ss nerfs in next patch
irelia buff and nasus vayne nerfs stick out but the ss nerf especially
nasus
what in gods green earth did they do to nasus this patch, it was usually a free lane for me but i deadass just played him 4 straight games and he actually stomped my entire lobby all 4 times. i know he got some sort of indirect buffs but dear god i haven’t actively noticed a change this hard in a champ in awhile
first item question
what are the main laning champs that you always buy something specific for instead of your usual (like serpents against riven and embessa etc) i’m asking cause i only just realized after being mastery 80 on aatrox that i should build serpents against mord. i’m just trying to make the laning phase easier so if you guys have any underrated items against specific champs that would help, please let me know
item path
so i was watching naayil and he said that he needs to get mortal before its too late and it finally dawned on me (might be a low elo thing lol) that i never build mortal or maw etc early and i now realise thats a problem. i’ve always thought “ill build this and this and then mortal” or something but i now wonder, when do you guys build it? i guess i always find myself building it 4th or 5th and maybe its a good 3rd? but then at the same time its weird not building deaths dance early so im curious when you guys like to build the mortals and maws and stuff
tryndamere
i know this is a low elo comment, but i have played against tryndamere over 50 times and i actually genuinely have a 0% win rate no matter who i play. i’ve never in my gaming history struggled with one single champ as much as him. his hob autos do so much fucking damage that i get one tapped, if i attempt to even play the game and farm or do any damage to him, he just dashes into me and there’s 90% of my health gone. and then i’ll just chill under tower and he just casually walks into it with his 20 second cd ult and i cant do anything. does anyone have any tips
new panth with questions
so i’m an aatrox otp (ironic) and i started playing pantheon top and he’s been insane for me but i have 3 questions if you guys don’t mind
on opgg i see black cleaver first and eclipse first, is there one that most of you guys choose or is it really 50/50 like it says?
who are his counters? i haven’t played against the full melee demons like sett or darius so idk how that’ll go but i just got genuinely smoked by a mord, idk if i just suck lol or if he’s hard but im wondering who his “oh shit” counters are
i see some people go full lethality, is it actually viable? or should i stay away while im still in the learning phase
thank you guys for reading!
off champs who worked you
as the title says, who’s a champ that you played against in the top lane (champs who are never top) and just absolutely smoked you. i made this post in inspiration after getting worked by a lulu. i went like 0-2 in lane and i couldn’t do a thing but she ended the game 15-1 i couldn’t fathom how hard she worked me (it was a smurf who was probably triple my rank). i’ve also gotten smoked by a few karmas and i couldn’t believe her damage when she isn’t building support
darius
i cannot figure out how to play again him. i main aatrox so its a bit easier (i still struggle) because i can space and poke with q’s but when im playing literally any other melee champ who doesnt have aatrox level poke, i cant poke because he just pulls me in and im dead no matter what. so most of the time i try to farm but they just stand in front of the wave and i cant play the game. what are your guys tips for playing into him?
counters
hi, i’ve been full one tricking aatrox for years and i wanted to start playing some sett. i’ve played quite a few games with him but never deep dived and ACTUALLY tried to learn anything deep. so i was wondering who his counters are, the “oh shit” counters where you would rather die than play the matchup lol. thanks!
aatrox complaints
i’m around mastery 70 so i’ve been playing him for a decent while and yes he does have his negatives but am i the only one who doesn’t understand why people seem to think aatrox is just god fucking awful. like yea i have my games where im terrible and games where im hard countered, and i also have my games where i go insane and im unkillable and carry. i understand a lot more people in here are higher rank than me and that matters a lot but ive just never been able to see these complaints people have acting like this champ is just completely unplayable and they lose every game. is it just me? or is he really that bad and maybe im just having a different experience
best aatrox?
i always hear people talk about how naayil is like the only aatrox player who’s consistently challenger but i just discovered xiao chao meng and this dudes aatrox is insane but ive never once heard of him. i know he plays on the chinese super server (idk what the super part means) and idk if its because he’s chinese and chinese media is usually in their own world but ive never seen people talk about this guy but god he’s good
omnivamp boots
are they actually good? i’ve just been in the mood recently where i kinda just wanna have fun and try new things and the boots seem good but they also seem like a “they’re good but there’s no reason to not just get the normal boots” have you guys found noticeable success in these boots or is there not a good reason to get them
who counters her
so i just started playing ambessa (like mastery 5). i one trick aatrox so ofc i know everything about all of my potential matchups, but since im new on ambessa, i was wondering who THOSE champs are where i need to play completely differently and be careful or im cooked, thanks
shyvana
so i just recently started playing jungle. i one trick aatrox top and also some ambessa so i play them in the jungle and im wondering if shyvana is a good pick up. ive been facing them a lot now that i play jungle and everytime i fight her, that mf literally does not take damage its made me so confused. i know nothing about her actual kit (besides the abilities i see her use in game ofc) but she lowkey has been stomping me, is she good rn and a good pick up?
who’s that one champ that cooks you
as the title says, im curious who that one champ is that if they’re good at the game, you’re getting destroyed. and im not just talking counters because i would just say irelia, but everyone has that one champ. mine is probably darius, a good darius genuinely has his way with me. i also had my worst game in league history against the best tryndamere i’ve ever seen
new to mid and have questions
as the title says, i’m new to mid lane. i’m a top main who only plays bruisers so ive been struggling playing range and kiting. ive been trying to learn twisted fate but my main problem is that im really struggling with locke one tapping me every single game, same with katarina as well and i also couldn’t do a single thing against yasuo. how do you guys deal with just everything one tapping you as a squishy mage. i’m so used to top (i main aatrox and kinda heal a lot lol) that it’s been a struggle to learn the lane. twisted fate has been so fun and i really wanna learn him but i’m just getting stomped so hard, thanks!
common ranged top
do you guys actually get annoyed with the usual ranged top like kayle teemo gnar etc? because i kinda just realized that when im playing them, i dont even really process that they’re ranged because they’re just always played top. because i wanted to play gnar but i was like ew i dont wanna play ranged top and thats when i realized that i never actually really think of them as “ranged” top and only see them as normal top champs
ldr?
i’ve seen some people build ldr and do you guys think it works? cause sometimes when i look at it im like damn this could totally work but i’m not sure. i’m trying to get better with itemization for specific team comps, like know how underrated serpents fang is but i just never build it and i feel like i always should
malphite
as a newer player, i know it’s probably a skill issue but how in the actual fuck am i supposed to kill malphite. i lane against him rarely but everytime i do, he just spams rock over and over and over and over again. it takes 90% of my health before he ever runs out of mana and i cant seem to ever just full on fight him because he just spams every ability and my health also gets nuked
