Kassadin is one of the few champs I feel comfortable taking Mid Lane and having a decent chance of doing well, if not in lane, then at least through roaming to other lanes.

I've been playing him off an on even before his most recent re-work. I've been called on to do mid duties more of late so I've dusted him off to try and terrorize the Rift.

It is hard to described the differences in before an after the most recent rework. His mobility is definitely lower. His ultimate feels clunkier. It is harder to get in position to insta-gib someone and his chase potential while still... Read More

Assuming I have all the math right, this should be a fairly complete list of the possible cooldowns on most of the summoner spells.

It is a lot of information that I wouldn't expect most people to encode. This is more of a baseline that I can work with to distill down and gave me a chance to play with tables.

It is interesting information if you think of say Sona running Flash and 3 points in Summoner's Insight and wearing Enchantment: Distortion on her boots, she can Flash Crescendo your team every 3 minutes and 30 seconds, which is a big difference compared... Read More

Teleport

4 min (240 second) cool down if you Teleport to a tower

5 min (300 second) cool down if you Telepoort to anything else

Flash

5 min (300 second) cool down

If at all possible call out the timings when any enemy champion uses one of these abilities.

Look at the game clock and mark the time. When you have a moment type in chat Vayne Flash 12 (which would mean that at 7 minutes into the game Vayne flashed and it is going to be down until 12 minutes into the game.)

The math on that:

Game Time = 7 min
Flash cool down = 5 min

Vayne's Flash will be up... Read More

Swain

Is an AP mage that can serve as a top or mid laner. He has good catch potential with Decrepify and Nevermove and he can tank and deal a lot of damage between Torment and Ravenous Flock. He does take a while to ramp up in lane, but once he is online he has the potential to take over a game.

FalseoGod has a really good guide to get you started with Swain so go take a look at that for an in-depth overview of the Master Tactician.

Quas is a god on Swain so look up some videos of his Swain play if you want to see it done right.

You can tailor your runes... Read More

Slow-pushing is a way to be in two places at once.

If your minion waves are equal, you can start a slow-push by killing off 2-4 minions in the enemy wave. The more you kill the faster the wave pushes.

You can kill off the entire enemy minion wave if your minion wave is already missing some minions.

You generally start a slow-push in the mid to late game when your team wants to go for an objective.

By building up a large concentration of minions in your lane, you don't have to be there to push out enemy minion waves, your minions will do that for you. This gives you the... Read More
