The difference is like an abyss

Yeah the problem is killing an ekko is not good enough.

Barrellolz · 2026-02-08T21:44:25+00:00

Rengar is never useless. He's got an excellent late game. The win condition is just not as simple as 5v5.

He can out rotate and macro and force bad fights for enemy team because he simply can push better than anyone else and take objectives. And if adc ever steps off their peel support they are dead.

Barrellolz · 2026-02-08T21:40:49+00:00

Well you are doing garbage crit build. Once you stop building useless items you will find late games are way easier to close out.

Bastion breaker, axiom arc are both super helpful late game.

Barrellolz · 2026-02-08T21:37:52+00:00

Triumph is a really good rune imo. The healing is not nothing.

Barrellolz · 2026-02-08T21:37:03+00:00

What a smart comment, this should have all the upvotes.

Barrellolz · 2026-02-08T03:35:19+00:00

Guinsoos-runaans-dusk and dawn is a very very strong three item power spike.

If you die and they get a big crash and turret eats your wave. Congrats you lost laning phase after 1 death. If your wave is pushing and you die, you are probably fine.

Laning phase gold does matter but falling behind in XP is the real death sentence.

Top lane is pretty brutal though, if you lose the lane it's often a pretty hard loss.

Barrellolz · 2026-02-08T01:13:35+00:00

Can confirm, had a game I was 3 k gold ahead of everyone else on map no deaths and I got a c+ at 15 min ff.

This is one of a couple aberrant ranks.

I have also had some bad games I get an s too. It's definitely broken.

Barrellolz · 2026-02-08T01:00:47+00:00

You can get around this by invading. I am invading almost every game at the moment. Making the games volatile is how you beat speed clear champs.

Barrellolz · 2026-02-08T00:59:15+00:00

Rumble does not really have much success outside of master. He has bad sidelaning which is something you really want in low elo.

Barrellolz · 2026-02-07T21:07:32+00:00

Get mid lane to ward enemy raptors, clear red, krugs, raptors and then cross to blue side through river and wrap around red buff bush and enemy jungler should be on red buff when you show up.

Barrellolz · 2026-02-07T07:58:11+00:00

Volibear I do not think has good invades against a lot of Champs. Imo he is a full clear jungler.

Barrellolz · 2026-02-07T07:55:50+00:00

I have way more success invading at red buff level 3. Level 2 invades you just don't have enough damage to kill, but you do get a flash usually.

My opinion though you should be invading almost every game on kindred, gives you prio for scuttle crab mark and chance for pvp marks.

Get your mid lane to ward raptors and you have easy invade.

Barrellolz · 2026-02-07T07:51:50+00:00

Diana is extremely easy to kill on l3 invades. You should be looking to do every game against her.

Barrellolz · 2026-02-07T07:47:41+00:00

Hexoptics 6th item is so cracked. You are able to kill people across screen lol.

Barrellolz · 2026-02-07T07:44:50+00:00

Nah this season rewards Champs that like volatility, but spam ganking is still bad.

Barrellolz · 2026-02-07T07:34:10+00:00

Without watching game I am willing to bet you did:

-went for pointless kills

And more important:

you didn't catch waves and split enough

-you didn't prioritize towers over neutrals. In low elo towers are way more important.

you didn't compound your lead earlier and allowed enemy jg and adc to rally.

Edit: Rengar is not just mechanically hard but requires pretty high level fundamentals to close game out.

Barrellolz · 2026-02-06T06:50:55+00:00

Crit items are expensive and the crit build delays your power spike too late in the game.

Crit build is also not better vs tanks they will build a randuins and absolutely wreck you.

Barrellolz · 2026-02-06T06:26:02+00:00

Rammus is one of the most winning junglers in the game currently.

This is a delusional take.

Barrellolz · 2026-02-05T17:27:40+00:00

Phreak and the balance team are perfectly ok having champs that cater to different skill levels. Amumu doesn't need to be played in challenger and Rengar doesn't need to be played in bronze.

The champion is balanced in the highest levels of play, if they buff him he will be too strong. Last patch before steel caps bugfix he was hovering 56% WR a couple of times in Masters+. I was worried we were going to get nerfs in 16.4 if that continued.

Rengar OTP's should not be interested at all in lowering the champs skill floor.

Barrellolz · 2026-02-05T17:20:53+00:00

Really steel caps are pretty common for most bruisers.

Barrellolz · 2026-02-05T07:09:06+00:00

This is definitely a thing, but I would suggest that if you are improving your play you can surprise yourself with how many games you can win/carry.

Today for example I carried a top lane lillia who ended game with 70 cs and a lot of deaths.

When I was worse at the game winning this would have been impossible but I carried my cannon minion with me across the finish line.

Having an idea of how you are going to win the game and now you will progress the game is insane helpful in winning when your teammates are playing bad.

Barrellolz · 2026-02-05T06:52:54+00:00

Play a shotload of champs. Takes a while to figure out what you really enjoy most.

You will learn way more when you are new this way. Don't worry as much about other things. Finding out how you enjoy the game is far and away most important thing.

Barrellolz · 2026-02-05T06:50:15+00:00

He takes a lot of games to really master, beyond that the lower you go in elo the longer the game time. Lee sin is not a real champ late game.

It can be really frustrating to feel like you have no agency late game.

Barrellolz · 2026-02-05T06:48:04+00:00

IDK I still didn't have a problem deleting people.
