tried a bit of ori against bots to get the hang of new ad, it's not too bad but i'm def missing a shit ton of cs. i'm probably imagining things but i think it took me two hits, turret shot and another hit to get a melee minion once.
ugh
i think i'll be switching to mpen reds for her too, i tested it a bit against bots and dpen just doesn't seem worth it, you lose some early damage but i'd rather have my level 6 burst be higher since early aa harass is basically meaningless now when put against other champions
like dpen i was dealing 38+14/20 on ori and 50+1 on syndra. at level 4 it's 41+22/30 vs 54+2 but yeah getting into 525 range of level 4 syndra for the 3 autos for passive is totally worth it -_-
if riot makes ori the victorious or the challenger skin i'm gonna be pissed
I suppose I didn't consider he was strictly speaking about Ahri's match-ups. He made it sound like a blanket statement. But when he explained, he told the player to move such that the minions would be in between Ahri and Syndra. That plays right into her though, doesn't it?
And like you said, he had Ahri move such that her back was to the river. I really don't understand the reasoning. I dunno, vs. champions with long rage poke that isn't reduced per target hit I tend to separate position myself to force the opposing player to choose between harass and spells to farm. They'll generally choose farm which opens up my own harass.
Oh, and I don't like the way he laughs at the people he's teaching, which he does quite a bit in his videos. The Ahri player took it in stride, but you can tell others were bothered. If he was just viewing random videos that's one thing, but the players he's coaching are paying him. Awfully unprofessional, but about par for "pro" gamers.
i think the other thing he means is that since syndra's spells aren't linear skillshots unlike ahri's, syndra does ok with aiming "diagonally" while as ahri you might have some more trouble than just straight horizontally from the river. i think there was something like that with like blue side bot lane having it easier to harass under turret because they just have to aim vertically while purple side has to do an angle thing because of that big tri rock thingie. not sure about this tho
but that aside, in general i wouldn't position aggressively against syndra unless scatter the weak is on cd or she's low in mana.
and yeah dude's pretty douchy in a way that isn't really funny or educational. i mean sometimes it's actually funny but give it a rest dude, guy pays for 2 hours of your time and you spend like the whole thing making fun of him that's just not useful.
