Kled Power Spikes (Patch 26.19)

Mid

When Kled Mid gets stronger, in the order it happens in a typical ranked game: ability unlocks from the most common skill order, item spikes at the median minute players finish them, and the game length Kled wins most.

Lv 3
All three basic abilities at level 3
Kled's full combo is online — the first point where trading all-in is realistic.
Lv 6
Ultimate rank 1 at level 6
The biggest early spike: look for a kill or a roam as soon as Kled hits it.
Lv 11
Ultimate rank 2 at level 11
Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Kled can start or win.
Lv 16
Ultimate rank 3 at level 16
Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Kled can start or win.
12.6 min
First item at 12.6 min
Titanic Hydra is done — Kled's first real damage or durability spike.

Item timings are medians: half of players finish later. Fall behind in farm and every item spike moves back with it.

Kled Mid Laning Plan

Kled recovers well from behind: a lost lane is not a lost game, so keep farming and wait for teamfights. On average Kled Mid is 154 gold ahead of the lane opponent at 15 minutes and ahead in 56% of games. A 1,000-gold lead at 15 turns into a 41% win rate; a 1,000-gold deficit leaves 47%. Kled averages 1.37 solo kills by 15 minutes.

Kled Mid and Late Game

What Kled does better or worse than other champions after laning, from this patch's ranked games — percentiles where 100 is the highest of every champion.

Play to these strengths

Side-lane pressure pays: Kled rates 98/100 for damage to buildings. Push a side wave while the team holds mid.
Kled soaks damage well (percentile 84): stand between the enemy and your carries.
Play around dragons, Grubs and Baron — Kled rates 72/100 for objective control.
Kled is a main damage source (72/100): stay alive and in range for the whole fight rather than diving first.
Kled wins 11.9 points more in long games than short ones: avoid coin-flip fights early and let the game go long.

Playing Kled

Kled generates some courage by killing minions, but gets much more from fighting Champions.
The last hit of Violent Tendencies deals more damage than the first three - make sure you hit it!
Chaaaaaaaarge!!! can be cast at a great range. Try and predict where the enemy team will be by the time you reach them.

Playing Against Kled

Kled generates courage by damaging enemies with his Pocket Pistol and basic attacks, killing minions, and attacking structures or epic monsters.
Watch Kled's courage bar when he's off his mount - when it reaches 100%, he will remount and regain a significant amount of health.
Kled is much more threatening when he has Violent Tendencies ready.
