[Siveure DtTrikyp]

EVEN NIDALEE?? HOW COULD YOU!?!?!?!??!?! (srsly though blitzcrank is terrible)

Here's mine. Bracketed champions are stuff that I basically haven';t seen a reason to pick in ages.

Top: Irelia / (Shyvana) / Lulu / Nasus / (Quinn)
Jungle: Vi / Shyvana / (Morgana)
Mid: Orianna / (Karma) / (Morgana) / (Lux)
Adc: Quinn / Ashe / (Sivir)
Support: Nami / Thresh / Leona / (Karma) / (Lulu) / (Janna) / (Soraka)

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

Sure.

If you want to get out of bronze, the best idea is to only play the stuff that works if your enemy sucks.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

I hate teemo because nobody I ever play with has the skill or team co-ordination to play him well, so it's a "hope the enemy team screws up somehow" champion.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

Jason.

Teemo's global taunt does not actually exist, except in bronze. Once you get to a level where they don't mindlessly chase you all the time, it's a lot harder to play teemo well.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

I used to do morgana jungle.

It was pretty terrible. Now that I have actual junglers i don't want to touch it.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

That 20 champion free rotation.

Wow.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

I don't think there are many

Karthus?

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

^ That. Alt + Ctrl are the best.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

Um, phillammon

How is that relevant?

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

It's kinda freaky seeing someone else's name go in beneath yours.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

Relic shield.

Only ever buy it when your adc misses like half his last-hits.

If you don't know whether he'll hit lasthits or not, just take ruby crystal into sightstone.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

One more thing to note:

IF you definitely want to catch someone but you are the only one close enough to do anything, run into them and ult yourself. Not only do you knock them up, but while you are big you have a slowing aura for 7 seconds that starts out at 30%.

I remember one game where I was at one bar of HP and their cait was full health while our Elise was coming around the corner. Their support had seen him and was running away but I whimsy'd into the ADC so the ADC stayed to fight because I looked like a free kill. I then ulted myself, which gave me tons of health while knocking her up and by the time our Elise got there she could kill her. It's a very easy tactic that I don't see a lot of lulu players employ but is hilarious when you execute it well!

Note: Do NOT do this to start a teamfight. It just gets you killed.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

I tend to end up as the swiss 1v5er when i play nasus.

And the 1v9er isn't usually that bad in my experience, because nobody i ever play with or against has the least clue how to deal with splitpushing.

The ones I hate are faker sec, the "adult" and the bus driver. Seriously, bus drivers are horrible.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

I kinda want another mid-laner. My previous ones are orianna, lux, karma and morgana. Is there anything that can play similarish to those yet do stuff they don't?

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

Eh.

I was kinda thinking syndra a bit. Also mebbe karthus could work. Lulu is eh - I don't like playing lulu too much because I always feel like an asshole (too much toplane lulu does that to you). Also too supportish.

Like, grey is kinda right in what I'm looking for. Strengths/weaknesses don't really matter to me now. I'd kinda prefer it not to be supportish midlane boredomness. I do however want the mechanical complexity and buttonpressingness to be at a similar level (yuckleblancishard)

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

I think sona got nerfed slightly in preseason because rito internal testing said more gold on supports makes sona OP.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

Yeah.

I think in korea all sona skins were banned besides arcade sona because of the ult issues.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

Hey knight.

I'm EU.

If anyone else wants to make an EU team woo lets go with that

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

Okay

For Six (VI), I figured w-max because you USE W ALL THE TIME ON EVERYTHING LIKE CAMPS AND IN GANKS??!?!?!?!?!?
E-max is bad. The cooldown decrease doesn't give you more attacks when they matter usually, and the damage increase isn't important enough compared to the other skills.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

Every ad-carry shreds a LOT of stuff in 9 autos.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

About nami's E, don't forget about your passive. I basically cast E on whoever i want to give a slight movespeed boost to.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

Didn't riot change leblanc's ult the OTHER way in her rework because it only ever got used with Q?

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

I've had promos where it took 6-7 tries.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

Vayne is upset with that analysis

trist r has been used to synergize with yasuo at the world's already

At least every position has a way to

reliably

synergize with Yasuo now.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

Been having weird lagspikes in champ select beforehand.

Also the weird DC bug people have been having hasn't affected me... well, except when i play in 5s and I'm the only guy who connects xD.

I also had a kinda dc/lagspike splash up in champ select in 4th game of promos for like a minute. Normally fine, but that was the minute I was supposed to pick my champion.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

Well I think I'm giving up on gold this season.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

I'm missing like 80 champions.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

Yeah.

They either need to give all the smites conditionally decrease smite cooldown, or do something to rangers, because as it is you actually massively increase your smite downtime by taking the champion smites.

And poachers should maybe give you vision somehow? There's like no reason to take it atm.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

I'm not sure how she works when burrowed - maybe she's invisible, but the stuff they say later implies she isn't. Is she invulnerable while burrowed?

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

Really?

IME silver/gold feeds diamond about as much as bronze feeds gold/silver. And I'd much rather have a fed diamond player than a fed gold/silver.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

I got my first penta as vi.

I have NO idea what happened in that fight.

Also, elo hell can't be a thing because elo boosting is a thing.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

Wait.

WW's getting nerfed, the smite he gets is getting nerfed AND the enchantment is being nerfed.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

85/123.

Had LOADS of issues with all the noxians XD

Would have been 86 had I remembered who malzahar was.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

Annie has the super high base damages.

Well, had. When she was played.

Anyway, even though annie only has the one stun every so often she has like 3 ways to apply it so she has FLEXIBILITY.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

I think part of annie's appeal is she has a hard-engage onto a full team. Support Annie can flash ult to stun 3+ people. Veigar just can't.

And like, it doesn't matter what's viable for the pros. What matters is what's viable for everyone else, which is quiiite a lot bigger than what the pros can get away with.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

A competition i was in had a team called surrender @ 20, and doing so was their goal. And they failed. In all 4 games they played.

tbf, I don't think any of the players were 20 either.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

That's because gold/plat people see them as consistent OPs, purchase them, play them in ranked b/c OP and have no clue how to play them.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

Bronze Caitlyn

Ult fires instantly and refreshes cooldown if target is below 50/100/200 hp.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

To use it more, you need to not be saving it to get a kill on people who are really low, which is what I'm saying the "bronzies" do.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

You know why? BECAUSE ITS NOT EXTREME ENOUGH.

FIVE SMITES ALL THE WAY.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

I'm going to do it with 10 different champions, because 1) I tend to play like one champion per role and 2) I'm 3 games in and still eligible to try this.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

My opinion: pick 5 adcs for the enemy team. Then enjoy free teamfights.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

if cleanse works on suppression suppression champions become terrible?

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

Nasus in low elo is amazing when people are like "ohgod he's freefarming."

The only thing he likes more than a 1v0 lane where he gets to farm is a 1v1 lane where he gets to farm. Lol.

I think he encourages a playstyle (endless splitpush and farm) that majorly exploits low elo solo Q. If you stay in one lane forever, your lane opponent really, really doesn't want to spend all his time pushing the wave back, so you probably get towers or force multiple opponents to come for you (which gives your team time to do stuff). That said, this doesn't really work when your team loses early on.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

Is fiddlesticks e still rng?

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

A smurf on your team doesn't always make things easier. First, there are players that just aren't good enough to actually carry, even though they can stay at their main rank. Then there are people who forget they're on a smurf and flame you for sucking.

~Someone who failed gold V promos last season.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

*riven

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

BC isn't an on-hit effect though.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

BC is on applying physical damage. Runaans does physical damage so yes it procs on that.

Does ashe's q count as like 5 attacks?

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

I dont think you need to do a lot of magic damage to count as an ap damage threat. If they dont build mr, you still will do a bunch of damage, and if they do you've done your job.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

I've found my best results in gold come when i try to just not die. This is mostly due to me dying a ton when i dont try specifically to not die lol.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

Because a lot of games where one team has him the other team also has him lol.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

because generally when your winrate increase by 11% in one patch you go to an obscene number.

But ani, say there's a champion with a 20% winrate. If its winrate increase to 35% in one patch, would you ban it? It increased by a massive FIFTEEN percent.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

Zor, you obviously ban out your team because you can carry as long as your team aren't all feeding idiots or dcers

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

I've tried it in silverish level and you have huge mana problems early on if you want to actually trade.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

Pentakills are obviously best with full damage Vi!

(Note: if you actually get the kills, the fight is going kindof badly and it's rather stressful doing this)

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

Dangit venmar, spoiler that. If people aren't careful they see the answers.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

I think some of the issue with quinn is that her ult is on a ginormous cooldown, and doesn't have much power beyond the binary "Can I kill them or not with this?" Valor is cool and all, but you only get to be valor for 20 seconds out of every 140/110/80 (and you also have incentive to do really dumb stuff as valor)

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

Part of it is that if there is no natural tank, full ad does work. And yes, always blame the Midlands for being ad.

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

Things my champ can do that bard cant:

Be on both sides of the map in person within thirty seconds.
Get from base to anywhere on the map within 10 seconds.
Waveclear really really fast.

<3 valor
