A closely watched lawsuit that claims<b> Martin Shkreli’s</b> and <b>Gerard Kelly’s esports</b> organization failed to pay its one-time coach is proceeding in New York state court, amid disputes over pre-trial discovery.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Rohit “CurryShotGG” Nathani, who coached Team Imagine, sued in February claiming he was still owed $25,000 of the $30,000 Kelly and Shkreli’s organization promised to pay him.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
The judge in the case ruled Wednesday in ongoing pre-trial wrangling in the case, ordering Kelly to produce discovery information within 30 days.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Kelly had been ordered in May to provide basic summary information about any witnesses he expects to call in the case and was given 30 days to do so. Kelly has gone almost four months without providing any of the information.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Kelly has also been ordered to turn over “any and all correspondence, documents and/or memoranda” relating to: Nathani’s employment; communication between Kelly, Maelstrom and Nathani; the ownership of Maelstrom Gaming. He must also provide any contracts between Nathani and the defendants and contracts regarding Maelstrom’s merger with Odyssey Gaming. In addition, Kelly must turn over financial statements for any accounts used to pay Nathani.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Roger Quiles, Nathani’s attorney, filed an Aug. 4 motion asking the court to order Kelly to produce the information. The filing included an email from Kelly to Quiles from July 7 in which he said he’d “get to the discovery request in the next 48 hours.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Shkreli founded Odyssey Gaming, a Challenger League of Legends team, in May 2015. But after the team failed to qualify for the North American Challenger Series, he bought into Maelstrom Gaming, an already established Challenger team. They later started Team Imagine under the Maelstrom banner.</div>

The lawsuit lists Shrkeli, Maelstrom Gaming and Kelly as defendants. Kelly, who was a co-owner of Maelstrom when Shkreli bought into it, was the CEO of NRG Esports until April,<a href="http://www.espn.com/esports/story/_/id/15273284/nrg-appoints-new-ceo-former-head-apple-iad-publisher-relations" style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;" target="_blank">when he moved into his current role</a>.

<b>Samsung Galaxy</b> ended its long losing streak to <b>KT Rolster</b> and qualified for the League of Legends World Championship in the process with Saturday’s shocking 3-2 win.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
The MVP for Samsung was Kang “Ambition” Chan-Yong by pulling unexpected picks in the jungle with massive success. Despite his strong showing, Ambition said that he didn’t expect Samsung to be part of the world championships this soon, <a href="http://sports.news.naver.com/esports/news/read.nhn?oid=442&aid=0000043171" style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;" target="_blank">writes Inven’s Shim Young-Bo.</a></div>

“I didn’t expect us to make it to worlds,” he said. “I thought at the fastest we’d make it in two years. I am very happy to make it to worlds this quickly.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
One of highlights of the win was of course Ambition’s surprise Skarner pick in the jungle, which went on a tear across the entire rift. This off-meta jungle pick was something that Ambition had prepared the day prior to his match.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
“I went into the match expecting two jungle bans,” he said. “The problem was that the difference between tier 1 and tier 2 jungle champions was too wide, so I felt like I had to bring something unexpected. So I played a couple of games as Skarner and he was better than I thought. I thought that if we were going to lose, I should pull everything out.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Ambition talked more in detail about his team’s world championship opportunity, focusing more on his inability to qualify over his career. According to him, he almost let his comfort set in.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
“I almost gave up going to worlds entirely because I had missed my chance so many times before,” he said. “I started to feel like my current life was fine so I stopped thinking about it. But then I thought to myself that since I worked so hard as a pro, I should go to worlds at least once.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Ambition also lived up to his name, expecting very high place finishes for his team; as long as they don’t meet one team.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
“As long as we don’t face<b> EDG</b> I think our journey in worlds will be pretty easy,” he said. “Our goal right now is making it to semis. It’d be great to also not meet any Korean teams as well.”</div>

Toaster will now be playing for Last Remedy Gaming in the ESL UK League of Legends Premiership, which gets underway this week after some<b> LoL UK</b> drama kicked off in the local scene (including roster locks, player moves and last-minute rescheduling).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
In late August, Toaster took part in the i58 LAN tournament with Choke Gaming, finishing fourth.</div>

The contract Toaster had with Origen has been cut short because it was interfering with him playing in national leagues. Which means that although he’s not technically a part of Origen at the moment, he could return to them in the future.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Toaster originally joined Origen back in July, and played in a few matches, helping them to re-qualify for the next EU LCS split.</div>

Prior to that, he used to play for FM-eSports under the alias ‘Toaster’ and most recently played as ‘Gakis’ for Exertus Esports. The Lithuanian-born player is a regular in the UK League of Legends scene, having participated in the ESL UK Premiership in recent years.</div>

In August, Toaster posted an update on his time with Origen.</div>

He said in the Twitlonger post: “I’m glad OG was able to pull through in the promotion tournament and secure the spot in the LCS. I’m extremely thankful to Alvar and Paco in particular for giving me the opportunity to play for the team.

“Honestly I got thrown into the deep end and sadly didn’t meet the expectations, but to see so many fans sending me messages cheering me on, sending me heartwarming messages always puts a smile on my face. Thank you guys so much, I really mean it!”</div>

<div class="p1">
<b>INTRODUCTION TO THE 6.18 TOP LANE BASICS GUIDE</b></div>
<div class="p2">
 Welcome back to Houdini’s Cornucopia of Extremely Helpful Guides. On this show we’ll talk about the good old slug-fest everyone knows and loves, toplane. Throughout the meta, top lane has had a grand diversity between roles that can participate in it and do well. Bruisers, Marksmen, Mages, even</div>
<div class="p3">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

</div>
<div class="p2">
 <b>Teemo</b> has called this lane home every once in a while. In short, this variety of champions means that if you chose to make top your main, you’ve potentially got the widest range of tricks up your sleeve. Or perhaps your sleeves are really wide and can fit many tricks. Or maybe you need to see a tailor, either way, diverse picks. Regardless of what you decide, whether you’re looking to be a stable tank and teamfighter, a split-push monster, or something else altogether, you’ve chosen the right lane. <b>Welcome to Top.</b></div>
<div class="p2">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="p1">
<b>THREE KEY CHARACTERISTICS</b></div>
<div class="p2">

</div>
<div class="p2">
Top lane comes down to three major factors. <b>Skirmish ability, lane management, and all-in potential</b>. In the case of skirmishing, we’re referring to the back and forth trading that occurs without death, but serious threat of it. Lane management in general is straightforward, and if you combine the ideal with skirmishing you come across <b>a powerful tactic; zoning.</b> Above all else, worship gold throughout any means, and do not ignore the most trivial of gold source, even every ward you kill counts.<b> A split-pusher with gold splits better. A tank with more gold tanks more.</b> Of course, this means <i>spent</i> gold. The gold does nothing in your inventory, <i>use it</i>. A few waves of minions can be considered equal to a kill in terms of gold, and gold wins games. Remember this wholeheartedly. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<b>BEFORE YOU START “YOUR ROLE”</b></div>
<div class="p2">
Top lane is synonymous to a house, moreso then any other lanes. In this case, the early game is the foundation of the aforementioned house. Naturally, a shifty foundation will lead to devastation. In a straight up 5v5 teamfight, the tank that dies first spells death for his team. The same goes for a split-push related game, if that 1v1 comes down to a 1v0, your base won’t last long. Each member of the team must pull their own weight, each supporting structure must hold up their own portion. Remember that in top lane, ganks are mere<b> band-aids</b>, <b>you <i>still</i> must be able to deal with your opponent in a one on one</b>, whether that be through victory, sponge-strategy, or </div>

 <b>Shen</b>‘s passive aggressive avoidance tactics that everyone knows and loves. Why is this so important Toplane? It has to do with the inherent isolated nature toplane is always subjected to, where advantages and disadvantages are exemplified. We’re talking everything under the sun, level two power spikes, level six ultimates, completed items, anything and everything used to change the name of the game <i>is</i> fair game. <b>Identifying each and every increase, decrease and especially spikes is paramount in playing top</b>.

It is not <i>my </i>place to provide you with all the information. No guide can prepare you for everything, but I’ll damn well try to give you a brief snap-shot of the obstacles in your path. With that out of the way, let’s <i>role</i>. </div>
<div class="p1">
<b>EARLY GAME AS TOP LANER</b></div>
<div class="p1">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="p2">
<b>The beginning of top lane starts immediately when the game begins, as do all other roles</b>. Check if your jungler needs a leash, and defend your jungle from potential invades. Tab up and make a note of summoner spells and keystone mastery. God forbid you stand in Fountain <span class="s1">with your thumb up your</span> counting Poros and zoning off. If your team is invading, make a point to join them, but remember to recall before a minute passes or else risk showing to lane late.<br />
Depending on the champion you pick, and the match-up you are in, right off the bat you want to know whether to push and pressure or not. If you’re in a losing match-up across all levels 1-5, secede the lane if the enemy makes a hefty show of force. If you’ve got </div>
<div class="p3">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
 <b>Corrupting Potion</b>, and the enemy does not, in such a case as <b>Irelia</b> Vs <b>Teemo</b>, you have some room to maneuver. . Remember that while <b>Corrupting Potion</b> increases your <i>effective</i> health, it does not increase <i>maximum</i> health. This means that you must trade, bide your time, trade again, and wait for the time to all-in, if you so choose. While in theory <b>Teemo</b> has the early lane dominance down pat, proper skirmishing can ruin his plans until <b>Irelia</b> gains access to all of her abilities. This matchup is an <b>exaggeration</b>, but all matchups follow a few universal truths, a few listed here. You need to take this type of information into consideration <b><i>before the lane even begins.</i></b> It will help you make the right decision when it counts, queue cliche “knowing is half the battle” quote. </div>

<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
1. The stronger lane bully <b>CAN</b> control the lane and the flow of the minions. <br />
Whether this be through pushing and forcing missed CS at turret, or freezing and punishing, the stronger lane bully has the right of way. If they choose the wrong direction or make a mistake, the other has a chance to challenge, but often only then. Prime examples of lane bullies are <b>Gnar</b>, <b>Rumble</b>,  <b>Swain</b>,  <b>Darius</b>, and <b>Irelia</b>.</div>
<div class="p1">
2. The stronger global presence has more effect on the map.<br />
This need not be explained, see  <b>Shen</b>.</div>
<div class="p1">
3. The stronger split-pusher will win the game if both teams are at a stalemate.<br />
This is seen as often in pro-play as it is in SoloQ.  <b>Tryndamere</b>, <b>Fiora</b>, <b>Jax</b> and if given time even </div>
<div class="p2">
<b>Nasus</b> can gain an inhibitor for their team and more if given the chance. This is unlikely to happen, but the threat is often enough to force teams into making decisions, good and bad.</div>
<div class="p1">
This is the top of the iceberg, but generally the most important subjects to approach at the beginning of the game. Win conditions are <i>where it’s at</i>. If you’re playing </div>
<div class="p2">
<b>Maokai</b> top, don’t expect to outright beat a  </div>
<div class="p2">
<b>Tryndamere</b> unless he makes a mistake, but if he does, <i>have no mercy. Do that which is the most gold efficient, but also the safest. </i>I won’t go into risk-analysis quite yet, as that’s a guide for another time, but in short, <b><i>know your win conditions.</i></b> Don’t attempt to out-bully in a match-up you know you lose, you’re just asking for trouble.</div>
<div class="p1">
<b>MIDDLE GAME AS TOP LANER</b></div>
<div class="p2">
The mid-game is full of rotations, ganks, rotations, and even more rotations. Behind a strong meme is an even stronger truth(TM). In this stage of the game it is important to see exactly how much pressure is being exerted throughout the map, whether it be your team or the enemy’s. Beware of<b><i>overflow. </i></b>I’m coining the term right now, this second. <b>Overflow occurs when a person within a team is able to expend less resources for the same effect, and thus frees another member of the team to act elsewhere.</b> The strength of overflow cannot be underestimated. Imagine the following. If the enemy bot-lane has pushed in the bottom turret and destroyed it before your team, it’s likely that lead will be pushed elsewhere. Barring that juicy turret first blood gold all the new-fangled kids are getting into these days, simply destroying that turret changes the lane dynamics. It’s more likely your allies will play more passive, as they have no defensive structures nearby, but who in the world knows what the enemy could do to push their newfound lead. Go kill jungle monsters? Freeze the wave? They <i>could</i> come up to top, but more then likely they’ll rotate mid, creating a 3v1 disadvantage for your ally middle. Your team responds, jungler and support go to middle, as your ADC is still busy clearing waves bottom. Do not be surprised if the enemy jungler suddenly shows up to your lane. If you are, you <i>weren’t paying attention.</i></div>
<div class="p2">
The same applies to you, however, overflow can be used advantageously as-well. <b>If you’ve got a lead, don’t hesitate to freeze your lane, remember, top lane is unusually isolated and volatile.</b> That lead you’ve got should be kept, and if you can, extend it. The quickest way to lose a lead is to make the assumption that simply because of your lead, you will win. This makes you an easy mark to bait, and thus gank. If you know you are in the lead, <i>chances are the enemy knows it too. </i>Contain your lead, press it when you know you can, and be cognizant of any and all effects on your lane. Junglers, mid-laners with <b>Teleport</b>, <b>Twisted Fate</b>, <b>Pantheon</b>, </div>
<div class="p3">
<b>Nocturne</b>. <i>Out of sight does not mean out of mind. </i>I hope the same applies to the basics presented in this guide.</div>
<div class="p2">
<b>LATE GAME AS TOP LANER</b></div>
<div class="p2">
<b>Play to your champion’s strengths, and to your enemies’ weaknesses.</b> If you happen to be battling a champion without any crowd control, know that teleport ganks will be easier and more effective. If you can step on <b>Zac</b>‘s blobs, do so. If <b>Vi</b>‘s passive is used up, it’s time to stack on some damage. If </div>
<div class="p3">
<b>Swain</b> just finished using his ultimate and is low on mana, <i>use yours</i>. No words describe the constant to and fro of League of Legends as much as Newton’s “Every action has a reaction.” Of course, in this case it is “Every action <b><i>should</i></b> have a reaction.” Whether that be running away because “<i>good lord </i></div>
<div class="p3">
<b><i>Wukong</i></b><i> just ulted me again” </i>or going in because that </div>
<div class="p3">
<b>Malphite</b> just missed his ultimate, do something. There’s no better way to learn. Besides this guide, of course. If you’ve got a split-push champion like  <b>Fiora</b> or  <b>Jax</b> in your hands, do everything you can to get that <b><i>1v1</i></b>. <b>If you’ve got a lane bully, <i>bully that lane</i>!</b></div>
<div class="p2">
<b>If you’re a teamfight champion, understand and remember your role.</b> Does your team need peeling? Does the enemy team have a fed Akali, Diana, or Zed? In this case, if the latter is true, then the former is necessary. Attach that train of though to all your decision making in the late game. Which brings me to </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<b>TANK THEORY IN LEAGUE OF LEGENDS</b></div>
<div class="p2">

</div>
<div class="p2">
What you see following is an ideal team-fight. The back-line provides the damage, the carries of both teams are evenly spaced across so as to be able to constantly output damage. <br />
The arrows symbolize directed damage, the blocks people, a simple diagram by any means.<br />
This is an even fight, five red arrows, five blue arrows. </div>
<div class="p1">
Now, the most important, <b>who is at fault?</b></div>
<div class="p1">
Regardless of how it happened, whether the backline was too slow, or the frontline too fast; the clear victor is the blue team. If your goal is to win, and I believe it is considering you’ve slogged it through this wonderful guide, in the heat of the matter does not matter who’s fault it is, but it must be fixed as soon as possible. There’s a few ways to do this.</div>
<div class="p1">
1. The tanks on red team retreat.<br />
This is the most desirable course of action, of course, it is not always possible. Blue team may utilize crowd control to keep Red team’s Frontline immobilized, in that case…<br />
2. The Red team backline advances as soon as possible.<br />
While this might be obvious, red team has been put at a disadvantage. In those vital seconds used to re-position, Red team tanks have likely taken far too much damage to sustain a proper fight.</div>
<div class="p1">
TL,DR: As a tank, do not isolate yourself from your source of damage. Now that you’ve got the basics, let’s expand just a tad.</div>
<div class="p2">
<b>EXCEPTIONS IN TANK THEORY</b></div>
<div class="p1">
Basic tank theory implies that both backlines will be forced to target the respective frontlines. If, for example, an enemy champion has a gap closing ability which allows them to pass by the frontline to target the backline, say, </div>
<div class="p3">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
 <b>Leblanc</b>, it’s a tank’s job to run interference. If you, as a frontline, cannot kill and may be killed or kited by the enemy backline, you cannot engage. If you choose to do so, you run a high risk of encountering situation two, the <b>Isolated Frontline</b>. Choose to peel your own backline, or at least be ready to. A tank that overextends will receive no damage from his backline, and thus ultimately lose.</div>
<div class="p2">

</div>
<div class="p1">
Remember, the entire goal of a teamfight is to <b><i>win</i></b>. As in, destroy the enemy nexus. Tanks are re-known for having low sources of damage, but Marksmen and Mages can shred through turrets like it’s their job; because it literally is. It’s sad to say, but an ideal teamfight for a tank is one in which he’s limping away from the battlefield, bleeding profusely, only to recall and join the fight once more.</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">
<b>CONCLUSION</b></div>
<div class="p2">
Top lane is a volatile trench war with no holds barred and where everything’s fair. No “cheap” tactic is overlooked, and there’s little to no jurisdiction beside the claims of the victor. I hope that this guide has given you a quick peek at what it takes to master the rudimentary elements of top lane, and fear not, there is more to come. Join me next time on a comprehensive in-depth guide to the elusive meta of the top lane. Hold on folks, it’s on the way.<br />

</div>
<div class="p1">
So after trying different Summoner Spells a lot in the beginning of the new Season, this is my conclusion:</div>
<div class="p1">

</div>
<div class="p1">
Self explanatory.</div>
<div class="p1">
<b>HINT: Suggested Summoner Spells against Champions are only for Laning Phase!!!</b></div>
<div class="p1">

</div>
<div class="p2">
<b>Often Ignite is recommended but you need exhaust or cleanse against the enemy Team.</b></div>
<div class="p2">

</div>
<div class="p1">
Probably gives the most kill pressure on your lane opponent, also its the easiest to use, since cleanse needs reaction time and Exhaust needs timing. Take Ignite against Self-heal Champions, if the enemies have no real CC/Burst against you. </div>
<div class="p1">
<b>Champions to go Ignite against:</b></div>
<div class="p1">

</div>
<div class="p2">
Le Blanc, Kayle, Lulu, Ekko, Swain, Kassadin, Karthus, Akali, Orianna, Vel'Koz, Ziggs, Azir</div>
<div class="p2">

</div>
<div class="p1">
 My favorite Summoner Spell on Zed right now, it helps you to survive against CC and you can remove Ignite/Exhaust from your lane opponent. </div>
<div class="p1">
<b>Champions to go Cleanse against:</b></div>
<div class="p1">

</div>
<div class="p2">
Lissandra, Cassiopeia, Twisted Fate, Xerath, Ahri, Ryze, Anivia, Annie, Lux</div>
<div class="p1">
Extremely strong in 1v1 scenarios, don't underestimate the bonus damage from it. Perfect against High Burst opponents.</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
<b>Champions to go Exhaust against:</b></div>
<div class="p2">

</div>
<div class="p1">
Talon, Fizz, Syndra, Malzahar, Kennen, Katarina, Gangplank, Brand, Yasuo</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

</div>
<div class="p1">
You want to take this Rune Site against AP Champions. While AD, Armor Pen, Health per Level and Magic Resist are pretty much self explanationary, CDR at 18 is not. You take it to have 35% CDR in the lategame, since that allows you to throw 2 Qs while having 1 Shadow up.</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiRLNwBOqERWOmlnEdeZZZsdx2QL6edjA_HbzPvToyeMsNkd1uS612zxBmhIWh3PrQ5myB831OGzoUmAD1vPUr2sNUDeOQE_UAYsP-KSsU1uKAJuF93dgE-dQPyZ3r4kibp0PY5JxH5rI/s1600/Zed+2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiRLNwBOqERWOmlnEdeZZZsdx2QL6edjA_HbzPvToyeMsNkd1uS612zxBmhIWh3PrQ5myB831OGzoUmAD1vPUr2sNUDeOQE_UAYsP-KSsU1uKAJuF93dgE-dQPyZ3r4kibp0PY5JxH5rI/s1600/Zed+2.png" /></a></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">

</div>
<div class="p1">
Take this Rune Site against an AD Laner. You dont need any Magic Resist in your Runes, so CDR is your Way to go. The reason why i have 6 Flat CDR Glyphs and 3 Sclaing CDR Glyphs is, that i get exactly 40% CDR with these.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<b>Must have Masteries:</b></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<b> Double-Edged Sword</b></div>
<div class="p4">
Double Edged Sword is an extremely strong offensive Mastery on every Melee Assassin. It helps you to burst your targets down a lot faster. The Downside of it, that you take additional Damage too, isn't that important on Zed compared to the bonus damage.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<b> Oppressor</b></div>
<div class="p4">
Since your normal Zed combo right now is to use WEQ, your Lane opponent will always take more damage instead of if you have Bounty Hunter. If your Playstyle is to roam all game, Bounty Hunter can be stronger, but don't forget: Oppressor makes you strong in Lane and being able to kill your Lane Opponent can make you snowball even harder than Bounty Hunter.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<b> Wanderer</b></div>
<div class="p4">
Wanderer is way better than Savagery, because it gives you more lane pressure and roaming power. You don't need help to last-hit, you are Zed and you have a passive.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<b>Assassin (No Icon found)</b></div>
<div class="p4">
Assassin makes it way easier for you to get fed. Take it everytime, perfect to Split-push and perfect for Laning.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<b> Merciless</b></div>
<div class="p4">
Merciless is perfect on Zed. You will get your enemy very often below 40% and then you want to kill him with your Ult. The bonus damage from Merciless is perfect to do that. Also what the fuck do you want with Mana Regeneration?</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<b> Dangerous Game</b></div>
<div class="p4">
Despite getting gold from ally minion kills is useless on Zed, Dangerous game is very powerful. After you killed and enemy in lane, you will often have an ignite ticking on you. Having Dangerous Game will help you to survive and grow a stronger lead. Also its pretty broken in Team-fights for obvious reasons.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<b> Precision</b></div>
<div class="p4">
Flat Armor Penetration is broken on Assassins, since it gives LOTS OF damage against squishy targets, which makes it, at least on Zed, way stronger than Battering Blows too. Further you don't really need to have more CDR.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<b> Thunderlord's Decree</b></div>
<div class="p4">
Thunderlord's Decree gives you the highest possible amount of Burst Damage you can possibly get out of all masteries. It will proc basically every time you hit your enemy with you normal Poke combo. This Burst combined with a possible back-swap to your Living Shadow can easily get you kills. The meta right now is all about snowballing from the early-game. Thunderlord's Decree is perfect for that.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<b>Preferable Masteries</b></div>
<div class="p4">
These are mainly my own preferations, but the other mastery is possible too.</div>
<div class="p4">
(Fury > Sorcery)</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p4">
I prefer Fury above Sorcery, because its stronger in most stages of the game. It helps you to last-hit easier early into the game and gives way more damage in the late-game, since Attack Speed helps Zed to stay relevant even after using his spells.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p4">
(Vampirism > Natural Talent)</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">

</div>
<div class="p4">
The stats Natural Talent gives are basically non-existent. 10 AD at level 18? That is nothing. Having a bit Spellvamp and Life-steal instead helps Zed way more.</div>
<div class="p4">
<br /></div>
