I dont play Ao very often but some days ago I wanted to try to get better in mid. I played a couple of games and some people complained that I played too passive. What was I doing? Well I casted tornados on minions, tried to push the enemy back, then when lane phase finished I stood behind the team casting torandos, swuall and ult on enemies. Of course sometimes I missed with ult or squall but overall I havent been dying much and I have dealt nice amount of damage... And beside of my skills and so on... Isn't Ao meant to be played a little bit passive? I mean it's not a god who can just rush on the enemy aggresively...
Any ideas why I was accused of playing too passive?
The best thing you can do in mid is keep the other mid guy in check. If you can get kills, that's even better. But don't go all crazy and get yourself killed; that's very counter productive.
Mr.wiggelz is one of the most passive Gods in the game. You litterly put down your tornado and wait till the next wave. I call an agressive ao plus one kill.
If you are a passive ao mid your team has no reason to complain, but If you are in a Side lane And they as very aggresive then I understand them being a bit mad but the should play more passive to then so there is sinergie between you two but you can also play a bit more agressive, it realy depends on what god you two ar playing but in the mid If you are ao and you play passive then you are doing it right.
never forget dawngate and never forgive EA. Freia will hunt them for eternity.
Don't listen to negative feedback from the in-game chat. A lot of people are full of themselves. It sucks because some people are so wrong and its not even worth starting an argument with them. I tend to find myself using the mute button a lot. I am not sure why but this game is starting to have a lot ***holes in game that have no idea what they are talking about. It is getting kind of annoying joining 7/10 games with people constantly yelling at each other about how bad they are when they aren't doing any better.....O well.
Ao can be aggressive... Its all about either being sneaky with your damage or baiting them in to kill.
You want as much as possible to drop the tornadoes ON the enemy gods. Not the minions. If you get both, great. But Ao can afford to get pushed back a bit by not killing the creeps as fast because he can insta kill a wave with his tornado if he must. So don't worry about the creeps. The creeps are your *****. Kill that god. Make being anywhere near you painful and scary for the enemy god.
And remember... an enemy that chases you is an easy ult. If they're right on your ***, just cast the ult straight forward and they'll run right into it. You can then squall them for an easy kill if they're not already dead.
Well... som1 said today or yesterday on this forum that Ao lacks finishing skill and I agree. U say that its easy to land ulti on som1 who chases U but well... only noob players can be shot down that way ;). and if enemy is near enough, he will just "go past" spirit tempest... UR right about trying to land tornadoes on enemy but when U reduce his health U have to ask for gank or something... rushing in mid with Ao is a bad idea cos he can be easily taken down with gank from jungler or something like that. And to be honest, Ao is great when it comes to outfarming enemy. Just push him to his tower, reduce his health and when he is tryin to push gank him.
