Learned the hard way that while you can grab invisible or camouflaged units with a Blitzcrank Q, Rocket Grab, it will only make them shimmer when it hits them. By the time they are sitting in your lap they will be invisible or camouflaged again and therefore untargetable by

Hi people it's whybother34 aka that guy who mains leona but his braum guide has more view even when he has 2/5 of the points on braum he has on leona. Thank you guys for getting both of my guides to 500 views! It's a little insane. However since i'm studying for AP's now I'm not going to be able to update for the next week or so. This mid season has made sejuani a popular character again (much to the hatred of my friend who mains her) and with some new items braum and leona benefited a bunch so yay thanks riot. I'm thinking of making a sion support guide next what do you guys think?

Time for my yearly Aatrox trials. Quick impressions.

Accessing Hellbent is super important. Starting out that is accessed through the third proc of Blood Price.

Runes:

9 Attack Speed Marks
9 Armor Seals
5 sMR or MR + 4 Attack Speed Glyphs
3 Attack Speed Quints

I've been running 18-0-12 with Fervor of Battle the keystone of choice. You could alternatively run 18-12-0. And some people seem to like Grasp of the Undying so 12-0-18 is another possibility though the later seems to be more lanecentric.

Skill Order

They fixed the healing on his W Blood Thirst at a value that scales with the amount of points you put into it + 6.5% of your missing health, so there is less reason to max this first.

For ganking that means that you should probably level E,

Early game, choose one after a double kill in Bot lane assuming you have enough champion power and health and mana to get it quickly.

Choosing to do both is a lot more risky because it gives their jungle, Mid, and potentially their Bot lane time to show up (+ a possible Teleport from their Top laner). And their Bot lane will have topped up on sustain and bought items assuming they had enough gold which means they will be at an item advantage over your Bot lane.

If it something juicy like an Infernal or Mountain Drake then opt for the Drake. If it is something less interesting like a Cloud or Ocean Drake then knock off the tower first.

If you opt to take Drake make sure your Mid and your Bot lane shove their waves in their respective lanes so that their opposing laners have to choose whether to deal with the minions at their tower/in their lane or going to contest the drake. The minions also provide you with some vision in that lane as long as the are alive.

As jungler with Smite…

You are on Blue Side

You start Red > Wolves > Blue and look to gank

Mid is in the middle of the lane. Both laners have all of their summoners as far as you know.

Your Top laner is pushing and due to some good early trades your laner is healthier than the enemy Top laner.

The enemy Bot lane came to lane about the same time as your Bot lane suggesting that they too leashed for their jungler.

I've found this to be a pretty common scenario. So many games I've gone up to ward the tribush to protect my laner from a 3:00ish minute gank by the enemy jungler and I've actually dropped the ward right on top of the enemy jungler sitting in the Tribush.

Often times this results in nothing except a little damage exchanged, but does nothing to change the overall balance of power on the map.

So, how about you walk past Gromp after doing Blue (assuming you are healthy enough and have enough mana) and get into the lane brush and setup for a countergank?

Boom, double kill.

What happens next? …

Yo. Didn't intend to write this publicly but I figured I might as well. Strategy blog about positioning when your team is behind or against a powerplay such as elder dragon or baron. Harder to apply in soloQ but pings exist and these mistakes happen more commonly in soloQ but also awfully often in premade flex games.

This mostly applies when your team has no control over the map anymore. The enemy team has the initiative to make something happen. Often means being thousands of gold behind in the game, enemy team having early-mid game comp against late game team or enemy team having baron or elder dragon powerplay.

Using images might be easier to understand the situation so in this case for example, baron is down and almost every lane has lost first turrets.



Baron plays are so efficient in soloQ for example because people don't understand what they are supposed to do or rather, many will try to do something which leads to problems. Everyone (hopefully) knows the general idea which …

5 days has passed and another game tonight.

Playing some ADC as this is my main role. Aiming for a minimum of 60 farm in 10mins. Still trying to get out the group, where match-ups are with leavers and feeders. I swear if one more player leaves during champion selection, I am going to loose my sh..

This is going to be a somewhat short look at the subject because there are a lot of factors involved and it is going to be from a defensive perceptive as I don't have a lot of experience with offensive invades.

Getting mass invaded by 4 or more of the enemy team is a separate topic. Usually look and see how much CC the enemy team has or if they have a Thresh, Braum, or
