Showdown 1 v 1 and 2 v 2.

[Razosh]

Riot recently put up the Showdown event on their public servers which is a 1 v 1 and 2 v 2 event where the goal is to get first blood on your opponent to win. What did you think of this event and who do you think is the best suited champ for a map like this?

I played it and I'm not a big fan. I know it's supposed to be based off magma chamber but the game is really boring. For the 2v2, it's the first to a tower, a kill on each hero or 100 CS. Really lame.

It's a game mode made for people to go like "OH BRA 1V1 ME BRA", but it's not very fun to me.

Anyway. In terms of duelists right now, Draven is up there. It's hard to really pick one or two champions because there are always some champs that work better against others, but a skilled Draven is one of the meanest 1v1's in the game. Leblanc is up there as well.

Draven's a good champion although my best win loss ratio is Master Yi with 7 - 0.

Master Yi? That's surprising. I imagine any decent AP champion with some hard CC would wreck you.

The trick with Yi is to farm minions until you are level 6 then you trick them close to your tower by letting your minions die and then you jump on them with all your abilities and exhaust so they can't run away from the turret meaning they can't attack you.

Farm heavy champions like heim/morde could work I guess.Also those with good early game?

AP casters is key on the 1v1 map

I actually used Yi on my first game there.
The opponent was jinx and I won quite fast. (I guess it's a fast mode in general too)

I tried with AP shaco and it worked.

all I did was spamming controll + 3 (dance). it ended up that I had 3 farm and kayle had 80. But I baited her into a tower dive and stealthed away and won.
