It's not that exciting, and it doesn't feel as good, but just craft your mana base. You're going to get gapped by everyone else with fast mana, unless you're playing [[Blood Moon]] I guess.

Title. Looking for general tips, builds, and tips implementing him in the bot lane. Played him a couple times, so I vaguely understand the gameplay loop.

I'm a Vayne main. Peak Diamond (back when it was the top 1%), but in recent years was Emerald. Haven't played ranked much in the last two years, since I like playing Vayne, who auto loses to mages, and I haven't had a consistent duo.

​

Would love to grind ranked with you. Either a support that I can synergize with or a jungler that can win a game when bot wins (I rarely, rarely ever lose lane).

​

P.S. I'm only playing APCs while they can be abused, mostly Hwei.

Morning!

Quick post before I go into work. 2025 SilveradoEV RST Max. Tried attaching an image but cannot here. It was showing my 4hr drive of 261.2 miles, with a kwh/mi of 2.0.

​

Estimated range from dash at start: 475mi

​

Estimated range from dash at end: 216mi

​

Range used: 259mi

​

Miles driven: 261.2

​

Actually gained 2.2miles through efficiency.

​

Percent change: 100% -> 43%, 57% used.

​

Battery kwh total: 205kwh, 116.85kwh used (57% of 205kwh)

​

76mph for approximately 75% of the drive, and 50mph for 25% remaining.

​

Cost: Home charger, 12.85

​

I do this drive twice a week, every week. I get to charge for free at my destination (work) and have a home charger on the other side. Without work, my total cost would be 12.85 times twice a week, 4 weeks). With work, it costs me $51.40 to drive 2089.6 miles a month. Ignoring weekly commuting, which is negligible on this scale, and again, is free for me.

​

To do this in an equivalent Silverado 1500, average 20.5 mpg, requiring 101.93 gallons of gas, median gas price of $3.81/gallon, would cost $388.35/month!

​

You're looking at a yearly savings, in this situation, of $3426.60 ($4660.20 minus $1233.60). Imagine how fast your ROI is at this savings.

​

TL;DR If you're on the fence, let the math persuade you. EV is the way to go if you have a home charger, which can be as low as $750+install fee, which you would have a ROI in 1.9 months from savings.

Morning!

Can't post images, so imagine a screenshot of my trip information from today that says: Miles Driven: 261.2mi, kwh/mi: 2.0, time: 3:59.

I'm doing what I'm supposed to. I get giga fed in lane pretty much every game. I'm ahead in CS, ahead in gold, and getting first turret. I'm rotating to mid, I'm applying pressure, but it just does not matter if my top and mid can't match the enemy top laner who just split pushes.

There has to be something I can do. I can't match them, because I kill them and lose objectives or I die to them on sight. I can't apply pressure harder than they can negate when they group 3-4 mid against me. I've tried marksmen, I've tried APCs.

I'd share the most relevant games, but it was constructed play that isn't recorded by op gg.
