Isn't PD better than Kraken?

Ik bork is that one chick we always return back to but lot of GM/challenger players build Kraken into squishies. I used to love kraken as well but it feels kind of off. Yasuo gets full crit in 2 items and the only reason we delay that powerspike with bork is because it has sustained damage and kraken doesnt have lifesteal. It doesnt have max health damage. So isn't building kraken basically delaying your powerspike for a delusion?

With the recent crit buff i think PD is ungodly strong rn i also like how easy it is to eq ult with pd because of high attack speed. You also get the armor pen damage from your ult since it only procs on crits.

Ik everybody is fixated on that fleet+stormrazor build brohan abuses lately and sleeps on PD.

Question, are you guys aware that your champ is weak and you're not pinkward?

I really ask this question in a non-hostile way. I geniunely am curious because everytime i have a shaco on my team they get jungle gapped pretty bad. For once, shaco can't really solo objectives early and ganks aren't really great either. I honestly have no idea about clear speed because shaco players never seem to farm properly. I consider myself lucky if my shaco jungle has 7cs/min.

I'm really tired of my jungler picking shaco while enemy picks like nocturne and completely pegs our team. And everytime enemy team has shaco either bot lane or mid lane gets camped because those are where shaco farms kills easily. And yeah we win no matter what happens because enemy basically has no jungler.

Atp i lose all my mental when i see shaco player in my team. I legit don't mind if we have shaco support or even top lane. But jungle is like the most important role and shaco suck balls bruh.

So are you guys really enjoying this champ or y'all just coping thinking you're a genius mastermind strategists because you play shaco

okay how bad idea is demolish on this champ

(I've made this build for the lower elos around plat and what not where games take too long and you lose games no matter how the laning goes.)

So you go Grasp, because i think it's very very underrated in mid lane i mean it's definitely better than fleet, you get heal, max hp and bonus damage on proc its actually insanely worth especially against lane bully mages where you only try to survive the lane. But all and all, it's fine into pretty much any matchup. Also we take Grasp so demolish will have value.

So Grasp->demolish->bone plating/second wind->overgrowth/unflinching (preferably overgrowth for the bonus health, for demolish again.)

You go alacrity and triumph second. Or absorb life it's preference.

For items, its the default Conq PD build. I like to go yuntal if i can get BF first recall. Now i know lot of people won't agree on TP on yone, especially in mid lane but i take tp with this setup so i can split push and get value from demolish.

I got this idea from BZ zeds bastion breaker first item build, tried it out myself and having a gimmick that gets fast plates is really op, you get fed so easily. So i imitate it with demolish. And you get value from bonus max hp and healing in general.

I think if youre playing to be a split pusher top lane makes more sense considering you get free tp but I don't play top lane so idk if it works well for all i know tempo is pretty much necessity in top.

Can we talk about how insufferable Annie is?

Between all the bad matchups like leblanc, lis, pant etc. this is the only one that makes me wanna cut my wrists instead of playing League. It's manageable until level 6, and i do get solokills, but after level 6 it's straight up unplayable. I tried tempo, fleet, grasp... She holds E for 4th stack and whenever i try to engage she press E get away from me W stun me and dump her full combo which usually instantly one shots me. If windwall blocked her W this matchup wouldve been much more balanced for both sides this way im just there in lane to wait and get pegged. Even playing safe isn't possible, she use E to run at me, flash stun ignite and ult. Quite literally oneshots me every time.

I think with yone it's a bit more playable because you can leave with E but it's not any good anyway really, I'm yone OTP.

I don't wanna ban her, because she doesn't have a high pick rate. Id rather ban Akali or LeBlanc. But honestly do you guys geniunely know how to play this matchup or ever win it?

Why is kraken forbidden on this champ?

Nobody ever builds kraken on Yone while a lot of challenger players build it on yasuo and i wanna know why. I experimented with kraken today, nothing special just kraken first item and rest is the same- although thanks to kraken i built defensive boots in some exceptions- and the damage was incredible. Champ hits like an absolute truck with kraken and if you build zerks you have even more attack speed. And because LDR is disgustingly op against tanks you can always rush it 3rd item and leave IE for last and be efficient against tanks as well. Enlighten me, am i trolling by building this item because im planning to build this item 90% of my games.

this is a rant.

Sylas is the most disgusting champion in this entire game. He is my perma ban, but today i made a mistake of banning Akali, and enemy mid picked Sylas. I simply never got used to this champ. He is strong early, mid, late... Never falls off, always is useful and strong... Whether if it's his stupid damage, stupid sustain or his point and click ult stealing ability which you can perform in a very safe distance. He just needs to land one e and he oneshots you like an assassin but he can fight like hell like a bruiser or even a tank. And as if he wasn't disgusting enough individually, he is disgusting as fuck in teamfights because he can always steal a teamfight god ult like malphite.

For anybody going to say it's a skill issue, i know sylas mains are toxic because they like mirroring their own insecurity of being an absolute no good dumbass, fuck you all. I don't have the slightest bit of respect for any Sylas main and every breath i take without a sylas mains approval raises my self esteem.

Build against assassins and burst champions

Yone is said to be a scaling champion and he is, but he never ever stops being so damn fragile. You can never 1v9 like an actual top laner and you're usually quite useless in team fights without your ult so today i tried more of a tanky build because enemy had a bunch of cc and burst.

I went with grasp, rushed wit's end first item (liss matchup ekko jg) then pd, ie, tabis, randuin then game ended (our vayne top inted so bad against naafiri and he just oneshotted everybody). It was working really fine in the lane and mid game until it didn't anymore.

Is there a way to make this work better? Can i climb out of plat with grasp yone? Honestly LT never feels worth. And can you carry games 1v9 with yone mid? I feel like in mid my kill pressure is really low because mid lane picks have a lot of disengage options. So even when i dominate lane I can't get past 3-0 in laning and enemy team almost always has someone a lot more fed than i am (jungle and top always have more kill pressure because 3 lane you can gank or longer lane)

Going Conq all games

I was a Yone main when i started then took a huge break from mid lane but recently im back to Yone. I saw some of tempest's videos and gave a shot. I don't even remember last time i went with tempo rn. Conq feels really good to me and I've been winning a lot with it. What you guys think am i inting or is this really good?

Help iemization for assassins.

I like experimenting with different items because buying the same stuff every game feels boring. But I'm confused about when to buy what?

​

For champs like talon, zed, kayn most build paths include Serylda's but i see a lot of players buying LDR instead. Isn't LDR supposed to be a DPS item? When should i buy which? LDR does health based damage- but so does Eclipse and Cyclosword.

​

And for anti-armor, i can go Serylda's, LDR or Cleaver.

​

When should i buy what, is sticking to full lethality most optimal? And how much should i stack items. Like is buying Voltaic + LDR fine? Both do max health damage does that damage stack up? Or what if i threw in Eclipse too?

​

I'm really short busted when it comes to stats and item passives etc. so help a brother out

I can't forget her. I dont want to.

I met this girl in my freshman year in high school. I don't think I'm handsome (will matter later) but i was the best looking one in my class and she was the best looking one in our class too. So we kinda instantly matched by friends -by us too- we spent time together and had fun y'know highschool shit. We never got to be close friends because i was avoidant due to lack of confidence, experience and i thought she was just a crush and it'd go away. She was avoidant because she was incredibly shy w me. But she was (and is) the most genuine, kind and compassionate person i know till' this day. But even back then she was too childish which i despised. We always talked and flirted at random nights, we were always hot and cold. She gave me signs every time, i was the one giving mixed signals i didn't mean. It was the first year. From there on, she got mature. She wasn't childish anymore but her joyfulness was just the same as ever. She had become the perfect person for me. It was almost like i wrote her down titled "girl of my dreams" and my wish came true. I had a pretty bad basketball career despite working hard, got bullied, i was weak -physically and mentally- and my confidence was all over i could never have talked to her and at this point i officially knew she liked me. Not into me, really loved me. Cried over me etc... but it felt so unfair to me back then. I was trash and she was gold i couldn't let her have me for that and we both suffered for my stupid decision.

A bunch more happened but let's wrap it a bit. In our senior year i was depressed as shit, started smoking, burnt myself several times stressing over college, family and obviously, her. I was considering suicide seriously, always on the floor crying every night hoping someone close- like some family- would see me and help me. I decided to let go of one of my problems -her. I opened up to her. It was pretty cinematic really, school garden was empty, sunny but chilling walking 'round the school. She was very kind and considerate. She told me she knew -just like i did. Told me her feelings were long gone and that she waited for me too long. She'd never hurt me, and didn't. She said this was bad because every end of each year her friends and my friends would gather together go out kinda like a ritual and it'd be fun y'know catching up and shit. And i told her we can still do it and i wouldn't mind. I only confessed so i could at least close the door once and for all. She said good for you then and we split up. I thought we changed after that but the truth is i was. I was a lot more confident but broken inside. Constantly avoided her at school, never even went to her new class to see my friends.

Recently i had this one other girl. Real beautiful. Kinda jump into the situation. I was over confident and probably freaked her out and she dumped me badly. I was actually falling for her and getting dumped like that after a few dates were bad, i even started drinking because once again, i started questioning my own self. Got over her pretty quickly tho, she was just a crush in the end. And a short while after that, we did our ritualistic hangout with the other girls group. That, made me realize how my "staying friends" decision was one of the worst decisions I've ever made. My little crush only proved me that I wasn't into dating AT ALL. I was into her this whole time. I was back to square one all of a sudden. We were fine, talking, joking and having fun but the old chemistry was nowhere to be found.

I'm like a month away from graduation now. In our graduation party I'll see her one last time and probably never again. I even considered not drinking too much so i can soberly appreciate my last seeing of her. It's been 4 years. I'm convinced, she isn't leaving me ever. She was the one. I know how cliche that sounds but i just know. I can never, ever get over it. Especially knowing i was wrong. I don't want a girlfriend. I want her. And i don't wanna forget. I know it's harming me. I'm drinking at 2 am writing this again. But i just can't forget. She is worth remembering till' the end even if it beats me up.

So sorry for the long ass paragraph but whoever reads this whole thing and says something- even the ones that'll sting- will matter to me. I'm in a really fucked up place and i have no one in this earth knows about how i am recently.
