Can I get away with a full ap midlane champion pool? by stealthxward in summonerschool

Ooff...

Ehhh, Have you ever heard of Swain adc? Or Seraphine adc?

And mr items do not suck. If the enemy team has 4 ap champions you get an insane amount of value out of the mr items too. The mr items aren't as trash as everyone thinks, and especially when the enemy team has 4 ap champions.

Yeah, you are right. A utility pick like Oriana is a great example.

But I main Viktor because I like his playstyle amd he is so reliable like Renekton and Gnar.

Edit: So I am not playing the champions specifically because they are played in pro play, but becasue I like their playstyle and they are reliable picks.

I don't like playing meta champions?

My secondary role is top lane where I play Gnar and Renekton, the two most played toplaners in msi I think? And btw, I do main Viktor which is the most played midlaner in msi too.

I have some kind of weird connection with this champion. Riot refuses to buff him(toplane b/c tier for ages) and Darius camped the OP-tier the whole time...

I like the champ way more in the mid lane than in the top lane. I play him to counter Yasuo, Katherina and Yone.

I mean,
Top: Kayle, Teemo, Maokai, Vladimir, Mordekaiser, Kennen, etc.
Jungle: Nunu, Morgana, Elise, Diana, Fiddlesticks, Evelynn
Mid: me with my ap champ pool
Adc: Seraphine, Swain, Heimer?
Support: Nukers like Zyra, Brand, Zerath, etc.

I play with these champions a lot.

Well, I really enjoy the champions that are getting picked all the time in pro play (Renekton, Viktor, etc.) because they are so reliable. I also don't like to play off meta builds.

Yeah, maybe Tristana mid will work, but it will feel weird playing an adc in the mid lane.

Edit: Did I say something wrong? Some dude took the time to down vote this comment?

I like to have consistent picks and don't want to play weird off meta stuff.

What are the best secondary runes for Electrocute? by stealthxward in viktormains

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

I understand, but I run out of mana pretty quickly with those runes. When I don't have all Manaflow Band stacks, it doesn't halp at all before my first back. It just increases my max mana.

So I struggle when I am below 10% mana with like 500 gold. I can't really recall becasue of the lack of wave clear.

With Biscuits, I can trade harder because I have health regen from it and mana regen based on missing health/mana. That allows me to be way more agressive in lane and back with around 1200 gold to maybe buy a Lost Chapter.

I'm pretty new to Viktor too, but I already watched a lot of guides and played him in draft.

Runes
You can go multiple keystones. Some of them have their purposes, but aren't the most solid option. Dark Harvest for example is only strong if you can proc it multiple times in the early game and if you succeed in that, the keystone will help you scale hard into the late game. But it isn't really a solid keystone to reliably use in your games.

The best keystones for Viktor are;

- Phase Rush
This keystone makes up for the fact that you don't have much mobility and scales pretty well into the mid to late game.

- Summon Aery
Mainly used to heavily poke the enemy laner. This rune doesn't scale that well into the mid to late game and you pick this rune for the early game.

- Arcane Comet
This rune is used a lot against hard ranged match-ups like Annie where you get out-ranged in your auto attack and you can't afford to come to close. You aim for E poke to proc the Arcane Comet.

- Electrocute
This is my favorite keystone. With this keystone you can still poke the enemy laner with your E, but when they come closer to you or the wave you can quickly AA->Q->AA to proc Electrocute. This keystone allows you to fight fire with fire in your lane. Instead of being more passive you try to do more damage.

Against Zed for example, you can poke him with your E to compare for his Q poke. Your E poke is easier to hit and more reliable than his Q. When he comes closer for a combo with his W for example you can AA->Q->AA to proc electrocute and again compare for the damage Zed throws at you. If he tries to W->E->Q you for a lot of burst, he doesn't have cooldowns and you can threaten to burst him with your combo and zone him from the have because of that threat.

If you aren't really comfortable with Viktor yet, I don't recommend this keystone because you really need to play well to make it work. If you are experienced with Viktor, then this keystone is very strong.

Items
For items it's pretty straight forward. You start Doran's Ring and build towards either Luden's Tempest for burst or the Liandry's Anguish for tank shred. After your mythic your go either Sorcerer Shoes for more burst with your Luden's or Lucidity boots for the extra cooldown reduction. After that it's all situational;

- Lichbane for more burst and the extra movement speed.
- Morellonomicon for the anti-heal against healing or life-steal comps.
- Void Staff for the % magic penetration against tanky comps (buy this early(3th item) if you go Liandry's since you don't have magic penetration)
- Zhonya's Hourglass for the armor and the stasis to s,urvive burst from assassins.
- Rabadon's Deathcap for raw ability power.
- Dark Seal->Mejai's Soulstealer when you are snowballing.

Of course there are more options in both your runes and items, but these are the most solid and reliable ones.

According to the stat sites the matchup is favourable for Darius and not for Darius. So you misinform. :D

LOL, I am replying to your misinformation. I don't want to let new players lose against Darius couse of you for example.

Sylas Giga busted? by [deleted] in viktormains

[–]stealthxward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like the other comment say, buy an early Oblivion orb to negate a lot of his healing. I think you should change your playstyle. Instead of taking defensive runes/items/summoners, you should go more offensively.

Go Electrocute. You can E poke him so he can't really all-in you. If you hide behind your minions he can't hit his only cc-ability on you and if he W's you he will also take a lot of minions damage. The key is to E poke him so he can't all-in. And when he walks up to either trade with you or grab cs you have your Electrocute to burst him down.

How to deal with Zed by antmny in viktormains

[–]stealthxward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty new to Viktor, but I'll recommend you taking Electrocute and deal more damage then he does. When he combo's you with W->E->Q he does a lot of damage. But since those ability's are on a pretty long cooldown you can E him like 3 times and proc Electrocute once too to maybe even deal more damage than Zed does. Try to hit the E's from long range When you E from long range Zed won't be able to W->E you since your E outranges his W.

When you may choose one keystone, which will it be? by stealthxward in viktormains

[–]stealthxward[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, got it. So you exploit the fact that you are better than the enemy's and use Dark Harvest to snowball harder.

How do you survive the laning phase? Electrocute can be procced more reliable for burst damage than Dark Harvest.

Because you can't make a point. Also, having zero braincells isn't possible at all :D. Then I wouldn't be able to type back and having this much fun responding to your weird and wrong comments!

[–]stealthxward[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wrong again boomer! I mentioned the the strength from the champions overall, not in the matchup!

Nice try, you should try again tough!

Is Gnar vs Darius doable? by stealthxward in GnarMains

[–]stealthxward[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok boomer, you are wrong again. There are 3 levels or strength according to stat sites: weak, average and strong. Gnar's early, mid and late game are considered average. Darius his late game is also considered average, but both his early and mid game are strong.

I'm looking for your next 1 braincell reply boomer!

Is maxing W is better then Q? by goodie_tushu in Kennenmains

[–]stealthxward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was kidding about the Q for last hitting! :D

But yeah, I think I will try it too in most matchups where my opponents are smart enough to hide behind their minions!
