wHAT'RE some tips to successfully land Vi's Q when ganking?

No easy way for that, I am afraid.

Know what your opponent is capable of. Try to predict their movements, but if they are not that good, you are just going to outplay yourself. If their movement is unpredictable, you can consider going in with R instead (if it is a guaranteed gank) and use Q to get them once they try to escape.

Skilled players are rarely going to get hit by Vi's Q, unless your teammate makes use of his skillshots as well, which should be the whole point of ganking, after all

 

[Sofo]

Can also just use Q to follow up on CC if you are ganking a lane that has CC.

Chaining CC on an ADC make it really frustrating for them!

Learn how to charge q-release-flash.

Once you learn how to do this, your ganks almost always net kills

I usually walk in to lane, charge up the q and then wait for the enemy to make their move before I let go of q. Usually they will either use a movement ability or blow a flash, and that is the best moment to try and land the q or give up on the gank.

you mean that flash out of range, range extension trick ?

Nah, leave him worthless. I would have no issue with them completely removing him instead of reworking him.

Actually, if they pull a Sion, then maybe. But it better be a total rework.

Played a match last night with Miss Fortune and the other team had Rek'Sai. Three times they came to contest dragon and I popped my ult right into the dragon pit as Rek'Sai burrowed in. All three times the result was the same and I killed Rek'Sai as she came into the pit and we secured dragon. On the third time their team surrendered immediately after. It was pretty funny.

Rek'Sai and Azir seem to be the most out of control champions right now. Yeah, the assassins are annoying, but Rek'Sai and Azir are on a whole other level. Azir can blow someone up pretty much outside of their vision range while staying extremely safe. He has stupidly strong engage and has no risk. For everybody that complained about Ziggs stalling stuff out, that little bomber has nothing on Azir.

Rek'Sai needs a love tap to her damage output.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Her damage is getting hit pretty hard.

Ah, nice. I missed the patch note, I guess. I'd like to quit wasting a ban on her. I don't mind having a high damage jungler, but when you pair it with that amount of utility and mobility, she becomes unstoppable in competent hands.

For crying out loud, no Fiora still.

Fiora got strong to the point of being nerfed, meaning she found a niche and is likely on hold forever like Kayle.

Fiora got strong to the point of being nerfed, meaning she found a niche and is likely on hold forever like Kayle.

Fiora is just a silly counter pick now. Certain match ups she can't win, like Pantheon, and others you pick her because she's auto win, like Nasus. She's 100% a feast or famine champion. If she gets ahead of you, you're in for a long game. If you're playing as her and behind, you're crazy impotent. I guess there might be a place for champions like that, but it's rough that she has so many match ups that are either so tilted in her favor or against her. Not many "skill match up" lanes with her.

She used to be my highest win rate champion. Not sure why, but I've been on a little bit of a slide with her lately. I think it's all the stupid AP tops right now. Her Riposte is garbage against them, and they all seem to have significant escape from her gap close/ganks while she is very vulnerable to ganks herself.

I was bullying a Lee Sin last night with her though. I started Long Sword and pots and had an easy first blood. Do you guys generally start Doran's Blade with her? Most times I do, but I'm starting to like Long Sword to get a hold on the lane as early as possible.

Edit: I think that more than anything explains her high win rate. People know when to take her based on the top lane opponent and she doesn't get picked up as often if it's a bad lane.

Why would you get rid of a perfectly good item?

 

[Kotetsu534]

This doesn't work with Vi's Q (if you mean releasing Q then trying to Flash during it, like you can with Shen's E). What you can do is walk in while charging up your Q, then Flash, then release Q (very quickly so they have little time to react). Even at extremely high ELOs few can dodge it if executed right. Of course, you can only do it once before you hit 6, so you gotta make it count.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

One thing I wish Riot would clean up is the accuracy of indicators. I noticed last night while playing against Xerath that his range is actually longer than his indicator and you take damage despite it looking like you're in the clear. Darius has the opposite, where his E actually pulls in at a slightly shorter range than the indicator. Plenty of abilities in the game seem to have this problem.

Guqin Sona skin was made a looong time ago.

We need more Sona (ultimate) skins to make up for this travesty.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Too bad, you're getting dubstep Sona instead and not getting any skins for a year or two afterwards

 

[DeadNames]

I mean Sona already has plenty of skins

Jinx/Zac/Yorick cry in a corner

zac and yorick have better things to cry about than not having skins

like how they're crap champions

Nobody cares about the toxic pile of trash that is yorick.
