I wanna go top vs. an Aatrox. He doesn't seem as good as I had originally thought.

He's terrible between 1-5

Then he turns 6 and turns into a stupid duelist.

Then again, I've only laned against him once and I was Mordekaiser. So...

 

[Soft Serve]

Medeos killed his kda and that baserace, damn.

 

[MrEh]

Made this to pass the time. Still working out the kinks with some funnier new mods.

Remember when double golems was as much xp as a buff ? (i.e. level 2)

Good times, good times.

RIP taking golems and level 2 ganking.

 

[Z'zgashi]

Aatrox is a stupid champ. Too much sustain, buying Ex Call now.

Ignite... lol.

Honestly, Aatrox sucks bad if you just ignite him. He just immediately melts when as soon as the focus moves to him and you drop ignite on him. I havent even seen a single Aatrox win yet and Ive been in 5 games with one since every time Aatrox does good in a fight I just direct the people with ignite to use it on him in fights.

 

[KuroganeHammer]

I dunno! I'm always scared to use my summoners, lol.

He's just so scary, but the people who use him seem to go either 15/0 or 0/15.

There's no inbetween. D:

 

[Soft Serve]

Dont all champs on release do that though? like, people still haven't optimized quinn and lissandra play yet.

 

[KuroganeHammer]

Oh yeah!

remember when people thought Kha'Zix was bad?

lawl.

 

[Z'zgashi]

The bet score Ive seen an Aatrox get so far is 8/6, but he lost.

 

[Asdioh]

Does Grievous Wounds affect his passive? He becomes untargetable during it, like Zhonyas or something, so I kind of figured it wouldn't. I can handle the rest of his kit (though it's horribly uninspired and boring) but the existence of yet another anti-death passive pisses me off.

 

[Z'zgashi]

I dont think so, but when his passive comes up he loses his blood well stacks meaning hes weaker anyway, so its not that hard to kill him again.

 

[Sinister Slush]

aren't you like bronze, gashi?
Also saying ignite counters doesn't instantly means that'll kill him indefinitely. It isn't the case for Vlad Mundo etc. all the time but it still does hurt.

 

[Z'zgashi]

My main is at its Bronze 1 promotion cuz placement op and put me in Bronze 4, but got up in like 15 games lol.

Ive been mostly playing on my smurf though which didnt get gayed in placement and is at Gold 4 atm.

 

[Zano]

Every single Aatrox I've seen has been jungle, seems better there than in lane.

 

[Shaya]

He seems to do really well early in every game I've seen then just... screams useless from mid game-ish onwards.

^ Pretty much this. He has good ganks/clear speed in jungle and seems to do good in lane, but as soon as team fights start happening he starts falling off and becomes either too easy to kill or doesnt do enough damage.

 

[Player-3]

Aatrox Garbo until 6 items

 

[Coney]

can't he just operate like tryndamere tho

as in, get scepter/tiamat/shiv/whatever and just shove top forever and 1v1 anyone if they come

idk that kind of play is thriving right now in solo q and aatrox seems like he fits it just fine

 

[Aggressive Mediation]

Haven't tested Aatrox yet, gonna try him in the jungle. He seems like a weaker Xin there, but I'm reserving judgment. One hasn't won against me yet either.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

I go into ranked, someone posts an elophant profile for our group.

Everyone mains support then seconds ADC

Welp.

 

[Player-3]

he could if he had the capability to 1v1 any half-decent champion in the game coney

 

[teluoborg]

Isn't that just because people haven't figured his item build yet ?

 

[Zano]

I really like this champ so it's w/e to me. I bought his bundle cause I had rp that someone gave me a while back.

 

[Wave⁂]

Isn't that just because people haven't figured his item build yet ?

The bigger problem is that Aatrox probably doesn't have one single "best build". If he's built as a lifesteal tank (which is what I've heard gives the best results), you'll need to build reactively according to the enemy team's damage, CC, who's doing how much damage, whatever.

 

[SuperBowser]

yay found a new troll champion.​

​

ad kennen top lane. defense boots, statik shiv, botrk, last whisper, warmogs.​

​

got a 70% win rate (20 matches) in my platinum games so far.​

 

[Soft Serve]

Most Kennens start with double doran's blade anyway for lane dominance, and then transition into zhonyas/magpen boots/liadries. I would think Ap kennen provides more to the team that ad kennen because he can stand in the middle of the teamfight without blowing up with zhonyas.

Bruiser ad kennen sounds interesting.

 

[Leacero]

AD Nidalee + Soraka bot lane is a powerhouse.

Try it with your friends!

Bruiser ad kennen sounds interesting.

it's similar to top lane nunu. other than ryze (dat snare), i have crushed everything on top lane that i've met, even if i'm camped by the jungler. i guess part of the advantage is that nobody has experience against bruiser kennen.

i've generally dealt the most or second most damage in my matches. ad kennen is versatile. he has high mobility, can split push, handle 1v1s and 2v1s and can still insta gib mages and ad carries in big fights, so remains a threat lategame.

 

[ToferTheHuman]

I have been out of the game for a while and wanted to know where is Zac better Jungle or Top?
And also, what his builds look like.

 

[MrEh]

He can do both actually. Build cheap stuff like Aegis and Locket to help your team if you're a jungler. Can build crazier stuff like Liandrys if you're a top (or fed).

Other tank items like Sunfire are fine too, considering that all Zac does is hump people to death.

 

[Player-3]

that feel when you win solo q because enemy ezreal sells all his items and stacks triforce

 

[Plum]

Yesterday I lost each of the three games I played.
Woke up early today, got in six games before work, and won every game.
Sometimes this game makes you hate it, other times you just have too much fun.

 

[Sinister Slush]

League Solo Q really is a Coin flip.

 

[Boofy!]

Zac new favorite champ, went 15-0-24 in ranked then got a Zhonyas just to style on em during my ult. So much fun and he's not a super boring champ personality wise.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

For all the talk of Nami being mediocre, she seems to be doing pretty well right now.

 

[Sinister Slush]

After buffing her 6 or 7 times in the span of probably 10 patches, she's finally useful. Thank goodness.

 

[Soft Serve]

She got buffed in practically every patch the last few months, the most notable being the visual quality of life on her e, increased bubble stun to 1.5 seconds, attack missile speed increased to 1500, and her inclusion in the massive support ult cooldown reduction.

She was average before the patches, great after the buffs, and she is really shining now because pretty much all the other support options took big hits. She is slightly better than she was on release, but she is buffed by comparison to all the other supports.

She was my favorite and best support before all the buffs so I really appreciate them, I hope Riot doesn't decide they went too far with them and revert some. I really feel she is in a perfect spot right now. High-ish skill cap for a support (Bubbles man, same travel time no matter where you aim it sucks), requires coordination with her adc to really capitalize on using her e in lane to harass, amazing initiation and counter initiation. Junglers love nami too, makes bot lane easy to gank if she can land bubbles.

 

[DallasPhat]

Ugh nami and cait so ****ing annoying, knock up to trap is very fun or you know trap bubble trap lol.

 

[Soft Serve]

Nami urgot man. like 6 seconds where the adc cant do ****.

 

[CRASHiC]

The buffs were nice but its the nerfs to the other supports that make her shine.
That and having a positive matchup against Thresh is super important right now.
