Read ThisCan someone confirm this theory? "If you put a Control Ward in front of Baron, Warding Totems are disabled, BUT if you put a Warding Totem behind the Baron Nashor then the Control Ward doesn't detect it." I've edited this post too many times, someone confirm this with video source. Need one player on the other team, or use 2 accounts. I don't know, get it done. It would be REALLY appreciated by this community. JOKE: Why did Twisted Fate get deported? . . . He doesn't have a green card. [link] [comments] |
| Why is Caitlyn recommended for players learning to ADC? Posted: 10 Jan 2020 10:15 PM PST Annie is recommended for mid because she has easy mechanics and teaches the fundamentals of mid lane. I don't think Caitlyn is a very fundamental ADC at all:
So why is Caitlyn recommended for players learning to ADC? It seems like she teaches all the wrong things, or at the very least unusual things. Edit: I wrongly implied E should be used to close gaps. It's usually an escape. I meant it's counter-intuitive as in you aim it one way and you move the other. [link] [comments] |
| How do you use attack move properly? Posted: 11 Jan 2020 03:04 PM PST I main Support but like to play ADC sometimes so I've watched a few guides on the role and apparently the attack move command is important (particularly attack move on cursor). I've got it bound and a faint blue circle appears around my character, and then my character proceeds to attack. The problem isn't so much what it targets, but rather, how do you optimally use this feature? After attack moving once it seems you cannot use attack move again and have to manually click, and so forth. [link] [comments] |
| How to get into Higher ELO with Midlane | Videos organized by difficulty Posted: 11 Jan 2020 04:03 PM PST Hi, I'm Zen a self-employed - self-proclaimed "coach" who hits diamond playing FILL and has played Jungle to masters. I have made a post to organize some videos that I believe may help the good people of Reddit to improve at the game at a very quick pace. The jungle concepts are still relative even with the map and EXP Changes, however "Accelerated EXP" / "Rubber-Banding" does not exist so please be mindful of that. Thank you.
Quick few steps on how to use these videos:

| As an ADC, what can I do better when I have a low presence support? Posted: 11 Jan 2020 03:17 PM PST I've been transitioning from a Jungle main to playing ADC for the last few seasons and I've been taking seriously of my own errors and decision making and I know there will be games where what my gameplan/style in lane doesn't match up with what my support is doing. I know I'm not perfect and I'll be the first one to point out when I mess up and there's probably more that I'm not seeing. So rather than just calling the game a loss because me and my support aren't on the same page, what can I AS A PLAYER, do better? The goal of this post isn't to climb but to make myself more consistent, regardless of the performance of my partner. I've been finding myself in the following scenarios a lot (and what i think I'm doing wrong): My support is a hook champion (Pyke or Blitz) playing into a poke lane that doesn't know how to apply pressure by being in a position to actually hook people. (Maybe I should be pushing so he can get into a better position instead of attempting to freeze on my side?) My support is playing a poke champion (Brand or Zyra ) but standing behind me, missing skillshots and being ineffective while I'm being zoned. (Again, maybe being too passive in lane. Maybe I made a mistake at, say level 2 or 3 that put me into that position?) My support is Teemo. (I've been getting a lot lately, I dont know why, I need to start dodging them.) I'm willing to also make adjustments to my champion pool to practice whatever advise given. I've been playing a lot of Kai'sa, even if she's not in the best spot, she's versatile . Edit: spelling mistakes. [link] [comments] |
| Beginner's League of Legends Glossary; Abbreviations Posted: 11 Jan 2020 05:04 AM PST Hi! If you're fairly new to the game, then you'll see a lot of different abbreviations said in chat and in the game, so I wanted to make a glossary to tell you the meaning of these. Please comment if you need any more explanations, or if I've missed out any key ones. Beginner's League of Legends Glossary: Abbreviations AD = Attack Damage (or just Damage in the shop) - Physical damage dealt by auto-attacks and abilities with orange text. ADC = Attack Damage Carry - A role played in the bottom lane, usually with a gunman-like champion, that scales (steadily increases in strength) in the game to become a high-damage dealing part of the team. Examples; Miss Fortune, Tristana, Lucian Auto = Auto-attack - Your champion's basic attack, done by right clicking an enemy. Some champions have melee autos, some have ranged. AP= Ability Power - Magic Damage dealt by abilities with blue/turquoise text BE = Blue Essence - In-game currency that you earn from levelling up, champion shards and hextech chests. It can be used to purchase champions. Bot = Short for bottom lane ( a 'bot' is also a CPU that you play against when first learning the game) Blue= Short for Blue Buff - A buff given by defeating a blue sentinel monster in the jungler. CC = Crowd Control - When you are stunned, rooted, grounded, airborne, asleep etc Most champions have abilities that deliver these special effects. CDR = Cool Down Reduction - Reduces how long you have to wait between using abilities CS = Creep Score - The number of creeps/minions that you have last hit, and so gained gold from killing them. EZ = easy FF = Forfeit - To surrender: press esc and a surrender button can be pressed if you think your team can't win at all. Your team will then vote to surrender or not. You can only start a surrender vote after 15 mins into a game. GG = Good game - Usually said by either team at the end of a game GP = Gangplank - A champion usually played in top lane who shoots barrels JGL = Short for Jungler, a role played in between lanes. The jungler will kill monsters in the jungle between the lanes and 'gank' lanes ( come to a lane to try and kill the enemy). Examples; Warwick, Master Yi, Lee Sin KS = Kill Steal - When you are about to get a kill and a teammate steals it by getting the last hit. MF = Miss Fortune - A ADC champion played in the bot lane MR = Magic Resistance = Resistance to ability power OE = In-game currency used to unlock skins from skin shards OP = Over-powered RP = Riot Points - In-game currency that costs real money to buy and is used to purchase skins, champions and loot SS (?) = MiSSing = this is the question mark ping (?) to signal that an enemy is missing from your lane. TF = Twisted Fate - A card-wielding mage usually played in the mid lane. TP = Teleport - The purple Summoner Spell that lets you teleport to an allied creep, tower or ward. Ult/Ulti = Ultimate - Your champion's ultimate ability, usually bound to the R key. Examples of some item abbreviations: IE = Infinity Edge QSS = Quick Silver Sash RFC = Rapid Fire Cannon T- Force = Trinity Force BORK = Blade Of the Ruined King Mercs = Mercury Treads Mobis = Boots of Mobility Sorcs = Sorcerors shoes [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Jan 2020 05:02 AM PST https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Master_Yi https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Riven Looking at the attack speed section in base stats, the wiki claims that champions have different attack windups for auto attacks, and that Yi must finish 24% of his auto before it goes through, while Riven only has to finish 16% Perhaps it doesn't matter as much as I think, but it seems insane in certain "niche" situations. It could mess up my Yi 1v1 "combo" that I like to do where I auto -> Q -> auto -> meditate reset -> auto If it works as intended, I auto them and barely cancel their auto with Q, then I auto them again before barely reducing their auto damage with meditate reset, which lets me start the fight with 3 autos + 1 Q vs their 40% damage auto.

| Basic Attacking Champs as Jungler Posted: 11 Jan 2020 03:21 PM PST Edit: For clarity I have my 'a' key bound to "attack move click", as that's what works best for me and is my default way of attacking enemy champions and when I'm farming minions playing as a laner. I also have "auto attack move" bound to 'z' and "target champions only" on 'x'. My question is what method of basic attacking works best when jungling camps and for skirmishes.? With someone like Nunu it's ez enough to just use 'a'as his attack speed is pretty slow. But, when I play Olaf, especially mid to late game, his attack speed is so fast that it feels like if i click 'a' somewhere around enemy champ I might, instead of a quick consecutive second aa, move a bit and miss some autos. Should I instead use target champions only when fast aa'ing as Olaf? I have trouble kiting with the enemy as they are running as it seems I miss more auto attacks than I should. Should I perhaps only click the enemy once during his roid rage attack speed boot, when close enough to do and making sure to pick up axes, and not try to stutter step with his attack speed like an adc to efficiently land the most auto attacks? Was curious how other junglers manage high attack speed champions. [link] [comments] |
| Why are so many high elo players saying that Akali is the best top AND mid laner? Posted: 11 Jan 2020 03:16 PM PST I most recently saw Hashinshin tweet about this, but I've also heard other pros on stream say akali is one of the strongest top laners at the moment. If this is the case, why isn't she played more in solo queue? I play a decent amount of akali and I never really feel as strong as I'm seeing her made out to be. Am I missing something?

| Red frame on health bar when low - what does it mean? Posted: 11 Jan 2020 01:43 PM PST When playing cho'gath for example, when an enemy gets low their health bar gets a red frame with a vertical line in the lower portion. Does this indicate that my ultimate would be lethal? Does it indicate something else? Does it only appear when you are playing certain champions? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Jan 2020 01:58 PM PST I feel like I play Yasuo fairly well on a mechanical level and average just above 8cpm and always have a decent lane, whether it's scoring a kill early or freezing and managing lanes on unflavored matchups. However, I always seem to have a hard time influencing the mid game if I do have a lead. The enemy laner turns extremely passive and I can set up a freeze and deny him that cs and xp, but I feel like I'm handicapping my opportunity to carry outside of just my lane by only putting their mid laner at a defecit rather than influencing the whole map. Roams feel long and dragged out, and the enemy mid laner begins to crash waves into my turret and take plates and catch up on the lead I gained while I attempt roams that can't be considered guaranteed. Basically if the game gets past mid game without the other lanes spiraling out of control I've got a good chance at winning, but I'm looking for tips to help influence that mid game so I don't have to hold my breath and hope to see late game. Also, I'm not confident in my itemization as I've seen a number of different paths. I basically always follow the same path which is as boots>PD>IE then from here it's game dependent, qss/stopwatch into GA/exec/Deaths dance etc. Could anyone shed some insight on the correct item pathing for Yass and what's strong where and why? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| When do I use Sorakas Ult? And should I be attacking minions? Posted: 11 Jan 2020 12:06 PM PST I always seem to use it too late or way too early. I usually wait until more than 1 or 2 teammates are low and then pop it but should i use it for myself sometimes or what? Also, I been yealled at for auto-ing minions. I know I shouldnt be when fighting but ive been told never to attack the minions due to something with waves? what do i do? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Jan 2020 08:32 AM PST Hi all! I placed S3 in placements, this is the first time I'll play a full season from start to finish so I'm quite excited and I'm aiming for medium gold/high platinum- but that's beside the point. I understand that I'm asking a lot out of someone, but I honestly think ironing my game sense/knowledge will do wonders for me anyway as my mechanics are okay bar a couple of skillshots hitting the moon now and again. Whoever can help me out, I will be forever grateful. If you could answer in a similar format to what I've put below and just sort of give me a few pointers to help me out - I'd love it if other people could chime in as-well and together maybe we can help out another player with flawed logic/way of thinking about the game. When it comes to the actual game, I think I'm VERY critically misunderstood on a lot of things and there are so many gaps in my knowledge that lead me to do random things - it's frustrating me because I don't understand, it's not that I'm not "smart" enough but at the same time I don't think I've taught myself to play correctly. I'm thinking about the game wrong because like I said, there are many gaps in my knowledge. I'll make a little list of something I don't understand and I'd seriously appreciate it if someone could confront me about these and just iron out my knowledge in these areas of the game. 1) When I get the first blood and I'm sort of low on HP/Mana - do I still push the wave out to his tower or not? I always thought this was the wrong thing to do because the jungle could just come and kill me and I'll basically lose out on my lead. 2) How do I roam and not lose out? My timing is so bad- I literally would just randomly run to a side lane when I think it's roamable, not thinking about the wave crashing or losing a cannon minion. 3) I always seem to concede CS and I don't understand why but every single game I end up putting myself at a CS disadvantage in the lane against my opponent. 4) Why do I EVER push as a midlaner? This for me is probably the biggest one - I thought the gameplan is always to freeze the wave on whoever you're against to secure the CS and poke him down if he walks up - this is regardless of the champion your playing and I know this is very, very wrong. 5) When do I freeze as a midlaner? When I feel he's weak enough for me to either kill or force a back out of him when he steps up for the cs right? 6) On the first levels(1 up to 3), do I let him take the CS first? Or is it about who can get level 2 first so I should CS as fast as possible in the early game? 7) What do I do if I get the first blood tower? 8) When do I establish when we are in the mid-game phase? 9) Should I always be following my enemy midlaner to his roam? 10) How do I establish a CS lead over my opponent with Twisted Fate? To whoever takes the time - I thank you so much. I know it's a lot to ask of anyone, in the meantime I'll be on League [link] [comments] |
| When/who to buy Zeke's Convergence Posted: 11 Jan 2020 12:45 PM PST Basically I'm just curious as to which champions and pairs of champions do best with Zeke's convergence. I've built it in a few games as Leona with a Miss Fortune ADC and noticed that she can't take great advantage of its buff. Which ADC's is it worth building for or is it worth it with just the 40% slow? Also, are there any alternatives I could build for champs who can't take advantage that well? [link] [comments] |
| How do you get better at Aatrox? Posted: 11 Jan 2020 12:23 PM PST Been a while since i transitioned to top lane , and most champions i've played were quite boring to play for longer periods of time, all expect for Aatrox. I love everything about that champion and I really wanted to one-trick him (until a better/cooler version comes out) So far i've been brutalized outside of the laning phase, which also doesn't go that smoothly in certain scenarios, but, the main problem i have is that i don't know how to push my lead towards mid game Usually i just end up underfarming some 150+ minions and dragging my ass down towards mid, which gets me killed, more often than not. I would just like to get some tips for getting better at this champ, throughout the entire game. Any tips really would be highly appreciated [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Jan 2020 11:57 AM PST I'm new to league, like 5 weeks, and after levelling up and getting a basic idea of everything (bot main) a friend suggested I go into ranked to improve. I've done a fair amount of draft games and I seem to always do decent in them, winning lane more often than not. However when I go into ranked, I am always the worst person on the team and just cant seem to do anything right. Can someone please help me with this? [link] [comments] |
| How to get insanely high KDA like RatIRL Posted: 11 Jan 2020 04:27 PM PST I've been watching RatIRL recently and even in like diamond and below games, he will have insane KDA even when hes soloQ I dont know if it has to do with his champ being semi cheese and the fact that at a few items twitch just runs away with the game especially in lower ELO. Could someone give me the fundamentals of what he is doing to just like 25/3 and just destroy games? I assume I would need to be playing a super hard 1v9 carry champ so if you could give some recommndations for that too that would be great! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Jan 2020 07:38 AM PST I have been trying to learn kayle recently, i do well when i get going in the late game, but in early i keep getting destroyed. I keep under tower and try to farm but as soon as i leave i die. i never win trades and get almost zero farm. i know kayle scales hard but i cant when i have 50 cs after 20 minutes. how do improve my early game as kayle so that I can actually win trades and fights?

| trading on champs that have good extended trades? Posted: 11 Jan 2020 04:22 PM PST How do you know if your extended trade will be worth it? Burst trades: I do X damage, I use Y to avoid retaliation. Extended: I consistently do damage, but often times it's hard to predict just how much u can do, and including lifesteal and conq healing, etc. it gets really weird with minions and stuff. Since they'll prob kite back into their minion wave, an if they're burst, they just go in and out, barely any minon dmg, while ur trade has to go into theirs, but u know that their cds are down, but then it becomes a game of whether u can kill them b4 rotation 2, cuz if u back off now they can just kite back with rotation 2 up, so yeah. Is there like a general rule for this or do u just keep on playing the game? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Jan 2020 03:47 PM PST So I tried her today and I was wondering if anyone had some advice for a new irelia player. I tried finding a video but they were all how to stomp low elo type stuff as a challenger. What are the basic things I need to practice with her and any nuances about her kit that isnt exactly explained in the tooltips. [link] [comments] |
| In Shop, Categories Keep "Combining", instead of Switching. Started This Patch, Never Before, Help? Posted: 11 Jan 2020 03:40 PM PST NOTICE: I am aware you can click the little "checkmark boxes" next to the Category name to combine categories, this is NOT what I'm doing to run into this issue. I'm simply clicking the NAME of the Category, and the Shop is wrongly combining every Category I click. So it may sound confusing but hear me out: What's happening is that when you click a Category in the Shop, and then click a different Category, it just shows the items that are in Both categories. Example:
This isn't how the Shop is supposed to work or even how it worked just before this latest patch. What's supposed to happen is when you clicked the other category, "Critical Strike", it's supposed to show the items that have Critical Strike, obviously. But this isn't what's happenning in my shop. Another example:
If this really is a bug, how do I let riot know? If there's actually a setting to change this patch, what is it? Thanks! [link] [comments] |

Thanks [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Jan 2020 03:29 PM PST I've been playing Kayn recently and getting really good grades A- through S+, but my damage is always really low... Is this normal? I feel like I don't do much other than farm and the occasional gank when they have low HP (since Kayn is so squishy). Is this normal? Thanks y'all. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Jan 2020 08:06 AM PST (Legal ones, not hacks, obviously) The main one I've seen mentioned before is the "Blitz App" which can apparently provide all sorts of insights into team compositions, and automatically set your rune pages, and other things like that. But I'd also be interested to hear about other ones. What do they do? Is any of it actually helpful or worth having? [link] [comments] |
