Artemis vs Assassins help

My question here is. When playing as Artemis are there any strategies to enploy when facing assassins. Especially Loki. Another question is. Is Loki affected by her crippling vines?

Please can anyone help me out. Constructive advice will greatly help. I love this character but find that certain assassins can just drop her with no counter to the attack.

With there's no real counter aside from + aegis if he ults you. You have to rely on your team to protect you, good map awareness does wonders in terms of protecting yourself from assassins when playing a god that has no escapes like .

Some extra tips would be: your ultimate is CC immune, can get you out of ults like and the like if you use it preemptively. is a great tool, even while running away (and yes is affected by it). Finally, against most assassins, + is a godsend for survival, if you can't outrun them, then is the better choice to sprint.

You gotta love the counterplay.

Edit: Zilby pretty much said the obvious - use no-counterplay actives and CC immunity ult. Of course, you'll have to spend gold, putting you even further behind, which is no guarantee it'll even work, and if you're behind, you might as well surrender because an Artemis behind is a CC bot unless the enemy team is stupid enough to not gank your face off. You might be able to be a CC bot - oh wait, you'll be using your ult to avoid dying.

Yes thank you. There were times where I felt like Loki was jaws and the theme song would play then get eaten just like the dumb teenagers. So was hoping there was something reliable I could do to counter him sneaking up on me.

On another note I don't really like to counter pick. Like the name implies counter picking feels counter productive to learning your character for all situations. The again if you play the counter pick well that doesn't matter. Me I like to play characters I like and learn how to handle scenarios that would normally be bad for them and try to counter the scenario instead.

I had no idea her ult gave cc immune thanks

This is just a theory, but I think Ares does a good job of countering Loki.

Not because of the ult thing, although that is a factor. Mainly, it's because Ares' protections aura makes it harder for Loki to oneshot and walk away. Combined with your tank items, +60 protections is nothing to scoff at.

I totally respect that... but some characters have too many "bad" situations.
That's basically the problem with and . They have bad escapes, which make them easy prey for assassins. They can make it... if your team is smart enough to adapt to your pick:
- Having that can taunt the assassins away from you for instance or having 's shield will definitly help
- Having a mid-laner that will call for rotations and ward efficiently

It's quite frustrating to die because you have the feeling you're not being supported by your team.
If you play casual with random people, I strongly suggest to take easier picks (with better escapes), but that's up to you.

On the same subject, I also have a question.
I am rank 10 with and I can't even answer this and be 100% sure, what a noob I am.

Do ult, , will attack while he is ed ?

For example :

is alone in her lane, and she hears , which means he is close.
There is no doubt on where he is going, so she is in trouble.
If she pops her ult, will it attack him even if she can't see him, so that she can run away ?

I would have tested it myself, but such specific interaction scenarios between gods are hard to test unless you have a friend to help you.

My guess is that yes, it will attack him once he enters the range of the boar.
Thus it would reveal and stun him.

Bullfrog, I'm guessing also that yes, the Boar would still attack .

If I'm on the same time you are, we can confirm in a custom match if you'd like.

I can confirm it doesn't.

PS : It does if you go invisible AFTER she spawns the Boar, and you're the first target. If the boar's up but you got invisible before she spawned it, then yes, it won't attack.
