Champion Build Guide
Tips and tricks
If you start D shield, hold on to grey health for as long as possible before you regen as D shield heals you for missing health.
E start with HoB is good cheese vs. champs who have a bad level 1.
Pyke has the highest base armor in the game - if you're vs. a scaling ad champ mid but the rest of the enemy team is ap, it may be worth to pick mr runes.
It's easy to bait a roam towards bot, then W and go top. Enemy laner will spam ping bot and then you'll appear top.
You can ignite mid-R animation if the enemy is 1hp above the R threshold.
Zac's passive blobs are coded as minions, if you R them your R will not reset.
R does true damage through shields.

Feast or famine champ.
Weak late-game.
Can't build HP to go tanky if you fall behind and want to tank for your ADC.

If you miss your R reset you can throw a teamfight.
Stopwatch counters you.
Healers counter you.
