And he has a movement buff ability

Thatās awesome, Hugin.
Among my very favorite combinations for Dominion is Lee Sin and Poppy. Iāve had games where, over and over, we come around on opposite sides of someone difficult to dislodge from a turret, I kick them over to the waiting Poppy, and she alley oops them into the wall.
His movement buff goes away the second his shield is broken though, so if someone is kiting you and not just running away you lose it. Clearly you need more Boots of Swiftness.

Thatās fine. He hopefully built tanky. If heās getting focused by a ranged AD as opposed to one of your teamās carries, then heās doing his job.
If thatās what youāre doing, I donāt see why you wouldnāt just pick Udyr over Skarner.
I think Udyrās stuns are probably better than Skarnerās entire toolkit.
iHis Ult is crazy good mate I think you are underestimating the ability to suppress and move a target, but yea he fills the same role as a Phoenix Udyr in the jungle.
Advise me! What sort of champs in general and who in paricular can I counterpick top against:
- Garen
- Irelia, Nasus
- Chogath
Normally I take Nasus or GP top lane. But Iām looking to learn one or two more who will do well against the champs above who often give me trouble.
Sion?
Iāve had a lot of luck going against Chogath with an AD carry. Not because I can kill him easily, but because I donāt give a fuck; between a farmed Vayne and a farmed Chogath, itās the Vayne whoās a lot scarier.
Iāve been roflstomped top as Nasus by Akali because she played super aggressive starting at level 1, and have destroyed Nasus as Teemo, Ashe, and Annie, but Iām low-ELO.
Garen beats everything on that list Chequers. For Garen himself? Kennen is quite a good choice off the top of my head, while also doing rather well against the others so that might be a good starting point if you are looking for a brand new character. Ryze also does decent enough against all but Irelia.

Kennen > Garen
Akali > Nasus and ChoāGath
Iām not quite sure how she does against Irelia, I imagine itās a toss-up 50/50. Itās weird that I havenāt ever been Akali v Irelia up top.
This is all I have from personal experience, though Kennen was only one game and that was a couple months ago.

Iāve changed my mind. Yorick is higher priority ban than Akali in Dominion. Fuck that guy.

He was Sivir and just farmed all game, didnāt participate in any teamfights. He had like, 75 cs more than everyone else and he pushed a base tower down, but meanwhile we took their inhibitors. Sometimes he farms too muchā¦
I was playing support blitz. Not my best game but I did make him burn flash on an early gank mid :)

Swain beats Garen and Nasus soooo easy top. Olaf can beat Irelia and Chogath if you are aggressive early. Usually for Chogath teams just send another farmer against him, like Galio.

Yeah I noticed this. Itās also why his streams are boring as fuck compared to anyone elseās.
He fails at roaming so bad sometimes⦠like when he plays his awful Twitch.
With Ryze mid against Vlad, what should my starting item be? I went mana crystal and tried being aggressive but every time Iād take him down to a sliver of life heād find a way to kill me. Maybe I should have taken a magic resist item as my second item? And not playing bad would have helped too.
The thing with Vlad is his skills have long cooldowns early. You want to watch for when he uses transfusion then hit him after that as he wont be able to use it on you. He really doesnāt get dangerous until level 9.

Magic resist definitely. Get a Negatron cloak and itās not wasted because youāll be able to counter-harass more, get more farm in, and then build it into Bansheeās Veil eventually.
