Brand
Tricky lane if it's a good Brand player. He does a lot of poke early on. The bright side, if you can get on to him he dies really fast.

Ashe
Ashe is a very nice ADC to work with because of all the slows she provides. Combined with your crowd control you form a very powerful duo if you layer your CC nicely.

Hi guys,
I am KajiŌkami.
This is my 3rd guide and I am still learning a lot about guide writing.
I made this guide because I think

If you want to be able to climb the ladder in ranked here are a few pointers in general (counts for every role and every champion). League of Legends is, and will always be, a team game. This means that you will have to rely on others in order to win games. Some games you can carry your team, some games you will be the one getting carried by your team. Just remember: everyone can have a bad game!
|
Do's
|
+ Be positive + Be a teamplayer + Play the vision game + Take objectives + Play mastered champions + Keep your cool |
One of the most important parts about being able to win consistently is being positive. If you go into your games with a clear and positive mindset it will not only help you, but also your teammates. Part of playing as a team includes going along with plays your team commits to. Even if you don't 100% agree with the play. By not joining when your team is committed to make the play you just lower the chances of a play succeeding or not! Another very important key to victory is vision! It's not only the support's job to provide vision. It is a team effort, by buying a Next thing to keep in mind is to play champions you feel comfortable on, don't force yourself into taking the meta pick if you don't know how to play the champion through and through! Knowing everything there is to know about your champion is very important to consistently win lane! Last but not least: keep your cool! If you are having a bad game, don't start making risky plays or going by yourself. Play safe and rely on your team to help you get back into the game. Same thing goes if your team is playing poorly. Stay calm and don't blame it on them, just keep playing and help them get back into the game. |
|
Don'ts
|
- Flame - Be negative - Afk farm - Surrender - Chase kills - Be a KDA player |
Never flame your teammates, because this will cost you the game more often than not. For example: We've all been there, the enemy jungler seems to have a tent set by your lane and your jungler doesn't visit your lane once. What to do next, flame and blame your jungler? No! Just play safe, don't give away free kills and let your jungler have impact elsewhere on the map. The same goes for being negative, this will just have a bad impact on your teammates. It will affect their play and your chances of winning decrease by a big amount. If a game isn't going according to plan, don't go sit in a sidelane doing nothing but farm all game. Yes, farming is important, but helping your team and assisting on plays is a lot more important! Surrendering is also never an option. If you are behind, just stall out the game until your have caught up with the enemy team or at least until the difference in items and gold doesn't matter as much anymore. A lot of games can be won by just playing smart and waiting for your time, even if you are behind. One more thing to keep in mind: don't chase for kills. Most of the times you keep chasing for a kill you are just wasting your time or worse, getting yourself killed! If an enemy gets away with just a bit of health take this opportunity to take an objective or provide and clear out vision. This will help your team globally a lot more than trying to get that one kill to boost your KDA and risk dying. |


In every game you will take
The reason behind taking


|
Pros
+ Very fun champion + Easy to master + Provides a lot of cc + Tanky + Strong peel + Great all-in engage |
Cons
- Ability dependant - No escape after engaging - Easy to poke - Provides little sustain for ADC - Low base movement speed |

|
|
Staggering Blow (Passive): |
|
|
Dredge Line Q: Fun fact: you can use |
|
|
Titan's Wrath W: |
|
|
Riptide E: |
|
|
Depth Charge R: Hint: always use |


First things first: because of the new runes system there are now so many different building paths, depending on your playstyle, that it can become hard to choose.
In this chapter I will go over the runes that I think are best on
If you play him with other runes, or if you have some question about different runes, you can always ask and I will be happy to help! :)

There are various reasons for this: First of all you get bonus armor and magic resistance every time you use Second is the increased bonus damage you get on your next basic attack against an enemy champion. This also works very nicely with Note: |
|
During laning phase Update: patch 9.9 gave a little bit more power to |
|
Update: patch 9.7. buffed |
|
Having these items up more often can be very useful for engaging / shielding your team during teamfights. |
|
It makes you deal bonus true damage after using crowd control on an enemy champion. By now we all know that Update: patch 9.9 gave a little more punch to |
This preseason has brought something new and, in my opinion, very useful to the rune-page crafting: the option to pick you own bonus stats. There are 3 tiers, each with 3 options.
|
Tier 1 ~ Offense + 6 AD or 10 AP + 9% Attack Speed + 1 - 10% CDR (level 1 - 18) |
Tier 2 ~ Flex + 6 AD or 10 AP + 5 armor + 6 magic resistance |
Tier 3 ~ Defense + 15 - 90 HP (level 1 - 18) + 5 armor + 6 magic resistance |
I will tell you my personal view on these stats for
Tier 1 ~ Offense: 1 - 10% CDR (level 1 - 18). The reason behind picking the cool-down reduction as a bonus stat is very simple. This way you can easily cap of your CDR without having to go in to
Tier 2 ~ Flex: 5 bonus armor. This is the best way to go as
Tier 3 ~ Defense: here you will pick the 15 - 90 HP (level 1 - 18) for one simple reason: bonus health is the stat you will be getting the most value out of as



This chapter will be dedicated to the different bottom lane support matchups you can encounter as
Once you have completely mastered the champion, you will learn that there aren't a lot of matchups you can't win if you play it right. Although some matchups will always be more favorable than others!
You can click on the champions listed below to go directly to the matchup you wan to read about. Champions in green are matchup levels 1/10 - 3/10, yellow are matchup levels 4/10 - 7/10 and red are matchup levels 8/10 - 10/10.

In this chapter I will talk more about the itemization on
There are a lot of good items you can build, each of which I will explain below.
|
Important: patch 9.23 brought huge changes to support items: you no longer need to buy your upgrades. Once you have collect enough gold, the items will upgrade by themselves. This leaves more room for supports to start buying there more important items a lot faster. Do keep in mind thought, that once your support item is fully upgraded, the bonus gold they provide will fall off. |
|
Since patch 8.15, you can only buy 2 |
|
The reason for this is very easy: the item active is so good on This item will make it a lot easier for you to catch enemies and set your team up for some easy kills. |

I recommend you switch from |
