League of Legends Champion Guide: Teemo, the Swift Scout

Today, by viewer request, we are going to introduce the most hated champion in League of Legends; Teemo, the Swift Scout. Teemo is either loved or hated by certain players because of his play style or because of his cute and innocent look. Teemo is an AP top laner. He relies on ability power and attack speed as his kit relies on auto attacks.

Champion Abilities:

Passive - Camouflage: After a couple of seconds of standing still Teem becomes invisible and untargetable. Upon movement, the invisibility is lost and Teemo gains a 40% attack speed buff. When invisible Teemo can still be hit by skill shots and other abilities that are non-targetable abilities.

Q - Blinding Dart: Teemo fires a dart that deals magic damage and blinds the target for a short period of time. A blinded target will miss all their auto attacks for the time that they are blinded. This ability is targeted

W - Move Quick: Teemo passively gains a movement speed buff. This buff can be interrupted once struck by enemies. Upon activation Teemo doubles his movement speed. This doubled movement speed does not occur if Teemo is attacking an enemy champion or enemy structure.

E - Toxic Shot: Each of Teemo’s auto attacks deal bonus magic damage in the form of a poison damage over time. The poison damage does not stack. New auto attacks against the target only reset the timer duration of the poison.

R - Noxious Trap: Teemo lays a mushroom that lasts for a long period of time. This mushroom grants a very small amount of vision in its area. Any enemy who steps on the mushroom will make it explode causing damage over time and slow any enemies caught in the area of effect explosion. Teemo will gradually generate mushroom stacks over time. Teemo can have a maximum of 3 mushrooms stored at a time

Summoner Spells

Taking flash on Teemo will help with escaping ganks or chasing enemies. Taking ignite will allow for better burst and Damage over time effects. Another spell that can work for Teemo is ghost. Because Teemo relies on chasing or kiting enemies this summoner spell can give Teemo the extra movement speed boost he needs to keep out of danger or finish off kills.

Runes and Masteries

Conclusion

Teemo is the most annoying champion in League of Legends. Play him at your own risk. Oh, and I guess he makes a decent top laner. If you enjoyed our guide remember to share, like and comment and follow us on our other social media sites too!

League of Legends Champion Guide: Soraka, the Starchild

Welcome to a League of Legends champion guide to Soraka, the Starchild. Soraka is a support who aids allies throughout the game but more specifically keeping her ADC alive. Soraka is almost always played in the bottom lane. As a support her job is the help allies stay alive and to help them get kills so that they become more powerful and dominate the enemy. If you are the kind of summoner who wishes to deal a lot of damage and dual with enemies, the support role may not necessarily be right for you.

Champion Strengths

·         Best healing champion in game

·         Great sustain

·         Global ultimate

·         Long silence ability

Champion Weaknesses

·         Cannot heal herself (only with ultimate)

·         Very easily killed if focused

·         Not always best pick into some team compositions

·         Long cooldowns

Champion Abilities

Passive – Salvation: Soraka will run faster towards enemies with low health. Low health targets will have an icon appear above them to indicate Soraka’s passive is in effect.

Q – Starcall: Soraka summons a star to fall at a targeted location. Any enemies in the area will take damage and are slowed.

W – Astral Infusion: Soraka uses her own health as a resource to heal a friendly target. Soraka cannot use this ability if she is below a certain percentage of health. When an enemy is hit by Soraka’s starcall ability she is healed per champion hit by starcall.

E – Equinox: Soraka creates a zone at a targeted location silencing and damaging all enemies who step inside. After a brief period the zone will deactivate, rooting and damaging all enemies left in the zone.

R – Wish: Soraka heals all allies including herself. This ultimate is global and will heal any ally anywhere so long as they are alive.  Any champion below 40% health gets a bonus 50% healing from this ability.

As Soraka the best ability to max first is W. Healing targets is her specialty so maxing this ability is crucial to her kit. Next is her Q to regenerate health by landing starcalls. Lastly is Soraka’s E ability. Her ultimate should be upgraded whenever possible.

Champion Runes and Masteries

Summoner Spells

Flash should be taken to ensure escapes. Take exhaust to lower the enemy ADC damage while in lane to better assist your allies while crippling your enemies. 

Champion Build

Conclusion

Soraka is a great support champion for new players to League of Legends to pick up and use. She brings great sustain to the game but has trouble finding the right team composition to be made extremely useful. If you enjoyed this guide remember to like share and comment.

Common combos when using Lucian

W>A>Q>A>E>A>R (A = auto attack)

Lucian’s main damage ability is his Q. Max out this ability first for max damage. Next max his E to lower the cooldown on his escape. Lastly comes his W. His ultimate should be upgraded whenever possible.

Summoners spells

  

Flash is always a must for escapes and repositioning yourself. Heal allows for a small heal and movement speed buff for escapes or chasing the enemy. Another summoner spell to consider is barrier if the opponents have high burst champions.
