User blog:Xyzdragoncannon/Initial reactions and expectations on Kled.

Hey there fellow wiki-go-ers,



with the time flying by and another champion being releases, I'd like to share my initial reactions and hear about yours.



With the Kled reveal, it seems like the League will be joined by another nasty little toplaner. Here are a few of my expectations about what we might expect from him (or should I say 'them'?)



Looking at his kit, most notably his passive and the 2 abilities with %maxHP dmg, I expect Kled to have a playstyle as follows:

-Charge in with the ultimate.

-Bump onto the frontline and deal that %HPdmg.

-Toy around with the enemy tank by Q'ing to make him less mobile, and dance around him with his E.

-By this point, you should have been able to get a W proc off, for even more %dmg. What also is very likely, is that Skaarl by this time has ran off.

-Now you use your Q to get some distance from the enemy team that want to pile up on you.

-You try to kite around long enough till Skaarl comes back, to give you a refresh on his HP bar.



Kled seems to be a very skirmish heavy toplaner/jungler. Get in, deal a chunk of damage, Skaarl will soak the damage for you, get out and charge up Skaarl again. With that said, I don't expect him to be the best laner, and a lot of brawlers will be able to abuse him if you don't play him out around his kiting potential.

Very ironicly, his playstyle seems as the reverse of Gnar. Get in first and kite back out, as opposed to kite around and then GNAR in. He also has some good roaming potential with his ultimate, but (judging from the teaser clip on the reveal) it will make a global noice when you activate it, so be prepared for people that know that you are coming.

Good usage of his ult can give you a strong upperhand in a teamfight by weakening the enemy tanks, but be aware that he most likely won't excell in diving the backline.
