All HP items are bad on Rhaast

I always find far more success with lethality rhaast than bruiser Rhaast. I have absolutely no clue why people still build HP on him though. Black Cleaver takes too long to stack and deals less dmg compared to Serylda. Shojin is the only other "good" HP item you can build but pales in comparison to alternatives with no hp. There's not a single HP item that is best in slot on the champion. Stop building HP items on him and you will find yourselves winning more games than usual. It will take some time to get used to the lethality red kayn playstyle but I promise you that it's worth it once you get the hang of it. It also allows you to 1 v 1 champions like yone which otherwise you'd never beat in a 1 v 1.

The veasher has a good Rhaast page. I sometimes go his build but I mostly go lethality. I believe Bastion Breaker is also an incredibly broken item on Rhaast. Axiom Arc is an Item that I do not recommend though. I'd suggest getting endless hunger in place of axiom arc 100% of the time. DD and Endless Hunger are the only good bruiser items and neither of them gives you HP. A good build would consist of full lethality with DD and Endless Hunger. You always wanna go either tabis or omnivamp boots. Never mercs and ionian boots !!!

I can't think of a single HP item besides Shojin that is actually good on Rhaast. I hope all of you start running a no HP Rhaast setup in your games so that Rhaast's WR can increase and make the balance team wonder what's happening (again). They will likely give his Q hp scalings too so that we can actually build items like sundered sky and steraks without giga trolling our games. For now all HP items are basically just bad on Rhaast and will not change in a long time!

This champion's identity is just doomed !!!

The champ needs a midscope asap. She is listed as a duelist when you hover her in champ select = she's bad at it. Riot says she is meant to be a 1 v 9 champion late game.. guess what. She is far from that. Her kit screams "I kill tanks" with her hybrid and true dmg yet she struggles against tanks unlike most other toplaners like ambessa yone fiora darius gwen etc.. Yone and Ambessa are just as good at killing squishy champions as Camille if not better. The champ has a lockdown on R which is the only reason why she is relevant in top and especially support. Being able to ult someone and basically guarantee your team the kill is a massive win rate spike for her. Since the removal of DS and the wall changes she's been feeling awful to play. Been playing mostly other champs but I still get back to Camille from time to time for the good old times. I really love the champion but her champion identity has been screwed over by the balance team over the years and specifically ever since the durability patch.. that's when the champ started going downhill.. If anyone from Riot is reading this I hope you guys realize no one is happy with the state of the champion. Extremely boring and unfun compared to before and somehow the champ still feels fun to me (used to be tens of times more fun to play though!). I really miss the old Camille...

To all the Zaahen mains

I know Zaahen isn’t exactly a popular pick right now, and honestly, it’s easy to see why. He feels objectively worse than Darius in almost every single category. It feels like Riot tried to make "Darius 2.0" but stripped away everything that actually makes a juggernaut viable.

My biggest gripes:

  1. The Passive: Why does he just get bonus AD instead of something unique like Omnivamp? It feels redundant and lazy compared to other modern kits.
  2. Build Path: Zaahen can’t build tanky like Darius without completely gutting his damage. Darius gets to be a frontline menace while still executing people; Zaahen just feels squishy and fragile by comparison. Darius can just build full tank and still have amazing damage.. why can't Zaheen do the same without compromising his damage..?
  3. The Armor Pen: Darius gets a massive 40% armor pen for free on top of a true damage ultimate. Why does Zaahen only get 30%? If anything, he needs that extra 10% just to stay relevant in the current meta.

Darius dominates the early game and still manages to outscale Zaahen in a pure 1v1 because of his superior defenses and armour pen. You can blind pick Darius and win most lanes, but Zaahen feels like a massive liability if the matchup isn't perfect. You really ca't blindpick this champion.

So what do you guys think..? Is there actually any niche Zaahen fills that I'm missing? Do you think he deserves some adjustments/mini rework like Briar and Ksante in the past?

Ambessa needs as much armour pen as Darius.

Building armor pen items on Ambessa feels surprisingly underwhelming right now. I don't understand why she isn't allowed to have 40% passive armor penetration like Darius.

Let's compare the two:

  1. No True Damage: Unlike Darius, Ambessa doesn't have a massive true damage execute on her R to bypass resistances.
  2. Early Game Weakness: Her early game is significantly weaker than Darius’s, yet she doesn't seem to scale into a better tank-shredder to compensate.
  3. Win Rate: Her current WR is already on the lower side, suggesting she needs a bit of help in the current meta.

I think bumping her armor pen from 30% to 40% would make her a much more enticing pick into tank-heavy compositions. It feels like Fiora, Gwen, and Vayne are the only "real" responses to tanks, while champions like Ambessa and Camille who are supposed to specialize in taking down tanks struggle way more than they should.

If she’s meant to be a specialized fighter, she needs the tools to actually threaten tanks once they start stacking armor. What do you guys think? If armour pen is not the way then they could also buff her life steal scaling on ult...
