Also, I also find it very hard to side-step attacks. Sometimes I even anticipate it but I get hit anyways. People tell me I move ''too predictably'' but when I try to move around more erratically I miss CS and end up getting hit almost just as much.
I can do incredible things on a keyboard or with a Playstation control but if you want me to move a character around using a mouse by clicking fast, reflexively and accurately... oh dear...
Due to this, I pretty much can't farm with any reasonable degree of consistency unless I'm playing someone with an ability that helps to farm (such as Annie or Veigar) at the higher eloes (or someone who relies on getting close to the minions to farm like Garen).
Well distance I can't really say, but your base damage and minion health combined with the 5% of AP as auto damage mastery makes it so that your auto damage scales fairly similarly with the minions hp, so whenever the minion health bar gets to a certain point you should be killing it.
Furthermore most ranged APs have built in waveclear so help in CSing, I can't really think of any ranged AP champs without some form of waveclear or farming assist.
Ah I see...
I've been practicing with Vladimir repeatedly and am now getting a bit better at it. Assuming I don't get bullied out of lane (unfortunately that does happen especially when I get matched against an aggressive Riven or Renekton), I can generally get 50+ farm at the 10 minute mark now and without over-pushing.
I am still surprised Vladimir isn't popular. I mean COME ON! You can buy the Marquis skin and play and fight as a Tom Cruise Lestat character! There's just nothing more epic!
I miss that random match where it was Vladimir against Vladimir. Most epic thing ever. It was Marquis Vladimir vs Blood Lord Vladimir. Some SERIOUSLY epic duel, I wish I had recorded it. The blood was flying around everywhere. It was Lestat/Alucard vs Dracula.
