Nice play! Those who can't see what alcoves are useful for lack imagination.

I love the alcoves! It makes playing ranged toplaners even funner, since I have even more ways to use my range against the melee champions without retaliation. Just yesterday I made a Darius ragequit as Annie top, since there was nothing he could do while I ran in circles around that little wall.

Did he at least have Doran's shield?

After his first death, yeah. There really wasnt anything he could do, I just kept the center brush warded and ran in circles anytime he tried to get testy.

I like the idea of the alcoves, but they really do make ranged v melee a complete joke now. It's not fun to be on the receiving end of it, and it feels so dirty to abuse

It's not something we've seen much in internal testing. He could have perhaps played towards opposite side of wave and awaited gank relief? Sounds like you'd cornered yourself in that instance.

I appreciate I wasn't there to see it.
