That's more just unfortunate lane sets. Next time, call for a swap immediately. If your team refuses, point out how you're going to die a lot and Yi's a wicked snowballing champ, then force a swap.

P-EDIT: Agreed. With Corki, you're kinda screwed if you're forced to stay 1v1 with a Yi. With only a Sona of your 3 you said so far having CC, and that being on ult CD, you may have just had a lack of CC overall on your team.

Also, your first problem was choosing Sona and Corki on TT. Squishy champs do AWFUL on there.

[xRECKONERx]

well I wasn't expecting squishy champs, Corki can actually powerbomb the fuck out of TT if he has the right teammates
Originally I was gonna go Rammus but switched to Corki at the last second

[Brandi]

I generally do well with Sona on TT, especially paired with Riven (lately)


We did swap though... after Corki died twice we asked him to switch with GP, which GP obliged, then Yi came down to gank us a bunch.'
Our matchup was not very good against theirs though, they were very tanky and had very good teamwork/support.

[Brandi]

Just went 5/5/13 as Sona on TT; Teammates were a Feeder Mundo and an obnoxious "OMG NOOB@@@@@@" Leblanc.

They had an Ashe, Kennen (feeder) and a Nasus (did pretty well) I died in the beginning like... 2 times at level 1 because I wasn't paying attention and was kinda stressed out :B
They kept beating us to dragon but it wasn't tough for us in the end.

Also I single-handedly took out their Nexus while they were chasing my teammates around. Only me and the minions damaged it ;p

[xRECKONERx]

Brandi Sona is best Sona.

[Brandi]

That's sweet Reck, but I'm not that great D:

Still <333

[RayFrost]

Brandi Avatar is Cutest Avatar.

<3 cute reverse annie

[Brandi]

Thanks!

I need to practice with Annie more.

[RayFrost]

Annie's the most fun of the champions I've played. Probably the only champion I'd take interest in getting a skin.

[Ranmaru]

I actually really like that skin. I might get others of Annie as well.

Also like the Amumu skins. :3

[Brandi]

DEAR RECK:

WE BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF MASTER YI FOR YOU AND DIDN'T LET HIM GET ANY KILLS.



Love,
Brandi, Socio, and Rayfrost.

[RayFrost]

Yi tried to 1v1 me. He lost. Repeatedly.

[pickemgenius]

his build was fuckin retarded holy shit.

[Chronopie]

And the pvp.net has shutdown.

But Rammus, 662 armour, you so troll.

[RayFrost]

double up is an excellent harassment tool in lane

Miss Fortune pretty much has the highest straight up damage of a Ranged AD in a lane with the only exception of Ezreal. Caitlyn comes close, but relies too much on a skill that is easy to predict and dodge. Maxing Double Up not only kills that specific DPS that you gain by maxing W first, but you also rely on a skill shot that either does the regular damage on the target or take the chance of it missing completely and negating the entire point of trying to harass.

Not to mention that if you go into a lane with a good support who is able to lock down champions, Q will not always be in the ideal situation of having that extra damage dealt.

MF works extremely well with Sona. Assume at level 4, Sona uses power chord to slow the enemy Ranged AD. Assuming no extra damage from items (usually Boots + 3 Pots and no AD from Runes/Masteries) and the ability to use Q effectively, MF's AD will be 58.5 (rounded to 59).

Double Up will do: (60 + (0.75 * 59)) * 1.15 = 119.8875 (aka roughly 120 damage). With only the ability to hit the enemy champ with Double Up, it does around 104 damage.

Impure Shots will not only add 40 extra damage (only 30 if Double Up is maxed first), but it increases your attack speed slightly and costs less mana to use.

Double Up seems to be fine here as an alternative, but this isn't the end.

Assuming you're level 4 and have all 3 skills and are maxing Double Up first, you have to keep in mind the mana costs. 75 + 50 + 80 = 205, which is a big chunk of your Mana. This is assuming you also want to be able to get that extra damage in from your auto attacks. Maxing W doesn't increase the mana cost, making your mana much more managable.

Impure Shots is also the strongest steroid in lane. Period. Adding damage and attack speed on a ranged carry while also stopping the enemy from healing.

Double Up is also one of the most useless spells outside of the laning phase.

[Ranmaru]

Servers are down : D

[Espeonage]

for seven hours.

[Brandi]

AAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[RayFrost]

Eu servers are up.

And their ranked games are up.

After the server returns, ranked shall be brought with it.

[Ranmaru]

How do I make a EU account? I mean, how can I play on multiple servers and be able to switch easily?

[Amrun]

Just make a new account and switch your server location for it.

Stuff about MF

Teemo and Urgot probably do more dps too.

Double up is better in a lot of situations imo simply because of the range. MF has dick for auto attack range and there are too many matchups where eitehr you dont want to be that close to the enemy or the enemy doesnt want to be that close to you. Are you really going to walk up to 550 range of an annie simply to drop a few autos on her? That's not a trade you will come out ahead on. (EDIT: Especially as, after checking, annie's range is around 625 on her spells, meaning she'll be able to stun you literally for free). Impure shots is better in some matchups, no doubt (against melee characters, or short range auto-attackers) but a lot of the time you want to abuse the fact that double up can go virtually across an entire screen.

(Also, double up applies on hit effects, which means it lifesteals, which is nice for doran's blade starter or for lategame bloodthirster)

Corki's a really strong laner. I'm surprised to hear a yi beat you in lane? At level 1, I'm 99% sure that with gatling gun and a dorans blade, you can just sit there and blow him up tanks to your 10% extra damage passive. Later on, he'll be able to 1v1 you, so you sit back and spam rockets at creeps, and if he pops highlander to jump you you exhaust him (you did take exhaust, right? Its so good on ad carries, especially when not knowing the enemy team comp) and beat him up anyway. I'd have been more confident that corki would win before they removed the partial blind, but I still think he'd have a decent chance against a yi if he abused him hard enough early on in the lane.

[RayFrost]

Well, keep in mind that reck took w for level one.
