Hallowvrybuddy, Foo here. I am coming with another strategy post! Today, we will be discussing the skill order on many AP middle lane champions.

Here is the original thread.

From now on, this blog will have original posts.

There are two things that are very important for middle lane champions:

1. Creep Clear
2. Burst Damage

Most skill orders for AP champions are made to optimize one of these, so let's look at many APs that don't prioritize creep clear on their skills order. Sometimes it is because they have another, more important, priority, and other times, it is simply because the skill order isn't optimal.

I feel that some underplayed APs are viewed as subpar because they don't use the best skill order. People play them, look up a guide, and play the champion wrong, making them think he/she is weaker than they actually are.

What I do, is list what skill is commonly maxed, and an alternate skill maxing that gives extra creep clear, then I compare the two number wise, and then I finally give a verdict on whether it is worth it.

NOTE:

If there is a champion that I missed, please tell me. I didn't list any AD mids, but if some one asks, I'll look into them and add them. Keep in mind that champs that already max their creep clear spells are not listed here. Some of these are champs that I don't play, so there may be some details that I've missed, so please points that out if there is one. (i.e. how many levels/items it takes for Noxious Blast to wipe a caster minion wave.)

NOTE TWO:

I listed the total damage for each spell. If there is a second way to deal damage, it’s included. (i.e. Counted Anivia’s Q double hitting, and E hitting while chilled)
































P.S. If you like this strategy thread, give me a +rep :)

If there is something you don't agree with, post what it is below. If there is something wrong, or a typo, please point that out too.

Next time, I will make an almost identical thread, but with burst damage instead of creep clear.

Thanks for reading :D
