what about split push?

 

[DallasPhat]

So you want your support to split push? Do you even know when split pushing is effective? Split pushing only works when the enemy team can't 1v1 a champion with fast wave clear and your team is able to defend objectives 4v4/5. So having your weakest champion(the support) to split sounds awful.
Well split pushing can also be used defensively to minimize loses but that's difficult to explain and to much of a hassle to write out on my phone.

just thought I'd share for those who haven't seen it yet

So are there any real problems to Cass aside from being hard to play optimally?
I've been playing her lately, and she just dominates so many lanes. She certainly has some counters, but you just don't pick her there obviously. In an even matchup lane matchup she likely outscales who your up against. Lategame she gets Ashe level kiting, and she can get Ryze level tankiness/damage. So does it really just come down to her difficulty or is there other reasons to why we don't see people playing her?

Lack of mobility and unreliable cc i would imagine. Its also hard to be a squishy-ish target who has to stay relatively close to targets to do damage with assassins like zed/kha/elise/kass running around.

 

[Plum]

A lategame Cass is hardly squishy. You can go a ton of build paths on her, like RoA + Seraph's similar to Karthas or Ryze, obviously Rylai's is a staple item on her, and of course Zhonya's is fantastic on any mage, and even Spirit of the Spectral Wraith is pretty strong on her with E having full spell vamp now. She can easily hit 3k health with some decent resists to boot, and still be dealing 400+ before resists on her E every .5 seconds.

Mobility I would agree with, but that certainly doesn't stop characters like Rumble, Ryze, Karthas, etc. from being played.

 

[Niko45]

I don't think anything is particularly wrong with her, just that other champs can achieve as much/more while being wayyyy more faceroll to play. Same goes for lots of unpopular APs honestly.

She's also kinda half-AOE, half single target DPS, and I think in terms of organized non solo-queue league of legends teams pick mages to be solidly either assassin/roamers or full blown AOE.

 

[Kuro~]

lissandra and orianna do everything she can do but better.


EXCEPT jungle objectives. cass shreds those as fast as karthus.

 

[bassem6]

I would disagree. Liss and orianna grant more cc and utility respectively whereas cass provides a ton of sustained single target dps with a bit of cc/aoe. She is similar to ryze but ryze is way more forgiving and easy to use optimally and he becomes tankier late game. The trade off is that his laning phase is a lot crappier vs more champs whereas cass is one of the strongest laners imo

 

[Kuro~]

i was more referring to the fact that they're both good in skirmishes or teamfights and strong cc team initiation but they pulll it off easier/more effectively because of the utility aspects of their kit.

I do agree cass does more dmg. It's just harder to utilize effectively in my opinion.


Like imagine if cassi had a dash...

omg

[Ussi]

At least he didn't get the wraiths after acing the enemy team

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

How does gain or loss of LP work in ranked in terms of number gained or lost?

 

[Z'zgashi]

MMR

 

[Sinister Slush]

If you gain a lot, you probably deserve higher division/league. If low amount of points, you deserve that place or somewhere near there.

 

[Kuro~]

How ppl still don't understand rengar i don't understand. I'm tired of all these toplaners giving me 11/0 rengars to deal with as adc.

 

[Player-3]

well i just watched EG vs NiP


lol europe

 

[Niko45]

Saint is a god that was not his fault it never is.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

Jungle Karmas, Jungle Karmas everywhere.

 

[KuroganeHammer]

jungle karma is op, she stays healthy and her ganks and clear speed are infinite lulz.

Jungle Quinn is also really fun.

Edit: oh was it done in the lcs? lawl.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

Yup was done at LCS, lol.

 

[Ussi]

Who used jungle Karma?

 

[Hot_ArmS]

diamond, got *****

?????
How does she stay healthy, how does she have passable clear speed? Her W doesn't work on jungle monsters, and E only does damage if she mantras.
I can see jungle quinn possibly working though, about as well as other marksman junglers.

 

[KuroganeHammer]

I use lifesteal quints, and spec into util for most of my junglers

lifesteal + shield = lol

q being on like

a 3 second cooldown

makes her clear ok

 

[Player-3]

lifesteal quints on karma


waet

 

[KevinM]

Dphat stop inviting me to play when I don't have time too I miss you .

Also idk why more people don't just use Xerath.

You right

 

[Zero_Gamer]

100% of the games I encounter a Xerath on the enemy results in a loss.

Troo nvm

 

[Sinister Slush]

I started using xerath again a month back after another few months of not using him. (I think when the rework was first announced), I won a lot of my normals and ranked games. Any games I lost was just other lanes not doing so hot.

he's okay, still boring cause only feels fun when you have your ult active.
