Diana's similar, she mostly wants to melee scrap but has trouble picking fights until 6 when her kill pressure suddenly goes from 0 to 100. She has only one ranged ability before then but thankfully it's a really good one with a massive combined AoE between the crescent and endpoint.

kingcobweb posted:Yeah, people talk about "oh that dude one-shotted me" but I think the term is thrown around really loosely. A fed AP cho can legit deal more than half your max HP as true damage. I think what makes him survive with his ancient kit is definitely the silence, it's very hard to dodge, has a very respectable duration, and not only disrupts burst combos but prevents anyone from dashing or blinking away from his flash ult finisher.

flash is a positioning training wheel everyone assumes they'll have access to and cho can just scream it down the toilet for up to 2.5 seconds if he's in range for the nanosecond he presses the button cho owns

Killed By Death posted:I can understand, in the early draft phase, making a team that might build 2 Zz'rots, but the moment you see Nasus that goes out the window. Did they just not know you could stack from them, or something? It seems like such an obvious problem. Sometimes when you know you can peel out Nasus in teamfights and when you rotate to stop his split, it doesn't matter if he has like a thousand stacks because he can't reach the people he wants to club for long enough to get two Qs out. So in that case, the pressure would be more valuable than ceding free stacks if you use the zzrot to accomplish objectives elsewhere. This doesn't seem like it would've been the case in that game, though

lucifirius posted:I started playing Singed (in normals) and it's pretty fun even if I do lose. Splitpush all game and force them to come deal with you while your team hopefully makes picks and grabs objectives. Hard CC is a bitch though while slows are annoying yet are shaken off. mana items on singed are a trap. corrupting potion and/or one dring will provide all you need and you want the rylais asap so you're significantly safer proxying and have teamfight presence.

roa isn't a bad item in a vacuum but you can't wait for its power spike before you start pressuring anymore. with rylais or zzrot first you can accomplish a lot more and don't have to sit on advantages or disadvantages to Do Singed Things.

lucifirius posted:So Roa into Rylais or the other way around? try out a rylais + zztop core. if you really feel like your tank keeps running empty remember that you rarely need to keep Q running, small puffs will often do. this is what i've learned from asking singed mains: start dark seal+refillable, get corrupting pot first back, then rush either rylais or zzrot depending on whether you're in one of the hardmode matchups (i.e. for gnar, olaf, graves, etc. you want to rush zzrot), getting boots when you feel they'll come in handy.

To prevent them from crashing waves into your tower you can either match their sunfire, buy a ZZrot, or buy a tiamat. All of those items are OK on Trundle, but personally I'd get a tiamat and sit on it as it lets you counter the strategy with the least gold investment. Keep in mind that on Trundle trades that initially look like you lost tend to swing around to a significant advantage as long as you disengage in time, because of Trundle's passive.

Mr. Humalong posted:I'd like to have a second champion to play when Volibear gets picked/banned but nothing I've tried has really seemed to click with me. I only play jungle and top and I prefer to play champs that are relatively to really tanky. Udyr feels like a strong choice, but he gets banned in about 85-90% of Bronze/Silver games. Same with Jax and Mundo. Anyone willing to toss out some ideas? Here's my op.gg if you want to look at all the champions I've tried and failed to play. if you like fast runman bulky champions singed is really fun and has access to strategies nobody else in the entire game can pull off as well as him. he has a very low skill floor but his knowledge floor on the other hand is pretty high, you will need quite a few games before what he can and can't do really clicks.

lucifirius posted:Since when did Vel'koz have the highest winrate for mid? 53.54%, then Pantheon. He's relatively unpopular but is deadly in skilled hands. He's contradictory in that he's unsafe and vulnerable but has a combo that decimates engagements if they're too predictable. In lane, he overpowers most other mages regardless of their ranges and only really has particular trouble with the more unpredictable assassins like Zed and Ekko.

i really like tlords on heimer, as long as you land just a few missiles it's easy, cheap harass with more immediate punch than grasp. It just seems more useful for shoving people off and getting a temporarily empty lane you can hard push

it's the same idea as Zac, you get a single early damage powerspike item so it's easier to close ganks, then get tanky

they're not bad or anything, it's just often hard to justify building dagger into the boots instead of a zeal or recurve bow. they don't really offer anything besides that attack speed where most boots have passives that give them utility justifications.

Libertine posted:That build was never good and I think Diamondprox was the only one to ever attempt it in a pro game and he got brutally stuffed doing it. The jungle items are so insanely efficient it's really dumb to deviate from completing them first. the only champ i ever skip jungle item on is shaco because the tiamat is too important for both clears and ganks. even then that's just in regards to order and i end up picking up the warrior's soon after.

yorick in the jungle is almost entirely for the utility of giving a hard carry an extra time-constrained GA and/or duplicating their autos. you're basically a fraction of a jungler but one that can add that fraction on top of a teammate sometimes. it's useful on paper but in practice you're better off having a champion with actual presence that can gank for that hard carry and benefit from getting big with them instead of being a black hole that sucks in advantages and converts them to air.
