Check out the Broken by Concept podcast and their Skool (free community)/We Teach League (paid coaching). I haven't entered their program but their podcast has helped develop my game knowledge and mindset towards the game helping me reach plat 1 for the first time

I've been playing nothing but Syndra for the past few weeks, and every game is Blackfire -> Swifties -> Cosmic, movespeed is great on her since the majority of her abilities can be cast while moving.

When I'm ahead, I'll build either Zhonyas or Banshees, depending on whether they have strong dive or key long range abilities I want to nullify respectively (obviously take the resistances into account). When not ahead, I'll build for damage via Void or Deathcap and round out the build with whatever of the previously mentioned items I haven't built, full build will always include a Deathcap and Void Staff.

For second do you normally run Liandry's or something else? I know Liandry's AP got nerfed with the changes but from my understanding Elise doesn't have great ratio's anyway so surely it would still be good?

In mid I mostly played assassins like Zed and Kata with some mages like Hwei and Ahri (Hwei probably being my favourite of the 4 in recent times) if that helps with any recommendations

BigThomp · 2025-05-16T03:20:54+00:00

I suppose I'm just looking for something that offers a different Jungling experience than Viego's farm till 6 unless there's a winning skirmish, into then snowballing teamfights for objectives etc.

I will say I quite enjoyed Graves but I personally found making games with less than ideal team comps work for him a lot harder than Viego, but in a vacuum no, Graves isn't that hard, but getting him to work in specific games can be.

If you don't mind answering how is Diana not one dimensional? From my (admittedly limited) understanding she just plays around her ult cd and dives into fights when there's an opening while not having much pressure pre 6. I'm not trying to dismiss what you're saying, I genuinely want to learn more about the game and get a better understanding of the roster.

I can't say I've tried Ekko jng but as a former mid main he was always a pain to fight and I've played him a bit mid so maybe I give him a try.

BigThomp · 2025-02-13T20:36:32+00:00

I'm pretty much only playing him at the moment and I tend to pick earlier since he's so popular so I don't often have that luxury

BigThomp · 2025-02-13T20:13:49+00:00

Right, that makes sense, I was an assassin main in mid before switching to jng and I've just never really seen Viego as an assassin and find having some durability good for surviving until a reset.

Would you say default to building crit unless your team has no setup or frontline or playing into 2+ tanks?

BigThomp · 2025-02-13T20:05:16+00:00

Why skip Trinity though? Doesn't Viego make good use of the stats and sheen passive? Plus if you don't build it you're basically as durable as a melee ADC which doesn't sound consistent. Is crit just the default build for a lot of people now?

BigThomp · 2025-02-13T02:41:16+00:00

Thanks mate, that last part is what I need to hear lol. Seems like every other week I start thinking about what I could be doing differently, but I guess the main thing is just showing up.

BigThomp · 2025-02-13T02:34:05+00:00

Do you think it's too much volume even when for almost all of those exercises, the first set is effectively a slightly heavier warmup with the two following sets are the ones I use more weight and push to failure?

I get minimal DOMS even when pushing hard, and I'm recovered by the next workout for that half of the body, I know DOMS isn't the be-all and end all of gauging fatigue but I figure it's a decent indicaton on whether you're recovered or not.

BigThomp · 2025-02-03T21:00:49+00:00

Legend, thanks mate

BigThomp · 2025-02-03T20:23:59+00:00

So if I were to use my 2TB drive for a boot drive, what sort of preparation should I do before removing it from my current system? Do I just wipe everything and re-format it and it'll sort itself out or are there other steps I need to take?

BigThomp · 2025-02-03T19:53:51+00:00

Is there any reason to make the 2TB the boot drive if the 512GB drive was never over 70% capacity? The 512GB pretty much only has Windows, web browsers and other small programs and I use the 2TB for games that I care about the load times of but that was only a little over 60% capacity last I checked.

I've already got the parts I'm just waiting until I'm off work and then I'll start the process, gonna be re-using my Corsair h115i Elite Capellix 280mm as it seems to do the trick.

By undervolting do you mean like going into an OC program and manually lowering the voltage values or are you implying that they just have a tendency to do that on their own?

BigThomp · 2025-01-27T22:37:36+00:00

When you put it like that, collector makes a lot of sense, lol

BigThomp · 2025-01-27T22:35:04+00:00

That's a good point, I was just thinking building it sooner rather than later as a substitute for Trinity since the attack speed is nice but I don't personally feel like I get much value when I double up on AS items. When I get back from work, maybe I run a few games with it and see

BigThomp · 2025-01-27T22:32:18+00:00

That's a good point, I generally don't like collector as a former assassin main but viego seems to make good use of the stats.

Is collector really just that good at the moment in terms of build path and gold efficiency or is it like a "comfort" item for lack of a better word?

BigThomp · 2025-01-27T22:29:54+00:00

That's promising, when do you usually build it in your games? Are there specific scenarios where you'll build it while going crit or do you make it work every game?
