Space Illaoi would have been way better than Void Illaoi, as a launch skin.

Adventurer is too good not to vote for though. Honestly I don't know why they don't make all of these, though it might be to gauge interest.

Bad news: I had a huge losing streak and got demoted from silver to bronze.

Good news: I immediately started dunking on people in bronze.

I'm too good for bronze but suck too much for silver.

it sounds to me like dunking on people in bronze is more fun than having a massive losing streak in silver so imo its a good thing

at low elo sona wrecks if you're smart about the autoattack reset she gets from every third power chord stack. if youre plat or higher it gets risky since her attack range is kinda low though

I honestly just don't think people respect the kill potential. They barely even use summoners because they don't expect to die. It has been incredibly successful.

There's a surprisingly large number of people in bot who flat out don't count minions for the level 2 spike and get creamed as a consequence. Running kill lanes works consistently well up until about high Plat/low Diamond, where you encounter more and more opponents who understand laning fundamentals (unless they're autofilled).

In Silver people don't go "oh gently caress I'm level one to their two" and you can just kill them.

In Gold, people do this, but they don't prepare in advance for it. So as Leona in this example, you can still all-in at the level 2 spike, but you have to do it right as the last melee in the second wave dies.

Plat is where it gets interesting

Mundo is listed as 2nd to WORST tier on lolalytics, but I think that is very wrong. Just started playing him again after a long hiatus and his pressure game is still incredibly strong.



Titanic Hydra is really good right now and it's great on mundo for obvious reasons. You can't lose lane no matter what because you can get 90% of every cs from long range with your cleavers, and you are practically undivable past level 6. Even if you feed several kills in lane you just keep soaking up CS like a thirsty sponge and refuse to leave lane. I've won several games now just by getting 2 items and going mid and just standing outside of their tower, forcing their team to challenge me while the rest of my team cleans up side-lanes or gets dragons/rift herald.

TP/Ghost so you can always be where you need to be and escape any chases. Spirit Visage, Deadmans, and Titanic Hydra is core build. The damage you do is also really dumb. Here's my damage in a game where I didn't even team fight until the last 10 minutes of the game:

It's a good thing then that even when a team consists of multiples of Vlad/Mundo/Soraka/Lifesteal items, there is still only a 10% chance the ADC will build a 800g hard counter executioners in the first 30 minutes.

Every game I've played has had at least 1 executioners and bramble vest. I still out pressured and out damaged almost all of them.
