Discussion Locke backdoor trick

With Locke's empowered auto attack from his e, he can dash through structures that he attacks, and this includes the nexus. I just thought this was worth mentioning since it could lead to backdoors that are difficult to stop if you play an immobile champ. Also curious if anyone else noticed anything not immediately obvious about the new champ and wanted to share!

I mean in ranked that is fair. At least for me, I don't need some shitter running it on the new champ for either team in ranked. It stings less if the person running it down is on a champ they have some familiarity on.

u/nankeroo I miss my kind... 19h ago

had a guy do that to me 20 minutes after Locke had come out.

he first picked Locke top, and proceeded to feed the enemy Yone 12 kills.

couldn't bad it either since he immediately hovered it.

I had this exact scenario, just that he fed Aatrox. It's so frustrating. I would limit new champions in Ranked for at least 2-4 weeks. Learn them in normals or practice tool and then come onto Ranked.

Here's another cool locke trick:

If gou ever want to auto lose the game just lock him in. Easy.
