I realized yesterday that my last hitting is absolutely awful. Do I practice just going into bot games with an AD carry and last hitting or should I mix it up with different champs to get a feel for different attack animations?

Practice with champions you like to use and play.

I was trying out AD Kennen yesterday, even with attack speed runes his auto animation was so weird to get used to bot lane. It was really strange because I do fine last hitting as ap Kennen mid or top, but bot ad I felt really uncomfortable with him for a while.

I feel like it's really the projectile speed that messes me up with him, his animation cancel takes longer than most other ad carries.

Yesterday I went Mid vs Veigar as annie

built a Moonflair spellblade after being up 4-0 (killed vieg twice and Vlad who was top lane against Gangplank twice)

is that item even worth it? I mean I build a deathcap before I finished it but I did get both around 23 minutes.

WE STILL LOST THAT GAME THO because our graves keep DCing but even so I feel like I should've been able to carry that game.....

I have the replay if anyone wants to critique my mid/late gameplay because honestly after lane phase I think I (as a player) just start to fall off...I feel like I don't really know where I'm supposed to be.

good lord no. the only non-merc tenacity item that's worth even considering is miracle, and it's been like, a solid 6 months since I've even bought that.

LMAO damn. definitely thought that was a good idea. got me.

either way I end up goinf from like 7-1-2 to like 8-7-15 because Lee Sin and gangplank never wanted to go in so I always had to start the team fights. sucks man.

Pick one champion and play normal games. Bot games don't help your ability to last hit under tower or under harass.

Hey guys, thanks for all the responses! Just one thing I feel the need to clarify on my end though:


(assuming soloq)

Don't assume anyone is worse or better than you until you're able to look at everything from a more objective point of view (when you get tons of experience and pretty much know all the numbers on everything). HOWEVER, the better you get, the better you'll be able to judge. So...
Yeah, for this part I was mostly talking about premade teams with players I play with all the time. In solo queue I find that ADs, whether they're better or worse than me, are usually close enough to my skill level that I can figure out how to best help them win.

On that note, does anyone else wish Riot would separate solo queue ranked stats from arranged 5s from arranged 3s? So many of my support ranked stats are from 5s, and I wonder what my support record is like in solo queue...

Just keep playing the champion you wanna play. You'll eventually get used to their AA animations and that's when you start last hitting better. I usually mess up my cs a lot when I play a new character, even if they have a decent AA animation. For instance I used to be *** at last-hitting with TF, but then I played him enough that I can consistently do that now.

Also you should prob just play with friends if you keep getting called out of the lane you want to play on. I don't really like playing with randoms most of the time because they'll usually fight over the solo lanes cause no one likes bottom rofl (especially annoying in normal draft mode since it prioritizes premades and so you'll almost always get 4th/5th pick and usually having to resort to support).

Got my first penta yesterday, first game as Irelia (well, no, but first game I played after buying her)

It was like a movie, everyone escaped with 100 health and then Q>Q>Q>Q>1v1 with yi until he tries to run>Q

I have friends with, like, half my games played with pentas, and I've gotten several that didn't have the whole bombast (PENTAKILLLLLLLLLL) with Corki and ****, so it was a pretty big deal.

I love how when there's a penta incoming EVERYONE on your team does EVERYTHING they can to back off and let you have it

usually.

1 time I accidentally stole a penta from a rumble on my team BY AUTOATTACKING A SKARNER WITH SORAKA.

They should change lifesteal/spell vamp so that it factors in not just damage dealt, but how much health the target has. If you crit a minion for 300, but it only had 50 health, why should you lifesteal 300 instead of 50? That helps balance out both stats

Wouldn't even have to change it for champions, just change how much you can get back from minions. If a minion is about to die, and you last hit it, lifesteal should only take into account what that minion's health was, not derp you hit for 200 when it's at 10, here's the full gift.

That's not how lifelink works in magic the gathering, bobby, so no.

From a balance perspective it should be that way.

Why? What about lifestealing off of low HP creeps has proven problematic to balance? You're just saying this without actually talking about how this is going to help at all. What about the ****heads who just 2 shot waves with a WotA and get all their HP back? These are the most problematic cases anyway, yet with your suggestion, they get relatively buffed copared to people who just spellvamp off single target last hitting spells. You're not really thinking things out from a balance perspective as far as I can tell.

so I'm thinkin I should probably just stick to mid until I get to like 1400 because I can't seem to get that "carry" role anywhere else

is there anybody I should be trying learn? because as of now I only really use Annie Kennen and Orianna ranked Mid...(and I usually play kennen more top than mid anyway)
