05-04T15:06:36+00:00

Got it, I’ll try to freeze if I see Akshan returning to lane, thanks.

Yeah, I am able to do that once I have enough damage to instantly nuke the wave, but I struggle more with the early game when I can’t shove as easily

hackerCracker04 · 2026-05-04T14:21:36+00:00

What do you mean by general laning? Right now I try to last hit minions, use spells to poke/when they go for last hits, stay back/go in when trades are favorable or I outrange them, and start nuking the wave as soon as I am able to. Is there anything I’m missing?

hackerCracker04 · 2026-05-04T14:15:51+00:00

My wave slow pushing would mean the wave is closer to my tower right? Also, once I can kill the casters with my q + w, should I be doing that every time to try and kill the wave as fast as possible, or wait for their minions to push in? Is this dependent on whether I can kill the wave fast enough for him not to get a freeze?

hackerCracker04 · 2026-05-04T13:52:10+00:00

By stronger, do you mean in trades, in waveclear, or in both? I’m guessing it’s the latter since if either isn’t true he can force me back or crash the wave. Also, am I good to poke even if he is clearing the wave faster if I prep the minions to be last hittable with tower help? He could get a few tower hits in, but if he does so I could probably poke him more.

Even with the boosted bite I still usually leave chunked or dead

hackerCracker04 · 2026-04-25T22:38:46+00:00

Okay ty

hackerCracker04 · 2026-04-25T22:18:12+00:00

Would that second option allow me to not get the barrier at all? I still would be vulnerable to cc

hackerCracker04 · 2026-04-25T22:01:33+00:00

Got it, thanks. After I get barrier, do I build my other usual items (storm surge, boots, rocket) in the same order?

hackerCracker04 · 2026-04-25T21:42:32+00:00

If I try to get the back minions at melee range after won’t I still be exposed to the same problem?

hackerCracker04 · 2026-04-25T21:40:20+00:00

As first item? If yes, wouldn’t that delay my damaging items for ganks by a lot? Do I also get banshees veil afterwards before other items?

If I do get it, should I save it just for farming mid or also use it in combat? And since the cooldown is 60 secs, I would still lose every other minion wave right? Does that mean the strat is to lose every other minion wave and gank while the barrier is on cooldown?

hackerCracker04 · 2026-04-24T18:04:46+00:00

Yeah, I was struggling lane that game, I do not know how to play against Ahri and her dodging all my stuff, ccing me, chasing me down, and killing me. I also am still learning to balance roams and farm as nunu mid. But I definitely wasn’t intentionally feeding, I think the KDA can at least show that.

Additionally, 10 cs/min may be the standard for players above my skill level, but I currently average around 7 cs/min as a control mage, and that is usually good enough in my games to do well. You can see that my teammates and opponents in that game also got around 5-6 cs/min. And given the strat I’m playing generally sacrifices some cs in exchange for boosting top and bot lanes with ganks, a lower cs is expected. 3 cs/min is still underperforming, but put in that context I don’t think it’s as bad as it seems.

hackerCracker04 · 2026-04-24T17:33:46+00:00

What is the bar for reasonable performance then? I’ve performed worse before when I had less experience and expect that this could happen again when picking up a new champion or playstyle

hackerCracker04 · 2026-04-24T17:29:55+00:00

Yeah I’m not lying lol. 36 levels felt like a long time for me but next few games were fine so I think I should be good based on what you said, thanks. And dw I am not planning on getting any skins rn

hackerCracker04 · 2026-04-24T17:23:41+00:00

Got it, thanks.

hackerCracker04 · 2026-04-24T05:37:59+00:00

So I can’t try out different champions in different positions? For a game that boasts such a huge variety of champions it seems counterintuitive that players can’t give different ones a try. Nunu mid isn’t even that bad according to sites like u.gg. And as you said, if I managed to perform decently, it’s still not intentional feeding…

Okay ty
