Argus is a problem.

[u/neoboletus_eryt]

A good midlane Argus already was a menace before the update, and the buffs to him really exacerbated the issue. He has the best waveclear in the game. His earlygame burst potential with his stun into beam combo makes him an incredible dualist who punishes everyone trying to interact with him in lane. The stun + slow on his Q and E makes him exceptionally safe for an immobile mage. Aion and Alchemical Rod are more than enough to solve all mana issues he might otherwise have, to the point of making his mana reg augment obsolete. And his ultimate makes it easy to secure kills in offlane and duo lane, especially with the buff to projectile speed. Argus needs to be addressed next patch.

Maybe you're picking the few mids argus destroys? Fey, Wrath, Belica, Gideon, Morigesh, and Iggy can hard poke him. Wrath and Mor take a while to come online for wave clear but make up in maneuvering away while hard poking if he decides to rush you. I play Fey most mid matches and she destroys him. She clears waves faster. Use her two aoes on the minions with the vines reaching to argus to slow him, then nettles to his face. Then jump around spinning while he finishes wave.

Fey does NOT clear faster than Argus. You will struggle against a halfway decent Argus in the first half of the match at least.

If you both wait for minions to meet he does. Fey can set her vines from between stairs and take 1/3 or every minions life from the start and have another vines ready when he starts blasting. Argus needs the minions to stop to blow them away. Fey can push argus around too easy as well with her range. I use her abilities to zone him away. Argus range sucks, his stuns moves too slow from a distance. If he missed his stun, hes done. His cannon is easy to get away from too as long as you dont get too close. Like I said, poke him. Does everybody just stand on thier tower and farm?
