hey guys - here and today we're going to
have a special video which is going to
be our first video of this new series so
called Lane matchup where we're going to
be covering that Lane matchups pretty
much and today we're going to have a
particular matchup that you should be
facing quite a lot because the champ is
doing pretty fine for himself in this
patch it's going to be Zell versus blood
I so what you want to do is you want to
grab mr if possible in the rune page
you don't need 12 but you need a few
because you know that Q is not really
dodged bullets a point click so it's
always good to have that mr reduce the
damage and start long story pots now the
first thing you want to do in this Lane
is to make sure that early on the lane
is going to push to you if you ever do
the mistake to push into the flat he can
start freezing into his side which then
you know you can really reset it as said
because you can't really push the way
fast enough unless you're willing to
train it out and trade healthier HP for
that so then every time you'll go for a
CS you can just harass you and second
you can't read all in the blood if he is
close to his tower which then means that
even if you poke him this is going to be
able to sustain since you can't really
put that much damage on them and last
but not the least if you ever use your W
to trade with him your gang Cobell very
easily again cabacas´s you're pushed and
so then you want to avoid as any any
cost
push early on how do you do this now if
you get in Lane and the enemy blood is
not hitting any creep or not doing
anything need to make sure to do the
same you can't allow yourself to hit and
you creep either and you can't kill him
through the creeps like you can kill him
off the creeps
as fine but I thought the blood will
just like be walking around so avoid Q
in him and what you want to do is you
want to debate it to bait him into like
basic attack can you make yourself do CS
walk up it's fine to take a cube basic
you full HP and what I'll do is if he
basic attacks you and you're close to
your wave your weight is going to
Abraham
his minions are gonna grow your minions
which then means that his minions are
not taking damage for a bit at a time
which then will automatically push the
wave into you as long as your last
heading now if the blood is just iid
Auto attacking minions and explained a
random lane without really having a plan
to utilize the wafer as it is as his
advantage because most likely that's
what you guys are going to be facing on
controlling wave comes at a really high
level usually so if that happens feel
free to cue whenever um as long as you
don't push faster than him or like more
than him it's fine so then your second
goal will be to make it to level 4 with
two pots as possible so now we said you
started long for three pots now you can
start refillable if you want to by
highly just recommend to go three pots
and stronger and then and you can always
get the refillable after after your
first back so how do you do this well
basically we're gonna the way I play Lin
with that is I cannot invest the farm
and what I mean by that is for instance
as you can see in this lane I usually
like miss a few yes like if I don't have
cuter la città and you can trade with me
for more than 900 HP or like a hundred
damage or like a hendrix whiskey i'm not
going to last hit the decree i'm just
going to let it away same thing happens
when because since you're letting them
push into you at some point of the way
they're going to crash a wave at your
tower depends how big it is but most of
the time you're going to like miss
almost half of it goes you know there's
going to try to harass you and your
tower where you see s in it so i will
probably do the same like i'll get one
or two and let him trade one time with
me max but then i I would never like I
don't create a prioritized yes compared
to HP like taking the trade this is
against any champ like if you're going
to take a basic cube basic from Ahri and
lose 200 HP for 20 goals it is
definitely not worth so the way when I
wanna play is wanna try to make it to
level
for with two parts now try that doesn't
mean if you're right if you don't make
it you can't win lane anymore but if you
do make it a level four no matter how
much yes you miss of course try to
secure anything you can if you want you
could queue the minion every time to get
all of them and never queue the enemy
because honestly it doesn't really
matter to start harassing that earlier
it can help but not against Vlad really
so just feel free yes everything with
your queue and not lose too much HP so
then what happens there is um by level
six or seven or by the first back you
usually going to be six to like ten CS
behind the enemy so now let's talk a
little bit more about that level one two
three usually as I said you want to get
pushed in the thing is your level one
two three sucks pretty hard to get to a
whole lot besides of defending yourself
and csing so what you can do is if the
person ever walks up the basic attack
now this is if they're pushing as I said
because if they're not pushing then it
doesn't really you don't really want a
cue book if a person walks up to a basic
attack they're gonna stop their
movements the basic attack you so then
it gives you a free Q into them and
usually if you hit a creep first you're
probably equalized the damage of these
basic it's not a little more if you
don't hit a creep first and you'll do
thirty more damaging his basics the
thing is that he's gonna take minion
aggro on top of pushing into you which
then means that you out rated him by
almost a double just by throwing the Q
just because he basic attacks you so
like you can still do this as long as
you position very well in the wave like
let's say a minion is law you can go
basic attacker is even basic and then
you kill him and you're actually going
to win the trade if you're like in the
middle of the wave and all your minions
aggro hem then you're going to win the
trade pretty hard
that's something you want to do a lot
and yeah pretty much avoid taking
useless trades so like if I can't harass
him you're never going to see me in the
range of the Vlad's ability because this
is no point
letting him cue you when you can't even
do anything especially like a lot of
people take like trades and abilities
when then neither farming neither trying
to poke that that is just like when the
game pay bad so make sure you don't do
that um and as I said even csing for
your HP might not be optimal depending
how much damage you can do to you now
third point of the line is when you hit
level 4 + so I said level 4 + you're
actually pretty strong you have two
points in you and if you're both from
your W first damage is actually pretty
high can like a half HP um any mid laner
early on so in this land the thing is
that blood actually slacks damage blood
is good like luck is good at poor King
because it's point-blank and it's pretty
easy to hear and at the same time he
kind of sustains a little so it makes
his lane decent but like if you force
him into an all-in situation he can't do
anything because if he's pacifist down
obviously noxious passive is not his
damage is pretty much there if his
passive is down he queues you and is
like um he can't do anything for the
rest of the 4 seconds when your ID the
happy is HP
going in he doesn't even like get the
same damage than you with EQ and your
basic attacks are going to be stronger
since you're a B so pretty much you can
do a whole lot to your all-in and if you
ever have a kunai it's even worse
so not level 4 + as I said as long as
you're sure that the jungler is not
there because if the jungler is there
might as well keep playing safe and farm
it's not worth dying but if you're kind
of sure that the jungler is not there or
you like almost in the youth tower what
you can do is you can WQ and then W
again basic attack and shut up ignite if
you want to because you can actually
make him flash or burn some if not
killer so like by doing that you help
each p.m. and then you can decide to
either back off or keep basic attacking
until
tools or even a kunai on just all in
until he pulls through whether you can
splash and finish him now the last part
I want to talk about is level six plus
it's pretty much the same with level
four plus where you're just stronger
champ and flood because you're all in
this stronger but the thing is that
people miss interpret the way to use
that salt because usually everybody
thinks that salt is like a damage tool
so they'll go through and they'll just
like our people and everyone thinks that
any champion that builds pretty well
with your art is a counter to you like I
had many people say that I'm just pretty
good against that when the Sun shines
like one of the yz-plane to you so
there's multiple ways to use your altar
purposes rather to use your old so like
against this flood matchup obviously his
W and nullifies your are where he could
just pull when you are him and you don't
apply the mark actually it doesn't apply
at all just like a feel e now he can't
he can't like take the iron and then
pull the damage he can't do that but he
can nullify the mark and like not let
you proc it
so what you want to do is basically this
Lane no matter what level it is as long
as you have a good night you can kill it
and then hold it if you're not having I
really depends if you're ahead or not
because usually it's kind of a little
bit harder to kill them without ignite
and I'm gonna explain why so what
happens they at ignite now it's six plus
what you want to do is exact same thing
than four plus where you're going to w/e
q w basic ignite so now you have HP them
and what happens is that your next move
is going to be there are ham now why you
wanna are him even though your CDs are
down what you want to do is put your
whole personal RM cher up because it
forces him to pull so ultimately for a
flat player what he wanted to do is he
wants to argue you and get get all his
abilities down and then if you ever are
he'll spool and by the time his pool is
down he'll probably get another Q yet
storm Raider he's ours gonna heal him
during the fire on you but if you play
this correctly the thing is if you just
all in and then get a basic scan I you
have each p.m. as I said and ignite is
going to do another good ten percent but
then because you press are shared up he
can't are you can't cue and he can't eat
he has to bubble you shut up if he
doesn't double he is gonna die either
way is because you're going to apply the
mark so what happens is by using his W
he actually further lower this is HP
helping you actually kill them just so
that you don't apply the mark so that by
that sense your death mark actually
still does damage kind of thing because
you just for similar pull under ignite
and just uses so much HP but the biggest
part here is that after the pool that's
when you're actually still full HP
because he wasn't able to cure or
anything and then after the pool he'll
probably be like thirty it's not 20% HP
and that's when he's gonna do his first
cue that's going to take reduced healing
from the Egan I that's when he's going
to alt Q which means that you probably
will kill him before he's also been heal
same kind of thing so that you just want
to use your ulti to pretty much break
his combo break his damage where you
with all in put all your abilities in CV
for your ignite you get your basic put
down signature then as soon as he wants
to trade back you are to deny hem pretty
much like you use your old just like
it's a pool from blood where you use the
ability so that they can't trade on you
a force the same the pool instead of W Q
I mean EQ pool EQ and you just get the
upper hand like that if you don't kill
him you're gonna make him back or like
you're just going to die of him if he
stays there so that's pretty much what
you want to do into in this land is the
P popular lane so this is why I picked
it so feel free to let me know which
matchup you want to see on the comments
um I read almost everything as I said
last time I'm probably still going to
take a match up the you likely to see a
lot probably like an re like syndra
Orianna chance that people struggle
against but still champs that you see a
lot because I'm pretty sure that people
are gonna ask for Yas or stuff like that
but since you don't see the champ as
much or at least I don't maybe you guys
do in whatever Eloy your are
I'd prefer taking the higher priority
chumps but I'll read every suggestion
and I'll come up with a second episode
against the matchup that is very
annoying or like is kind of troublesome
to deal with so that's it for the video
guys um leave a like if you enjoyed the
video don't forget a sub and good luck
in your ranked games people
