Kled Tips?

Asked by AbaddonSoulchain on March 22, 2018

Kled is one of those problem champions for me. I know how to build him more or less but it doesn't work that good in game. I've checked the guides here but I saw some are pretty outdated.
I know Kled's thing is to clear the enemy wave, and when the enemy is alone, jump in with Q->E and auto attacks to proc W. Problem is, I usually take a lot of damage, to the point where I lose Skaarl and have to rebuild courage to bring him back. My most recent experiences with Kled were vs a Maokai and a Gangplank. The Maokai matchup went so so, he jumped me when he got the chance and I almost could not out-damage him but he couldn't kill me either. The GP matchup went a bit better, he was nervous so after dodging his barrels, I could jump in and make him waste Q and W and still come out on top. Any tips as to how to trade effectively with Kled will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

When you're playing Kled, don't think of it as trading. Every single time you go on the enemy toplaner, treat it as an all-in. You need to have the killer mentality from the get-go; no matter what the enemy does, you're there to kill him. Kled is very powerful in all in situations, and you need to use that to your advantage. When you go onto a GP, your Q and W will be more than half of his health, and auto attacks will be the rest of the damage you need. With 2 charges of your E, he shouldn't be able to get away unless he gets to his tower. At that point, wait till you can go on him again and keep killing him. If you're getting out damaged, it means that you're missing abilities or aren't farming well enough.

To be honest with you, I don't rightly remember what happened in my matchup with GP, I just remember that, generally speaking I did more dmg to him than he did to me. It was Maokai that forced me to lose Skaarl most of the time. I also have the tendency to make a mistake in top lane and attack my lane opponent when minions are near so I get minion aggro which is a ***** in early levels. In any case, while I know you are right, I am a bit of a coward (yes, totally unlike Kled's mentality, I know) so if I were to lose Skaarl in the middle of an all-in, I'd probably panic and mess up, even though auto-attacking champions can bring Skaarl back quickly.
