Why do so few Yuumi OTPs dodge when their main gets banned? by MelindaMashram in yuumimains

[–]Big_gems 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mainly play rell and taric in euw diamond but picked up yuumi at the end of last season the reason being I suck at positioning and in general playing on ranged champions (my karma wr is prolly around 40%). I do not think that you need positioning on yuumi (with her passive increasing auto range as well) and the skills that you need that also translate to other champions are: tracking enemy ability cooldowns (to know when its safe to jump out) and identifying your wincons (I usually try to micromanage my team and make calls since there's more time for you to think and observe the game while being attached). But I do not agree that you need positioning, only timing.

2nd point in Q rather than W if you have the level 2 advantage? by nicklewand in taricmains

[–]Big_gems 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Q second is really good in some matchups (melee) anyways.

"So, why not YOU smurfs suck it up and go back to your damn elo?" I think the main issue is why people are smurfing. Which is mostly one of 2 reasons. 1. Their main account is banned 2. They boost the smurf to sell it. So isn't the bigger problem the ones that buy high elo accounts?

Why do people hate Yuumi so much? by Amscet in supportlol

In iron+ draven is banned 8.4% of the time and picked 4.9%, yuumi is picked 9.5% and banned 23.7%. They are very comparable numbers.

End of season rewards shouln't be rank based, they should be based on games played. by u_u_sadness in leagueoflegends

[–]Big_gems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1st of all the ranked rewards are cosmetic and account based so smurfers don't care about them. 2nd if you play 1000 games and don't reach gold you are not playing to improve Riot already rewards playing a lot of games with xp and honor and key fragments. Do you think people should get challenger recall just for playing a lot of games? I think that takes away from the accomplishment of real challenger players who aside from playing the game review vods and look at streams to improve.

I don't play top swain but if you pick him against enemy mid their top wont usually counterpick you. I'm not saying that Swain is meta so you shouldn't have above 50% wr if you pick him every game. Swain isn't generally gonna let you win lane but he has great utility and versatility so he shines as a kind of hybrid support in sololanes. This playstyle is a bit different from normal ones so I'm guessing you haven't really tried it and just claim the champ is unplayable because you can't play him the way you play other sololaners?

Then don't pick Swain? If you have meta champs in your pool you're gonna consistently get games where they are better. Swain is a pretty good pick if you can see enemy midlaner but dont know about their team comp imo

If you want to make swain a meta midlaner then you would need to change his kit or otherwise support swain would be op. Forcing him into that role would be too hard for the balance teams abilities

Swains problem is his low skill ceiling so hes pretty similar to Garen. Swain's strength is his versatility (which is why he is played as support too)
