7/3

I went Gold 4 down to Silver 1, quite happy with that.

That's for everyone here, basically Elise can solo Rift Herald fairly effectively from 6 onwards.

[RayFrost]

dwlee, I would have no issues with playing yasuo for the first time in over a year against your leblanc.

Also, that shouldn't be happening wazza - I faced a kassadin just yesterday and they had no issues with instant w, so I think it might be something on your end. Idk.

[Psyche]

i still haven't shaken my habit of mostly playing normals

[PJ.]

ugh...that trick is sooooo coool but than you're stuck being elise....uggghhhhhhhhhh

[Dwlee99]

Okay, when can you be on, ray? (EST Time)

Elise is amazing, i don't see your problem with her.

Mind you i am also building mostly movement speed tank (i kinda copied NB3's build)

Jungle Item > Runic Echos > Swiftness Boots > Rylai's (if ahead)/ Dead Man's (if behind) > Spirit Visage > Rylai's/Deadman's

If the game is still going by then judge what you need and take it.

Okay, when can you be on, ray? (EST Time)

Right now, EST time.

In an hour from now, EST time.

I live in Japan, what even is the current time EST.

[Dwlee99]

It is 10:53 EST. I will get on.

How is the free high speed wifi over there? >:3

[Ankamius]

this champ though

[Psyche]

So it seems that the thing to do when soloing the herald as heimy is to regularly step out of the pit when the herald's eye is open so that it'll be lured to one of heimer's active turrets and heimy can attack the eye from behind. For now it seems like the earliest level at which this can happen without putting heimy at a sliver of health is 8, and then only once he has morello's. However, taking drag makes soloing herald possible 1 or 2 levels early.

She's a fine champ, She's probably even very strong right now, but she's just not fit for a vast majority of the player base. She's like... less intuitive Lee Sin. The easiest way to win games at low elo is play champs that can't outplay themselves and have strengths that are easily exerted upon the game. Her strengths are harder to apply to a game then junglers that are equally strong or stonger than her. Why strive to be a highly skilled Elise player where in order to climb to mid elo you'd need to be much stronger when you can just play regular old bronze 1 Yi and climb just as high.

Edit: Seems like Dwee is about to learn the legend. The Legend of....TRACK PAD RAY!

[Dwlee99]

lol

[Psyche]

now if only people would stop banning him

[PJ.]

Never gonna happen. He has a catchphrase and it typically takes a WHILE for a heavy ban to disappear.

Yasuo is a pretty good example of that. He's considerably worse than his contemporaries at the moment and he still sees a 9% ban. And was seeing much more than that just a few weeks ago. Both new champs still see over 20% ban rates simply because they do things that are kinda strong and people don't understand them.

[Dwlee99]

I learned a lot about the yasuo - lb matchup. :3

[RayFrost]

Still gotta work on reflexively pressing e when the yasuo is clearly going to try and e into you.

Among other things, of course, but etc.

[Voidedmafia]

Back when I was gold, I destroyed a diamond level yasuo main because lolmalzahar.

Funny story: The first two games I played as Xerath (non-ARAM), I went up against Yasuo's and won both times. I think it was a bit more their failing than my skill because I'd imagine Yasuo should do at least even against Xerath (yeah, Xerath has long range and poke but Yas is more manueverable plus W).

Kinda actually want to play Jhin.

[quadz08]

man ashe is such a good solo q champ

[Iecerint]

I've been enjoying Karma support lately.

[Dwlee99]

Started maxing w, going blade of the ruined king into rfc while running 12/18. Yea it's better than my old build as vayne
