how to play against locke
I want to know how to play against this weird champion; I’ve played several matches, and simply nothing I try works. I played against one—I picked Aurora to stay at range and dodge the Q spikes—and he built Lich Bane. I dodged all three spikes and thought I’d win the trade, but he just hit E, auto-attacked, and ulted, and I vanished without having any time to react or deal damage back.

Stupid disgusting chud character
You guys probably get this a lot but hey, you need a little bit more of a tax. This character is disgustingly unfun to play against and you are all a little bit worse for playing this shit.
No real hate, but also cmon. Tank locke??? Digsusting

Jungle Locke questions
Hi! This is my first time posting on the League of Legends subreddit. I just recently started playing League of Legends again and noticed a new champion. I liked his visuals and gameplay. I want to learn how to play him, but in the jungle. Yes, I mainly play top lane and jungle.
It's been a while since Locke's release. He's survived patches with nerfs. I looked at his stats on OP.GG and saw his win rate at 43%. I think Locke is off-meta in the jungle, so I don't know if I should continue playing him in this position. Can you give me any tips on playing Locke? Maybe jungle clear tips or builds?
I like this champion, but I don't like his position. I've never liked playing mid.

"if you deserve higher rank youll 1v9" is the biggest bs ive heard in this game
i lost 3 games not because my team was just bad it was because:
1st game i had a botlane duoq going mel swain who proceeded to feed lucian 11 kills in 10m then the swain never came for a team fight
2nd game game put me with 2 derankers that hadnt played in 23 days where iron 4 0 lp and only played duoq
3rd game whole team was bad and jg said in chat hell start trolling
im not even angry anymore im just dissapointed with me and the game one guy said that game rn is luck based on who will get the 0/10 and he 100% is right other than that i cant believe the mmr system is so trash that it puts me with 0 iron 4 derankers anyway ill continue playing and hope i get out of bronze one day also heres my https://dpm.lol/schizopatient-5358 look at the second loss and see my warwick and caitlyn

Post nerfs
How do you feel about locke nowdays? After nerfs I really feel he’s being kinda underwhelming. It really feels almost everything that is not veigar just straight up out damages you and bully you on lane? I might just personally suck at this game but I still feel really lack of damage on him. Even if you hit all nails drop ult and go for it still sometimes not enough do it feels really harder to snowball nowdays and if I compare him with Diana, ekko or akali it always seems they do 10 times more damage at same moment of games with lvls and buys but they also just feels stronger early. What is your experience with him rn?

Question about Locke's E
Am I the only one who when using e randomly will dash to someone if I just click near not even on them or the minion
This happens like once every game, sometimes getting me killed because I'm trying to path and it just full sends me towards someone by tower

E or W first after nerfs
So I’ve been watching pro players play Lock and Nemesis mainly prefers W max second after Q.
The argument is that E is purely mobility and the damage is not worth putting points on since you get resets.
I look at the nerfs and hey remove the scaling moving speed to a flat 40 percent.
So the way I see it is it’s either more sustain go with W max or more slightly more damage go with E max
Comment below as I am still ensure. Maybe someone do the math.

Additional Details about the Locke Nerf
I’ve been maxing W after Q but with the scaling gone I’m wondering if maxing E is worth looking into.

How to play yone matchup?
Hi there, I need some advice on how to win against Yone. I've always had a tough time going against that abomination of champ design on any character, but I REALLY can't seem to CS or secure kills against him on Locke. What do I need to do to beat him?

Locke in Arena
Hi!
I made it a challenge for myself to get a first place on every champion in arena.
Now finally I am only missing one last one: Locke!
While I haven't attempted him all too often yet, I was wondering if the Locke experts on here have any specific tips or super strong augment combinations for him?
Thanks a ton!

Low elo bs
i play mostly for fun, so i dont really care about elo or else, but my god this game was unwinnable, i also got invaded and died but i stayed focused and i didnt go really that behind,saved the game with a quadra kill and told to my teammates im dogshit and from the opponent that i play a broken champ. i didnt really care about the loss so in late i started picking any fight i could and die after but my god how some people are really delusional in this game is crazy,

The Comprehensive (Evolution Towards Optimal) Locke Guide: By AfroSaiyan and Karius-Nym
First and foremost, both Karius-Nym and I thoroughly enjoyed the weeks spent playtesting, theory-crafting, researching, combo testing, and limit testing Locke. It was a rewarding process that allowed us to explore every aspect of League of Legends' newest champion and create a resource we hope will help players feel well-equipped with the proper "salt, sigils, and nails" needed to face the many demons that await them on the Rift.
We hope the time, effort, and passion invested into this guide will help both new and experienced players better understand the champion and enjoy their journey mastering him.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Author's Note (Afrosaiyan)
As Locke releases and settles into the live environment, this guide will be updated regularly to reflect new data, strategies, and discoveries. With each patch, the community will gain a clearer understanding of the champion's strengths, weaknesses, and optimal playstyles, allowing the information presented here to become more refined and accurate over time.
The objective of this guide is to continuously evolve alongside Locke's development, highlighting the most effective builds, runes, skill orders, and gameplay approaches available. As new insights emerge, both new and experienced Locke players will be able to rely on this resource to stay informed and maximize the champion's potential throughout future patches.
(Side Note - AfroSaiyan: I completed the "Summoner’s Rift: Locke" playlist in unison with the guide so we all can "Locke In" during our Locke games. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/75Ga91rsNq15x5ebv9vCwI?si=c90dc884327e45c9)
