Radical posted:on the topic of plat and diamond generally as i get closer to d5 i notice the number of one tricks increases by a considerable amount. generally when i climb is when im only picking one champion and when i start to fall is when im picking a bunch of different champs. the td;lr is just that even if you do well in your lane, if you're not comfortable on the champion its hard to focus on where their jungler is and when you can roam/tp for a play and bail out the other lanes. the amount of games you win starts to go up the more you're able to feed other players an advantage. This generally holds true but gently caress if the other two lanes can't figure out how to maintain stability. I've lost like 10+ games off of doing pretty well or evened out with my botlane until the toplane dies eight thousand loving times and their toplane warpdrives bot along with the jungler and it turns into this brutal 4v2 divefest. It's really assy. Then again I was playing a lot of Jhin and the guy requires a team to at least be stable so he can loving destroy people with high damage autos, but ADCs that can do the work without less of their team, like Ez or Twitch or something seems to work out better. I'm omitting Lucian because I'm banning that rear end in a top hat until they nerf him because I'm tired of the CDR build. Hell I duoed with the almighty Bond, master of being way too aggressive as his support and we scored a double almost immediately, only to have the jungler immediately arrive @ 3 with a teleporting midlane level 4 TF crushing us while our Azir was behind in CS despite the TF roaming bot nonstop. It just seems to be such a challenge for laners to just be stable and not die uncontrollably. If one lane can get slightly ahead and the rest keep even or slightly behind, it's an easy W.

Libertine posted:Melee AD champions SHOULD all be extremely situational and can single-handedly ruin the damage balance of a team composition; however, they are among the most popular of all characters in the game and there are so many people who pick them regardless of their viability in the composition the team drafts. i feel like i haven't been getting free wins from these games nearly as easily this season, a lot of those champs have an easy time snowballing ahead of the damage vs armor curve if your teammate who's laning against them is bad, and the new maw is still problematic. it's only easy if you're late enough in the pick order that you can identify it and pick e.g. rammus or malphite, itemization alone isn't always enough.

Sometimes your top mid and jungle are the top picks and theirs are the bottom picks so you can't just lock in malphite/rammus, and sometimes those melee carry win their lane and no amount of armor will save you, especially if a Yasuo is good and makes use of his ult ignoring 50% armor. On different note, you'll always see people complain "oh my teammate was bad" "that guy can't stop feeding" "your so bad you got 4 man ganked while sitting under your tower" People always blame the teammates, but not once, not ONCE, do they ever say the other player is good or did a good play, it's just always your teammate being bad, never the other guys being good.

Thanks for the answers. I actually didnt realize that the jump is from like top 9% for plat V to top .9% for diamond V. That actually sounds awful so maybe I'll stop when(if) I hit plat and save myself the pain. Then again, I did play MMOs for years and years so I do have a history of doing lovely grinds for little-to-no payoff.

On a totally unrelated note, the phrase "clown fiesta" is significantly worse than clowncar or clownshoes.

Building AS and crit on a poke champ is definitely not something that 'maths' out. Nah, it was Essence Reaver into Last Whisper (basically a modification of the old Genja Archer build). There was an ADC that built it a few times and then I think Essence Reaver was patched and it didn't make sense anymore. Stinger/Brutalizer were just because they were cheap CDR with efficient stats, and you might as well build them into something later. I think when it was played in LCS he ran CDR runes or masteries but that wasn't as common back then. It didn't take the world by storm or anything but it was solid. It seemed like the other ADCs didn't like it though, and it honestly just seemed like there was a meme among the ADCs that if you ran out of mana you just needed to play better (and then every ADC would randomly die because they didn't have mana for Corki w).

You can do a lot of controlling of the map, and it's relaxing with regards to farming, there's a massive toolbox of champs you can play. There's of course the lane-you-wanted-to-gank-dies-before-you-get-second-buff problem that happens, but overall pretty fun. plus it was either be the jungler for our serious 5s team or support

i take back what i said about full tank vlad, it's actually "good" in that you trade Q and R damage for W+E damage and a shitload of survivability (still rushing sunfire is probably very stupid since he doesn't need help at all with waveclear) however i think you really want to have a tanky top or jungle to make it work because you're still chunking yourself for 500 true damage per E? idk new vlad is loving weird and possibly good but landing the super Q on anything but a minion in lane is an exercise in futility. i also kind of feel like they missed the point before where he didn't necessarily "stat check" the enemy laner, who esp if they were smart would just rush a loving specter's cowl anyway; his early game was absolutely pathetic and IF you survived it then you became a lane bully right as laning phase was ending and then you still needed to get another item or two to become a decent lategame threat. mad about vlad e: actually now that champion.gg's caught up it looks like his winrate when rushing rylai's is above 50% again so v v

Vlad and Swain being played and built tanky isn't a problem it's part of their design. They, and to a lesser extent Karthus, want to get in the middle of the enemy team and slowly grind them down with their kit, or at least Vlad used to and now he just does it in bursts instead of constant casts of e and Swain still does with his bird ult. Them being Tanky and being able to build tanky but still win fights is very intentional, especially as Vlad actually gets offensive stats from a defensive stat. Now whether that design is good or not is a separate discussion.

I'm pretty sure Taliyah's win rate would go up like 10% if you could W->E combo instead of E->W combo. Of course, she'd only be at like 45% win rate then, but that's better then what it is now.

I've been top damage every game, usually by 10 or 15k. As everyone's been saying, she is stupid right now. Also, bug report: either you can mastery emote on rank 4 mastery champs sometimes, or the game thinks I'm good enough at Morg to give it to me early.
