Against Vayne as Singed you can really only Proxy farm. Try and keep track of her so you can ghost away in time. Take Ghost Teleport and rush Armor Boots. Not much else you can do against her unfortunately. Thats most matchups for singed though and once you get the hang of it he is VERRRRRY rewarding. One of my all time favorites to play right next to Twitch and Darius.

This wastes their time (They dont know where you are since you were just there a wave ago) and its likely Vayne will also go looking. This buys time for your team botside AND gives you time to reset and get to lane and these tiny reset advantages will turn into a real advantage.

The hyper scalers that i can think of that r lane bullies are cassi and caitlyn to a certain extent(as of rn). For caitlyn she is literally useless before 3 items(with boots) and wrecks peoples asses after 4/5 items. For cassi, if you did not get a kill u r basically a sp that is in mid but if u get 1 kill, the penta is coming. So my poiny is, the hyperscaling lane bullies have very large weaknesses that could be exploited.

The rare moments I'm not jungle or mid and I'm in top I play bullies, but I have to say that bullies shouldn't be equal to "you cannot play the game or you'll die", it's an unhealty mindset that riot has embraces for this kind of champions. Lane bully IMO should mean that you have a kit to be hyperaggressive early, but not that it's a free kill if you meet the conditions. It's fine to push somebody on the defensive, it's not fine to prohibit him to play the game if he missetp or he has to burn flash and all of his defensive options.
@louisrobitaille5810
@louisrobitaille5810 2 жыл бұрын
A lane bully just do early game what poke mages do late game. They hit you until you either leave the lane (recall) or die. If you die to a lane bully, you were out of position and have been punished for it. What you described is just freezing a wave, which is a really important mechanic to know. "You can't play the game..." because if you walk up to break the freeze, I'll take 50-100% of your HP to trade, hence "... or you'll die".

@@louisrobitaille5810 Wave management is important and I know that. The problem is not that they deny the farm (otherwise whats the point) or that they force you out of the comfort zone, it's the fact that riot does not give them a healty way of doing that. They overload their kit both early and late. Darius is Darius, I'm ok with a snowballer after all I play assassins, but having an advantage shouldn't mean that your defenses are useless if you make one small mistake (being out of position is just wrong as you said). I'll explain myself better later, I have something to do now.

league has been like this since season 7, they started buffing lane bullies little by little, introducing the new rune system, then gold changes, then turret plating to give such lane bullies more gold, then making rift a strong early game objective to snowball games and open the map befor 20 minutes without actually buffing scaling champs, so, in one side, you have qol changes for lane bullies to spike earlier but scaling champs having very similar power progressions, they even had to buff nasus Q stacks because it was falling behind.

@@Raiko01 i dont think they are useless otherwise their winrates would be worse. Of course you can argue that because there is 5 Champs on each team that equalizes winrates a little but still the difference should be bigger then, i think. Moreover - If you adjusted income to happen faster via buffing minion gold you might even increase that difference because lane bullies can deny you farm early. So they snowball even harder. If you adjusted passive gold income you might make laning way less efficient so you could create a more gank/roam heavy meta. Not sure if this favors late game champs, but it would definitely shake things up.

​@@maximilianarlt2633Winrate doesn't always equals to good latency. Look at Jhin, he is fairly a high damage champ that has a good winrate as of rn, but he suffers thanks to Caitlyn because she can zone him out and poke him out under tower, if his supports tries to engage she can just E, AA, Q and oneshot a Rell with only that, leaving him in a position where he can't even cs because of the constant poke damage he receives from her, thus allowing her to take turret plating more quickly, and get far more ahead of him instead of "falling off" in late game. This makes playing Jhin, a champion with a fairly good winrate, a hell, because none of his good damage output and chase potential can be exploited if he can't even play the laning phase without losing 75% pf his HP thanks to a random Caitlyn spamming Q, E and W under tower.

As Jungler main I LOVE when enemy picks lane bullies, they're always overextended with no real vision. I pick good ganking early game Jungler like Warwick or Shaco and just camp the lane for the first 10 min ruining their early game by killing them 3 times in first 10 min and making them useless for the rest of the game since they have no comeback mechanics.

This is the thing most of the people complaining in the comments forget about! I abuse using champions like darius, sett or renekton, play them so aggresive that most of the time I get firts kill at minute 3 or 4. BUT, I stay in lane to keep farming, which leads to an early gank that takes my advantage away. Most of the time I don't ward, but, that's a bad habit most top laners have when they are winning. Just learn how to play againts them, it isn't super hard.

To my mind, Kled is the perfect design of a lane bully. He can be insanely strong in the early game, and still quite strong in late, but his ability to teamfight effectively is hampered by his entirely single target damage kit. His job in late is mainly to splitpush to try and bring people to 1v1 or 2v1 him, but a smart team can easily take out more objectives than he can

You should make a "why no one plays" for Reksai. I personally used to play her a bit and I found out that one of her biggest weaknesses is that she falls behind EXTREMLY fast, I think she falls behind harder than any other champion. Second problem is that her burrowed state can be a bit clunky to navigate in, without vision you need to either put a word down or hit your q to know where precisely your opponent is. That is what I can think of on the fly. Love your videos hope to see more soon.

4:22 I'd also put Azir in this category if the player actually knows how to play him. His soldiers have many uses, whether it's to bully someone out of lane, help you farm or get you out of trouble with a Shuriman Drift and maybe even turn the situation around if paired with his R, turning his Shuriman Drift into a Shuriman Shuffle. Playing Azir top is one of the most fun ways to play League imo since very few champions including even other lane bullies can actually bully a good Azir out of lane. He doesn't have a way to quickly regen hp or mana, but unless you spam your spells (which you shouldn't really do), you'll never run out of hp or mana. The only champions that have ever bullied me out of lane (gold-plat elo btw) are Olaf, Warwick, and Swain. Olaf and Warwick post-6 counter Azir big time and Swain is just super annoying with his pull that's slightly faster than the time it takes for a sand soldier to form.

Camille is the one exception, and even there, her movement abilities is significantly more versatile and useful than Kennen's, and she still can take much more punishment than Kennen can if she's in a bad spot.

I think teemo is one of the best designed counter picks in the game. He EXCELS against certain champs in lane and teams, but also gets DESTROYED by certain champs and teams. He forces people too learn that lane swapping mid/top is a legit strat that has to be used occasionally, as you don't want to face teemo as a Darius,Jax, or Kayle. But Pantheon, Kennen, Gangplank, and almost any mage top smacks teemo. He is one of the few champs in the game who can go ANY rune, and play to it's strengths which really forces people to watch his build path and playstyle as most teemos play differently. Recently, I have been having fun going hail of blades with nashors rush on teemo top, and it DESTROYS any champ going for short trades.

What I find the fairest about him is that while he absolutely shits on meelee toplaners in the early game, literally getting engaged by them 1 time results in death. If Darius lands one grab on you, there goes your flash. If a Garen lands one q on you, you lose that trade and maybe even die if you get in ult range. I actually really like this because while Teemo makes the lane borderline unplayable for meelee champs, they atleast get _something to do_ instead of praying that laning phase is over quickly. And the reward makes looking for that one opportunity worth it

@@Takin2000 As a long time Teemo main, I'm loving both of you right now. There's also the fact that Teemo, while versatile and amazing at slow defense, and able to play proactively, has trouble playing aggressively at all. Proactive - moving around and strategizing on how to be useful - is different from aggressive - actually being a kill threat who runs at the enemy and hopefully doesn't die unless it gives a greater advantage than his death gave them. And this leads to a lot of tense games if Teemo gets even a little behind. The further behind he gets, the more he has to work his brain, because he's a squishy champion built for ambush, zone control, mobility, and dps, which is a lot of tools, but all ones that come at expenses, such as survivability or immediate solo game turning potential that isn't planned in advance.

And the higher you climb in elo, the less likely those mistakes are too happen, so you often find yourself stuck playing a waiting game for 20 minutes

One of the few champs I've been able to find success against lane bullies is Malphite and Aatrox. For Malphite I run Grasp of the Undying and try to proc as many times as possible even in losing trades but I also run Sorcery as the secondary runes with Absolute Focus sometimes switching between Manaflow Band and Scorch depending on what champ I'm against but Absolute Focus is the key. Once I've got my W to Rank 4 and 5 and if I got a decent amount of Grasp procs I'll be able to withstand most lane bullies damage and deal a lot of damage back to them because getting Malphite below 70% health is difficult when he runs the moment his shield breaks. If the enemy chases me when I disengage they're running into my Casters line of fire and I turn around on them. If they're ranged champs like Quinn or Kennen then I'll just blow my ult every time it's up regardless if I can kill them or not because I will be able to land enough damage onto them where they'll have to reset or die to Q pokes because they will have to blow their escape abilities as soon as they're free from the knockup. While they're back at base I shove the wave in reset and walk back and repeat when the ult is back up. Since the shield and high armor helps ignore poke bullying I can get a decent amount of farm without getting pushed out of lane. Malphite has been my go to champ against most of these lane bullies and it's been effective if a bit boring now. As for Aatrox is just a sustain game and getting a lucky Q hit. Fleet Footwork with Resolve Runes Second Wind and Revitalize for as much extra healing as possible and farm carefully until they walk into enough Q's for me to all in them. Mundo is a good anti bully champ too. Immune to CC all ins and can safely farm with Q unless enemy stands in the way but then that's just free poke damage until you can walk up confidently.

The thought process towards the end of the game confuses me. Kha'zix was never meant to be an early game powerhouse. There are many matchups he can bully, but his ganks are pretty bad and he's far from a top tier early duelist. Most of the "lane bullies" who are in the meta are exactly the kind of champion that's too safe to punish who's scaling is hard to contest (such as Tristana). The most aggressive of champions (such as Lee Sin and Elise) don't play as aggressively anymore (5 camp into crab is the optimal first clear rather than level 3 rush into gank) while Riot continuously chips away at the player's ability to play for the early game and get a quick victory. You can't stack starter itens (double D-Ring, double D-blade, dark seal/corrupting pot) anymore, lane sustain is completely out of hand (poke playstyles are less and less common across all lanes), riot is openly and actively nerfing mid lane roaming, boots of mobility is an actual dead item and those are but a few of recent changes limiting the player's ability to punish scaling playstyles. The most recent jungle changes gave the game a small nudge in the right direction, but haven't changed a whole lot in practice. Lee Sin may be a strong pick, but even Lee Sin is doing 5 camp into crab because conqueror and goredrinker allows him to stay relevant when he is supposed to be weak, not because his main powerspike is valuable. You rarely see level 3 rush into gank, invading the enemy jungle for a kill rather than just stealing some camps when you see the enemy on the opposite side of the map. You describe the game as if we were in season 9 but clearly that is not the case anymore. I don't remember "play safe and farm" to be that dominant since the ardent censer meta.

As a Swain main I think he definitely counts as a lane bully. High burst damage at close range combined with a long range pull and a zoning ability makes it easy to bully your opponents. If they engage you burst them and run, if they try to play it safe you can abuse them to get free health and healing. Even if you get down early you shine most in teamdights so you can recover your losses if you play well.

I think a video over the concept of crit chance and how its executed in league vs other games and how its pretty hard to balance crit for PVP situations vs PVE games/situations. As long as its a mechanic dependent on luck it will always feel jank to play as or against. I had a talk with a few people including a masters adc streamer i watch about an interesting take on instead of crit being the "late game carry" stat/mechanic it should instead be replaced by a better more fleshed out on-hit system where the power curve feels more linear through out the game rather than random spikes based on chance or item interactions with crit (such as infinity edge 3rd item) over items that don't synergize as well with crit. Another possible discussion topic is that of items or runes (and maybe even champions [think blitz W but better executed]) that have drawbacks for stronger than normal effects. Such as the original +100 hp rune -10% dmg till 10min that was removing early in the rune's reforged update. Do you think they have a place in league or should they be relegated to only PVE games?

I understand your concerns and frustrations but I want to point out that crit chance in League actually isn't truly random - at least, not fully. I recently learned that when you don't crit your next hit gains crit chance, stacking until you do crit. And, given crit is by and far most commonly built for DPS, or comes at the expense of weakening other stats or skills, can we truly call it unhealthy? A way I've seen of looking at it is equating 1% of crit to 1% increase in your total AD. Admittedly, nowadays the lines are thinner thanks to CritThality items, but I feel as though the damage and utility curve on those has been adjusted to compensate.

I think a lot of the league player base hates lane bullies because laning phase is is what a lot of players enjoy about league, and it feels like you just don't get one against these champions. You just have to play safe and wait for jg a lot of the time which no one likes. It also feels like lane bully champs get to have their "fun" in the game at your expense and you barely interacted. Like a Renekton got to have fun pushing your shit in all early game and then maybe his pressure contributes to a loss where you barely got to do anything and your team just surrendered. It is one of the worst experiences in league where you felt like not only did you waste your time, but you almost did worse than that since you lost LP as well.

I am a malzahar main since before his rework. I started playing him mid but after the rework, I started playing him top with the thought process of split pushing. I won most games with malzahar top but not because of split pushing as I had thought. I won them through pure lane destruction. I got close to the wave just to empty my spells on it and soon enough the enemy was at their tower. They couldn't freeze they couldn't breathe and they couldn't get close. Out of all the games I played, I lost lane only in a few hard counters such as Irelia. My point is as long as I stayed mid, the only ones I destroyed were assassins but as soon as I moved top I trashed everyone. Lane bullies can be everywhere but top lane suffers the most and I am not sure if it is a top meta-problem or a champion design problem as I have seen top lane suffer from intruders too many times, for example any mage that goes top or many adcs.

The issue starts when champions that hardstomp lanes are allowed to also be hypercarries late. Tristana for example. She is one of the best and safest earlygame adc-s currently, pair her with a Leona and you can basically consider the laning phase won with 2-3 kills unless you misplay it. Then after 2 items the old signature lategame Tristana happens, with resetting jumps and still being super safe with huge range and selfpeel. That just shouldn't happen. A vayne is still kind of like a cannon minion with a superiority complex and a crossbow in the earlygame but becomes a monster lategame. As much as I hate her, I have an opening until her 3rd item to make her hate life. Against tristana, I don't. Nigh impossible to gank or dive her due to her huge jump, extreme burst damage with HoB, and self-peel+i just threw a mountain at you damage ultimate. Xin has a similar issue. His ult makes him a ridiculous teamfighter while his earlygame is literally 'don't miss w and you win', while goredrinker steraks makes him incredibly hard to kill, while still dealing pseudo-assassin damage. These are the problems.

Tristana is pretty strong but literally all you have to do to counter her is stun her. I get it, it sucks that there's an adc in the game who is able to actually do something about an assassin jumping on them, killing them far too fast for the adc to react and mastery emoting/saying something toxic in allchat then getting instakilled because assassin players don't usually have a brain beyond "kill duh adc and gloat that my champ is built to do that and it wasn't based on my skill!!!!" But she's not nearly as op as so many people (who probably mainly play assassins in which case stay mad lmao) who don't play her make her out to be. I honestly find Caitlyn to be a far worse, actual lane-bully-who-is-also-a-hypercarry as someone who actually plays both of those champs quite frequently (Trist is my highest mastery champ (and yes she has an assassin-like playstyle, which is exactly why I'm confused when people say she's busted OP, since anything that works vs assassins works on her just as well unlike certain assassins that literally just go untargetable and you can't do anything to them until their combo is over! :] ), but I also play Cait, Ashe and Miss Fortune frequently and they are much more reliable and consistently strong.) With Trist you often have to use your escape tool to jump in and take an actual risk to get kills before you can use its reset to jump back out while Caitlyn just stands back and puts down traps and then 2-shots people as her support sits with her and peels if someone tries to come close. If Tristana is running in and constantly jump resetting and killing your whole team then your team is probably not focusing her down with hard CC and blowing her up the second she jumps in and makes herself vulnerable, completely removing her from the team fight... and if you were all low, sorry. She excels at cleanup. That's her thing. You can't be frustrated that she's good at what she's made to be good at. Even then, if you're low and you cc + burst her she doesn't get to clean up, she can't exactly prevent you from targeting her. I honestly think most of the people who hate Trist are just buttmad because they aren't allowed to all in and kill her solo since she can ult them away then jump to further the distance. I mean, we have champs like Yuumi who is an enchanter who goes untargetable but people are still shitting their pants over an adc with some self peel. Or people playing Panth support with a point and click dash-stun that lets you cheese from level 1 in lane. Or Zed who has like 2 flashes in his kit and 1 million damage that takes a lot less skill to pull off than Zed mains claim (though he's still a high skill champ, his main combo is not hard at all but the majority of zed mains are manchildren who just want to flame and be toxic to everybody so i get it, they have to say that they're gods). Or Zac who jumps out of the jungle into the middle of the lane and does a shit ton of burst with a single ap item while also constantly CCing you so the enemy support and adc can walk up and kill you. Or... You know. Any of the other strong champs. Trist isn't even the best adc in the game, nor is she the most oppressive. Jhin, Caitlyn, Ashe (who has a built in slow), Kog'Maw, MF... Yeah Trist is by no means BAD. She's definitely GOOD. But have you ever played into Jhin and gotten killed in about 3 seconds level 1 when his support lands a single stun on you and he just 3rd shot, w, 4th shots you and does about 800 damage? I really do think it's less about her being god tier (which she isn't) and more about her just not being completely unable to stop an assassin which other adcs have to out-burst to beat. Varus has a stun and can blow you up in seconds but i never see anybody complaining about him, probably because he doesn't have a jump amirite? Like fr if you want to beat tristana assuming you're not far, FAR worse than the person playing her, CC goes a huge way. Draven, Twitch and Kog'Maw also tend to beat her in lane really hard because of their high damage. Especially Draven whose damage isn't tied to a high cooldown ability in the early game like Trist's E. Caitlyn also does really well because headshot does like, 500 damage and Tristana is not tanky. Xin is mostly annoying for ranged champs because of his ult, so of course a lot of adc players/ ranged players hate him, but he's also just in-meta cause he's a ganker, which means you have to anticipate he's going to gank and as a jungler, countergank or as a non-jungler, play around the assumption that he's GOING to gank you and ward as well as don't shove lane hard while the enemy is there and make it as hard/unappealing for him to gank your lane as possible. If that means not overextending to get a kill, then you have to do that and let the enemy leave and just keep getting CS. Since I don't play matchups where I fight him as much, nor do I play him, i can't offer as much advice but really it's just don't let him get an easy gank off on you and once again CC really fucks him up. I guess also if you're ranged then wait out his ult while the melee champs engage him. If he's destroying your team, it sucks but league is a team game. If your team is worse and you can't solo carry, that's just how it's going to be for that match. Just make sure that you analyse any mistakes YOU made so that you can possibly avoid letting him get that fed next time you fight him. Like trist, i highly doubt there's ever a situation in which nothing you did prevented you from dying. There are a lot of tools in the game and if your team has no cc, that's a mistake. And if you aren't warding anywhere and getting jumped on, that's also a mistake. And if you go to ward alone and get jumped on... that's yet another mistake. If your team genuinely sucks, it's rough but you still need to mitigate your own faults so that you're never part of the team that sucks for someone else.

i somewhat remember that half a decade ago, at least most of these lane bullies still had to deal with mana, or they had to sacrifice HP in order to shove everything hard in your face, trade offs that gave you moments to breathe, but perhaps since the games are now half as long as they used to be, and damage & all game scaling keeps getting cranked up, it can feel like you cant do anything against many bullies if your champion just isnt equipped to handle them. Its almost as if "counter play" is no longer a thought in Riots game design. Just FF15 and go next!

The thing about lanebullies or earlygame dominating champions is that they dont fall off like they used to, games are shorter and their items are better, look at steraks, goredrinker, divine sunderer etc etc. There is barely any room to scale and beat them.

I have resently played a lot of malzahar(after your video why noone plays malzahar) and a lot of my enemys dont punish my bad waveclear and mana costs to much in the early game. After lost chapter I perma push waves and poke with e and have almost perma prio to help with objectives. Most of the the time I get my jungler feed and peel adc or engage on the enemy carry to ensure to win every teamfight. Althought I cant carry that much with malz I win more games with him than with a hyper carry champion.

can you make a video on Noob stompers? I feel there's champs you learn to play againts and almost always beat them but before you do you get destroyed. Teemo for example alot of players usually get hit by Teemo blinding dart and back off, instead of grinding their teeth and tanking it to be in an even bettter position to counter attack, as instead of backing off you head toward's his scape route. ofc its different now sense hi's Q last more and what not of the meta. but i tought it would be interesting to talk about

I always wondered why on earth I was so bad at toplane until a few months back I moved from an Aphelios main to a top main (Camille/Fiora/Gwen). And I learned the hard way how the toplane forces you to have good fundamentals. It's crazy how I went from hating 75% of the matchups to not being scared no matter what the enemy top picks (except warwick and Jax, fuck those). When you properly learn your champions (strengths, weaknesses, matchups, trading patterns, enemy important cds...) and wave management you just accept every matchup as it is and have a gameplan no matter what your enemy faces you with. Camille vs Sett is a great example, I was SOO scared of Sett and really thought he was busted, but slowly I learned every aspect of the matchup and now it is one of my favourite : Respect him and grab every cs you can without putting your life in danger, only go for trades you are 100% sure will be atleast even because if you are both at 30% hp Camille has a better all-in and you will win, he really only excels at long trades. Repeat that until you have your mythic and from this point it is impossible for him to win a 1v1. Even if you can't kill him before mythic, if you didnt feed him it is basically a free lane, but respecting the opponent strengths and being patient is something a lot of people lack (including me before this toplane focus)

Hey Vars, thanks a lot for the video! One thing I wanna say is that you saying pantheon falls off is a little outdated now. The best pantheon EUW challenger (spearshot) says that pantheon actually scales extremely well now. He’s not a 1v5 hyper carry monster, but he is definitely useful when he gets his eclipse and cleaver because he can armour shred the entire team with his Q/E. He can also very easily make picks and plays with his R and his damage is enough to kill anyone squishy with one rotation. Pantheon is almost always useful late game unless he’s extremely behind or the enemy team comp is specifically bad for him. If you don’t believe me then you can ask spearshot himself as he again is the best pantheon EUW

I play Darius and Lillia top and they're both quite the lane bullies on most matchups, but having played both as and against Lillia and Darius I'd say Lillia is pretty fair (except against Nasus and Ornn, they should've banned her) since she can be bullied level 1, has a strong level 3 to 9, weak-ish midgame after one item (so the enemy leaner can realistically catch back up) and doesn't come online as a monster until third item or so. Darius on the other hand is devastating early and his 1v1 never falls off, and he also has a solid teamfight win con on his 5 stack. If steraks didn't exist he'd probably be actually weak in the mid to late game and would be relegated to splitpushing but with that item as it exists today and his easy access to ghost I find him to be just broken against any champions with less than 535 range.

I once played Nasus first pick top, in draft because I’m a bronze beta male. In hindsight I shouldn’t have picked Nasus in first pick because the enemy laner picked Fiora. I have to say that the first 15 minutes of that game were the most PAINFUL 15 minutes of my life to the point where I genuinely considered leaving the game, she was a 600k mastery Fiora OTP top lane that was bronze 3. I literally could not farm as she froze lane and any time I tried to engage I would get poked, poked and then slammed with 800 true damage. I was stuck at under 60 stacks for a long ass time, it didn’t help the fact their Talon was babysitting her too so I got no farm. After leaving lane I was 0/3/1 with 118 stacks and she was 3/1/3 and had 2 levels. We ended up losing that game but I ended with a proud 7/4/9 to her 6/6/3. I genuinely cannot express how much pain I had to go through just to end up losing when I was 2v1’ing her and talon.
