If I am playing top, when do I recall and when do I gank mid after pushing the minions to their turret?

Recalling is dependant on alot of things. Generally it's best to stay even in terms of items with your lane opponent, especially at higher level games. There are alot of other factors that play a part in when you should recall. Some are (obviously), no pots/low hp, dive incoming that you cant fend of alone, etc. The more you play top, and understand your capability, it will change alot of the recall decision you make.

Ganking mid is dependant on how well your mid and jungle react. E.g, you see their jungle botside and know that their mids flash is down. It would be very hard for them to counter gank that. If correctly executed then you, your mid and your jungle should easily be able to kill, and if need be dive for the kill on their mid. Bare in mind, these things become alot more complicated and difficult to react to at higher level games.
In short, once you push your creeps to the the enemys tower and you feel that you can burn the enemy mids summoners/get a kill, then go for a gank. But as I said, if you're mid fails to react, you more than often get counter ganked.

- Make sure you ward.
- If a fights lost, and there is no way your presence can do anything, then leave it be.
- If you're at a stage where saving someone more valuable means risking your life, then it's definitely worth it.

However, at higher play lots of things come into consideration. I.E, dying to stall barons, dying to stall pushes, etc. However higher level players would notice this and simply ignore you and carry on.

Man, I hate when people feed. Honestly, I get placed with the worst teams in the world.

Do i do right to recall once i rape my opponent; so i can get full health for the next round?

(Early game)

 

S-man can correct me if I'm wrong.

If you have river warded and aren't afraid of a jungle gank, push a wave or two of minions to the enemy turret to deny them some exp and get a bit more gold - then recall.

If the enemy isn't in lane, yes then it's fine.

I always find not recalling after killing an opponent an advantage (assuming you have at least half health), by pushing the lane and getting some more XP and that gold, while your opponent losing xp from minions to the turret. Of course you would recall after you've pushed the lane since it gives you free time to recall, buy shit and get back to farming.

I could be wrong, cuz thats what I generally do.

No, you're right. Once you get the kill (if and ONLY if you're safe from being killed by a gank) you want to push minions to their tower then recall.

I can help you a bit, but just keep playing. You're only level 7. You'll get it down

I have real problems dealing with Master Yi. Everyone plays him, and he just stomps all over me. How do I shut him down?

Crowd control (Primarily), and shut him down early game. If he doesn't get kills and gets cc'd to death, he's junk

I've got 2 questions:
1. Why is AP Tryndamere viable now?
2. Why do most ADCs always rush BotRk?

 

[szskateman22]

I've got 2 questions:
1. Why is AP Tryndamere viable now?
2. Why do most ADCs always rush BotRk?

ADCs may rush BotRk to prevent people from running away + the life-steal. At least that's why I have used it. When playing Jax, who is slow at running, you need to be able to catch your opponent. After the jump (from Jax's Q) you can immediately drop the BotRk's special which slows down. Not to mention the healing property of the ability. And it deals 5% of target's current health (passive).

However, it varies on who you play against. Some may go for AD or ASpeed first.

Thoughts on how good ryze is and how to counterpick?

 

[OptimusPrime]

Thoughts on how good ryze is and how to counterpick?

Ryze is really strong no matter what. You can counter him by playing champions that have long range spells so he can't spam his spells on you like xerath or cassio.

Thoughts on how good ryze is and how to counterpick?

Super strong lategame, but requires a heavy amount of skill early. Personally I love to play Kat/Zyra vs Ryze, but as mentioned, lategame Ryze will just eat any AP carry up. He's a great champ if played right, built right and people understand his limits. He's heavily reliant on CD's.
