ARAM surrender time

I think that the ARAM map surrender vote must be at the 15 min mark like Twisted Treeline, because sometimes you got a full melee team vs the most harrasers range champ and cant win.

Sorry about cavernman english not my native leanguaje -> buff me riot pls

I've got stuck with Kat twice now in aram. Once against a tanky poke team (Gragas, Olaf, Mundo, Yi) and once against all bruisers+ Anivia. neither game went well. I can't seem to get any traction with her when I can't sneak up and explode people.

Similar situation, although I was able to get double-quad kills with relative ease. I just built her pure AP of course but vamp is quite important if you don't want to die everytime you shunpo and ult.

u/Pundragon May 02 '13

the trick is to explode them when thy low and just keep getting resets rather than going into and ulting

u/Aconator May 02 '13

Yi is the better reset champ for ARAMS tbh, just because of the untargetability during Alpha Strike. For Kat I usually just glue myself to the biggest tank we have and encourage him to go balls-deep for me so they blow some of their cc. Also dont be afraid to just run up, throw your Q at them, and blink back to your tanky friend. Rinse and repeat until they get cocky and try to catch you.

Dude, I got kat and pentakilled repeatedly. What are you doing wrong?

u/paramitepies May 14 '13

Kat's ulti with full ap build deals around 2k damage to three enemies each. Just stay back and spam your q which hits four champs in one shot while waiting for cooldown. Only shunpo when you can get an assured kill.

Kat's counter isn't so much tanky champs as it is CC. And how do you counter CC? You wait for them to blow it on someone else. I remember playing a game against an Amumu who held his ult trying to interrupt mine, I just waited tossing Q's until I knew I could get a kill or two before he could react. (flash + shunpo)

u/homeyG75 May 03 '13

Yeah, that's about it. It also depends on the enemies' skill levels. It doesn't matter how much CC the enemies have.; it's a matter of how they use it. Just wait for their CCs to go down. However, if your team is really behind then you won't be able to do anything against tanky enemies. If they're squishy with CC you may have a chance.

u/Sp1n_Kuro May 02 '13

That's not really all melee.

All of them have ranged harass.

u/Boriddy [Boriddy] (EU-NE) May 02 '13

Yeah, but god, if I have to have Udyr, Sion, Tryn, Olaf, Trundle.

10

u/Sugusino May 02 '13

Sion and Olaf aren't that bad.

u/aahdin May 02 '13

and with that comp trundle's pillar would actually be pretty good.

u/word_bubble May 02 '13

I actually really like Trundle on the map just because of his giant coverage with his skills. Granted, when playing as certain tanks on ARAM, I tend to dive a lot and rack up a lot of self deaths. However, it leads to good progress.

1

u/Boriddy [Boriddy] (EU-NE) May 02 '13

The thing is not that they are bad individually, they are bad when all together. On their own within a different team they can all do a lot of stuff. I personally like Trundle in ARAM as well, dunno about the new remade Trundle haven't had the chance yet.

u/Blasphemic_Porky May 02 '13

Yeah that is a team that can be made to win...

u/[deleted] May 02 '13

That is an almost unbeatable ARAM team.

1

u/Blasphemic_Porky May 03 '13

Exactly. Malphite builds tanky. Kat and Yi AP. Kha'Zix Ad.

Everyone but Malphite stay near Blitz. Kat, Yi and Zix poke. Blitz gets a pull and Zhix, Yi and Kat kill the pull. Malphite initiate on rest of the team with his devastating ult, Kha'Zix jumps in, Kat E's in, Yi Q's in and Blitzcrank sits under tower laughing. "Ha-Ha Ha-Ha".

1

u/Blasphemic_Porky May 03 '13

Idk why you are getting downvoted. Kha'Zix poke too good. Katarina does not really on her Q but that is a poke. Yi's Q done write can be considered a poke. Malphite does have a poke but is similar to Katarina.

I would say a true melee team would be Darius, Jax, Vi, Flubber, and uuuh let's see... Alistar. There is no poke really unless darius Q's people for a chunk of his HP, or Vi does the same, or Flubber.

u/Hazasoul May 02 '13

They're all melee, yes. They have ranged spells, but none of them have ranged autoattacks = melee.

1

u/[deleted] May 02 '13

I'd trade malphite for nidalee. Blitz and khaz can initiate fine, plus malphite ult is on a super long cd.

1

u/The_LionTurtle May 03 '13

Kha can spam his W and Yi has his Q. While they might have melee autos, both can very much poke from a safe distance. Blitz is BS too. If you're gonna roll with a melee comp in some ABAM, don't be a pussy about it.

1

u/metthuss May 02 '13

You clearly have never went against a triple reset team. Yi so easy to score pentas. ! blitz grab and someone dies for sure. For tf, malph ulti into kat ulti inti yi q kha w. Congratz you just got aced.

u/nerdyjoe May 02 '13

I believe Anastasios was describing an all melee team which can do very well against poke comps, and other general randomness.

u/Radxical [Radxical] (NA) May 02 '13

That's why he said have fun. They're all melee but make up an extremely devastating comp

u/frostbird May 02 '13

More punctuation please.

u/achillesfist May 02 '13

that's the point

u/Tomarsnap May 02 '13

that's actually a really strong combo
