Let's see. About two weeks ago he found out that kennen can use his Q while in lightning rush. And that's one of his mains.
Like, how am I suppose to know this. He can't auto attack during his lightning rush, so why even try to throw a Q? The only reason I figured it out cause I was really determined to steal that kill from <idk who>.

Dphat trying to hold that plat as long as possible. He won't be hitting solo/duo queue until almost a month has passed and he risks decay :p

Akali would get ***** I think, but what do I know.
I would have to agree with this, even though I haven't played it. But judging off of my previous experience...Nid will just amass way too much HP for Akali to burst down.

Pre6, I'd have the advantage, at 6 I'd have the advantage, and then once she gets wriggles I'm basically stuck until I get Gunblade or Rylais...and even then I'd have to get some damage on her first or else I'll be burning everything I have just to kill her.

I guess using shroud/brush I could manage to go even in the lane at that point, I suppose...but it does seem like it would be a losing battle.

So, evidently Sion has some crazy glitch with Guinsoo's Rageblade wherin he can gain 2.5 attack speed without having the item.

Somehow a Sion abused this an still managed to feed and lose the game, despite having an automatic BF sword + the other BF he had and a vamp sceptre.

You can use the rest of your skills while in the dash. why not q? O.o

Irelia barely wins vs. Wriggle's -> Atmog's Nidalee. And like, I dunno, maybe it was just misplays the last time I played it, but it didn't feel like I could spec properly against her damage or outsustain her the last time I played it.
start cloth and pots. rank W over everything else. farm early on. get a phage quickly. To harass, E->W->autoattack as much as you can->Q->autoattack a lot. you do that combo once at like level 7 or something and you've got her to about 1/3 health and she's gotta heal it all up before going back in.

Lots of irelias start off trades with Q->E and I just E->Q them during/after the slow/stun, and jump away in cougar, taking just a couple autoattacks. If you open up with E you can get one autoattack in, force the pounce away, and then jump up to her and let phage procs and W do the work.

Yes, Irelia's E has less range than her autoattacks, but you can force her to autoattack once, then back away, then go back in and autoattack, etc while you're just healing up with W. Not to mention you can Q to a creep with low health, and then do the combo.


I don't believe you vs. Cait and MF. Sustain too hard.
Caitlyn's range and traps is why. It's just too hard to trade hits with her when you can't use bushes. I can show you why it's so terrible if you want. It's pretty depressing. o.o

Akali would get ***** I think, but what do I know.
Before the nerfs to her, you beat Akali by zoning her real hard in the beginning, which is pretty risky if you're running flash/teleport instead of 2 escapes. If she gets a decent amount of CS, even if she loses in farm early on, she's gonna trade a ton better at 6 and just outdamage her sustain.

Yorrick wouldn't win. Nidalee's real sustain. Yorrick loses to real sustain because he needs to dump his spells on people and if they just don't care about it, they can just stand there and fight him and while that happens, he misses CS because ghouls just fight champions and don't get CS for him. That's my experience of Yorrick vs. Irelia/Udyr/WW anyway and I don't see how tank/AD Nidalee is any different.
Nidalee DOES care about harass. It's not like she can just shrug off good champs' harass anymore. If she's autoattacking Yorick while a ghoul is hitting her she's gonna get ***** by it. E+W in the beginning is going to do half her life if she doesnt run. She'll use a ton of mana by just taking it and autoattacking back every time Yorick uses a spell.


And I've played all these matchups a ton on both sides, always beating the Nidalee, and taking advantage of ppl that arent playing it right when I'm nid.

Yeah Yorick vs Nidalee is fine as long as you get tear/manamune. If Yorick had to REALLY worry about his mana, he would get ***** over time and once he runs out he's ****ed. But you can space out spells enough to not run out of mana too quickly, while keeping Nid from sustaining effectively herself. You end up either both using the same mana to sustain/harass, which favors you with better mana pool/regen, or you get a lead early on and she can't do anything about it. Pre 6 damage wise she just can't keep up with Yorick, so trading is out of the question. Once both of them hit 6, she gets to walk around in Cougar while he gets to be a ****** with tear. Fairly evenish, but easier gameplay on the Yorick side cause of spell range.

It can also be hard for her to pin him down. If she jumps on you, applying slow + hitting her with Q gets you a fair distance away from her assuming she pounced in.

How can you compare yourself to Andross now that you indeed do have vastly superior taste?

Just bought a new laptop :D.

Back @AA though (no one replied seriously to you :()
If you know the basics of the game, you'll have a good idea of how to play and will likely outdo people you initially play against, resulting in you gaining a higher elo in which you'll be playing against other low levelled players with 'similar skill' (in theory).

Masteries and Rune pages, which require being level 30 to get the most out of them is a large facet of the game and you'll be feeling quite inefficient (compared to otherwise) at lower levels in many areas. Use masteries, but don't try to throw your ahead around rune page set ups (which you can't even have full rune books until you're 30) until you're at least close to level 20 (go ahead and buy tier 1 cheapy runes though).

I await the forsaken day in which there are 5 enemies alive, and we just got aced
BUT ALAS
A KARTHUS ULT BECKONS ITS HEAD OVER THE HORIZON OF THE DEAD.

"ENEMY PENTA KILL" they will cry.
And then Karthus with his like -90% death time will just come out of no where and take the nexus.

I once saw a Mordekaiser land a triple from the grave with his shield on a creep.
