So I was going to play Twisted Fate on my main account with a buddy of mine, Whyt3d3v1l, but the enemy team decided that Twisted Fate was a better ban than Shen. So I had to make a quick decision: Go with a champion I know, like Zed or Mordekaiser, or practice a completely different champion... I think I made the right choice. Luckily I got to go against a rather useless champion, no offense to the player. He was actually harassing me pretty good early on but I was able to farm up and get enough cash to overcome the damage of his bombs. Unfortunately, can't say the same for him. Viktor's Death Ray caught him several times for kills. Funny thing was that he would ult himself and just run away... Don't know why you wouldn't go in with a free life but not gonna argue the strategy of Zilean mid because I don't play him... for good reason. Anyways, good game.

Honestly Zilean mid is fantastic in most cases, as with most supports. However, Viktor doesn't like not being the victor. He's pretty much unstoppable in laning phase if you know how to land his ridiculously high damage abilities correctly. One thing I'd like to say though you don't "need" chalice. It's nice but honestly if you rush DC after Boots 2 and Death Augment you end up at a point where you can just halve the enemy mid's health and one shot waves with your E. He's a champion that doesn't really need to build defensively or sustainably due to the fact that he easily two shots once mid-game hits. (Been playing a bit of him lately myself honestly, if you want to check out another under-appreciated mid that's really powerful check out Xerath)

I completely understand what you are saying with Supports going mid. The issues weren't that he couldn't mid, it's just that in mid to late game, he falls off. He basically is just a revive and some burst damage from his bombs, almost another Nidalee minus the skillshot. He just isn't as strong as other supports that could go mid. Leave a Reply. |
