Jungle/SoloQ - How to handle teams with no frontline

Hello everyone,

I'm a jungle main, currently in G4.

I usually play bruiser jungle that tend to farm and scale (mainly Jax, but Wukong too and stuff like that)

I tried Zyra back in the days, and I loved her gameplay and Brand's one in jungle (you know, spaming emote while DoTs and plants do the work)

The problem is that I find it difficult to fit as Zyra in a team comp. I know in soloQ you can play whatever you want, but I often finished in teams without frontline (that's why I usually pick bruisers, because they are frontline at least) and I struggled agaisnt engage and assassins comps when you lack frontlane/CC. In this domain, Zyra is much more stable than Brand ofc, thanks to her amazing engage reception and CC's. But that's the main reason I dropped her, I felt like I had to tryhard much mroe to win with those picks than the usual no-brainer bruiser

Now, I played her again the other day and I remembered why I loved her, she seems so much more fun to play than bruisers, having to handle space and stuff. And it forces me to play less agressive, which is fine.
So I have some questions to you guys :
- How do you handle team comps with no frontline ?

- How do you handle assassins matchup (midlane or jungle, the ones that start invading you. I usually clear super fast but sometimes it's not enough)

- How do you handle Zyra jungle in flexQ/5-man stacks ? Generally my friends tend to prefer having engage/frontline junglers and they never like when I pick Zyra, should I step back in those cases ?

- Any sstreamer/youtuber recommandations for Zyra ?

Regards,

Any suggestions for Tactical RPG like Final Fantasy Tactics (PC)

Hi,

I loved playing final fantasy tactics advance (and A2 on DS) when I was younger

I really like the tactical rpg genre, and played fire emblem, xcom, disgaea, tactics ogre, triangle tactics, ...

I recently played the final fantasy tactics remaster

But none of those game matched the job system from FFTA (even the ff remaster, I hated the jobs and the progression)

Do you have any game that is close to FFTA ? With jobs/races and abilities to customize everyone ?

Disgaea felt like that, but the last one seems to suck (but you can try to convince me, I loved disgaea 5 but hated disgaea 6)

I don't really care about the setting, I prefer medieval fantasy ones, but I'm open to any other setting. I prefer when story is a bit developped, but even here I loved Disgaea and FFTA2.

I'd prefer a game with some grinding/post-game where I can optimize my guys for some challenges

My first yeoman for my red brigade

I went for an alternate color scheme based on the french white cross because rescuing people is important, but shooting demons at point blank matters too

I'm not sure about the black helmet but I was scared it would bring too much colors

How to improve at blood bowl strategy and positioning

Hello everyone,

I'm Currently a begineer blood bowl player, that always played it casually

Now I want to improve, as I joined a league with veterans players and I'll play orcs (you can see my painted team on my profile !)

I don't hope to win this league but I played some matchs in opens and casual tournaments, and even there I barely win.

I currently train with orcs, and I feel like I only win when there is a tremendious amount of luck by my side, like last time when I dodged into a long pass into a 1dice block blitz into a double GFI

I know the basics : I read 1000 Losses and the art of blocking. I know what is a risky move or not, and that I need to do the free ones before and that I need to play for the center. But beside that, I feel like the practice is different to the theory and it always turn into me defending for 5-6 turns and then the opponent able to dodge out of my screening. Sometimes I'm not even able to win the front fight and last time I needed to dodge into an elf screen to try blockinjg my opponent (this tech failed turn 7)

On the offensive, I know what a cage is, but I feel like I'm easily stalled as opponent corners my sides. I usually touchdown with a pass to my blitzer that runs away with an impressive lucky dodge or because I'm a 11 v 7 thanks to my MB

Do you have any tips for me to improve at placing my guys ? I always feel like I'm outnumbered because my guys are misplaced, but I don't know how I could have placed them better or make space around my cage for example. As orcs are slow, I often feel like those misplacement are my doom. I know Orcs are a good team, so it's not like I'm playing gnomes or the roster that drag me down (except maybe for my skills that are not always optimals)
