A History of the Power Ceiling
I've included teams that weren't exactly the new ceiling, but was too dominant to leave out.

I'm kind of doubting if she will be involved in stellar reactions due to Odette stealing the cryo spot, but I also don't want to not have Odette on banner night if she is in fact a stellar reaction unit.
Unlike Columbina who's kit was as obvious as it can get, I'm not sure we'll have anything before Odette's banner ends.
I was a potato gamer from eighth grade to the end of college. I would close Steam, Battle.net, HoyoLab, OneDrive, and ask my friends to use the in game VC instead of Discord... because it meant 60fps instead of 45 in Valorant.
I recently got an RTX 5080 + 9850x3d build. I can get 500+fps in any esports title, with some such as Valorant exceeding 800fps. On booting any game, I still muscle memory to close Steam, close Windscribe, close battle.net, close everything I don't need.
....
I'm browsing Chrome right now. It felt wrong that Steam and Discord were running. I had to close them or I wouldn't feel comfortable.
Yes you lose the exp hacks.
In return you get:
-much safer lane
-8% adap
-tier 3 swifties that get multiplied by 8% adap
Lich bane pairs so well with mid quest as well. At 3 items were back to having 500+ ap
Attack speed and dps don’t matter. Average masters+ comp is ranged top assassin jungle. You will NEVER see 2 non support tanks on the same team.
Also in the super late game, 8% adap and tier 3 swifties are much better than 2 levels since Kayle has no use for base stats but has the highest ratios in the game.
They had a nice theme going, where dragon heroes had ultimates that broke the rules of the game, be it map-wide freeze, instakills, etc...
In contrast Alliance dragons had ultimates indistinguishable from normal heroes.
In Genesis, I think they should bring it back. Dragon heroes should actually have less powerful auto attacks and basic spells than the tier 1 premium heroes, but should absolutely wow the player with their ultimates.
Do not have to 100% anything, just get the bulk of the primogems.
Notes:
============================================================
"COMFORTABLE" means achievable by 95% of players, as long as they are willing to put in the effort:
- Sustainless (unless already built in)
- Includes advanced combos such as CDC Mavuika, but not astronomically hard, macro requiring combos
- Top 1-15% artifacts
I'm aware of absolutely insane Dire clears like all 4 stars or 1 cost Mavuika 3 star weapon. Those are beyond of what 95% of players can do.
============================================================
IMPORTANT:
Non Shill refers to a TOP meta team who does not get hard countered by the boss. This refers only to teams like Mavuika, Lunar, Varka Premium, Skirk...
============================================================
I used the Nefer team as a visual example of each level of investment because all top meta teams are structured exactly like this. I'm aware Lauma sig is really bad compared to other dedicated support sigs like Escoffier, Ineffa, Linnea...
Investment priorities always goes:
DPS > Dedicated Support >>> General Support > 4th Slot.
C2R1 matters alot for Main DPS
C2 matters alot for Dedicated Support (e.g. Lauma, Ineffa, Citlali, Durin, Linnea, Escoffier)
C0 matters alot for General Support (e.g. Columbina, Furina, Xilonen)
Do not invest in 4th slot unless they share a banner, such as Prune, Illuga...
Any modern C2 is almost always worth more than it's equivalent cost in non C2s. In this example, the team for Shill Dire becomes stronger if you replace Lauma Sig and Columbina Sig with Nefer C2 or Lauma C2. Likewise, the team right under would be stronger if you replace the signatures for Nefer C2 + Lauma C2. I opted to show signatures over C2s because they are more realistic for non whales and can be obtained over a longer period of time.
Any modern C6 DPS one shots any boss with 0 investment required in their supports. A C6 main DPS is almost always the most efficient 10 cost team.
Title
First of all: yes its very low elo, yes I played it like shit. I don't play Zeri or ADC (Azir Sona Seraphine main).
This is taking WASD to the next level, to the point where it's literally cheating. I'm controlling my movement using controller joystick input, which allows omnidirectional movement while removing any need for traditional kiting mechanics. It's also all done on the thumb which frees the rest of my left hand. I can also dodge skill shots much easier since its much faster to jitter or change direction on a joystick than by clicking.
The aiming is still done on the right hand using my mouse.
Ya I have 0 shame. I’m going to play my first game today. If there’s a specific gun or character that is known to be unfair in the bottom of the trash can elo, please tell me.
As a League veteran I’m aware of how some people stagnated their progress by YEARS by picking the wrong characters. I don’t want it to happen to me.
With the nerf to attack speed conversion, many of us dropped tempo due it being massively nerfed. However, I do not believe this is the case.
If you go this build (which is also the proven best build): stormrazor, zeal, IE, LDR, berserkers, while going tempo, triumph, bloodline, cutdown (or gluttonous alacrity).
You will cap out at exactly 1.5 (or 1.69 in ult) attack speed at level 18 full build, 6 stacks of lethal tempo.
This means the attack speed gained from lethal tempo is PURE ATTACK SPEED. No attack speed is ever converted to AD using the new nerfed ratio. When we were building Yuntal and Fiendhunters, we were massively over the attack speed cap, so most of tempo was converted to AD, but with this new build it doesn't seem to be the case anymore.
I want to pick up this champion on a second account due to the WASD changes. However, I only like playing the absolute hardest scaling champs in the game, evident by my current pool consisting of Azir, Aurelion Sol, and Sona.
Suppose I load up into a Jinx. Is it still correct to say that if the game goes to 6 items, my champion will be just as capable at carrying as theirs? Or will Jinx have a significant advantage over me?
