This is the coolest tower rework i've ever seen. Finally turrets have some outplays on their own!

[@KHOANNNN]

I mean, clearly you never played Skarner

[@wemightbealone]

ASol also does this. ult into turret aggro are most of his dmg in lane.

[@lorenzo249]

I think that you are not Thresh top players. Let me introduce you to the Art. Lethal tempo and defensive runes seconday (shield bash is underrated af) with Ghost + Flash. Start E lvl 1, harrass and go bush to drop aggro. Do it more. Zone enemy out of cs exp when ahead. If they dive or near turret, stay very near turret u win with: Empowered auto, E, R, , auto auto auto and end with Q. In alternative you can start the kill with Q and push them to turret, but E is way easier to land. Remember: use Q when they are still slowed (choose to do it instantly or predict the flash). Items: When ahead: atk speed boots / tabi if they have 3 heavy autoattackers > Botrk > then u choose to go Wit's End or straight fulltank When behind: tabi boots, Bami's cinder into Sunfire Aegis and wit's end into tanky items. Lategame: GET THOSE MAGIC PEN BOOTS TO GET MAXIMUM DPS, IT'S ASTOUNDINGLY GOOD. GL & HF. P.s. Works decently until Plat players learn to abuse your low mobility. Ghost is often used to escape.

already had 20 games on him, hes pretty good if you know how to use your passive properly and not waste damage. alot of people underestimate him for having minimal damage but once you properly connect your ccs and ult then the damage would actually do his bruiser side some justice. Try him out, hes really fun to play against bruiser and tanks, if you like drawn out 1v1s

[@9KingP]

(i said bruiser side because riot still pushes the narative that hes a tank, his items are but the dashes are too much)

[@bulletcola7890]

@@9KingP really? I thought he’s more of a tank-bruiser stat shifter, sort of like a stat oriented shapeshifter where one is more CC oriented and the other is damage based.

[@9KingP]

@@bulletcola7890 he's advertised heavily as "the first tank in five years post-ornn" by verified rioters on reddit. You're actually correct on the shapeshifting cc/part, though you can play Ksante with a bruiser build (Sunderer, DD, Bork), you could very well still get an even better stat just by building tank items (sunfire, thornmail, force of nature) and still do well in the mid to late game with just that.

[@ronoronoronorono]

shit champion bro

[@XonixDerps]

@@9KingP This makes me think how Galio typically builds dmg but almost always in practice is the tank/support dmg for the team and was even successful for helping 2v2s rather than 1v1s lol. In a sense Ksantee builds tanks for max I'd say mid-late yet plays like a shifter bruiser in a sense as said above.

[@RichardMartinez-mb4wg]

sick video, love that the counter is fiora at the end just a classic xd

[@jonn093]

keep up the good work, i sent this video to 3 friends :D

[@monstergarou3848]

this champ is actually fine, the problem is he takes a good amount of micro skill to properly output decent damage. He's the first tank where it actually takes a significant of mechanical skill to both properly displace people and to output good damage by weaving in autos, especially when in all out when your autos are percent health true damage. Also making use of the unstoppable nature and repositioning ability of both w and r is extremely key in some matchups. If this champion ever breaches 50+ winrate due to some system change and/or buff, its a good sign that he's busted.

[@GnarGnaw]

So then why not play champions that are easier to play, while also dealing the same or more damage and being just as tanky? Like any tank right now

[@BallschanovChugavich]

@@GnarGnaw Why play Yone or Yasuo or even Zed when Qiyana is perfectly fine right there, easier than them all and doing 3x the damage for 0% of the effort? Same concept. People are attracted to things that require "more skill" especially in such a competitive environment such as League. It's just an attraction that never ends for a lot of players.

[@sucklemecockles541]

@@GnarGnaw league players like playing complex champs so that they can feed their ego with copium that they can play complicated champions which makes them automatically think that they are the greatest players in history. I like breaking their egos by playing real simple champs (like Garen) and making them salty by saying that I don't have any skill at all for solo killing them with minimal effort on the champion's mechanics and focusing more on the actual mechanics like movement, positioning, cd management etc.

[@Souffle42]

​@@BallschanovChugavich More mechanical also means more outplay potential, because there are more things they can try to do. Like there's no such thing as Garen outplay lol. Anyway, Qiyana isn't that easy imho

Hes pretty good and has a well rounded kit, but I’ve found hes extremely vulnerable to collector, especially if you don’t utilize his r abilities efficiently. I feel like they’ll reduce the w immunity to only when he’s charging or something once people get the hang of him- lots of potential!

[@ashargetsinger3844]

[@peanuts5338]

[@EruCoolGuy]

I feel like they embraced the memes for his design. They could not stop themselves making a mobile hypercarry, then they realised it was the 3rd in a row and the 4th in the year, and restrained it to his ult.

Just ban the cringe

[@AlexiSonic]

I actually went against him as Poppy (I was jungle he was top) and I didn't realize how impossible it is to engage vs that dude. Considering how important it is for Poppy to land her stun to follow through with the rest, I got punished hard. Poppy prevents him from engaging. But what K'sante wants is other champions to engage so he completely disrupts it. Her anti dash ability sure is good against him, but I'm not sure she really is that good of a counter against him. See, when you cancel a Yasuo dash and ground him for a bit, you are happy, you more often than not have enough time to kill him. K'sante? He tanks and then will have his dashes back up.
