Thx mate! With your guide I could find a new option for top, to climb from bronze, as people dont really get whats happening until they are dead xD - I got 58% wins in 50 games.

I would say there are not many counters to be afraid of, but please add Teemo, he is a real problem in top since his ranged poke will let Kled dismount very often, and you wont get much farm in early. Also with the classic Quinn top it can be more complicated to get early farm.

Awesome guide! Kled isn't really picked much in the current meta but he's still a very cool champion to play. Love the in-depth insight given on each of his abilities and how to use them efficiently. Good Emphasis on tips on how to play him in lane. Great job +1

I want to thank you for making this guide. I've been looking for a unique champion to main for a while now and i stumbled upon your guide. Luckily enough Kled is in the weekly rotation so I'm getting to play him for free and see if I really wanna main him. So far I've been having so much fun with the champion, so many enemies underestimate you, I still have a lot to learn about the champion but your guide helped me a lot.

No problem man, you can add me to play if you are on na too if you want

one thing, is dead man's plate a good item on kled? I tried it and I did well( I was up against a nasus, but still) since it gives you some nice armor and hp for that stupid lizard, but crushing blow hurts and can spice up the old combo. Is it a good idea?

Yea its a great item to get tankier when enemy team has that appropriate ad

thanks, and another question:if they don't have the AD, is it better to get randuins or stoneplate? stoneplate just seems like a weird choice, because the active reduces your damage output, which is what kled needs. its nice stats, but aren't items like plate and randuins more cost effective in nearly all cases?

The stoneplate active is most useful when you lose skaarl, it will allow you to get him back much easier as you wont be as killable.
As per the no ad thing, a simple GA would be enough if you mean only an adc that isnt too prevalent

Hey man, just a tip against Fiora(which you should put in matchups) is that if a vital appears on you that is pointing torwards a wall, just hug the wall and fiora can't get to hit it, and then give her the old southern redneck combo. I'm a huge fan of your builds! I don't know if it's a good build but I usually go black cleaver, boots, titanic, then a crit build. What I usually see when I play as Kled, is that he falls off especially mid to late game if he starts building a bit tanky. Give crit a try, guisnoos rageblade also might be fine (somehow won a 4v5 by shredding tanks and adcs with it). I haven't played much of ranked, but it's a fun build. Sorry for the long post but can you make a section for Kled Mechanics?

I have given crit tries, and its very fun. and rage blade does actually work well with his W. My issue with them though is that he gets killed very quickly and getting Skaarl back is a pain in da ***. Havent tried it this season though so i will.

Hi, since Preseason 8 is now here, what would the runes look like for a jungle build?

1

|

Use the same one i have listed, still much better for the late game

1

|

For now use the same ones, currently messing around with a set and can get back to you by end of today

There was one thing I forgot to ask. Why if you have no lifesteal in the build? Does Skaarl's remount count as healing?

1

You right, I forgot to change it when i removed deaths dance from sample

Nice concise guide to . +1 I've been trying to pick him up the last couple of days and the tip about autoing to get Skarl's courage back up made a big difference.

Re match-ups. I would throw in in there. I played against one in back to back games so I got to change things up between matches.

1st time: Started + 1 . That worked okay until he managed to get me dismounted. Then it was all-in plus and I died. I tried fighting him again after I got some armor, but it just didn't work. He would knock me off Skarl and then finish me off with a 2nd rotation and Ignite if I stuck around while dismounted, even with . He picked up a triple kill in Bot lane later and I couldn't touch him for pretty much the rest of the game without team coordination.

2nd time: Started + 4 s and only tried to trade with him with just Q damage, unless he tried to jump on me while I had all three abilities available, which this Panth did when I tried to proc the 2nd part of the Q damage. Trades were pretty even that way. But I made sure to keep my health up while doing all of this with the 4 potions. This one was not running so that helped.

Would you run armor seals in this match-up? The first time I did, but I didn't go cloth armor. The second time I ran health/lvl seals (as you recommend) with cloth armor to bolster me

I would suggest running and allowing the lane to push in. Rushing would be useful. Honestly, there isn't much you can do against , since his will end up critting on you when you are dismounted.

I will say though, I don't see a lot of .

Thanks for the reply Archthunder!

Pantheon is sort of my nemesis. When I play him I get some lane that I can't snowball or I am one ability/auto from getting my passive back to win the fight then I die. When someone on the enemy team plays him they stomp a mud hole my team's backside and we lose when we surrender at 20, but we win if I can keep my team from surrendering and we make it to 35 minutes into the game.

It was odd getting one two matches back to back.

Uh, aren't getting the lane to push in and rushing mutually exclusive?

If you mean - weather the early laning phase to the point where you can buy a and then make pay when he roams with his tower, that I'll agree with that.

I'll have to give while running health/lvl seals another whirl as you suggestd, but my inclination is that for my play style, I think into and a will let you kill him with jungler help. Do not fight/let him get on you if dismounted especially if he is running /if low let your jungler finish him off after you get what damage you can off on him.

What I meant was by rushing , farming under turret becomes easier. That's all.

Ah. I will have to try that. Still trying to get used to his AA animation in general so I miss a fair amount of CC with no help from the enemy laner. I'm starting to get it down though.

Teemo is a nightmare for Kled and it sucks so much when you see one.

I can image that. I assume his blind probably lasts the entire duration of which eats the bulk of your damage.

Precisely, that and his much better early game than yours and his slow from the mushrooms make him almost impossible to deal with.

Bait his blind then you can easily out trade him, and if you cant bait his blind then just wait for jungler ganks. The damage from your Q will chunk a lil baby teemo

My problem is at level 6 when he hits mushroom level, that piled with the speed from his W makes him a pain to kill or even get near, and by then if he knows how to reset properly he can deal well over half of Skaarl's HP in a second which at that point you find it hard to engage, I think Quicksilver Sash is a great item to get against Teemo though and I find it really helps me with the match up, and I find I really can't rely on my jungler most of the time for securing kills.

I do have my own little tidbit for Kled, when you get dismounted poke with your Q a little bit and then when you have about 20-30 courage (or even less if you have Tiamat/Hydra) I find you can then just go completely YOLO on the enemy, hopefully your AAs are enough to get back on Skaarl and then that big chunk of HP and mobility should easily allow you to finish your opponent, I find Death's Dance really helps when it comes to this strategy.

Hes usually pretty easy to bully, and if i were you id go for a Maw early rather than a qss,

1

(6) |

My issue is that I don't feel like the damage is the issue but more the blind, QSS seems to help a lot though since as soon as the blind comes out you can easily bring the pain. Though Maw dos help a bunch too but I think you underestimate how much a good Teemo can bully you due to the amount of range harass Teemo has access to.

You know what would make this guide really good...a changelog. I always see your guide being updated, but I never know what you changed! Just a small change, however, I can imagine it would be difficult to recall all of your changes. Just something to consider :D
