The ONLY Range vs Melee Guide (BOTH SIDES) You NEED!!

hey everyone do you like playing a lot of range champions we're getting sick of champions like fizz Catarina echo or do you exclusively like playing melee champions but struggle against stuff like malzahar because he just has to press R to counter you well don't worry with the right game plan you can win any of these matchups with ease and you're in luck today I'm gonna give you both game plans one for you range champion lovers and one for the melee champions you can use these in almost any matchup and mid to make it extremely easy then we're gonna go through three different replays where I'm playing on a smurf and gold to show you how to use the game plans and to see the mistakes at lower other players make so let's go over the range game plan first mission 1 slowly push the way you slowly pushing gives you a huge minion wave which will defend you from all ins mission to harass when they go for last hits you can just be Auto attacks but when they go for minions you want to poke them in the mission 3 play around your important cooldowns every range champion has an important cooldown that will keep them safe so think lux Q syndra e TFW basically their CC ability to keep the enemy from all inning if you use it you have to play safe till it's back up alright now for the mailing side mission 1 let the brave push melee champions don't come online to level 3 most of the time so it's best to just let the wave push a level 1 mission to stay healthy as the wave pushes in you need to make sure to have enough health for mission 3 and then mission 3 after the wave crashes all in at level 3 after we've crashed on the tower melee champion C at level 3 and can look to all in we have the game plans let's get into our first we play here when I'm playing Lux first is I picked Lux into fizz because it's a fizz favourite matchup and I wanted to show how simple the matchup is with how many mistakes lower either players make so his laning starts I Auto Attack 1 melee minion down to prevent all through mail image from dying at the same time in a few seconds and to start mission 1 if they're all dying at the same time I'll have to use my e to get them which I don't want I want to use my e to harass fizz I missed my first yawn him because I didn't wait for him to go for a last date before using it this is something you really should get into a habit of doing if your just throws out randomly you'll run out of mana and won't connect with most your skill shots after I miss the e we have the first and biggest mistake I see from melee champions and playing this uo watch how this fist just walks up past his range minions for literally no reason at all and just ours Auto attacking I ended with an auto-attack then collect two of my last hits then hit him with two more autos as he runs away this is part of mission two on the melee side you shouldn't be taking any free damage the only time you take damage as the melee champion is when you walk up for a last hit and get punished anyways after that fist walks up for a last hit so I hit him with my e then walk up to Auto to proc my passive if he doesn't back away but he does as the wave pushes in look how fiza's walking up for this melee minion so I'm ready to punish him for mission two and auto attack him these may seem small but the auto attacks really add up early on if you can punish them with an auto every time they go for last hit and throw in some abilities as well they'll get low fast now I hit level two and look at the minion wave it's stacking up nicely I'm gonna crush the whole thing on the tower so phase has to last hit all of these while I poke him down he should just be waiting in his tower but he walks up for last hit here so I throw my e with an auto to poke him some more for mission two and then collect my CS now as I crush them on the tower I want to look to poke fizz as much as possible when he walked for this minion I throw my Q Auto him then e and auto again taking a huge chunk of his health this is exactly what you want from these first few waves if you get a lot of her ass down you're playing the match up properly we all know you can get ganked now so I'm gonna drop a ward on my top side which is where I think that I'm gentle will come from before we keep going though let's jump to another replay and come back to this one in a bit let's compare the first three levels of this game to the one we just watched I'm on the Blanc for Silas here you should see a lot of similarities to the previous we play from both sides first wave I'm Auto attacking one minion down like before Silas walks up the last hit minions so I auto him a lot use my W to proc electrocute and just keep Auto attacking because he thinks it's okay to just stand here and order these minions he's lost half of his health in the first level if you notice because I got the push advantage and I'm last hitting just like in the luxury play I'm stacking up a big wave in this replay my wave was gonna crash later on to the previous one the reason for this is Silas was doing a lot of damage to the minions but he pays the price for it but around the same time as the previous replay I drop a ward on top side it says junglers can be looking to gank soon now it's back to my game plan slow pushing and harassing until I hit level 3 now that I'm level 3 I can really chunk the Silas with a full rotation of abilities he should be standing back at hour waiting for the wave to shove in just like the fizz should have been but he walks up for last hit and I'm ready to punish right away and go in with my qw an auto-attack to chunk him then I continue auto attacking when he walks up too far for no reason like he has been told right here look how I back up to make Silas think you can walk up for this last hit then prep my W like this you've been walking for CS all game that he shouldn't go for and he's low enough to kill now so as soon as he walks up IW eq and ignite and get the kill the kill is great but that's not even the biggest deal here look at this minion wave because Silas didn't play towards his game plan of letting it push stay healthy and let a crush on the tower he died before this massive wave even crashed he's gonna lose it all the lane is completely over at this point alright so we've seen two different examples of me playing range versus melee in the first three levels but I know you're probably thinking but skill capped against fizz before level 6 is easy after the low six is hard and how do we play from the melee side don't worry we're gonna cover both let's first jump into another replay but this time I'm playing from the melee side I'm playing Katarina versus Indra on this one syndra is a hugely employee the best in the game right now at level 1 she's a 40 mana for second cooldown 70 base damage ability that she can just spam so at level 1 look what I'm doing I'm just standing way back here at a vision of her not giving her any chance to harass me a little one it's actually this easy once these first shoot minions get low I walk up and just use Q to grab them notice how she isn't even trying to harass me while I do it if I are on syndra I would be standing a lot closer and what no Katarina is gonna use Q to grab this yes so I'd be ready to punish then for the next melee minion I'm used to high yellow so I'm walking back and forth waiting for syndra to try and queue me when I go for it but she doesn't even try and I just grab her for free syndra isn't doing anything that I was doing when I was playing the range side she needs to be harassing everytime I go for a minion think about it I literally don't have a way about trading her my Q does less damage has a higher cooldown and na mele this is the case for nearly every me leavers range matchup and is why you don't want to be looking to do much into level 3 but on the range side your goal is to get an advantage before that point all right now when no minions or though I'm not walking up and taking any free damage like the Silas and fizz did I'm standing back for missions one and two until a minion does get low and then I use my queue to grab it syndra hits level two though instead of walking up with a level disadvantage and losing half my health like the others did watch how easy this is I simply just let it go crazy concept but that's it it's fine to give up some minions to make sure I have enough health to all in at level three now I hit level two and my queue is up so I use it to grab a minion before backing up again and grabbing two more under Tower so you should see a big difference here in the first two waves I've taken literally zero damage from syndra partly because she doesn't know what she's doing and I'm not giving her any openings now the wave is gonna crash on the tower and I'm gonna farm safely just like before and wait till I hit level three now that I hit it I can look for an all-in syndra see he's the only thing that can stop me from killing her so I'm just waiting for her to use it and hire you though you'll have to bait it most of the time as they'll save it lower Hilo has in diamond and below they would just use it for no reason and that's what I'm waiting for alright here we go she's there stun now it's time for both of us to look for mission three she should be playing very far back farming safely until he is back up if she doesn't I can just go all in so let's see what happens I pop a potion first that combo took around half of my health then as soon as she walks up into range even with a huge health disadvantage I go all-in I mess up my combo just a little bit and miss one of the daggers but still a hundred to zero her and got greedy with ignite thinking I would kill without it but it barely doesn't kill if I ignite her she obviously dies but she's still forced to leave the lane and just loses it from this either way do you see how easy it is play safe wait for the Polly wait for them to use their important ability all in I could have done the same thing on any melee champion Diana talent echo fizz this looks so much different than when I was playing the range side of things alright we still have one more thing to go over still captain physical six SOP I can't do anything to it just nerf is whatever let's jump back to the looks versus gameplay we left off here where I dropped a ward topside I played the lane out doing the same things as before harassing me went for last hits and put them out of lane easily I didn't even kill him I end up recalling with a 30 to 15 CS lead with a level advantage because of this advantage that I got in the first five levels which you should always get firs fizz there was no way for him to kill me he has me with assault here I just use my W and don't even need to bury her there's no way he kills me here he just needs to run away also I'm playing towards where my jungler is debate the fizz and overextending he tries again later on definitely can't kill me when I'm holding the wave near my tower then tries again when I get back to lane it doesn't even come close I still have my barrier and stop punch if you get a lead early on versus strong local six champions like fizz side or Talent they won't be strong enough to want to try you unless you really mess up alright guys so as you can see with these two simple game plans you can easily win any arrange was melee matchup from either side I didn't do anything crazy mechanically in any of these games I just punished when I was supposed to and followed my game plan and diamond
