    i don't imagine most human beings have the necessary reflexes to hit Riposte in the split-second before Empower resets jax's auto-attack timer

    yeah that's not doable with my 100 or so ping

    You don't need to have lightning reflexes you just need to watch how they play and take note of when they tend to use it. Some Jax's like to Empower then Leap, some like to just waddle up real close and use it. You need to adjust how you play to how they play. This is pretty standard stuff.

    Even if you miss the timing he'll still take a sizable hit from his auto attacks anyways.

    I think soraka is my new go to ban, in solo que at least. It just seems like when she is around it covers the other carrys ass and makes ganking really hard. She is basically a really safe way to cover bot and prevent them from losing the lane with harass, mana, and heals. So at best , unless the bottom lane is terrible, you will have a draw bot lane and it will be a farm fest. Worst case senario soraka's mana and sustain pushes your bottom lane out of lane and denies them tons of CS and levels.

    This is my position on her too. She lets bad players scrape by.

    And good players do better. My best AD bottoms are Ez and I'm tempted to say Varus in the very near future, both of which can use as much mana as she can pump into them.

    She also helps counter Varus a bit by being able to fizzle his Q entirely if timed right.

    So, is trolling people in bot games a thing now? I just went for a quick Dominion game to get my FWotD on my NA account, and had three people just sit in the base for the last ten minutes, while they spent the first ten minutes running into the bots to die. And they were all level 30.

    The only two people that played were me (level 10 on NA) and a level 17 Warwick who was AWFUL.

    Don't play Coop vs AI Dominion, you can actually lose those. At least with SR there is a very good chance if you play right that you can 1v5 for a win if absolutely necessary.

    These people were deliberately trolling, though. And Dominion is soooo fast with no farming. I just wanted a quick game! If I was going to play SR, I'd play versus people.

    Can Fiora parry Jax' Leap Strike? I don't think she should as it's a spell, but I'd just like to have it confired/shot down.

    I'm just saying purely for FWOTD purposes. They were obviously trolling, but if that happens in Dominion you are screwed, if it happens in SR there is something you can do about it.

    Also for quick wins if you can convince the 4 other people in SR Bot to all go mid and just push for the win you can finish it in around 9 minutes-ish.

    @MrGrimoire I don't believe so. Not in my experience at least. Leapstrike is an ability instead of an autoattack enhancement.

    Jax vs Fiora is my favorite lane. I can just AA harass her (Jax has better HP and Arm, normally ends even) until she pops W, wait it out, then WEQW and take half her health.

    Eventually it just gets to the point (around level 7) that you can Q to her the second she gets in range and just chase her down until she pops W or runs away. Saving E for her ult is a big thing, though.

    My main beef with Varus is I don't like that he gets to do so much and be an AD carry.

    Slow, Heal debuff, AoE immobilize, long attack range(I think he is 575), Bonus magic damage on auto attacks, gets a small attack speed steroid, %health magic damage active from skills that go through minions or is a targetted AoE.

    I say take away either his slow or his heal debuff, he does way to goshdarn much for an AD Carry

    He lacks a completely bullshit escape ability and his passive is super irrelevant in many fights. I'm reserving judgment overall, but those seem like two huge holes that help make up for the other parts of his kit.

    While true that he lacks an escape ability, given his range, high base speed(310) and targetted AoE slow, and potential AoE immobilize I imagine it'll still be slightly difficult to catch him. Though I do like the lack of BS escape, I still dislike how much his kit does.

    He actually doesn't carry all that hard. He has a great AS buff after the first kill but in a team fight he has to get that kill[and then be able to move to the next target] and someone with a proper AD or AS steroid is going to wreck varus's front line before varus wrecks the other assuming you come out of laning about even. And many other AD carries have repositions which make it easier for them to capitalize on that first front line kill.

    So the question should then be "how do you expect to come out of laning". Versus some lanes he is going to be really strong, he can harass all day from safety and can dictate engagements with his move speed. In other lanes he is going to be punished. He seems like he will come out of laning worse than most early game carries and better than many late game carries with a few exceptions for champions he can counter hard. He also suffers the same problems that all non-hyper carries have in that if the enemy has a later game champion he has to win early.

    I think the thing about Varus is his utility makes him consistently strong throughout the game, where as most carries have to wait to get some gear.

    Not saying he's OP though.

    Varus has an 8 second cooldown, 215 base + 1.6 AD ratio skill that shoots farther than nidalee spears and pierces. That looks really really fun.

    his w makes for some deceptive burst damage as well once it's leveled, they will feel like they are doing more damage to you, and then you detonate it with e and suddenly they start running away, which of course 1-2 autos+q puts a stop to.

    Varus feels a little like he's got that really strong ad caster early game but builds into a pretty decent late game AD carry (though not the best) instead of having to shift into a more bruiser roll.
