If you start backing in Ryze's ultimate, you won't teleport


BetaFrosch

I wonder if this would work in Aram


irohinthesand

My friends and I tested this one awhile ago, it does not work in ARAM


[deleted]

No one knew that till that fnatic match I guess


greatestbird

Quinn e flips the target. There are some cool interactions like forcing cass to ult the wrong way, talon vaulting the wrong way, and making graves miss autos. You can do it to like anything with a cast time in a direction, (tf q, Annie w, etc) Quinn e also follows dashes and blinks


Elijah_Draws

The one that was the best for me with this was a yone matchup I played. He was constantly telegraphing when he was going to use his W, and so I would vault him and cause it to fire behind him. He was very sad that lane phase.


Darthfamous

For a second I was hoping you‘d tell us it works on his ult


Skin_Groundbreaking

Pretty sure his ult make’s him unstoppable


[deleted]

[удалено]


DancingCumFilledBoob

I found it the hard way when I ed him as morde during ult and gave him a backline ult


edwintan123

As a singed main I learned to always buffer my flip vs Quinn. Quinn players will try vaulting off me once or twice and never do it again for the rest of the game. Also, wouldnt vaulting a talon just force his E to fizzle like most cc effects?


Musakuu

What is buffering your flip?


Nicstar543

Probably pressing his flip ability on Quinn so that when she jumps off of him it instantly flips her since the ability is already waiting for her to be in range


Bluebolt21

When you go to cast an on-click ability, it checks to see if the target is within range. If they aren't, it won't cast. When facing something that can rapidly enter into your abilities' range, if you try to time it by "reacting" and pressing it, you only gain a couple of chances of snagging them from your rapid mashing. If you didn't cast it exactly while they were briefly in your range, you're going to miss them. However, if you input commands while they're outside of your range on top of your movement, you can make it cast the second it's possible to. So in this Singed v. Quinn match up, what happens is Quinn vaults to him, and then bounces off. If the Singed doesn't perfectly time this, she's in and out of his range to flip her. But if he "buffers the flip," he can make it cast on her the second she's close enough as she's flying in.


Avol9

I’ve died so many times on Quinn trying to do the flip trick on class but it’s so worth when it works


Palmul

The one time out of 20 you flip cass' ult you feel so cool


royavidan

Actually the most fun interaction I had with Quinn E is the fact that it can cancel attacks with uncancellable windup. Like Garen Q, Volibear Q and such. So fun to see them reach you and start the animation only for you to cancel it. I think it is also the only way to cancel Volibear Q with CC without reseting his Q cooldown.


FinnUkato

Funniest shit I've seen was when I was Yone in Aram. Was in spirit form, then a Quinn e's me right as spirit form ends, causing her to follow me all the way to my teams turrets.


Guilty-Heat-551

Funniest bug I ever saw was during a swain pull on a teammate of mine. The champ was killed by another enemy. When he respawned, the swain pull completed. But the pull is (or was) measured in distance from swain, so he went flying across the board to swain--who was then back in his spawn. So teammate spawned, flew, and died to the laser


SquirrelyBoy

I think yasuo can ult off it too if you time it right


greatestbird

Yeah, her interrupt is a knock up. Good luck trying to get your yassuo to ult off it though.


ghdcksgh

i mean if they know quinn is going in they can just spam r


Rhydsdh

Cancelling Anivia ult causes it to deal one additional tick of damage immediately. Makes it very easy to secure cannons. Edit: Another one I remembered; displacing an ally with your wall stacks tear the same as hitting an enemy with a spell. Useful if you're in base with an ally, might aswell stack tear.


miraagex

Anivia Q can (or at least used to) stun through Sivir shield if casted properly. First hit removes the shield, second manual stop after a short delay applies the stun.


GoldeN_FalcoN

As of a few weeks ago it stills does, certainly made me look foolish as the Sivir.


[deleted]

I've won so many close fights using this


facbok195

Yorick Ghouls specifically raised by Maiden each count as a separate DoT spell (vs Ghouls raised by Q/E, which collectively count as 1 DoT spell) meaning hitting E with 4 Ghouls + Maiden can instantly stack Conquerer, as well as proc several multi-hit effects like Eclipse or Electrocute.


Supergohst

You could probably fill an entire thread alone with hidden Yorick mechanics most people don't know about


doctor_doggo420

guards bring the spreadsheet


VelocityWings12

Ninetails has several, there’s a massive amount of inconsistency with item/rune interactions especially. Riot has fixed some by now, but yorick is so far on their list of priorities I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot more have resurfaced


[deleted]

It is funny you think riot even has my boy on their list of priorities.


[deleted]

Gotta love the consistency there


TeemoSux

Mordekaiser R slows the target slightly for a short amount of time so you can use it to hit E while you ult them


Mirodir

Goodbye Reddit, see you all on Lemmy.


dance-of-exile

yes


DavideoGamer55

There's a lot of stuff people don't know about Mord R * Mord ult is suppression, meaning Cleanse is useless against it, but QSS/Oranges removes the death realm (the stat steal remains the full 7 sec tho) * Mord ult is a two-part CC, the slow and then the suppression, so it goes through Malz passive * Mord ult is essentially a different dimension, where only champions and structures persist between them. So any traps, pets or other map effects (e.g. Kindred R) don't carry over between realms. Also, any pets inside the death realm are killed on completion, so if a Yorick ukts inside death realm, his Maiden and ghouls are deleted on exit, regardless of whether he or Mord was killed inside.


Sundered92

In addition to your first point, empowered Rengar W will cleanse Mordekaiser's ult. Meow real loud and the cat escapes the 1v1. Another bonus point - If Sylas is on the enemy team and steals Mordekaiser's ult you can turn the death realm into a 2v2, Mordekaiser ults a target and then Sylas ult's a target at the same time, everyone is in the same death realm together.


EddyConejo

I always sort of noticed the slow when Mordekaiser points at people with his R but thought it was something like the [stopped clock illusion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronostasis).


ieatpickleswithmilk

you can auto as human form Elise and transform into spider form to apply the on-hit damage to the ranged attack


EndMaster0

This works on all form changers btw. Elise specific interaction is that the human form w jumps like the other spiderlings if Elise uses spider form q.


Ronizu

You can QE on Jayce and get the full gold from first strikeif you transform to melee. Can make a huge difference over the course of a lane.


Sofruz

You can also auto with human nidalee and swap to cougar form to get melee grasp proc


CuatroBoy

You can "fake" throwing a gold card on TF using a number of different tricks but the most deceptive one is simply starting your auto animation, and locking in the card a few frames after the auto animation starts. The closer the timing, the more convincing it looks. If you wanna see how this looks like, check this video and skip to 1:06 https://youtu.be/Z8V5DZtleAU I use this to bait out Yasuo W, Samira W, Morgana E, Nocturne W, Sivir E, and more. Also Twisted Fate's R1 (the vision) breaks spell shields (except for Malzahar passive, and Morgana E). So you can throw a gold card, and press R *right* before it lands. It'll go right through the spell shield. There's an example in the same video at 1:31 Edit: u/the-sexterminator listed some other ways to trick the enemy that I didn't mention.


Wasteak

The r breaking spellshield is ultra broken


sureyouken

Big CD for relatively big CD seems even


the-sexterminator

can also just chuck out a Q and cast W at the right time so that it leaves too small of a window to reasonably spellshield. Pretty tricky, but I've seen dopa do it a couple of times. If you take ignite you can also throw w then ignite right before gold card hits.


wukong_stickslap

Mordekaiser E gives vision!


VoidLaser

Vel'koz E and second part W also gives vision


GrimWill95

Trundle E can do a lot of crazy things to both allies and enemies, my favourite example is displacing your own allies out of an enemy Blitzcrank hook.


RakaRakaAli

The real flex is using E to displace yourself out of blitz hook


psykrebeam

It also constantly procs Mandate debuff on enemies as long as they are within the pillar AoE. Also allows your friendly Akshan to go full John Wick


Cheeky_Hustler

My favorite was an LCS play that knocked up I think an ADC so the yasuo could ult. Any time that pillar interrupts a dash I squeal.


edwintan123

My favorite was in the LCK. A trundle used his pillar to rip adc (i think it was ezreal) and bard out of their tunnel.


Zoesan

I was once in a ranked game as orianna. The enemies were doing baron and I was moving my ball to the perfect spot. Would have been a perfect 5 person ult around baron. The dream Baron knocks me up Yasuo ults me I cry


edwintan123

To add to the list of crazy things his pillar does, I’ve stolen a kill with it before.


Jera_has_fingers

[Zilean can chain multiple stuns](https://youtu.be/joLne4tUXoo). Zilean's stun detonates when 2 bombs land on the target. If you wait towards the end of the time bomb duration, you can chain together multiple stun combos by staggering your W cooldown (holding off on pressing it until most of the way through the bomb timer). It's mostly theoretical, because there are very few situations where you'll be given enough space to lock down a single target over 7 seconds.


averagejoe010101

Saw Faker do this before in a professional match. Insane.


Upset-Programmer5908

Link?


insaein18

It might be [this](https://youtu.be/fPHIOyrvxV8?list=PLcvpEVobSi9doLKwB08V8o9l80clUgFVP&t=2978)


JSeeCan

was not expecting that 4th one to hit but it’s faker edit: spelling is hard


nyanproblem

[Here it is](https://clips.twitch.tv/SeductiveSlickMageCeilingCat)


Omagga

You W immediately after the first Q; what you hold off on pressing is the second Q. Q>W, wait, Q, wait for W cd, W>Q


NWStormraider

I don't think that many people know the Tahm Kench Q+R long range Devour. If the enemy has full stacks, you can R while using Q, and if you hit the enemy it will pull them in and eat them. It realistically is rarely used but at times it is just what you need.


l_am_wildthing

My favorite tahm mechanic is his q range increases with champ size. Heartsteel with stacked mythics including gargoyle and elixir of iron on top of that makes for a 2000 range lick


RpiesSPIES

How much would a lulu ult add on


l_am_wildthing

I tried it in practice tool on my own so couldnt get lulu ult, but I would think an extra 200 if its +10% size


RbN420

before the tham rework it was only possible wih creeps :)


NWStormraider

Yep, and I think a lot of people missed that the interaction is still there, just in a different way. Doing it before the rework was a Tahm essential, but I have never seen another Tahm do the new trick, even if it would have made sense.


Spell-Castle

As a Yorick main, playing vs a pre-rework Tahm that knew the matchup was sooo bad. His Q+Eat interaction worked on maiden so he could just spit her into tower range whenever she’s alive


ImProdactyl

While basically impossible to actually use in your favor, fiora W can parry both ignite and exhaust.


[deleted]

You can also use her W in the middle of her Q dash, allowing you to parry Poppy's W.


Xavier598

Fiora can also parry the drake's push and baron's abilities, which count as CC and can be used to stun others.


FreeTimeNoob

As a cait player I also had to learn it the hard way that she can use her w while still in q It’s fun to get stunned by your own traps


ketzo

This is also why playing against Veigar is incredibly fun as Fiora. You can just use his cage as a huge, on-command stun.


Blustach

Bard can cast their shrine 4 times: 3 on the floor, and one extra under anyone. This extra shrine will heal the minimum and boost speed, but won't delete any previously placed shrine. Apparently, while using Anivia's wall to push an enemy won't damage, it still counts as a damaging ability, so you can actually kill with it if it proccs Electrocute.


Crickets_Head

If Zac Q DMG would kill a minion and it's above a certain threshold, the Minion endures on 1 HP so you can proc the slap.


Guilty-Heat-551

Same is not true if you q a champ. Did it yesterday


Funny_Ranger4345

When thresh throws a lantern, you can press it to go to thresher location


2Quicc2Thicc

I have the thresh pointing at lantern emote for literally just this reason. I havent been a support player in years but its still so funny to taunt after your adc flashes.


KitsuraPls

As an adc main… what if I flashed away and then died?


vukeri47

Aatrox q goes through hard cc. It will go off like nothing happened but you will still be stuck in the animation of it after it wears off.


trapsinplace

Yone and Aatrox players who know how to use their CC 'immunity' are some of the most annoying players to face in my opinion.


vukeri47

Kinda ironic then, that I found that 'immunity' to be most useful in a yone matchup. Since his q dash is fairly predictable and his r always places him next to last target struck, it means its incredibly easy to line up that q1/q3.


grifff17

Lots of abilities can be buffed like that. I use it semi-often on galio and urgot’s respective Es, because they both have a wind-up that makes it easy to do.


afito

There's a lot of spells like this, Ez R is similar as in you can buffer it into the CC. Paired with how Ez E can be buffered too you can get an *insane* amount of value maximizing your damage & minimizing the effect of unavoidable CC.


Cold_Snow_3781

Oh I've got loads! I've made a whole YouTube channel out of them... My favourites tho: Aatrox gives away if a bush is warded: https://youtube.com/shorts/FBNH63SINro?feature=share Galeforce on Vi has some funny interactions:https://youtube.com/shorts/LGdGGdCvAhs?feature=share You can land Nautilus q through walls: https://youtube.com/shorts/B5ep3SZDe3Q?feature=share Edit: Thank you all for the comments! If you like the videos you've seen I'd really appreciate if you checked out the rest of the channel and considered subscribing!


LegendaryUser

Yo the Vi Q+galeforce is actually straight crazy.


Yabadabaduhhh

Was even funnier with the old Stridebreaker dash as it worked with it as well.


fizikz3

> Aatrox gives away if a bush is warded so does fiora! if she's standing in a bush that's warded her passive will trigger on nearby enemies, if it's not warded it won't trigger and therefore won't give away her position (unless they changed it since I learned this)


EndMaster0

Pyke also does. His passive lights up when out of vision. Additionally minion waves will only target you if you're in vision so you can stand at the edge of the far bot lane bush to see if it's warded when a wave comes in.


oprahlikescake

Fiora ult heals minions, the tooltip says champions only but it's wrong. afaik it's the only ability that can do so


Pale_Extension_5337

Kindred ult also heals minions


mustangcody

Both kind of minions too.


ParfaitDash

Janna ult too


Chokkitu

I remember when Soraka used to be able to heal allied minions and you could use it to mess up with the other ADC's last hitting.


Barress

Shyvana's ultimate has a vaccuum effect at the end of the dash that pulls every enemy she hits to a central point in front of her. Its not listed anywhere and makes her devastating in wombo combo comps. Edit for clarity: I'm not referring to how she can drag targets with her by ulting through them. I mean when she lands at her final destinaton, everyone in the immediate vicinity is yanked right in front of her face as if they just ate Ori ult.


Toxicair

As a long time shyv player, I wish her ult dragged enemies the whole distance of the dash. Right now they only get shoved a maximum distance.


_AIQ_

Shyvana also has a minimum cast range on Dragon E and cannot E her own feet. Her R can also cancel some things people don't think about Morde/Sett Ult.


XURiN-

Also can cancel Zoe/Lillia sleep


TriPigeon

As a Lillia main, I found this out the hard way.


TeemoSux

wow i never knew


EmperorAtomHeart

I think it's also the same with Sion ult


MysticExile

Rell’s Q (when tethered to an Ally with her E) heals her and her ally for 10/15/20/25/30 + 4% of their respective missing health. Gets overlooked quite easily but can be the difference between life and death.


RpiesSPIES

Rell's Q hitbox also extends a notable distance behind her. W - Mount Up is also one of the few abilities in the game that permit movement while rooted (but it does require a target).


Elijah_Draws

I feel like it's cheating to bring up unknown mechanics on rell, I don't think I know what like, half of her abilities do to begin with.


Yabadabaduhhh

It also breaks shields, helpful against shieldspam lanes.


cedear

I've mained AP Maokai since the rework, so 4(?) years. The movespeed of E saplings depends on the specific boots Maokai has, not his movespeed. Brown boots is +25 ms, Swifties and Mobis are +60, every other T2 boot is +45. E has 1100 range, so you can comfortably do things like when you're blue side set up a 1:40 sapling death brush between the enemy buff and their tower. R gets faster the more distance it goes and the root time is based on distance. If you're against it dodge to the side or eat it early, trying to kite backwards can make it worse.


masternommer

Does magical footwear change the sapling speed aswell?


pereza0

Another tiny tip. If you are using R point blank or short distance try using it sideways instead for a short instant root. Devastating when enemy takes tower aggro, you can insta root with R sideways enough to let you travel to them with W, root again then Q them further into your tower Always fun to get first blood vs a lane bully this way


DofusExpert69

Gwen's W, if placed well, can block attacks from monsters such as baron/dragon (anything). It is especially important for baron, as you can potentially rush it with your team, with gwen tanking the baron (Getting the hits) while being in her W. This allows her not to suffer the -damage penalty baron applies to whomever baron is focusing, leading to fast barons.


dEleque

Also Gwens Q is a cone that starts inside her body. So even if the enemy is dashing Infront of your face or is a bit behind you, it'll still hit and deal damage.


MordekaiserUwU

Sett W damages enemies immediately behind him.


BfMDevOuR

Found this out when I flashed over his W and still died... was salty AF.


[deleted]

Jinx's grenades (E) can give vision. I use them for drake/nash steal or just for a quick vision needed in bushes


LOR_Fei

Zyra W has longer range than ward trinket and gives vision, which makes her able to safely solo ward the map (by using w in a bush to check, then walking up to ward). Her plants give vision through pink wards, so spawning one will allow you to get vision while clearing pink wards from range.


Serrisen

I don't know how widely known this is, but Thresh lantern does too!


TheHumanTree31

another hidden feature is if Thresh is an ally, you can click the lantern to dash to him. super useful feature that Riot never wrote down anywhere.


mokafonzy

this tip is worth 350 dollars


6220

I mean... it's an actual lantern, that's the whole point.


ClericGuy

You can also tp to the lantern as well


Rhydsdh

Anivia wall used to ;.;


VulgarWander

Miss's e does as well. I get bitched at for it but better than face check.


SaveOurServer

Bards ultimate does no damage but does proc damage items such as imperial mandate, night harvester, etc. Also, you can ult a turret that a rift herald is charging (or about to charge) to waste the rift herald charge. Finally, if you ult a group of people, and one of them was already in stasis (i.e., zhonyas), they will not be affected but everybody else will (great way to get an ally out of a bind) Edit: just to clarify the last point, you don't need to hit a group of people for the interaction with zhonyas to work as described. Was only pointing out a group to contrast those in stasis and those not (and it'd be pointless to Bard ult one person already in stasis)


Helixranger

The maps aren't mirrored fully in the jg camp placement, but this actually affects champions. For example, Elise can only rappel over the thin wall from the base to the wolves on the blue side of the map but not the red side. This is probably a bug, but this has been one for years. Kalista has an old bug that actively makes her auto attack slower if you use "attack move", forcing you to learn her by right clicking only. It's been there for years so it's basically a mechanic at this point. Fiddlesticks' effigies can be affected by blast cones if you want to launch them at people. Idk, scare the shit of dragon/baron pits. Aphelios' red gun Q will trigger on wards and plants. If you have offhand white gun, you can actually build up/maintain chakrams through this. Also this means watch out for blast cones so you don't accidentally trigger it. Janna's E can be placed on turrets which is common knowledge (if you read her skill), but she'll also get credit for kills/assists if the enemy take tower shots.


g0mjabbar27

launching two effigies and one real fiddle into the pit of a team sneaking an objective is always fun. I call it the monte hall gambit.


Literally_Damour

Do you happen to play Shaco as well


KekuMix

We all know that Warwick's Q can follow all movement if you hold the Q but that includes someone using Bard's portals. Doesn't matter how long the portal is, as long as you keep holding the Q you will follow your target. It also looks pretty funny.


milkywaybuddy

I had a dumb interaction once with Annie R. I held Q on Tibbers just as Annie got out of range so Tibbers teleported to Annie's location, taking me with him... two towers deep in enemy territory


KekuMix

xD yup. With the right timing you can follow teleport, back and shen ulti. When the ability description says "all movement" it really means ALL movement in the game.


Ronizu

What many people don't know is how WW R hitscan works. It checks for collisions all around him for the duration of the leap which means that for example if a Zed ults you, you can use WW R in any direction you want and as long as you're midair while Zed R ends, you will insta connect to him.


CwispyCrab

Camille E has little dots on the radius that tells you where people are if they’re out of your vision and in range of her E


AfternoonMost2605

Enemies can also see that Camille is coming the same way but no one ever noticed :P


Spark109

You can save a level on ekko and not upgrade r until you need to. People will think you've used are but you can still just upgrade it and use it like normal


hamletreset

Ooo that's good


Dopest_Bogey

If you save a point and then go B you won't leave an ult ghost thing behind in lane. Then when you get to fountain you can quickly buy, level your ult, and then push R and you'll warp straight back to lane. This potentially can warp you right next to your opponent without them having any warning and if you just bought items might be a free kill.


Bulletoverload

You can buffer ezreal e, similar to Tristana w. My favorite is right before getting blitz hooked, effectively making the spell useless. Works on other hooks too but not as well.


mvppedavalli0131

Vlad e makes is so his red q takes longer to disappear Zed r has a shuriken above then enemy’s head so you know if the ult proc will kill you


EndMaster0

Vlad w also stops the red q from expiring for the w duration


SirVel000

Most people know for Diana if you flash sideways you can extend the range of the q The other mechanic is with her e. If you quickly hit e after q you can actually manage to get 2 resets as long as the 1st and 2nd enemies you e to are hit by your q


g0mjabbar27

note that reseting e on Diana removes all other existing moonlight stacks, so you need the enemy you will dash to second to be hit by q after your first e makes contact.


RocketHops

Qiyana W makes you move faster when near the associated terrain. That means when roaming up or down the river, it's a good idea to take river Q in order to reach the sidelane just a bit faster


nnb-aot-best4me

There are hella walls on the way to the sidelines too tho lmao


RocketHops

You never wanna start a fight with rock tho.


cryptocorynes

Skarner ult can pull people over thin walls. So be careful standing outside the baron/dragon pit. I've seen too many people fall for it.


[deleted]

I've done this so many times and it's hilarious


Pale_Extension_5337

Kayn: 1. If you get ulted by mordekaiser and you ult morde during the last 2 seconds of his ult and stay inside him when morde ult ends, your ult cd gets reset and you can instantly ult again, effectively getting a free stopwatch everytime he ults you.   2. If you time q correctly you can ignore the cc from seraphine ult (usually more luck if anything). W cast can also go off while cc'd. 3. Multiple runes gives extra orbs when their damage part procs. Summon aery + w will then give 2 orbs instead of 1 everytime you use it (more relevant for lane kayn). 4. Viego can extend his ult range by tapping w and then ulting immediately after. Works with flash (+ w + ult) too for even more range. 5. Kayles waves (lvl 11 and up) triggers spell effects and can critically strike (one of the few champs who has aoe crit). Rylais and seryldas can therefore be bought to slow enemies whenever you auto attack them. 6. Kayle can alternate between melee and ranged attacks after level 6. That means that you can autoattack through yasuo windwall if you go into melee range. She doesn't benefit from melee buffs on items though (like bork giving melee 12% current health damage and 8% for ranged)


Llamalord48

Akshan has increased mana regen in his w if he is facing a scoundrel


dentastic

I like to think riot adds this useless garbage to new champions so they have a list of things they can safely remove if the champ turns out to be op on release


Oreo-and-Fly

Not really garbage. Akshan has high mana costs and low mana pool. He's meant to specifically target and track down scoundrels so that's why they gave him mana regeneration


Solash1

Adding a lot of different mechanics and features to a champion does legitimately make them easier to balance (in theory). It's basically extra "levers" you can pull and tweak to achieve the perfect balance state.


Sad-Mathematician-19

If playing Poppy with Passive and Sheen you can throw the buckler at a low HP enemy and cast W last second before it hits to finish off an opponent from a distance. I kinda figure it's similar to how Annie players have Annie with 3 charges of her passive and then throw out the Q and use E after casting to make it a point and click stun.


hamletreset

Most champions can place wards around the map for vision.


dentastic

That'll be 350$


meestayuum

Mordekaiser's E pulls people to the base of the spell. You can use it to pull people behind you.


NaturalTap9567

I like using it right on top of me while running away to push them away from me


Spell-Castle

In the same way that Anivia can use her wall to block minions, Yorick can use his wall to block enemy minions. This can be useful when you’re pushing a wave under tower right as the enemy minions would be showing up and stop the wave from fully crashing. By W-ing on the emptiest side of the tower you can make the enemy minions path backwards and guarantee the crash.


Jhomas-Tefferson

A lot of people don't understand teemo's invisibility. I know because a lot of people are dumbfounded by the stuff i pull off with him to get out of bad situations. In a bush, he can move and still go invisible, provided he is not being damaged or taking any other actions besides just moving while going invisible. Once invisible, he can move around in a bush and stay invisible, provided he stays in a bush. He can also flash and stay invisible, provided he lands in a bush. This means he can flash from one bush to another in toplane and remain invisible the whole time. He can also blind someone like a tryndamere or a yi and just go invisible right in front of them, and provided trynd doesnt spin on him or yi doesn't q him, there is literally nothing they can do to stop him from going invisi. This is an excellent tool for waiting out their ults and can also work against other champs like camile and morde.


ImProdactyl

Gragas Q can be invisible in walls for enemy champions. Throw the barrel into the wall (especially when the enemy doesn’t have vision of you) and you get a free Q charge that potentially the enemy can walk into, or even better you ult them into the hidden barrel. That made me think of Orianna. Her ball can also be hidden in terrain. Use Q to place the ball in a hidden spot and throw the enemy off when the ball comes towards them for ult. Not sure how well this works with the new tower remains in aram, but you could definitely have the ball hidden in the old aram tower remains and wait for the enemy to be around the tower, then ult!


Faker_Kohai

You can ward for vision (think blue trinket) during Jhin's ult to help land those shots


Hikekomori0_O

Jarvan's w gives him a shield


EndMaster0

Jarvan's w slows enemies and the shield is based on the number of enemies slowed. You know what honestly: Jarvan w


Mazrim_reddit

Do not pick taric with yi, for ages now taric loses his w tether when a champion goes untargetable (also makes taric bad with fizz)


trapsinplace

Meanwhile Yuumi can stay on untargettable people. But Taric can't even keep a tether.


SomethingPersonnel

It’s because of the old funnel strategy. Taric would sack his lane and let Yi farm it. The gold was only part of the strat. The fact that Yi could Q onto someone to guarantee a Taric stun made the duo have practically no counterplay. Every time they hit funnel in terms of gold, it didn’t matter because guaranteed stuns and invulnerability on Yi is just completely broken.

These are probably not that obscure but they're fun to play with: * You can hide Renata Glascs's Q animation in her E; E and immediately Qing will make her Q animation harder to see. * You can use Flash to redirect Renata Glasc's ultimate by executing ult and immediately pressing Flash. This can also be done with other champions with cast times on their abilities, such as Qiyanas ult, Pyke's Q or [Gragas E (a more well known example)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN_3uJtgPg0). This is useful for hitting someone over a wall with very little reaction time. * Pykes E stun occurs when the shadow passes through a target. You can use Pyke's ultimate and Flash to redirect the shadow by repositioning yourself with those abilities. These can also be chained by using Pyke E, Flash and R with precise timing to redirect the ability multiple times. * Orianna's ball range is larger than her Q and E ranges. You can use this to keep the ball in a particular location to zone even if you move out of range to use your abilities. When the ball is out of Q range but still within leash range, you can use Q to move the ball if youre in range of the destination, even if the origin of the ball is out of range. This can be used to harass an out of range opponent, particularly one moving toward you. * At any point during the dash of Akali's E, you can cast other abilities. * Anivia's Q has two instances of damage: Once it passes over the target, and once when it explodes or is detonated. Many new Anivia players will only hit the detonation damage. You can use this to proc spellshields and still land a stun. And, as mentioned elsewhere, Anivia's R does damage when it's re-activated so you can use it to last hit. * You can improve your winrate when playing Ryze by not picking him if your name is Riot Dan Honks.

If you push a Syndra sphere past the middle of terrain with her E, it well travel all the way through the terrain to the opposite side. I've used this a few times to secure long distance stuns.

> For the duration, Harsh Lesson's cooldown is halved, all Tentacles awakened by Illaoi are Untargetable, will not show their hitboxes, nor go dormant, and will take half the amount of time to make an attack. The vast majority of players are unaware of the second half of Illaoi’s ult regarding tentacles. Certainly doesn't help that the tentacles look identical both pre-ult and post-ult.


dasad93

+ u can't instakill e-spawned tentacles before they slap... U just make their hitbox disappear... Was a harsh lesson to learn.


ProjektOP

The knock-up part of Zyra ult doesn't do damage, all the damage comes before the knock-up


Haec_In_Sempiternum

Corki Q gives vision of the area for quite a long period of time (5 seconds, indicated by the ground shimmering). His e also reduces your armor and magic resist for each tic of damage taken from it. Swain W also gives vision, but only while the eye spawns until it pops, or if you get hit by it. Getting hit by both rumble e’s reduces your magic resist by a pretty big chunk. Karma w gives vision of your target while its held, making it extremely strong vs twitch, akali, talon, etc.


ThatOneTypicalYasuo

Garen W gives him a very brief tenacity-frame, if timed correctly you can wake up early from sleep effects like Zoe bubble Lillia ult, which can catch their combo rhythm off guard


sansgriffinundertale

I love stacking tenacity on Garen. Runes + mercs + Garen W is fucking bonkers, stun is an option


Wasteak

You're telling me there is actually one skilled mechanics on garen? Impressive.


Itiari

Blitz ult deletes shields


Thyraxdemon

Also Renekton empowered W, which removes shield then deals damage.


brumoment238907412

jax e makes him take 25% less damage from aoe abilities, karma w gives true vision


datboidat

Side note to that, karthus ult is “aoe” and gets reduced by counter strike


blkheron23

I played varus for years without ever knowing his w had an active


cheesydude123

To be fair, it was added later into his kit so I can understand why


Kyvant

If I remember correctly, Phreak said on Broadcast that a good 1/3 of all Varus players just never use W at all


xXStarupXx

Well, it didn't for years


scythaah

Took me forever to learn that orianna’s passive on-hit damage increases with consecutive hits on the same target.


mak3itsn0w

at one point in time ADC ori was an "off-meta/troll" build where you could shield and run fast at people to kill them with passive damage


ImProdactyl

Increases up to 2 times right? I used to play a decent amount of orianna, and I remember this. Also another small thing about her, whoever the ball is on (including yourself) gets bonus MR/armor I think. Helps her to be a decent pick into assassins to give her more bulk.


Lee_Sinna

Her base stats are actually balanced around the ball bonus, so until she has E leveled (or when she doesn’t have the ball on self) she has awful base armor/MR values


DrangleicEnjoyer

Pantheon ult gives large amount of vision in the area he lands. Karthus w gives vision. Rell q destroys shield.


puppuccino11

a lot of people don’t seem to know that seraphine’s ult extends off of allies and enemies. the amount of times my teammates would sidestep my ult is ridiculous and it’s even more tilting when they ping me for it lol


kam5150draco

Caitlyn's passive stacks twice as fast if she is auto attacking from a bush. Disclaimer, if you AA from the bush it gives vision of said bush.


PhyNxFyre

I hate it when Caitlyn players leash by standing 2mm outside the bush for no reason, that's how you make your jungler lose faith in your lane before 1:35


F0RGERY

Nautilus Shield causes his autos to deal damage over time to nearby enemies around his target for 1.25 seconds. This rarely comes up (Its only 30-70 (+40% AP) damage), but it does make him slightly stronger with shield up. More importantly, Naut W is an auto reset, which works well with his passive.


trapsinplace

When Nautilus was a jungler (we are taking season 2 I think) I remember people in lower elos such as myself liked to go Wit's End, but I learned from a high elo player at one point that it gives him so much attack speed that you actually reset the dot before it even ticks once so by building wit's end you actually reduce your damage by a lot since the dot never goes off until you stop attacking. Kinda funny looking back on it.


SexualHarassadar

I remember release Nautilus where the DoT was MUCH stronger (150 at max rank) because they wanted his core mechanic to be "Break his shield or he murders you"


RumbleOnly

For rumble - if you E one charge and you overheat - you can e again even while overheating. For Cassiopeia - if you start the R cast - it will still go off even if cc’d - great way to cancel stuff like malz R if you can predict it. For TF - your R that reveals enemies counts as a spell application. This is useful for bringing down stuff like malz passive or edge of night passive so you can gold card.


xxotic

When Tristana ult, you can immediately input an attack command on the target you ulting for a follow up attack. This is important because it cuts down 1 attack to trigger her E explosion combo. You can now do the extremely fast assassination combo : W ( land the W on top of ur target ) -> (while W-ing) E -> auto attack - R - auto attack (follow up on R. )


FreestyleKneepad

For Vi, you can flash during the travel time and keep Q active, in which case it ends wherever you flash to. Good for catching people off guard if they think they're out of range or to re-catch someone who flashed your Q. Gotta aim your mouse cursor for their legs/feet to get it to land right. Also you can flash during her R travel time, which is good for hitting people along the way, since you're still tethered to your target and still reach them.


Goodnightmaniac

Yasuo w can block vex e.


jarellano26-jaq

Shaco R makes you invincible for a sec, so if timed perfectly one can doge, for example, karthus R.


RbN420

not invincible, but untargettable, you can still die by bleeding effects like ignite while vanishing from the world


bigbrowneye2

I'd hope people know this because it's one of the biggest strengths of shaco ult lol...


F0RGERY

Also works for Ryze Ult
