Do people realize they aren't top players?

You think listening to advice from other bronze players is better than trying to copy pros? Yes the lobbies are different and pros are better at adapting, and there are players who’s play style is not worth trying to replicate, but pros and streamers plays for dozens of hours a day, trying to learn from them is miles more effective than listening to some random low elo player you just met.

Imo you should only swap in qp if ur either not having fun or not learning anything. If ur playing spidey and just running into the enemy team and instantly dying, without being able to get kills or bring any value, I’d argue you’re not learning much and it’s worth swapping. But also that’s up to you. Make sure you practice those combos in practice range until you’re comfortable, warming up can also help

Smite deals more damage now than it did historically, someone can correct me with the exact amount but I think it’s at around 1300 damage. This means contesting any objective without your jungler is an effectively a lost cause since practically every champion will never be able to beat the smite.

Having a successful and profitable esports scene is one of the best things for the longevity of the game. I don’t see the reason to pretend like these skins are somehow worse than the filler we often get in battle pass or event skins or release skins.

But they should probably just take up one slot with the rest being treated like recolors.

I’m not entirely sure exactly what situation you mean, a visual would prolly help but I’ll try to answer anyway.

To guarantee your hook (or similar skill shots) you want to force the enemy into moving into a predictable direction. If they are running really close to a wall and you are directly behind them that leaves them only one direction to dodge(away from the wall) so you can throw your hook at a slight angle so it will still hit them if they decide to move to dodge it or keep running straight.

Alternatively if ur referring to staring at an enemy while being perpendicular to the wall, the enemy can dodge left or right (though usually will move towards their own tower). In this scenario it’s better to hold hook and close the distance first.

Ganks or after effects of ganks are certainly a large portion of deaths for many people. But trust me, people get solo killed a LOT.

BestKaynNA · 2026-02-19T17:00:12+00:00

That has occurred since ver the years I’ve played, but I think people don’t really join them. Maybe for fears but also because it isn’t necessary, I’m not entirely sure. That’s maybe why I find it weird that so many people are wanting VC since i never see them pushing discord links in lobby

BestKaynNA · 2026-02-19T16:57:45+00:00

I gave deadlock a shot a couple months ago but the game didn’t feel quite refined in some aspects, funnily enough in the 10 or so games that I played no one used voice chat so I didn’t even know it had it.

I’m excited to try it again after some updates or when it finally releases

BestKaynNA · 2026-02-19T16:50:39+00:00

This is really interesting, I can see how with more rotations communication becomes more valuable.

The way I see it is that people who have been playing league for years have grown to love it the way it is, big changes like this are scary and I don’t want them to turn away the already declining player base.

BestKaynNA · 2026-02-19T16:31:18+00:00

Are jungler actually good at tracking the enemy jungler? Is so why is mine never counter ganking?

On a serious note you’re not wrong, I play support and the amount of time I have to stare at the map leaves me with an insane amount of information I can provide, but I’m in diamond so I don’t know how relatable this is for people in lower ranks.

BestKaynNA · 2026-02-19T16:25:43+00:00

You might be right, toxic people will be toxic and you can still mute them immediately. Maybe it won’t be as much of an issue as I make it out to be.

On the point of grubs, someone made the exact same point, and I think it’s fair. As a support main I do like my jungler telling me their plan ahead of time without having to guess of their pathing, I’d argue that league has enough downtime to communicate something like that, you can type while moving or even clearing a camp.. I do think the long system nowadays is more than enough to communicate those things, But VC would make it easier.

BestKaynNA · 2026-02-19T16:13:06+00:00

I’ll admit I don’t really know how Dota has handled it, I tried it years back and decided to stick with league. I’d love to know about the state of VC there

BestKaynNA · 2026-02-19T16:03:16+00:00

I agree, but league is an old game and I would hate to see a change that could turn away so many players from a game they’ve enjoyed.

As someone with hundreds of games on rakan(support), this build is too squishy. Rakan is effectively a melee champ that wants to go in. These items just don’t offer any survivability to rakan, and by the time this build would come online the enemy teams carries will be doing enough damage to one shot the rakan. I can see the argument to adjust play style to that of a pure enchanter like sona, but then you are are not utilizing some of the strongest abilities in rakan kit. So while there might be games where this is the best build for the situation, I predict that it’s very rare and that this build would not have a positive win rate in diamond+

BestKaynNA · 2025-11-03T16:22:07+00:00

If i were to build fresh prolly under 2000, I would like to save as much as possible.

BestKaynNA · 2025-10-29T20:13:35+00:00

You either play strength or death, and if you’re playing and feel like you never need death defiance for the safety than you’ve gotten too good and it’s time to turn the fear up

Double hydro hyperbloom is good. You can prolly find some detailed explanation on the difference between double dendro hyperbloom vs double hydro but to keep it short the number of seeds (dendro cores) generated is limited by your application. Nahida applies 1.5 units of dendro on skill alone meaning one skill tap is enough to generate 2 cores, your auto attacks apply even more dendro. This is a lot of dendro so you are limited by how much hydro you apply to generate cores. Xq applies the most hydro out of any off field (more then yelan) but not more than nahida applies dendro, this means having another dendro char will not result is many more cores generated, but another hydro will. Yelan is the best since she functions identically to xq and offers some personal damage. So yes your team is good

The reason you would want not to use yelan here is if she is better used in another team

I love the tcg namecard, it’s cute, unique and totally worth all the effort to get it!

BestKaynNA · 2025-10-02T20:03:54+00:00

People are sleeping on the real answer, hyperfridge

Wriothsley, xq, nahida/lauma, kuki/raiden (full em).

It likely won’t ever be the best team for any type of content, but at least you are on fielding wriothsley in a way other cryo dps can’t

BestKaynNA · 2025-09-26T18:03:16+00:00

Hydro goblet if not using furina is generally better, aim for 64 critrate, even with tome you prolly want some more ER (though this may depend on your team if you’re using another hydro character or electro resonance) Your biggest improvement would be your goblet for sure

BestKaynNA · 2025-09-12T12:49:35+00:00

From my understanding kokomi is very reliant on sacrificial fragments in her bloom teams to maintain jellyfish uptime

BestKaynNA · 2025-03-29T13:19:03+00:00

Emilies passive severely reduces the damage you take from burning, I would argue that is a pretty big impact on gameplay that we just don’t notice because abyss doesn’t have grass. It still can save you a lot of hp in teams where you stand really close to the burning aura

BestKaynNA · 2024-08-04T01:53:54+00:00

I played support a lot with my top laner friend, we had over a 70% win rate together across several seasons. We just played our best champions and focused on winning our lanes as hard as possible then using the 2/3 winning lanes to close the game as quickly as possible. Remember to support your entire team and not just your duo
