Question regarding Q's stack damage

Is the total damage dealt the same between...

Q1 > AA > Q2 > AA > Q3 > AA

compared to

Q1 > Q2 > Q3 > AA

?

Asking to kind of get an idea for the champ's trading patterns. Is it better to get 3 stacks on someone before "popping" them all at once, or can you get the same damage dealt by landing and popping one stack at a time???

~48% winrate or less in ADC and Top roles for Emerald+ Solo queue globally. This is hotfix buff territory btw lmao

Riot's balance team back at it again, ladies and gents. Gotta love pro play eh??

Trying to wrap my head around this champion...

Am I just meant to look to roam and skirmish/teamfight

Trying Kat after years of not playing her and holy shit it's so frustrating. I feel like I lose lane to everyone, and can't 1v1 or delete anything until I've at least three items. Is she really just meant to play around teammates 24/7, or am I missing something here...

I miss having a good relationship with this game... I want tips on getting that back.

Just wanted to ask around here: how do you guys do it? How do you cope with trolls, losing streaks, bad performance, bad teammates, etc.?

Like... For the last couple years I've had this terribly unhealthy relationship. I had to quit for over a year at one point, came back recently.

Today I had a 6 game losing streak. I swear I did well in at least 4 of those games. The 5th game I went 20/8/4 top damage mid lane... And we still lost. The enemy team suddenly pulled the match out of their asses.

This kind of shit ruins the game for me. Like I'm sorry, but it's the truth. I feel like I wasted three and a half hours of my life suffering. And this isn't avoidable. Even if Riot's matchmaking was top of the line and the best, the nature of variance will do this kind of stuff. But I CAN'T STAND IT nowadays. Seriously, it ruined the rest of the day for me.

I want to find a way to enjoy this game like I used to. I've been playing for over a decade now. I've got other stuff on my life nowadays, but I don't want to quit cold turkey... There has to be a way.

All serious advice is appreciated, please.

First time watching, loving the series! But I HATE the Phantom Troupe...

Just wanted to vent a little, since I hate each and every single one of them... Like I'm up to episode 57 of the 2011 series, and so far I've seen ZERO redeeming qualities from any of them. They've all acted like disgusting psychos so far.

Do they get ANY real justification for being like that? Like anything valid? Because so far I really just want them to get put down like the rabid dogs they act like.

Title. This lane used to be relatively free for the most part. Now with DFT back? Cancer-tier unplayable.

And I'm not talking about the laning phase. As soon as this asshole gets Liandries or Blackfire Torch, he becomes this unstoppable force that will fuck all your teammates in the ass and take all your towers.

Seriously considering quitting for a patch or two until they figure that shitty rune out. It's insufferable on champs that can abuse it. I think shit like Zed and Naafiri might be keeping him in check winrate wise at the moment. But Akali vs Malz hasn't felt this terrible in forever lmao.

  • Can go Youmuus first more reliably without being cucked by having to lane versus a Tank.
  • No ranged champions pelting you with basic attacks and causing you to lose gold and lane prio.
  • Smite being a low cd SS for Nimbus Cloak is super useful.
  • Fast AF clear speed.
  • Ult resets are excellent for low level jungle skirmishing.
  • You actually get to impact the map from the get go instead of waiting for TP plays once the quest is complete.

I really hope they give him some QoL stuff like a short MS Boost on Q or CD refund on E or something. Either that or nerf ranged top lane Riot...

Title. I don't get why people are doing the same build on him when his AP ratios got turbo buffed.

Q rank progression: .25 sec cd reduction, +25 damage

W rank progression: +55 damage

E rank progression: 3 sec cd reduction, +50 damage

Now with Q having a "decent" 40% AP scaling and Shiv to facilitate waveclear and providing AP AND AD, why not go for something like:

Conqueror/PTA/FS

R > W > E > Q

Shiv > Sheen item > stacked Tear item

Thoughts? Not an Ez main but I like theorycrafting lol

Title. Thoughts? Not a D-man otp myself but I'm a casual enjoyer, and I can't stand the Conqueror Stride into tank build. Been playing Raider's/Souz2z's builds these past couple patches and having a lot of fun (on Emerald elo mind you*).

Just thinking about going back to slow ass boring ass Conqueror is making me dread playing him next patch...
