How do you guys approach keystones?
I'm learning Azir as a Garen main and I've mostly just been going lethal tempo, absorb life, alacrity, cut down, manaflow, scorch. It works great toplane (where I play) but I see a myriad of different keystones. What general rules of thumb makes you divert from lethal? I feel like precision and sorcery tree is just too good to not have

Lobotomized Masters Garen OTP tries Azir for 50 games. Here's how it went
Hello birblovers!
For the past week or two, I've been trying out Azir on a little experimental ranked climb. I felt that I had learn most of what Garen is capable of and was kind of burnt out and needed a new challenge.
On the climb account I first got placed in bronze, which was.. interesting. I had a hard time piloting the birb and went for every shuffle humanly possible (because why not?). I decided to play Azir top because after looking at some stats he seemed to perform better there and Garen would complement Azir nicely if I take him higher.
Currently I'm Gold 3 with a 60% winrate and the MMR seems to be around plat/emerald. I've been having a lot of fun learning and I think Azir is really powerful if played perfectly, but thats the hard part.
For runes, I've been almost exclusively going lethal tempo, absorb life, alacrity, cut down, manaflow band, scorch. I really like manaflow and absorb life because of the increased sustain and I take tp as well.
As for builds I've been spliting them a bit depending on comp. I havent watched many build guides as I wanna figure it out myself but into squishies i go nashors, sorcs, shadowflame. If they have some beefy guys I prefer nashors, zerkers and then something like rylais, finishing up usually with like zhonyas, morello, raba or whatever.
I'm by no means good at the champ right now but I'm enjoying the learning process and WILL play him more! I'll leave the account below if you wanna laugh at my 0/10 games

Azir Noob Theories
Hello Azir mains!
I'm a Garen OTP that reached masters first time this season and now i want a new challenge. I've been really curious about Azir top and been thinking about a rune setup that sounds kinda interesting, would love to hear your thoughts. This is the setup:
First strike, cash back, biscuit delivery, cosmic insight, presence of mind, alacrity, double adaptive scaling health. Flash TP
The premise is to get as many first strike procs as possible and get your items faster. Tested this out in a game and it looks a bit promising, got 1620 gold in a 32 minute game doing kind of averagey (it was lower elo). I need to test it more but would love to hear your thoughts and tips on learning this cool shuriman guy

A lesson in tilt and selfworth
Hello everyone!
I'm a low-mastah Garen onetrick and today I played and lost two games and they taught me a bit about myself and about tilt.
So I was playing Garen top twice into ranged matchups, a bit annoying. My champ got nerfed, fair but a bit annoying. My team was tilting already in lobby, a bit annoying. My team died a lot, also annoying. I had plenty of things I could turn into excuses and I also made some mistakes myself. I was overall happy about my performance though.
Surprisingly, I didn't make any excuses and I didn't tilt at all today and it felt freeing to have a bad result and not be upset about it.
I think the more you play competitively, the more you have to learn to abstract away the results. It sounds counter-intuitive but you have to mentally let go of what you climbed to. Your current rank or LP isn't really who you are, it's just a datapoint from one point in your climb.
The big lesson for me I think is that you don't have to process criticism in real time in the game. Soloqueue is way too turbulent to digest any meaningful lesson as you're playing. It's like being a chef in the middle of the lunch rush and having someone criticize everything you do. Maybe they're right, but you still have 30 orders to do, theres time for criticism later.
For me I have felt before that I can turn criticism into a reflection on my selfworth. "I made a mistake" can get turned into "you are a mistake". That's not healthy, and I realize that I don't want to make someone else feel that way when I play.
My goal for now will be to try and be the person who others can feel it's okay to make mistakes around. I think it can be a lot of value to both myself and others.
I don't know, these are some thoughts I've been having today, what do you guys think?
