ZED COUNTER CHAMPION GG UPDATE

ZED COUNTER CHAMPION GG UPDATE

One of the crazier changes from the mid-season update was the one to the Quicksilver Sash (QSS). Then my team is doing a 3v4 in our favor, but their ADC is usually beating my team up.By Andrew Ross 7 years ago Zed is in a weird spot in the League of Legends world right now, and it would be nice to change him up a bit. My struggle with her is that they will send 2 for me if I'm pushing a lane out, I either win or R to get away most of the time. 2v1s just feel so good when you win them with like 60% health left over. The only part of her kit good for towers is E off a minion to get a speed boost, but then you just waste 2-3 autos worth of time hitting a minion.ĭunno, she's fun as hell to play. Her E is great, but 90% for engage/dueling. Any team that has poke really makes her suffer. I constantly find myself getting doubles and triples on her, then our team loses the next fight and we lose 2 towers. She's great at split pushing and as many professionals have stated, split pushing was much more successful last season. She's something like 3rd to last currently. She has like the second highest KDA (below twitch), but her win rate is really low in comparison to other ADC. The problem is she doesn't have the range to close the game out.

I play her whenever I have to ADC, or if I can counter pick someone top. He died, naturally because I have 'the reaction time of molasses,' and that I, 'could have helped but ok just farm minions that's great.' Long boring rant tl dr, Azir players stop blindly trying to make sick plays constantly and just auto attack some people. He runs up to them approximately around the middle of the lane, pushes the enemy adc and support backwards, and THEN follows his soldiers past the ult. He said in all chat, 'you see me making these faker plays and me team not reacting?' I was playing adc and another Azir came to gank.

The last one I played with kept doing it into five people to push one back. It's like they don't even care about if doing the Azir combo is worth it, or the smart play, or whatever. I'm convinced one of the biggest reasons so many Azirs do badly is that they're constantly trying to make them lcsbigplays. I had three Azir mid lanes in a row last night. Come on, people, you're not even trying, at this point.

Go play 200 more games on your champ of choice, then see how the matchup goes.ĮDIT: As /u/Third_Grammar_Reich points out below, all of this data is sourced from plat+ games, so even the people with 1-5 games on a given champ have fairly decent mechanics and game sense, and they've probably seen the champion played fairly often, even if they don't play them, themselves.ĮDIT 2: I'm not a Riven main. TL DR: You likely did, in fact, get outplayed. But it does mean that you're probably wrong when you say shit like 'just faceroll for kills' and 'easy champ, anyone can do that on Riven'. Now, does that mean Riven's fun to play against? Not necessarily. The reason Riven seems so oppressive in matchups is largely due to the fact that if you're playing against a Riven, you're probably playing against a Riven main and they probably know the matchup better than you do: it's straight-up statistically likely. If you see a Riven dumpstering people, they've probably (statistically likely) played Riven a ton more than their opponent has played their champ (Anivia, Fiddlesticks, Lee Sin, Singed, Shaco, Teemo, Thresh, Trynd, and Vayne players also play a shitton of their respective champs, especially Anivia). Now, Riven's average win rate is 51.74% (a bit on the high side), but that's mostly because 34.89% of Riven players have 125+ games on her, and another 23.52% have 50+ games on her.

Riven is rougher to pick up than most of the 'hard' champs (4th, behind Azir, Yasuo, and Syndra), and she caps out higher than a lot of them (also 4th, this time behind Azir, Anivia, and Yasuo). Her average win rate with 125+ games played is 54.27%.įor reference, for other 'difficult to play' champs:Īnd, for comparison's sake, some 'easy to play' champs: Riven's average win rate with 1-5 games played is 43.91%.
