LoL General Mk2 - My boots, they drop wards!

[Vrikaan Phoenix]

So playing jax with a lulu and a zilean on my team is possibly the most fun I have had in this game so far. Easily able to 3v5 the enemy team due to zilean speedboost, lulu ulti and (if needed) zilean ulti...walked out of the fight with 100hp, a quadra kill and zilean didn't even need to ulti.

Also going back to the discussion from last page/top of this page about different streamers, I find scarra and theoddone the best since they actually explain what they are doing, why they are buying certain items etc.

Just won 4 in a row \o/
3 with Fizz, 1 with Poppy.

Fizz is fucking nuts against noobs it appears...got 10+ kills easy in his games.

[Voulture]

Played like 4 games of Draven lately. Calling it now, he is getting nerfed then he is getting into competitive scene. His steroid and lategame dmg is just retarded. His passive proc on crits for some really sick dmg. His E is probably best skill depending ability ever. I managed to stop shen's taunt toward me IN AIR twice in last game. Once almost on purpose. If someone got some korean style micro like doublelift i see sick potential. Can even stop malphite ult in air from what i have seen. His lategame is vayne dps like but his early is still very strong. Chasing ability + harass with Q is woooah.

Definitely buying him next.

Malphite is immune to all CC while in his ult, if it can then it's a bug.

[Voulture]

Have you seen anyone stopping shen's taunt in air?

Akali bug looking to be fixed soon (relatively speaking).

[Vorkash]

Have you seen anyone stopping shen's taunt in air?

Yes because he's not immune to cc while taunting.

I have seen trist knockback shen while taunting. I have seen trist fail to knockback malphite while ulting. It's the same mechanic draven uses, if it's working through malphite ult then it's a bug.

[Qwert]

Remember that the ult is named "Unstoppable force"

If ANYTHING stops it, it is a bug.

Just tested the ranked dodge timer (Locked in WW top as 2nd pick and then the premade duo pick leona top and soraka mid.)

30min wait to play another game after one dodge.

I am ok with that, its 30mins that I would have spent in a troll game anyway.

[Armag3ddon]

Does the wait time increase after each dodge or is it cap'd at 30 min now as well?

Soraka mid is actually pretty good versus some mid champs. Crazy sustain through heals and a free silence is n1, only thing lacking is nuke power, but high ap starcall makes up for that in teamfights. Not Morgana good but still good.

I've had Leonas carry games from a solo lane.

Sure they are most of the time better as supports but assuming they are troll picks is stupid. I'd rather them to 99% of Warwicks I see.

So after much deilberation, prayer, and gnashing of teeth I decided to bite the bullet and try Karma mid.

versus Fizz.

...

I beat the everloving SNOT out of him. Did not die once the entire game, was a huge presence in teamfights, and landed quite a few clutch shields to save people.

My only question is HOW? WHY is Karma so good in mid? Was I just playing against a shit Fizz? Is she just a one-hit wonder and next time I play her I'm going to feed horribly?

Anyone who has experience with mid-Karma let me know please

I've heard it stacks, and that 30 is the minimum.

Karma in mid is like Morg/Kass in blindpick: People just don't have a fucking clue how to handle it most of the time.

Doesn't help that Fizz is also a shit mid and is really a very specific counterpick.

[Voulture]

Yeah, he usually counter any ap casters. But due to fact, that you can rarely see them mid, he is a counterpick.

what fact?

[Lilalaunebör]

Fizz is melee. Karmas burst weapon is shield, which she can use on creeps. So unless he jumps he'll get a face full of ouch if he goes for lasthit.
He has to go all in for his burst/heal reduction to be worth anything. If hes a shit player and doesnt do that, hell run out of mana before Karma. Karma in contrast doesnt rely on bursting people down in one go (which Fizz could avoid) but rather grinds targets down while healing / shielding to stay on top.

So yeah, probably shit Fizz player combined with a pretty non-standard matchup? Not that id do well with him either, but i think thats the theory.

"Any"?

I know he doesn't beat Annie or Ryze offhand. If they don't have skillshot CC (sans Kassadin, cause his is really easy for Fizz to dodge) they're usually great against Fizz. Bonus points if ranged.

Xerath changes next patch, sounds like he may not suck anymore:

Hey guys, here to explain what happened with Xerath and provide some updates

First, the ultimate change was intended for a number of reasons:
1) It brings Xerath’s playstyle closer to what we originally envisioned with the character (Constant siege barrage instead of instant burst)
2) The animation was broken with the previous ultimate and we wanted to fix that

We were also aware that this was a significant nerf to Xerath and intended to buff him at the same time to compensate for it, what we did NOT intend was the animation changes going in without the buffs accompanying it.

We will be giving Xerath the intended buffs in the next patch. We messed up on this one and I apologize on behalf of the team to all the Xerath players out there.

Fizz is the counter to winning mid. He's great against Vlad and can do reasonably well in a few lanes but honestly he relies on his lane opponent being braindead and not kiting him around - his burst is insane but it's melee range. His blink can be interrupted.

[Voulture]

It doesn't matter as you annihilate every one at lvl 4/5/6. All your job is to not get raped at lvl 1 and 2 when you don't have your 3 abilities. After that every poke exchange means you dodge one while dealing dmg with E, burst ap caster down with WQ and walk back before they got cd back. Of course there are champs that are not going to let you do that. Not sure about Annie, she got super low cd on Q but for exemple Ryze can fuck you up hard. But it's kinda obvious as Ryze got countered only by heavy safe pushing champs like TF.

Common picks mid that fizz shits on: Ahri (maybe tied with her good sustain), karthus, kasadin, morgana, leblanc, swain, veigar, lux. Maybe vlad but not so sure.
Fish can't do shit agains: ryze, tf, orianna, galio.
Fish can't get ganked unless you got baited into chasing someone. Fish is amazing gank initiator at lvl 6 and more. I am not saying he is some op champs that need to be discovered. He is just good ap burst champ that i for no reason completely underrated and played mostly by retards.
