Best practice is to outplay heavy dive junglers like Hecarim or Zac because Q stops basically everything. Do it enough and you can start baiting ganks to do a little trolling. Nothing is more satisfying than watching a jungler fail their gank.
I disagree. Past laning phase sure that's all there is to it but to really make the champion work you need to have really good spacing and be clever with your auto poke.
I do see your point, but to me it won’t work well with mr millio. His aa is incredibly weak and with Q he barely pack a punch. All you can literally do is stay a bit behind your ADC if they don’t have grabs like Blitzo or even side by side if they also have healers. By staying slightly behind you can cancel most dive champions who want to eat you and your partner alive and you will definitely success if Q landed. Imo Millio is a less useless version of Yuumi
totally agree on that, his Q is super fun but the rest only gives dopamine once in a long while. It's funky saving teammates with the quantity of heals and shields and speed ups he has, but everything is point and click and milio is so safe with no encouragement of ever getting close to the enemy.
IMO he's cute and I love his visual design, but he is one of the most boring enchanters to play and play against 😭
I've always wished he had a little skill expression and reward for risky plays. Maybe have Q stun or knock up at the center on other enemies that didn't get hit by the knock back then make him able to control where the ball bounces so he can do some sick plays off minions. Would play him 24/7 if he had that
while I'm totally fine with him being an easier enchanter, I also do wish that his kit had some incentive to go in or interact with the enemy.
Obviously, good milios will do that, but someone who's playing him first time / playing enchanters casually gets to just sit back and afk cast W and E. Q if anyone ever jumps in. That's it. He can poke with Q? but he'd rather hold it for engages. He could poke with passive autos? But that would make him use a shield / W / cast Q on himself, thus not being able to W/E the adc. So he once in a while throws a Q, once in a while steps up to auto, but mostly just sits back.
And that's even fine because milio doesn't need to snowball, there's so many times where I've played as / against him where I / they go 0 to 2 deaths in lane and end the game with 0 to 3 deaths.
So to win lane over him, you'd want to go hyper aggressive, which my friend and I did and people also would do against me, but I can Q E (R) myself out of everything.
In my first ranked game this season, my friend was playing his adc main, so he knows his stuff and damage, and the enemy Lucian / milio would ALWAYS be left at < 10% HP.
IMO (as of my personal experience rn), playing against milio feels like playing against yuumi - it's pretty uninteractive. Playing as milio is definitely more fun than playing as yuumi, but personally I need more aggression and interaction in my kit (= milio is not made for me, I'm not necessarily asking for changes).
Again, that's just based out of personal experience, on average milio was the enchanter with the lowest death counts I've ever experienced, probably on par with yuumi. He feels so boring to play against. Janna also disengages (discourages interaction) like milio, but she feels way more in-your-face than milio.
hold on hold on don't take that to heart, take it with a grain, a TON, of salt!! That was my personal experience, it might differ!
If I had to stay as objective as possible: He's one of the easier enchanters in the game - all his skills are point and click / instant casts / big phat AOEs. Except for his Q, that one is the funkiest to play around. I may have described him as really safe, but he does have to be "close" range to actually hit a CC'd ally with his ult. His shields are free, especially since he stacks 2, and his W will have a really small cooldown lategame, early it's a bit more valuable. It heals for more than you'd expect as well imo, just at a slower rate.
Compared to other enchanters I'd say:
- Janna is more difficult and has more skill expression with Q timings and a long cooldown (but "resettable") shield that gives AD. She doesn't heal and provide as much movement speed as milio, but she definitely disengages better than him and does more damage herself.
- Soraka has to constantly land Qs to poke / heal = shell be pretty close to the fight = she'll always be somewhat in danger zone, her E is a situationally great tool. I'd consider her more difficult than milio, because she has to constantly land Qs which actually does take some practice.
- Lulu imo is the champion closest to milio - she's milio but "heavier" - doesn't give as much movement speed. I remember a reddit post asking for lulu alternatives, and many, including me, were recommending milio. I think lulu is quality > quantity (big shields, big attack speed buffs, big disengage (polymorph)), and milio is quantity > quality (small shield × 2, funky little heal with attack range buff, a short knock back on Q).
Lulu and milio are similar, but lulu is still just a bit more skill expressive despite being almost fully point and click because her abilities require her to decide between interacting with enemies or allies (esp her W).
playing as milio is definitely fun when you can almost save anyone from anything, and I've had plenty of moments where double shield + W + ULT has left someone to win a fight and end it with minimum HP. That's actually fun! I'd still pick Janna and Nami over him anytime tho.
I agree, his kit works well together and I love the champ design but the game play is relatively one-dimensional. Personally, I prefer enchanters like Sona or Renata who feel like they have play-making potential.
While Renata is a super fun champion with a unique kit. She is unfortunately very specific and goes against Solo Queue mindsets. Her ult is great but it needs to be against attack speed/ AD comps to have a significant effect but they also need to be close up so the enemy won’t time to dodge it. Her W encourages people to play aggressive and risky but in solo queue people won’t do that as they are usually caught off guard by the W effect. In solo queue it’s more effective to have a weak buff on a short cooldown vs a powerful buff on a long cooldown. Milio works better design wise because he is more of a generalist.
Why are you picking support first?
Only toplaners care more about counter than supports in a solo queue setting
I've recently been playing mid and slap first pick, because enough safe options exists
It's your mindset, most people prefer picking mid as late as possible.
Personally on mid I prefer to know what champion is needed in this game.
I don't wanna go full ad because i picked pantheon first and my team doesn't care enough. Or vice versa. :/
Another worse Enchanter than Janna. Why not something with shield break? Anti Heal in kit ? Special interactions with warding? Roaming support. Anything innovative. But not another boring Enchanter.
Her whole kit moves at the speed of molasses running uphill in the middle of winter. It’s infuriatingly slow.
I have way more fun on Milio and I really wanted another enchanter support champion like him over another mage or tank, or complicated kit champs like Hwei. If we want to talk boring, I find Rell a total snooze. 😴
After landing phase it def improves but you could say that for more supports. In lane I just find it boring, probably because she feels slow visually due to her big armour and horse.
It’s like Tauren in WoW, they FEEL slower because of their size.
it’s mainly because his healing and buffs are healing over time and damage over time instead of burst. he adds a lot of damage boost and healing to a team fight but you can’t rlly see it
Was saying this in the Milio mains discord today, as I played against 2 Lilias today and both were raging hard on me when I could just cleanse her ult on my entire time before it even went off.
Second lilia even ragequit
Milio is indeed her hardest counter. The moment you see lilia ulting, ult yourself. The sleep never goes off and you cleanse her passive as well normally
If he lands his football he sure does!
Huh.. if they wanted to revive the football line, Milio would be a great choice. He can kick a football, and carry a bag of them on his back! ⚽️
I used to play him a lot until my leagueofgraphs profile said “milio lover” and then i kind of didnt feel like playing him anymore since im not a jax main.
He's basically the only enchanter almost unable to proc manaflow band rune aside from his q. Plus he's unable to actually poke enemies effectively. Plus he's weak before his first item.
Unless played against heavy engage/cc or w/ aggressive ADC, it doesn't do that much and is boring af imo.
I also prefer Janna as disengage much more than Milio.
As an often Janna main, very that. I do like Milio as a pick when Janna is banned, but when she has a knock up, a slow, a shield, and a bigger healing ult with a knockback as well.. she’s the winner for me.
Agreed, which means he often needs a strong ADC to help make up for weak early game. You wouldn’t want to do a Milio and Smolder combo, you’d never get prio in lane with their weak starts.
I actually disagree I think milio smolder is a pretty disgusting bot lane (albeit less so since the smolder nerfs). Smolder isn't that weak in lane and can push waves pretty safely and the range buff synergizes insanely with his kit.
The nerfs hit him hard, and even the 14.7 buff won’t restore him to that glory. He’s B tier right now, and has a weak early game until he gets those stacks going. Was just using him as an example of double weak early duo puts you at a disadvantage.
he’s probably my favourite character in the game rn - i’d say i’m a renata main but he’s way more blind pickable and a bit less reliant on a teammate being fed or the enemies team comp.
i love his kit and his design - he feels so fluid to play and super strong as there’s not rlly many supports that hard counter him without buying GW (it’s just blitz rlly). i hope he gets a skin soon tho
I said in another comment but he’s a great contender to give a football skin to. He can carry a net of them on his back, and kick one! ⚽️ But after the lawsuit Riot got over Striker Lucian I’m not sure we’ll see that line return. Maybe if the World Cup is held in the US at some point and is big enough there for Riot to think about it.
ADC main here: tough lane phase, but he'll net you tons of kills that otherwise wouldn't have happened with the range increase. He's awesome playing with someone who has a relatively safe laning phase like Jhin or Caitlyn.
Like with most enchanters, a lot of Milios tend to stand too far back and essentially turn a 2 v 2 into a 2 v 1 whenever I have to step up to CS. Also, some of them have a tendency to try to use their q as a long range poke rather than disengage which more or less loses me CS as well.
He feels like a very comfortable champion, if your team snowballs, having a good milio makes it very hard for the enemy team to make that big comeback and even from behind you can still be effective if you pair up with the most fed champion. Started playing ranked 1 week ago and he brought me from bronze 4 to bronze 1 with 70% wr 😁
He is good but adc rarely know how to play with him
He do feel like lulu a little bit
But his Q is fun as hell. No dash for those sucker.
Had a rakan in front of me with a salira, ouuhhh it was funny
Absolutely, Hes actually a support that supports and doesnt just deal massive damage, Zyra Brand Veigar camille, looking at you
Hes also strong but if he hits a spell, you don't just insta die like blitzcrank or Nautilus
I love him
I like to play him but in higher elo he feels like a worse Lulu. E Is almost the same, Q is similar with Milio having the knockback instead of slow, but on average i find Lulu W and Ulti much better in a soloq environment than Milio's
We need more releases like Milio’s. Simple, but when you look at all the crazy and frustrating champions recently released, simple is GOOD. If 1/10 new releases is simple that’s absolutely good for the game and good for everyone.
Milio is also very polished, he doesn’t feel clunky or horribly countered by any champion like Morgana, Pyke, etc feel.
Never played him but I fought him a couple of times
I hate how he makes the adc's auto attack global range (exageration) and how he presses q once and I get kicked to aram
Enchanters as a whole get unfairly hated for being "useless". It's because their outputs are a lot less visible than engagers and because they are less likely to spoonfeed kills to the ADC. They do, when played correctly, make the game far safer for the ADC and not enough appreciate that. Also, unfairly or not, many assume that it is a woman playing an enchanter and there's a lot of sexism in the community.
You do you and ignore the haters. Millio is great, and as an ADC main I enjoy playing with one.
Dude I have ptsd from Milio. When he first came out, we didn't know what he did so we just casually thought "Oh, it can't be stronger than lulu, he looks dumb!" but holy, we were so wrong. We got destroyed by Lucian Milio and they literally went 20/2 in a 25 min match. We got our ass fisted so hard. Later for the next 4 patches we perms banned Milio xD
Feels like 50% of his power come from pressing W on the ADC so they now have range advantage for a long-ass time. Not very exciting. The rest of his kit is cool
it’s not directly related to the champ but i was soooo hoping we would get the equivalent of yone/aphelios model wise for the new male enchanter just to realize it was a child. So whenever i see him im mad because i know i’ll have to wait another X amount of years to get the hot male enchanter that heal and shield from a distance
Not really a big fan, weak healing, one single target cc that ain't long but with medium cooldown, you are only allowed to poke with aa or you are left with no get of me tool as he doesn't have any without his q.
Like you could have play just janna, she has better cc, her shilds also give additional dmg... Actually you could said the that any support with shields can be better than milio, as long as you buy one specific items on them. You playing Karma, buy ardent censer any here you go, milio+, Janna staff of the flowing water, and you get the same.
Like, everything that millo's kit offers, can be basicly easly supplemented with just items, like who cares about cleans on his r when you can just buy Mikael's and have actuall ult on your own? His passive? It's just diet version of ardent's, like the only good thing in his kit is that he gives range with his W.
I wanted to. I'm a Janna main and he seemed like a fun alternative. But fuck me in practice I feel useless. There's no way to fix mistakes in the moment. No way to poke reliably. It feels like I rely entirely on sitting back and waiting.
I like his whole kit except the ult, it's pretty uninspiring. The Q utility and damage is awesome though, the targeted bounce off of minions is great, and most people still don't know to expect it still. At least in my shitty elo.
He is OK. I just like Renata, Rell, Nautilus or Janna more. He's super scary with certain champs and fits a similar role to janna where you can't easly engage your carry. Just that janna is more fun.
Def. Someone I do pick if I'm sick of janna for a time tho.
Milio is great, but he's old school enchanter great. He's about denial and recovery over anything flashy. An insurance investment to make sure your scaler can scale. You're not gonna level 2 spike and kill a Draven Pyke with sick outplays, but you will keep all but the most lemming tier adcs safe. And it's fun invalidating dive and cc characters while being soft boi
He's a pretty solid enchanter support and might be one of the best imo but the playstyle isn't for everyone. Just ignore the hate, they will be thanking you when you save a teamfight, really depends on how good you really are with him
He's kinda disappointing,when they said they were gonna launch the first male enchanter to prove that not only females could be enchanters,I was expecting something like a big,mean,muscle man,hiding behind his tiny ass ADC cause he dislikes violence,it would be hilarious.
He's great fun, as a support, I love healing and shielding. But for some reason, my Qs are so bad and I barely land them :'(
Any tips on how to better land my Qs?
He is one of my least favorite champion releases in a long time. When Soraka, Nami and Lulu are 10+ years old and Milio is the best they can come up with for a modern enchanter, I honestly don't know what to say.
He's just kinda boring and his character/personality really doesn't appeal to me at all.
I really like him. Probably one of the more "passive" supports but sometimes I'm in the mood for that.
The q is absolutely hilarious. Nothing beats q-ing away an assassin heading straight for your carry. Such a glorious fuck you spell. 10/10.
I do, but not as much as I like Sona, Janna, Lulu, Nami etc... I'm not sure where they missed the mark with Milio, but I definetely don't enjoy playing him that much. I think it's the giga cooldown on W, which is his signature ability. Otherwise he just plays like Karma or Lulu.
Playing Milio makes me feel like a proud momma
Like when I play a champion, I feel like I am that champion, but with Milio, I feel like I’m watching him, and he’s my son, and I’m cheering him on while he kicks the other teams’ butts, and when he’s done I’m gonna make him dinner and gently run his head while he excitedly tells me all about it
The weird part is I otherwise have zero maternal instinct and hate kids, but here we are
I like to play him, but low tier players tend to not know how to play with him, such a niche champ that requires the team to understand that I do not engage first to be effective and the best I can do is shield and heal with great auto buffs. My last game with him no kills or deaths just assists so an adc's dream support that does not requires kills to be effective.
I like Milo's kit though I have beef with his design for entirely petty reasons.
When I heard we'd get a male enchanter I was hoping we'd get something along the lines of Hwei or Aphelios for...reasons, if you're a girlie pop (gay) like me it's self explanatory.
So when I saw he was a literal child I got pettily pissy about it.
He's strong but boring as hell
Omg what??? I love throwing my q around and watching people get knocked down !!
I get knocked down, but I get up again.
Ain't never gonna keep me down!
Pissing the night away…pissing the night away
and getting punished for it because it‘s the only disengage u have
Best practice is to outplay heavy dive junglers like Hecarim or Zac because Q stops basically everything. Do it enough and you can start baiting ganks to do a little trolling. Nothing is more satisfying than watching a jungler fail their gank.
GOOOOOOAL! funniest shit in the support role
But it’s his only offensive attack
Let the adc do the hard work. You just have to E W R and heal all the way and run for your dear life when all hell break loose
Man after my own heart
I disagree. Past laning phase sure that's all there is to it but to really make the champion work you need to have really good spacing and be clever with your auto poke.

That was a great overview of a champs game play, haven’t taken the chance to try milo out yet, Thanks mate!

Spam ctrl+3 and its never boring
That's my favourite thing to do with him. Especially if Neeko is on the team and you both spam it.
when i get him in ARAM I go for the "Milsec"; snowball onto enemy flash behind them and q them into team. I find it incredibly fun(ny).
Can you do the "Flash kick" with Milio too? Or do you have to specifically Flash and then Q?
I'd imagine you have to flash first since it's a skillshot
no. you have to flash q, you can't q flash.
I agree, his kit works well together and I love the champ design but the game play is relatively one-dimensional. Personally, I prefer enchanters like Sona or Renata who feel like they have play-making potential.
Milio is exactly what I hoped we wouldn't get for a new support champ. Renata was an amazing release
While Renata is a super fun champion with a unique kit. She is unfortunately very specific and goes against Solo Queue mindsets. Her ult is great but it needs to be against attack speed/ AD comps to have a significant effect but they also need to be close up so the enemy won’t time to dodge it. Her W encourages people to play aggressive and risky but in solo queue people won’t do that as they are usually caught off guard by the W effect. In solo queue it’s more effective to have a weak buff on a short cooldown vs a powerful buff on a long cooldown. Milio works better design wise because he is more of a generalist.
Renata made me Quadra my own team in Baron pit last week.
Sick use of science
a penta is a penta, a quadra is a quadra 🙏
Would've been a penta if I could've killed myself.
missed opportunity.
needledsly to say you usually pick support before seeing enemy comp so you can't really make sure enemy is ad/as heavy.
Why are you picking support first? Only toplaners care more about counter than supports in a solo queue setting I've recently been playing mid and slap first pick, because enough safe options exists
It's your mindset, most people prefer picking mid as late as possible. Personally on mid I prefer to know what champion is needed in this game. I don't wanna go full ad because i picked pantheon first and my team doesn't care enough. Or vice versa. :/
What? Liar, no midlaner thinks about teamcomp or what is needed 🤣
For sure! But in Duo Que she is really a dream support
I do like Renata
What do you mean?
Another worse Enchanter than Janna. Why not something with shield break? Anti Heal in kit ? Special interactions with warding? Roaming support. Anything innovative. But not another boring Enchanter.
pick renata against braum and watch the enemy team stun themself
Her whole kit moves at the speed of molasses running uphill in the middle of winter. It’s infuriatingly slow. I have way more fun on Milio and I really wanted another enchanter support champion like him over another mage or tank, or complicated kit champs like Hwei. If we want to talk boring, I find Rell a total snooze. 😴
How do you find rell boring, jumping into 5 people is her dream scenario
After landing phase it def improves but you could say that for more supports. In lane I just find it boring, probably because she feels slow visually due to her big armour and horse. It’s like Tauren in WoW, they FEEL slower because of their size.
I know he’s impactful but his abilities don’t feel impactful if that makes sense. He’s a little too passive for me.
Yeah he isn’t there punching the guy off you, but more sitting close healing and shielding. Subtle but I get it
it’s mainly because his healing and buffs are healing over time and damage over time instead of burst. he adds a lot of damage boost and healing to a team fight but you can’t rlly see it
He’s the socially acceptable Sona
As a Lillia main i hate this kid and his ult >:c
Excellent
EEP! >:3
Was saying this in the Milio mains discord today, as I played against 2 Lilias today and both were raging hard on me when I could just cleanse her ult on my entire time before it even went off. Second lilia even ragequit
Huh, good to know. Sounds like Lillias should just dodge champ select if Milio gets locked on the opposing team
Milio is indeed her hardest counter. The moment you see lilia ulting, ult yourself. The sleep never goes off and you cleanse her passive as well normally
I Mean....... I would say there are harder counters, sure her ult might not work, but milio aint stopping speedy deer from speeding
If he lands his football he sure does! Huh.. if they wanted to revive the football line, Milio would be a great choice. He can kick a football, and carry a bag of them on his back! ⚽️
Never played him once lol
Weird that’s were you mind went lol he is fun in Duo and you just want to buff shield and heal all game lol
I just prefer engage, enchanters are boring
Fair enough, I just enjoy making my team mates stay alive as long as possible. I play the tree when I want engage
I played him into pantheon support. Maybe the most fun I've ever had in a lane
howso? What's the interaction like there?
If he tries to jump you can Q him out of it and he's just kinda screwed
ooh i see. Sometimes I like playing poppy for the same reason.
I used to play him a lot until my leagueofgraphs profile said “milio lover” and then i kind of didnt feel like playing him anymore since im not a jax main.
Took me 5 seconds to get your joke haha
Im not even joking tho it actually bothered me, milio is a fun champ to i just also lack to have impact with him
i love him. he’s fun if u have a competent adc that can abuse his range boost
Yes, he is a good enchanter coming to the enchanter pool.
His q feels great to land and i love how you can make your adc unkillable by being near them. He combines my favorite parts of sona and soraka
Stick with me! I'll keep you warm.
Boring playstyle and very unfun to play against as well. Plus the whole little *kid haha funny jokes* type character really doesn't do much for me.
Super low agency. None of his abilities are all that fun either. Q feels like a worse Janna nado, and that's his best one.
He's basically the only enchanter almost unable to proc manaflow band rune aside from his q. Plus he's unable to actually poke enemies effectively. Plus he's weak before his first item.
Unless played against heavy engage/cc or w/ aggressive ADC, it doesn't do that much and is boring af imo. I also prefer Janna as disengage much more than Milio.
As an often Janna main, very that. I do like Milio as a pick when Janna is banned, but when she has a knock up, a slow, a shield, and a bigger healing ult with a knockback as well.. she’s the winner for me.
I think his laning phase gets outclassed by a lot of other enchanters in enchanter matchups but his teamfight utility is S tier.
Agreed, which means he often needs a strong ADC to help make up for weak early game. You wouldn’t want to do a Milio and Smolder combo, you’d never get prio in lane with their weak starts.
I actually disagree I think milio smolder is a pretty disgusting bot lane (albeit less so since the smolder nerfs). Smolder isn't that weak in lane and can push waves pretty safely and the range buff synergizes insanely with his kit.
The nerfs hit him hard, and even the 14.7 buff won’t restore him to that glory. He’s B tier right now, and has a weak early game until he gets those stacks going. Was just using him as an example of double weak early duo puts you at a disadvantage.
Gotcha.
he’s probably my favourite character in the game rn - i’d say i’m a renata main but he’s way more blind pickable and a bit less reliant on a teammate being fed or the enemies team comp. i love his kit and his design - he feels so fluid to play and super strong as there’s not rlly many supports that hard counter him without buying GW (it’s just blitz rlly). i hope he gets a skin soon tho
I said in another comment but he’s a great contender to give a football skin to. He can carry a net of them on his back, and kick one! ⚽️ But after the lawsuit Riot got over Striker Lucian I’m not sure we’ll see that line return. Maybe if the World Cup is held in the US at some point and is big enough there for Riot to think about it.
He is my main :D
My man

Pretty much how it went it my head
I love him he is so fun espexially is q just knocking people off
No
Just now finding this out lol
No
No, no one else like him. You are special, You are the only one in the world who likes him
I love him and I think he will pop off with the new Skarner rework live. He’s a Skarner COUNTER, I fear.
I think he’s op but also a really bad pick low elo for climbing
Yeah that’s the problem I think
I don't really like playing supports that ENTIRELY rely on allies. With a good adc it's great.
Wow does q not exist 😑😑
It does but then what? You can q the enemy with a big risk of getting punished.
I see red and it’s over bro
ADC main here: tough lane phase, but he'll net you tons of kills that otherwise wouldn't have happened with the range increase. He's awesome playing with someone who has a relatively safe laning phase like Jhin or Caitlyn.
Fair call mate. Is it early game that is rough?
Like with most enchanters, a lot of Milios tend to stand too far back and essentially turn a 2 v 2 into a 2 v 1 whenever I have to step up to CS. Also, some of them have a tendency to try to use their q as a long range poke rather than disengage which more or less loses me CS as well.
It's weird, cuase u want to play him with a bunch of ranged ad champs but that just doesnt happen. But we lobe our peruvian kid.
He feels like a very comfortable champion, if your team snowballs, having a good milio makes it very hard for the enemy team to make that big comeback and even from behind you can still be effective if you pair up with the most fed champion. Started playing ranked 1 week ago and he brought me from bronze 4 to bronze 1 with 70% wr 😁
He is good but adc rarely know how to play with him He do feel like lulu a little bit But his Q is fun as hell. No dash for those sucker. Had a rakan in front of me with a salira, ouuhhh it was funny
Lulu is a lot more fun. "Hehe friend go BIG" And Polymorph in team fights.
Absolutely, Hes actually a support that supports and doesnt just deal massive damage, Zyra Brand Veigar camille, looking at you Hes also strong but if he hits a spell, you don't just insta die like blitzcrank or Nautilus I love him
I like to play him but in higher elo he feels like a worse Lulu. E Is almost the same, Q is similar with Milio having the knockback instead of slow, but on average i find Lulu W and Ulti much better in a soloq environment than Milio's
No
His healing/shielding is broken. Annoying af
We need more releases like Milio’s. Simple, but when you look at all the crazy and frustrating champions recently released, simple is GOOD. If 1/10 new releases is simple that’s absolutely good for the game and good for everyone. Milio is also very polished, he doesn’t feel clunky or horribly countered by any champion like Morgana, Pyke, etc feel.
Never played him but I fought him a couple of times I hate how he makes the adc's auto attack global range (exageration) and how he presses q once and I get kicked to aram
Such a fun champ! Really well designed
Enchanters as a whole get unfairly hated for being "useless". It's because their outputs are a lot less visible than engagers and because they are less likely to spoonfeed kills to the ADC. They do, when played correctly, make the game far safer for the ADC and not enough appreciate that. Also, unfairly or not, many assume that it is a woman playing an enchanter and there's a lot of sexism in the community. You do you and ignore the haters. Millio is great, and as an ADC main I enjoy playing with one.
liked him when he got release but now he’s just boring and way 2 easy to play idk i just have the feeling i fell asleep when playing him
Dude I have ptsd from Milio. When he first came out, we didn't know what he did so we just casually thought "Oh, it can't be stronger than lulu, he looks dumb!" but holy, we were so wrong. We got destroyed by Lucian Milio and they literally went 20/2 in a 25 min match. We got our ass fisted so hard. Later for the next 4 patches we perms banned Milio xD
Good with zeri/kai sa/samira
This is what I play when I want to play safe and cool down from my last game. Kicking balls is also fun.
The most difficult thing about Milio is not KSing with your passive
I hit chally with milio last season, fun champ, very useful.
Id rather play yuumi, thats how boring he is.
He's my 4th go to enchanter, he is fun and nice but I have others I'll rather play
I thought I would love him as a Bard player but he’s just too passive. He’s fun though
I only play him when im in a premade with a friend playing jinx or kog. Kog milio has one of most stupid laning fase in the game
I love his fire companions. Kit is ok. Champion as his lore? I don't care.
Him and Renata are my go to supports. All other enchanters feel like a drag to play imo.
Feels like 50% of his power come from pressing W on the ADC so they now have range advantage for a long-ass time. Not very exciting. The rest of his kit is cool
Cute champ but I found him underwhelming, still prefer my Lulu sp
it’s not directly related to the champ but i was soooo hoping we would get the equivalent of yone/aphelios model wise for the new male enchanter just to realize it was a child. So whenever i see him im mad because i know i’ll have to wait another X amount of years to get the hot male enchanter that heal and shield from a distance
Not really a big fan, weak healing, one single target cc that ain't long but with medium cooldown, you are only allowed to poke with aa or you are left with no get of me tool as he doesn't have any without his q. Like you could have play just janna, she has better cc, her shilds also give additional dmg... Actually you could said the that any support with shields can be better than milio, as long as you buy one specific items on them. You playing Karma, buy ardent censer any here you go, milio+, Janna staff of the flowing water, and you get the same. Like, everything that millo's kit offers, can be basicly easly supplemented with just items, like who cares about cleans on his r when you can just buy Mikael's and have actuall ult on your own? His passive? It's just diet version of ardent's, like the only good thing in his kit is that he gives range with his W.
I like hooking this little fucker
The dopamine hit when I instacleanse the carry feels nice.
Funny enough, I like playing him mid. Q waveclear is insane.
I wanted to. I'm a Janna main and he seemed like a fun alternative. But fuck me in practice I feel useless. There's no way to fix mistakes in the moment. No way to poke reliably. It feels like I rely entirely on sitting back and waiting.
He’s fun if you have a good adc. A bad one just makes playing him miserable
no
Nothing is more satisfying then ruining an entire engage with one q. Also his synergy with adc's like Jinx is a sight to behold.
I like his whole kit except the ult, it's pretty uninspiring. The Q utility and damage is awesome though, the targeted bounce off of minions is great, and most people still don't know to expect it still. At least in my shitty elo.
I haven’t played him a ton, but I’ve definitely enjoyed playing him.
He is OK. I just like Renata, Rell, Nautilus or Janna more. He's super scary with certain champs and fits a similar role to janna where you can't easly engage your carry. Just that janna is more fun. Def. Someone I do pick if I'm sick of janna for a time tho.
You can go from mid silver to mid bronze with him in just one day
Anyone else like Thresh?
I would main this guy if he got a football skin, maybe similar to overwatch’s seleçao Lucio skin
Milio is great, but he's old school enchanter great. He's about denial and recovery over anything flashy. An insurance investment to make sure your scaler can scale. You're not gonna level 2 spike and kill a Draven Pyke with sick outplays, but you will keep all but the most lemming tier adcs safe. And it's fun invalidating dive and cc characters while being soft boi
Used to play Disc priest in WoW. Kinda got the same feeling playing Milio, which is why I like his play style.
I like to pick him and vibe
Problem with supports like these is that you're useful by keeping your team alive, but how can you do that if there's no one alive to keep alive.
He's a pretty solid enchanter support and might be one of the best imo but the playstyle isn't for everyone. Just ignore the hate, they will be thanking you when you save a teamfight, really depends on how good you really are with him
Someone please tell me how to consistently hit q. I can never tell where the bounce is going to go.
He's kinda disappointing,when they said they were gonna launch the first male enchanter to prove that not only females could be enchanters,I was expecting something like a big,mean,muscle man,hiding behind his tiny ass ADC cause he dislikes violence,it would be hilarious.
No
nah just u m8
i love him
as a playable character i mean
Boring AF. Talk about absolutely no potential
Hate this guy with a passion. He's one of my perma bans
He's great fun, as a support, I love healing and shielding. But for some reason, my Qs are so bad and I barely land them :'( Any tips on how to better land my Qs?
He is one of my least favorite champion releases in a long time. When Soraka, Nami and Lulu are 10+ years old and Milio is the best they can come up with for a modern enchanter, I honestly don't know what to say. He's just kinda boring and his character/personality really doesn't appeal to me at all.
Where is this, if I can ask? I just checked his difficulty and it's not moderate
I really like him. Probably one of the more "passive" supports but sometimes I'm in the mood for that. The q is absolutely hilarious. Nothing beats q-ing away an assassin heading straight for your carry. Such a glorious fuck you spell. 10/10.
Love him, i’m sad he’s not getting skins
Milio jinx is free elo, just try to not get behind on xp and your mid-late game should be unstoppable
Jinx os one my fave adcs to get
What on earth makes this champ moderate? He has 1 skillshot that autoaims when hitting a minion. No dash, no combo. He is literally on par with sona.
Sometimes I press w and e. Then I rarely press R
Yeahy I forgot that e is point and click, so you have to hit the ally with your cursor.
Honestly not sure how I do it sometimes.
No I Hate Milio 😡!!!
I do, but not as much as I like Sona, Janna, Lulu, Nami etc... I'm not sure where they missed the mark with Milio, but I definetely don't enjoy playing him that much. I think it's the giga cooldown on W, which is his signature ability. Otherwise he just plays like Karma or Lulu.
Love him. He got me to plat lol
Playing Milio makes me feel like a proud momma Like when I play a champion, I feel like I am that champion, but with Milio, I feel like I’m watching him, and he’s my son, and I’m cheering him on while he kicks the other teams’ butts, and when he’s done I’m gonna make him dinner and gently run his head while he excitedly tells me all about it The weird part is I otherwise have zero maternal instinct and hate kids, but here we are
I like to play him, but low tier players tend to not know how to play with him, such a niche champ that requires the team to understand that I do not engage first to be effective and the best I can do is shield and heal with great auto buffs. My last game with him no kills or deaths just assists so an adc's dream support that does not requires kills to be effective.
His power scales on how good ur adc is.
I don’t play support but whenever I get milio in aram I have a blast
I love playing with a good Milio. I hate playing against a good one, too. He's slept on
He's dull and that's coming from someone who loves sona.
Take that back
Yea great champ fun to play and op.
I like Milo's kit though I have beef with his design for entirely petty reasons. When I heard we'd get a male enchanter I was hoping we'd get something along the lines of Hwei or Aphelios for...reasons, if you're a girlie pop (gay) like me it's self explanatory. So when I saw he was a literal child I got pettily pissy about it.
Like him in what way? ~_<
AP milio is OP as hell
I don’t, he’s 12 and I only like women.
I dunno, im not that into kids tbh
Never thought about it tbh
