How the hell do you play vs mel

I swear this champ has to hit you once with just part of her ability to kill you, she throws her Q and even if you dodge the entire thing just the initial part is enough to take 25% of your HP, then theres her E, if you just get hit by the edge you get slowed and hit by her full Q, killing you if she has ult, why does this champ even have the root in her E if she doesnt need it to 100-0 someone, the only time you can win is if you dodge everything and dont let her hit anything, what other champ is this broken, her reflect doesnt even matter, she could have it removed and only have 2 basic abilitys and she would still be impossible to play vs. So is there like a secret formula other than just hoping mel cant click Q on me?

Riot does not care about junglers

I don’t play jungle but thought I would share my story about my past few games and how obvious it is that riot doesn’t care about junglers. Played 2 games both had a trolling teammate, first game was my adc who came mid and tried his hardest to steal my cs, second was a yoke top laner who was taking every jungle camp. Guess who in those games actually got punished for trolling (hint it wasn’t the yone), so even though the tristana did considerably better on the first game even with stealing my cs and was killing enemy’s, the yone in the 2nd game who stole all the jungle camps and was trying to run it down, did not receive any punishment. Good luck to the jungle mains riot doesn’t not have your back.

Anywhere to learn matchups?

I’m really struggling to learn matchups, I almost always lose lane and have to make it up with some triple kills in the mid game. The only matchups I can confidently win are naafiri and lissandre. Is there any resources to help me learn matchups or do I just need to spam more games?

Nilah is just a bad design

I have played Nilah for around 300 ranked games, and I have been thinking why did riot add her. I know they wanted a melee ADC but it’s so forced, they had to add so many things in her kit to force her to build and play in the ADC role, for example her passive requires another person be with her and the crit scaling on her Q making it so you have to build crit with no other build variety. All to just make her play botlane. Also adding an ability to block auto attacks just so she can fight ADC’s. This isn’t a kit that’s good for playing as an ADC it’s a kit that forces her to play as an ADC, they made such a prison of a kit just so she isn’t able to play in other lanes just seems like bad design philosophy. Not that this will ever change of course just wanted to share my views on it.

Should I stop playing kai’sa?

I think I’m just bad on her this ranked season I have a 49% winrate I also have 759,900 mastery points on her but only just reached mastery 50. Compared to when I played Nilah and had a 55% winrate. I’m thinking of just quitting ADC as I don’t actually like back to front fighting so I don’t like playing any other adc. Should I just try to improve more or is this champ just not for me

New to Orianna

Just wanted to ask a few questions as I’m new, is it a good idea to bait the enemy into fighting you once their low enough, I’m mostly talking about melee and shorter range mages like lissandre and sylas. Like is it fine to walk into their threat range so you can get them with a Q W and then also more autos with your E damage aswell or is it just safer to continue to poke them down with just Q.

Vs champs who want to close the distance on you is it safer to keep the wave under your tower so you can make use of ult to pull them under tower and potentially kill them or is it a better idea to make use of a greater range and just push waves?

As a control mage is their anytime it’s good to roam? Or is there not enough value and just should focus on neutral objectives.

Best gear for DoG infernum as a summoner?

Been trying to beat the DoG, sorry I can’t remember the names of the summons I use but, it’s the twin dragons and then also the family of skeleton dragons and then the summon from old duke. I’m using the infernum wipe you get from the boss they add, iv been struggling to beat it as I feel my damage is too low, I have to fall about 6 times from the sky to the ground before I get through one stage , I am also using the blood flare amour. Should I dig down to the underworld to make more room for me to fall and ram dash through him or is there an easier way?

Could I get to emerald in 200 hours?

I am currently silver/gold playing adc but I want to switch to mid to play ahri and Orianna. I went to get to emerald in 200 hours of game time to match my friend who is emerald and has 200 hours more, do you guys think this is possible to do this and learn a new lane.

Edit: forget to mention I have 1500 hours total and about mastery 6 in both ahri and Orianna

Just figured out I don’t like ADC

It has taken me almost 600 hours to realise I don’t actually enjoy playing the ADC role, probably could of realised this sooner by the fact my favourite ADC’s where Nilah and kai’sa and I heavily disliked playing any other ADC. So after this life changing discovery I have decided to start playing mages in mid lane. Think only reason I was playing ADC was because I liked having to position well but that was it, hated back to front fights. So thinking of playing Orianna to match the importance of positioning.

How bad is Orianna at climbing?

I really like Orianna and I would like to play her in ranked but I am low elo and I know she is one of the worst champs to play in low elo due to being a control mage and being pro jailed. Would it still be possible or would it be unrealistic?

Problem with mages being able to go in bot lane.

The main reason I see that mages are winning more in bot lane then mid is not because they play vs ADC’s. In mid lane it’s a solo lane where if they use an ability the enemy laner has the chance to use the cd to make a play with no more risk other than ganks, however In bot lane they can use abilities without needing to worry about the cool downs being taken advantage of because the support will still have there’s. For example if you were to play vs lux or Mel in mid lane if they were to miss there Q and E respectively, you would have the chance to punish them for missing those key abilities. However In botlane they cannot be punished because there is another champion with their key abilities available. If a lux misses her Q you cannot take advantage of that because the support most likely still has their cc up or peel tools available leading to no consequences for the lux. This leads to a lane where you are basically just waiting for them to luckily use their key abilities at the same time miss and also then be in range for you to all in them. Which just doesn’t happen until team fights.

Playing much worse after ranking up?

I seem to have a problem of playing extremely worse immediately after ranking up, twice now I have had a win streak of me getting over 20 kills per game for 10 or more games to get to gold and then immediately go 0/15 the next 3 games. I thought that was a fluke but it has happened again am I just subconsciously becoming over confident just because my rank went up?

Kai’sa in other lanes?

Why is the standers build for top and mid full ap? Why wouldn’t the normal on-hit adc build work I know the ap build has a stronger late game but I don’t think that can be the only reason

How to play with unlocked camera.

Iv tried it before but how are you meant to move it during a fight, currently I play on locked and use my minimap to see the enemy for example if I’m leaning into the river I will look at my minimap instead of my screen as I feel I will see the enemy earlier I think if I okayed with unlocked I wouldn’t have to do this

How to get an advantage with a bad support?

If i have a good support I can do all ins and gain an advantage by kills, but if I don’t have a good support all ins are very risky, and the other methods such as trading or zoning the enemy off wave are very hard as almost all other ADC’s have a higher range allowing them to kite outside my range making me lose every trade. Normally I would just play for drake in this situation but depending on how the lane goes the enemy might end up too ahed for us to do drake so I have no opportunity’s to create a lead. In this situation should I just go mid lane and okay for team fights or look for solo picks on weaker enemies?

Weak champ?

Never played him in an actual game but he seems pretty weak compared to other assassins because you need to stack your Q before you go in and do damage which requires more setup than other assassins who’s damage can happen immediately. Also not sure but he definitely feels like the most squishy assassin, I play ADC and went vs a Locke going 9/2 and normally an assassin going that well will one shot me but because of Locke W he feels a lot more susceptible to burst I was playing Kai’sa and managed to 0-100 in 2 seconds while he tries to do a full rotation. not sure but I think he needs some buffs or mini-rework. Other times Iv seen Locke even if he is doing well he’s pretty useless. Might just be bad players but there is some consistency in the games Iv seen him in.

Longest non-ult skill shot.

What is the longest range a non-ultimate skill shot has, I tired looking online and I couldn’t find a conclusive answer. And I thought someone else probably knows rather than me waste my time looking through the range of every skill shot I can think of.

Edit: the answers seems to be lilias E as it has infinite range, I’m guessing the next would be Kai’sa W as that has 3000 range and no one has yet to mention something with more.
