Welcome to my overall 16th guide and its foe
Poseidon God of the Oceans
|
Pros: + Good Mid + very fast movement speed with Trident and  Changing Tides+ Strong through mid/late game + fair early game + Release The Kraken! is a great ultimate and great for teamfights+ strong push with Whirlpool which also has a cripple effect on it and works well with Gem of Isolation+ small knock up with Tidal Surge+ can abuse his speed to doge and juke a large portion of skill shots and and even some aoe spells + can apply effects like Gem of Isolation and Spear of the Magus on many targets at once due to his aoe spells+ Trident makes his magical AA hurt a holy ton and Gem of Isolation makes them slow for the duration of Trident as if it were a  Gem of Binding |
|
Cons: - mostly Squishy through all staged of the game - Needs proper use of Changing Tides for best effect- Tidal Surge can be hard to hit at long range- Whirlpool needs a bit of time to form so a enemy with fast reactions can jump/dash before cripple can take effect- Release The Kraken! is countered by  Aegis Amulet and in case cripple and Whirlpool were not on the targeted enemy you may not land it due to a fast dash/jump- weak to slows if they land can really hurt the fast moving Poseidon style gameplay - weak to strong forms of CC such as stuns - weak to burst - not so good against strong self sustain like gods such as  Zhong Kui- Beware the Terror Known as
Loki... 85% of the time he can instantly kill you |
Passive:
: this is our passive some what self explanatory AA make it grow and makes you move up to 20% faster when full and makes your spells do up to 20% more damage when full casting a spell lowers the meter in general a great passive just make sure its full when going for a kill
spell 1:
: this is a long line skill shot that has a small knock up effect and deals fair damage can be used to cancel out some spells like 
Wing Gust
spell 2:
: this spell is asteroid that gives movement speed and give's your AA 2 additional waves that fill our passivethese waves deal magic damage and will apply Gem of Isolation
spell 3:
: this spell is a circle AoE like spell that has a pull towards it center works great with Gem of Isolation
spell 4:
: this our ultimate its a 2 circle like AoE if you hit with the inner circle the targets are knocked up take more damage and are stunned in general this the skill that 
Poseidon is most well known by and we love it with full tide it can deal up to near 600 magic damage
1.
we get these Shoes of Focus for there CDR AP and mana
2.
we get the Gem of Isolation for the slow on all our spells its AP and other stats are also nice
3.
we get the Polynomicon for its obvious Passive the other stats are also great
4.
we get Rod of Tahuti for its large AP boost the additional stats that is MP5 is also good
5.
we get the Spear of the Magus for its large pen the other stats are also useful
6.
we get this Ethereal Staff for its large boost to HP which lets us live and its decent AP as well
Ethereal Staff for 
Sovereignty if the enemy team had 4/5 AD based gods or so
1.
Purification Beads to save us from hard CC
2. Aegis Amulet to save us from burst
3.
Shielded Teleport to move really fast to a unepected fight or to run away from a bad situation after butting up some distance
4.
Eye of Providence if you need wards
As
you want Mid lane though you can solo you prefer mid
Whirlpool in general play passive till LVL 5 Whirlpool & Release The Kraken! combo followed by a Tidal Surge for a kill if they dont die you can use Trident to finish them off Release The Kraken! for a teamfight and taking out the main carry targets ect..1. Whirlpool + Polynomicon hit + Tidal Surge this is your mid game strong poke hit and late game it can kill sometimes depending on who your hitting after this cast Trident and follow up with some AA to finish them off it will also trigger a 2nd Polynomicon hit
2. Whirlpool + Release The Kraken! + Polynomicon hit + Tidal Surge + 2nd Polynomicon hit + Trident + follow up AA this is your Killing Combo mid/late game thats usually a 100% kill on any non tank target even heavy bruiser lose 85% - 95% of there HP with this thing
Whirlpool at a enemy god as there moving with the actual wave and hope it ticks on them a few times ect...|
Strong Points: - fair push - good self sustain - high protections with his  Demon Bag- good CC - CC immune in ult for 5 sec(YES 5 Full sec) |
Threat LvL:Dangerous Counters: 1.Early Push = force him into the tower he cant whipe a wave till LvL 3 or so take advantage of this 2.well coordinated ganks that blast him with a lot of skills CC and 2 ultimate spells killing him before he can even react 3.his stun spell lacks range if your careful you can avoid it 4. late game you can combo burst him with some pen items and ect... |
weak points: + he has no dash/jump like escape mechanic + weak to well timed ganks when his passive is down + lack of many weaknesses makes Zhong Kui players overconfident letting you take advantage of them or at least some of them... |
|
Strong Points: - strong push somewhat batter then ours - has a long range poke spell  Spirit Ball- has a silence slow magic protection de-buff spell - her ultimate can let her survive or counter our burst if well used - great for setting up ganks - hard to catch when running away - moves faster while casting Wing Gust- no backpedal penalty while using Wing Gust- if her passive somehow manges to get stacked she becomes much harder to deal with |
Threat LvL:High |
Weak points: + very squishy if she messes up her ult while trying to counter ours she dies + weak to various forms of CC + her Wing Gust can be canceled out with our Tidal Surge hard to do but can stop a lot of her damage from ever reaching us+ her Spirit Ball is a skill shot to a degree and can be avoided at long range with out speed+ she is weak to ganks even more so if the jungler has a stun/ or knock up like spell to stop Wing Gust+ she cant detonate Spirit Ball while under the effect of CC so a cast of tidal surge as he is casting Spirit Ball towards you can make the spell backfire of the timing is right+ quite squishy |
Overall Poseidon is a very strong pick for the mid lane and optional for the solo lane and i hope my guide helps you out the match ups will grow bit by bit as i update and work on all possible counters and ect... also let me know which presentation you like more for match ups A.counter writen at the middle or B.counter writen bellow the actual icon
