Bacca says its bad, stats on lolalytics indicate its trash, no one builds it, but I was interested in finding a build which either spikes harder at 2 items or is better suited vs cho/sion so I went into prac tool to compare the dmg to standard crit build and it was higher at 1 item, higher at 2 items (bastion breaker vs shieldbow). On 4 items the barrels did maybe 10% less dmg, but Q did significantly less and ofc autos deal less although triforce gives attack speed so idk if dps diff is that big. And none of this takes into account the lethality and haste you get from this build which helps in all types of situations. Little known fact is that lethality scales with enemy hp, not armour, and works on turrets too, for example, which is why I initially condidered it for dealing with hp stackers.

All of this is to say, on paper, triforce into lethality doesnt look bad at all, but I want to hear from you guys who have tried it in actual games. Did you experience any mana issues? Do the triforce components feel worse to build? What did you build after triforce? What was your conclusion on the build?

When hitting baron/drake or a super tank who deals no dmg, how do you maximize dps output post lvl 13? Do you Q the barrels? Do you shave them off with autos?

Intuitively it seems, to me, like you would want to put both the Q and sheen proc into the barrel due to their armour pen so I tend to: E, auto the barrel and Q it, passive on baron while waiting for sheen, E, auto barrel, auto barrel, passive on baron, E, auto the barrel and Q it, passive on baron while waiting for sheen, E, auto barrel, auto barrel, passive on baron and just repeat this pattern until Im out of barrels.

But I never see solar do this even when all enemies are dead and there is no reason to save barrels, but he also doesnt stick with any consistent pattern, he kinda just throws in a barrel here and there, Qs the baron and I cant quite make sense of it. I guess its a good opportunity for him to read chat but he doesnt seem like the person to not minmax.

Inspired by a post a few days ago, Im reaching out to all yuumi mains on EUW plat and below. In the sea of leona/naut mains, its hard to find support players who want to play yuumi and Im sure you have had your fair share of draven/cait players who tilt as soon as they see you hover the cat in champ select. So it seems natural to me that we should team up and improve, climb and most importantly have fun playing the champs we like.

Dont hesitate, shoot me a dm here on reddit and lets meet on the rift!

... trash af. Doesnt even have a buff for melees. Cant recommend.

I picked up ksante before d helm nerf and ksante nerf and did very well. The champ was almost 50% wr in emerald which is rare and otp wr was on par with average in toplane, so around 56%. Took a break before the nerfs, was considering picking him up again and now I see his wr is 4% points below the average wr in master+. 53% for otps. Even pros only pick him to counter jayce. Yet I dont see the complaints or rants like on other subs when their champ has such terrible performance. So Im confused. How is ksante doing after the nerfs?

I have been theorizing and want to test out an approach to laning based on the premise that players are not used to or comfortable with being constantly under pressure and thus more likely to play worse and make mistakes. Obv playing super agressively is equally taxing but if you make it your playstyle you would atleast get used to it, in theory.

Witt this in mind, Im looking for a champ suitable for applying as much pressure as possible with minimal downtime. Doesnt have to be a traditional toplaner and Im open to ranged champs. I have been thinking something along the lines of irelia or cass but I want to hear your suggestions!
