I've only been playing for a couple months, but Renata is one of the most interesting kits I've seen so far. I really want to get better with her, but I'm not sure what I should be focusing on in ARAM. I know the W and R are the biggest pieces, but my instinct with that E that hits multiple people is that I should be using it as a delivery system for all those on-shield buffs. So like Ardent Censer, Staff of Flowing Water, and augments like WeeWoo and Spirit Bomb. I'm prioritizing haste augs like Infinite Recursion of course, but after that I'm prioritizing stuff that uses the E to deliver other things to my teammates. Is that the right move? People keep telling me the E is useless and I should be building around W and utility items instead.

(Also, secondary question: does the burn from Malignance actually work with Renata? I was building it for a while but I can't tell if it's doing anything. Is there another ult haste item that works better?)

I don't want the swipe thing. I don't want an on-screen button. I want a physical button that has nothing to do with the screen. I am willing to permanently plug a big rectangle into my device to do this. I have an adaptor for the headphone jack, but is there anything for the button? And is there a way to get rid of the swipe-to-exit functionality entirely (in case I accidentally swipe up in the wrong place while scrolling/gaming and just close what I'm doing)? My old iPad is getting to the point where it can't run some apps anymore, so I am finally being forced to "upgrade"

Tower targeting is definitely different. W seems to stay locked on even when minions walk up. I feel like the timing on the W shots is different too, but I'm not sure how to test it. Does anyone know if the 3 shot W toggle trick works the same, or if it needs modifying? And are there other changes I should know about?

Is there a sub like amioverreacting but the opposite?

All the build guides say to build a mix of tank items and things that boost the effect of your Q, but then the gameplay mostly consists of shielding your teammates and poking with E? Why wouldn't you build items that give effects on shielding, like Whispering Circlet, Dream Maker, Staff of Flowing Water, Dawncore, and Ardent Censer?

I had already had a few key details spoiled for me by the time I played the game, so I went in knowing Jimmy wasn't exactly a grand savior. I'm curious what exact moment most people start to see that something is off. There are definitely points earlier on that I can see some people maybe not catching if they don't know to look for something off, so what was the tipping point for you?

I sometimes hear about zoos doing enrichment activities with carnivores that mimic hunting behavior. They do things like drag a toy or chunk of meat around to chase, or put meat in something else like a pumpkin that needs to be torn open. What do they do for animals with no hunting instinct?

Apparently asking what something on a nutrition label does nutritionally is "not allowed" in the nutrition sub. Where else can I ask what something on a nutrition label does in the body?

Not sure if that's the right flair, sorry. I played Pokemon Unite for a few years, and I mained swords dance/bullet punch Scizor. Are there any champs similar to that? High mobility, lots of jumps and dashes, based around rapid quickfire lifesteal (is that what omnivamp is?). Can apply temporary attack buffs to yourself. Mostly a melee attacker with a little bit of range. Extremely vulnerable if stunned or if you miss hits, but can potentially still recover if you get out quick enough. Early jungler that turns into a formidable attacker. Does that sound like anyone?

What I've tried so far:
- Urgot kinda hits the "sort of close-quarters, sort of not" vibe, as well as having the rapid-fire W, but I miss the mobility and lifesteal.
- Vladimir kinda has the lifesteal, but that's about it.
- Kha'Zix has a lot of good qualities on paper, but they don't come together right for me. I'd rather have faster, weaker attacks than slower, stronger attacks. And I'd rather have the heal come from melee rather than being in the right spot when landing a skillshot. And the mechanic of only really being max effectiveness against someone that's alone (and even the minions ruin this!) is kind of frustrating.

It is definitely possible that I'm just being too picky, please tell me if so. But if there is a champ that fits closer, I'd love to see them!

The W is essentially just a basic attack but faster at the cost of move speed, right? Is damage calculated as ability damage?
