What makes Locke dangerous
Locke's attacks burn bonus magic damage scaling with your MISSING health, he marks with soul nails and consumes the marks for burst, ignites his own soul for attack/move speed (healing back after), teleport-dashes onto targets, and his ultimate can EXECUTE — growing stronger for each champion sealed.
How to play against Locke
- 1Don't fight him at low HP — his whole kit scales on your missing health.
- 2His W burns his own health — punish the self-damage window before the heal-back.
- 3Back off when marked by nails — the consume burst is the kill setup.
- 4His E teleport has a readable wind-up — CC the arrival point.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓Execute-oriented: healthy targets blunt his whole kit.
- ✓W self-damage is a real window if you interrupt the payoff.
- ✓Squishy assassin stats under focus.
- ✓Snowball-dependent seals — deny kills and the ult stays weak.
Abilities & how to counter them
What each of Locke's abilities does — and how to play around it.
P
圣银穿心洛克的攻击会附带额外的魔法伤害,伤害值基于敌人的已损失生命值而提升。
Strong: on-hit magic that grows with your MISSING health. Weak: healthy targets blunt it — sustain hard, fight full.
Q
伏魔三钉洛克依次击出三颗驱魔大钉,对命中的敌人们造成伤害,并附上一层印记。洛克的攻击可以引爆印记,造成额外伤害。
Strong: nail volleys mark you; consumed marks fuel burst attacks. Weak: back off while marked — the consume window expires.
W
灵焰仪式洛克点燃自己的灵魂,从而获得攻击速度和移动速度,但会不断对自身造成伤害。技能结束时,洛克将回复一部分在技能持续期间受到的伤害。
Strong: attack/move speed surge with delayed self-heal. Weak: it BURNS his own health first — punish the debt window.
E
灰猎无影洛克传送至目标位置,并在下一次攻击时朝目标冲刺,对途经的敌人们造成伤害。
Strong: teleport-then-dash onto a target — assassin reach. Weak: the arrival is readable — hold CC for the blink.
R
万魔狱洛克扔出封印法器来对命中的敌人们造成伤害并且有可能将其处决。成功处决敌人会为洛克提供增益效果。
Strong: a binding execute that grows stronger per soul sealed. Weak: snowball-gated — deny early kills and the artifact stays dull.
Itemization
Stay healthy (sustain > resists), punish his self-burn window, and starve the seal snowball.
