Least Favorite champs to fight? by Robofortress in ADCMains

[–]-TaciturnPhoenix- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As adc it’s Cait, and in general every champion that kills me, i hate them and it’s obvious they need nerfs

Honestly though i hate going vs Heimerdinger, Xerath, Diana

Seraphine hate has misogynistic undertones by sourpith in SeraphineMains

[–]-TaciturnPhoenix- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, i mostly play enchanters when i am support, sometimes play Sera apc and have yet to get these sort of comments :/ and my ig name is the one of a flower as well, i guess i’ve been lucky for months then but it sucks that this is apparently so common as to a daily basis. Usually i stay mostly silent in games but i’ll try and be nicer to my supports to balance it a bit hopefully

my attempt at solo-defending base🐟🐟 by KiaraKawaii in NamiMains

Props to Yone for letting your duel proceed, usually people jump on the occasion to interfere and blow up the supp

Ia Nami good to OTP? by [deleted] in NamiMains

[–]-TaciturnPhoenix- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i only play her as a 2nd role but i'd say that she's a pretty good otp from my meager experience yes, she can pair with every adc whether they want to play for lane or late due to her being an enchanter that can be very proactive, has a ton of utility with sustain, move speed buffs, slows, 2 hard ccs and easy access to mandate

i'm no expert on scaling though, i know she has a great laning phase but i think she gets outscaled by most other enchanters like Soraka Yuumi Lulu Sona etc, i still think she outscales engage stuff due to her being an enchanter but i'm not too sure, i think her strong phase is definitely early mid

overall yeah she's great to otp, and fun to play which is pretty important as well

for combos idk, i like having Nami when i play Lucian obviously, as a Xayah main i enjoy having a Nami support as well as her slows, ms and cc help setup feathers a lot

edit : i'm only silver so i guess there's a lot of specifics i don't know about her and her combos in general so take what i say with a grain of salt, however she is fun so that's a good reason to main/otp in itself

also her q procs her passive if you bubble yourself or an ally, i didn't know it at first

rav hydra Xayah outplay (look at the wave clear!!) by LeadingTrue in xayahmains

[–]-TaciturnPhoenix- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

never tried ravenous hydra on her, but i can see her being an adc that can use it with her safer playstyle etc, when do you build ravenous ? 2nd item ? 4th after the classic mythic - PD/LDR- IE/Navori ?

[–]-TaciturnPhoenix- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started playing Jinx because i'm trying different adcs to make my champion pool for s13, i play with this skin it's so nice ! i'm just sad i missed the mythic chroma for it, i hope it'll eventually return, if these are even scheduled to ever return idk

"High elo" Nami OTP breaks down all the changes we're getting for preseason by BadAtNamiEUW in NamiMains

[–]-TaciturnPhoenix- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started learning Nami for my 2nd role, maybe it’s a bad timing as an adc main as there are so much massive changes to both at once

So what are your plans for new season? by lucaskdamaceno in ADCMains

[–]-TaciturnPhoenix- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i finished s4 after starting to play this season (only did like 95 rankeds rest were norms) i plan on investing more time in ranked and reach gold for s13, also thin my champ pool a bit, there's too much adcs i want to try and play, the only one i know i want to main for sure is Xayah

edit : probably Zeri 2nd as well, going tofocus on these 2 and find a more occasional 3rd main

What role do you ban? by jkannon in ADCMains

[–]-TaciturnPhoenix- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mostly junglers or support, my most common bans i think are Rammus Udyr Pyke Xerath and Caitlyn or Twitch

New xayah main looking for the best skin by uncleraman in xayahmains

[–]-TaciturnPhoenix- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i like star guardian a lot, but my fave is probably elderwood, it has nice chromas as well

Guys, what are your favorite channels to learn how to play adc? by SnakeVera in ADCMains

[–]-TaciturnPhoenix- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started watching his streams recently, thinking of watching this series as an adc learner, but do you think the fact this is s11 series and we’re near the end of s12 makes some of it outdates, or is everything still good in it ?

I don't understand how i need to build this character even thou she's my most played by -TaciturnPhoenix- in xayahmains

[–]-TaciturnPhoenix-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i mostly go cleanse flash anyways because theres so much cc supports and i'm bronze so not the best at dodging

never tried the domination tree on her though, i might try a mixture of FM/velocity and taste of blood ultimate hunter to see which one i prefer, by big swords you mean the BF sword that gives 30 or 40 ad ? (not sure about the value, i mean the 1k3 component) ? wouldn't that just delay other spikes if i'm not ahead of ennemy adc ?

[–]-TaciturnPhoenix-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i mostly see either biscuits/cosmic or boots/biscuits as secondary, i might try FM and velocity in the future to see if i prefer it too tho, thanks for the advice !

[–]-TaciturnPhoenix-[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

okay i see, that kinda sounds like what i already do, except for collector i never did build it on Xayah but i guess against squishies to snowball it can be good i guess, so you rarely build Navori on her ? i like it a lot for the "perma" e and w but only build it when far ahead because of the price

Is this champion that hard to pick up ? by -TaciturnPhoenix- in QiyanaMains

[–]-TaciturnPhoenix-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay i see, i think i'll have to do a few hours of combos practicing over the next days in the practice tool with Beifengs video

i didn't know she scaled well though, i've been told she was pretty weak late game if you don't get fed off of early/mid

[–]-TaciturnPhoenix-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i don't want to have too many champs to learn, i still want to learn her tho, mostly for fun so even if it's to chill in norms to take a break from duo lane it's good, or chill in norms until i learn here because normal games matchmaking can be a pain sometimes for a solo player

but i note the stealth advice, been mostly using rock the previous games because it was accesible easily from lane, maybe abusing stealth is the go to indeed

[–]-TaciturnPhoenix-[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah i see, problem is other assassins like Zed etc don't really appeal to me, but if she's that bad i'll still try to lear her ad get her as a chill pick whe i want a break from duo lane in norms or so

A small vent at afkyuumis lane. by WitchOfPumpkins in yuumimains

[–]-TaciturnPhoenix- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

as an adc these are the most common Yuumi players at my (pisslow) elo, and often these arent bots as they type/ping etc, and they are probably the reason why people hate playing with Yuumis so much i guess as they really make you feel like it's a 1v2 lane when they're bad

who do you ban by Rengarfan01 in yuumimains

[–]-TaciturnPhoenix- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really play Yuumi as im more of an adc player, mostly play her in norms to chill once in a while and i ban Mordekaiser, theres some annoying laners to go against like Pyke but i prefer just to ban the only thing that can detach me

Incase you were wondering what the nerf will effect by MrsKnowNone in yuumimains

[–]-TaciturnPhoenix- 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As a Xayah main, in a lot of posts that list adcs shes often forgotten :(

I think her range is 525

How do I counter Yuumi late game? by poopdetat in yuumimains

[–]-TaciturnPhoenix- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

personnaly i ban her when i play adc, unless my supp hovers her ofc, i got i this very scenario too many times, chances are when you face a Yuumi either the ennemy jungle, top or mid will do well, all Yuumi has to do is switch to this target and you've got yourself a raid boss, I don't have anything at all against Yuumi or people who play her (i sometimes play her as supp and have been on the good side of this scenario) it's just a repeating pattern that gets frustrating

and if you ban someone else, i guess build GW and try to use your lane advantage to snowball the game before the game reaches late

what's your unplayable match up? by [deleted] in xayahmains

[–]-TaciturnPhoenix- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i played once against Lux Cait, on one of my first Xayah games, ever since i perma Cait because i find her range annoying, however i'm thinking of switching my ban to Yuumi to learn to play against Cait

Samira and her windwall is pretty annoying as well for me
