Dude you might as well say Anivia's ultimate is a skillshot. Circular AOE effects are not considered skillshots. Mao is easy mode and super boring to play.

Maokai's ultimate doesn't reduce tower damage if I remember correctly. Only non-tower sources.

Sapling is definitely a skillshot, eventhough it's AoE. And actually Q is also a shortrange skillshot with mini-AoE.
Q->W->Q feels damn great in peeling... you're safe, my carry. I like that I am basically playing a different support. Only I need gold or I won't be tanky so jungle it is.

Interesting. I guess I always saw tournament Maokais using it to push towers, so I thought it might affect their damage too. I guess it could be used to help reduce the damage you take from baron, though.
Yeah, I think I thought one of the other attacks might also be a skillshot too, but didn't mention it because I figure a close-range skillshot isn't much of a skillshot. Aren't the sapling tosses so slow that hitting someone directly for the bonus damage with them is more difficult than hitting someone with a fast Ezreal Q?Sapling is definitely a skillshot, eventhough it's AoE.

Remember that no one was saying it was super difficult to hit minions or enemies with a sapling, but someone was saying there was no skillshot that makes it worthwhile, and I was pointing out that throwing trees is cool and some people probably enjoy it. The bonus damage for direct hits might not be very worthwhile though. Both the saplings and the ult are unique mechanics so as far as I know that objection someone raised is flat-out wrong.
Oh shit, scy almost escaped time to ult them back towards him for the kill!
While true, landing it is a nice amount of bonus damage that helps separate "faceroll Maokais" and "good Maokais." Though, leading with it to guarantee the explosion lands is also a good idea and worth missing the impact (or leading with it to change their running path).

Tried ultimate squishy killer build.
Failed because people built MR(eventually).
Fml
Rylai's isn't cost effective on her, really. Zhonya's would've been better than the Rylai's.
As for MR, just get ready to pick up a Void Staff when their MR is over the 100 mark across the board; sell the Guise if you need the room for this.
In my head, outrange the R and move left to juke the Q while you guys get the kill. Then she got ulted over. I still should've reacted and insta-Q'd her but I hesitated and then died.

Much better. It seems to me that squishes can work well in TT provided you have tanky teammates who can tie up the enemy tanky champs. Blitz and Shen provided good distractions so I could mash QWER until most of them died in teamfights.
I picked up the Rylai's because I was missing kills due to people running away from the ult AOE. How would the Zhonya's have prevented this? Keep in mind they just ran away completely, not re-engaging once my ult was over.
Dropping the guise for the void staff is a good idea. At that point the 20 mpen wasn't doing anything for me.

1100 games and finally got my first penta off a dragon fight as Corki.
Also shocked scy was on Kat and managed to not pentasteal somehow.

Preferences.
Two of my queue buddies who are non gaffers either whore out the tree in jungle or come bottom and give me support.
His spells require/put him into extremely close range. As a support I just don't think you can invest enough into being a tank to not be putting yourself into a dangerous situation just to do your job.

Why not play him like Leona bot?
Also, I'm really liking Kat now. I never really tried her out after the rework, but I find her a lot more fun to play now. Just got a quadra last game with some assistance from your friendly neighbourhood Shen.

Because Maokai can't give himself 70 armor and MR, or even stun people to stop them from putting out damage.

He uses a TON of mana, especially early game. I imagine this would be quite limiting. His damage is also not great.
Man, I don't think I will ever get to the level of some of you guys with so many different characters. I went mainly Ashe from 0-level 28 right now, and am still pretty nooby. Trying to branch out and am barely learning Ezreal and Tristana. Way too daunting to try out too many other champs, not to mention different positions.
Don't know if posted, but 10 free IP boosts!

A lot of us have played over 1,000 games. Don't beat yourself up. I was terrible until about game 800. I still can't play top or jungle well.
Oh wow that's me.

Her best build right now is Haunting Guise -> Sorc Shoes -> Abyssal.
That's the thing, you're always terrible because you're always improving. I remember in Season 1, I thought I was hot shit and I look back at my victory screens now and see I have like 90 CS in a half hour game and items that don't even make sense

Ghostblade is awful. You'll want an IE on him, and then go straight up CDR and tankiness. You should rarely be attacking, just shifting around between QEQ. Garen doesn't need AS. With IE and possibly a WE he remains a threat the entire game.

Enough to buy 66% of all champions, no runes.
I didn't know that turrets do more damage with every hit.
Of course I wouldn't know because turrets just tickle people past 10 minutes.
13% is good enough for me
And I agree with all the Maokai posts about him being boring. He is boring.
Main reason why I play him: I miss playing boring champions after a long time.
And I don't have to rage at myself when I start missing skillshots such as my Lee sin Qs.

How do you play ranked 3s?
Well. this is one way to make me not play ranked 3s ever again...
lololololololololololololololololololollolololololoolololol
Makes it seem more exciting than it really is!
Wait... why?
35,951 IP. I used most of it to buy my runes since I have only played Ashe and other ADC champs. Only need to buy one more quintessence, and then need to buy cheap champs so I can rank once I'm 30.
So my friends keep telling me that Ashe sucks and I should stop playing with her. I don't know why but I really like using her. Am I just handicapping myself? Should I play a stronger ADC?

If you like her then keep playing her. It's not like there's one ADC that is the best at everything; Ashe has one of the best initiation ultimates for an ADC IMO but lacks a blink and escape. I like to play Jarvan because of his dunks; he has to be pretty low tier but whatever. Crackbaby plays WW and Soda plays Sejuani and they have a ton of games played. Just play for fun and don't worry about "handicapping yourself." Ranked tryharding is for worrying about that stuff, IMO.
BTW since you seem to be on all the time send me an invite for SR so I have someone to play with.
I do like playing her, I just die a lot because of the lack of escapes lol. Also I am still learning positioning and all that, and fail at proper initiation with that arrow. I tend to save it for when I'm chasing someone down lol.
What's your summoner name? I'm usually just idling but I'll add/invite you next time I can.
Corgi the Chloe.
Lack of escapes just means you have more opportunity to learn what your opponents can do, and how far you can push without getting punished. Buuut I don't play ADC so I wouldn't know about that stuff.
Since when did you represent KPOP gaf anyway, crogi?
Well no more normal SR inhouses at least
People cant handle the power
