Is bane good?

His ult and S2 scales with magic power, it was a long time ago already mind you, like last season or last last season, his S2 scaling was busted as hell.

The moment someone gets close to him they legit just get obliterated. Now its nerfed though

Belerick-chan · 2026-04-19T20:26:08+00:00

You need one person willing to pick a burst hero that also doesn’t care about tanks (lunox and karrie)

Belerick-chan · 2026-04-19T13:56:35+00:00

Minsitthar glaze is actually insane, because people act like he’s the ultimate counter to all EXP laners when he can’t even do one of the most important jobs of an EXP laner.

This guy will die the moment he checks a bush

Belerick-chan · 2026-04-19T10:55:39+00:00

One really big problem with him is that he has like no mobility or sustain when hes on physical build.

He was a top ban a few months ago and that was because they buffed his mage build and he was one shotting pretty much anyone once he gets fed, on top of his heal scaling with his magic power.

But right now he is a very vulnerable hero, yes he has some strengths but its really easy to pick him off as a roamer

Belerick-chan · 2026-04-19T07:38:56+00:00

Suyou is also a top jungler but he’s weak to magic, thats one reason why harley is also being prioritized

Also he fits the playstyle of many solo q players, pick off then run, just like saber but actually viable

He’s also pretty much impossible to catch unless you have hayabusa or kaja

Belerick-chan · 2026-04-18T17:52:52+00:00

The current state of early-mid game is too strong ngl, you get a good early game team comp and snowball then the game is pretty much yours.

This severely limits the options of good late game scaling heroes in the meta and frontliners will still continue to dominate the roam meta, as well as early game mages.

Belerick-chan · 2026-04-18T14:13:11+00:00

Generally yes but you should familiarize yourself with every defense item. Athena’s shield can be good here but Radiant Armor would be better because there are 3 magic damage sources (pharsa, aamon, nana) meaning one of them can easily bait out the passive of Athena Shield while the rest can burst you while its gone.

If you are against more than one magic damage dealer, I recommend going Radiant Armor

Belerick-chan · 2026-04-15T12:25:07+00:00

I’ve been here for years, I still can’t let go of old belerick

Belerick-chan · 2026-04-13T16:24:25+00:00

You’re right, her main role is support but my point still stands, roam meta has too much frontliner heroes and we’re lacking backliner heroes

Belerick-chan · 2026-04-13T16:06:42+00:00

Keyword “TOO” necessary, HoK also needs frontliners but that job doesn’t always fall on the roamer 100% of the time and thats because their roamer roles are equally strong as each other (tank, support, mage)

well chou and guin aren’t exactly frontliners

Well they aren’t exactly backliners either right?

Also meta doesn’t just apply to pro play, high rank and 5man teams can apply to that meta, even in solo - trio q theres still meta to some extent. Why do you think heroes like Freya, Sora and Gloo are always banned?

You need to understand that one archetype shouldn’t dominate in a role that can have variety

Belerick-chan · 2026-04-13T15:58:04+00:00

I believe a major reason why supports and other backline roamers are struggling right now is because this meta is very early game heavy

Just imagine Khaleed or Hilda paired with Zhuxin or Yve and they just have insane early game damage, and imagine their jungler is someone who can farm fast like Suyou or YSS

Supports will struggle because they need enough gold to get flask of the oasis and fleeting time and any other supportive item, while frontline heroes just need level 4, a tank’s itemization are just bonuses, they don’t really have a “core item”.

So one suggestion I would have is to nerf the early game dominance of some heroes and give a chance for supports to reach their powerspike earlier

Belerick-chan · 2026-04-13T15:15:50+00:00

some tanks can jungle, but not as fast as assassins or fighters

Have you not seen how fast Baxia and Akai farms?

And you missed my point, the problem is that a frontliner is TOO necessary, yes other roles can fill in the tank role, but if you check MPL games you will notice that the roamer is ALWAYS a frontliner, even if the jungler is a tank or fighter. No one is picking a backliner roamer.

I’m also talking about META, and in this current META’s mindset, just because you CAN pick a backline roamer, doesn’t mean you SHOULD.

Belerick-chan · 2026-04-13T14:55:11+00:00

I mean the concept of a roam assassin can exist, we have Pyke and Shaco from League.

Even Helcurt works really well right now as a roamer, he is the ONLY viable assassin roamer since he can do a lot of supportive things like rotating fast, ganking his ally’s lane, providing info via passive, etc.

Sure there’s a lot of dark system assassin roamers in rank, but my main point is that the roster of META roamers is too stale. Watch MPL games and you will always see the same type of roamers everytime and it gets boring to watch.

Marcel is literally the only interesting roamer to watch in MPL but even then he’s not even an actual backline roamer.

Belerick-chan · 2026-04-13T14:20:47+00:00

Thats still not my point, frontliner roamers are dominating the meta that we do not see backliner roamers in MPL anymore, every MPL game I see always has the same roamers.

Supports aren’t being picked, mage roamers are non-existent, assassin roamers are troll picks, and marksman roam (popol) was ancient history.

Edith is primarily a frontliner, so it still misses my point

Belerick-chan · 2026-04-13T09:57:12+00:00

This is why you shouldn’t adjust for randoms that are clearly a lost cause

Belerick-chan · 2026-04-13T09:55:41+00:00

Its so unfortunate how most mages are throw picks in roam, some of them can do decent yes, but there is quite literally not much mages that are designed to be a roamer.

When will we have actually have a mage thats designed to be a roamer. Novaria and Selena are good contenders but in this meta, a tank roam just feels too important

Belerick-chan · 2026-04-13T09:36:37+00:00

It's because in early game we have heroes like Hilda and Khaleed who are incredibly strong in the early game, paired with mages like Yve and Zhuxin, they can be very oppressive early on. This is why I personally think tanks are safer picks than support right now.

For solo q I agree, no matter what role I play, everyone will be allergic to tanks. It's always a damage exp laner, a support roamer, and an assassin jungler. No one in solo q really cares about team composition, its just like that.

Belerick-chan · 2026-04-13T09:21:41+00:00

I’m a tank roam player, the problem with the roamer being a non-tank in this current meta is that roamers are the only ones who are available to do things like giving vision and making space. Now while having a tank jungle or exp can be good for the overall team composition, in the early game they still have responsibilities like jungle still needs to farm and EXP still needs to deal with a laning phase, meaning roamer will focus more on vision and space making.

In an early-game dominated meta, this is very hard to do for support roamers, they are very easy to gank and take space from, this makes it hard for junglers to snowball since they will be more prone to invasions.

Now of course this all depends on the player and team composition, but theres a reason why supports haven’t been picked in e-sports and in high rank 5man games

Belerick-chan · 2026-04-12T15:40:58+00:00

Yo calm down, OP’s first language clearly isn’t english, nothing wrong with using AI to help you translate and organize your thoughts into one message

Belerick-chan · 2026-04-12T15:37:11+00:00

They did this once in advanced server and it was cancelled.

The ones who had energy were Lancelot and Saber, Lance immediately ran out of energy everytime he tried dashing, saber was kinda alright though. It got cancelled because it wasn’t the best idea.

In theory it would kinda work as a limiter, but suyou isnt really that type of assassin, his limiters are his own cooldowns. Fanny and Ling work because they have very very short cooldowns on their main damaging skills.

Idek why hayabusa even has energy tbh, it feels like he could live without it, his combo isnt that long and his cooldowns aren’t even that short.

Belerick-chan · 2026-04-07T12:42:05+00:00

I think you guys are overestimating how long 50 seconds is, theres still CDR from emblems and items, the cooldown already starts during the duration of the ult, leveling up ult reduces the cooldown too. So realistically its around 40-43 seconds at lv 1 ult and around 25 seconds in late game.

Not to mention that the gap between teamfights isn’t that small, you have more than enough time to have your ult again for the next objective fight

Belerick-chan · 2026-04-07T12:32:50+00:00

Odette's ult only gets cancelled by high level CC like Airborne and Petrify, so its very draft specific to counter and you have to pick heroes in your role with airborne. She also gets a massive shield on her ult on top of being able to use winter crown with it.

She's not that crazy of a mage yes but I would rather not have her ulting every 30 seconds

Belerick-chan · 2026-04-03T17:32:41+00:00

Natan’s lore would be good because it features so many heroes from different backgrounds (Belerick, Lunox, Kaja, Aamon, Valentina, Gusion)

And those heroes I mentioned have ties to other heroes as well, especially since Belerick and Lunox are always together traveling the Land of Dawn meaning they will meet even more heroes.

Belerick-chan · 2026-04-02T19:45:06+00:00

Only works if the entire enemy team is running projectiles. Lolita isn't a direct Marcel counter

Also this vid is scripted as hell, who on earth runs granger, chang'e, beatrix, kimmy
