For those of you wondering, it’s not a thing. You can’t do it. Stop trying! Having a snare doesn’t match up with a shield or a heal because the enemy ADC can still attack while rooted.
This game got really ridiculous. Ezreal had a way to avoid damage and escape from Kog’s ridiculous damage. Ryze, on the other hand, didn’t have escape as part of his kit. Ryze would lead in with his Rune Prison, and then Lux and I would turn on him. If Lux landed a snare then Ryze died.
Nubehound doesn’t normally play Lux, and had actually never tried Lux against humans. This was his time to shine, his grand premier! He actually did really well. He timed skill shots well, used his slow effectively to check bushes, etc. The only time that made me actually laugh was when I was walking back down the lane towards my tower to recall (no enemies were around) and he chimed in and said “slow down so I can shield you.” I just laughed because it was like he wanted to try that ability out on someone!
Lanes were won very handily. The enemy team was ready to surrender shortly after 20 minutes. This is not normally the case with our poke comps! Normally we expect lane phases to be a little bit more difficult, but our late game pressure forces teams to surrender. It was a nice change to have lanes won and a team willing to throw in the towel!
