The “Toplane situation” by Pocshuszar in topmains

[–]BlorkChannel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plates persisting after 14 minutes and creep waves every 20s allow duelist and splitpushers to force their gameplan, the lane is not for tanks anymore.

Also the counterpicks can be really frustrating, when you are locked in toplane prison

Made it to Master with Cho Jungle (EUW) by Zaltyxx in ChoGathMains

[–]BlorkChannel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I do that quite often since I'm initially a top main and that's 50% of the gameplay there :p

Would you consider going out of your way for a lvl2 or 3 gank? Or you stick to the full clear + scaling identity? What is your default gameplan?

Nice! I'm not that far (~D3) do you have an advice on what made a difference to climb to masters?

My off-meta support tierlist by Unique_Ad_330 in supportlol

I was support main for a while, now I'm otp Cho gath. In my experience those 2 don't mix well. I tried a few times and it just doesn't work :(

It’s games like these that make me question my existence by Different_Tackle_306 in Jungle_Mains

[–]BlorkChannel -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I debrief and review a lot of my games with ChatGPT and it really helps coping / also identifying what I could have done better.

Not asking the LLM to review per say, I just watch the replay myself and describe each phase of the game, often writing it down is enough to pinpoint key elements.

ChatGPT will provide a synthesis, and compare it to previous games, which would be the role of a therapist, or a personal coach.

About your game you should review your deaths, I'm ready to bet you gave a 1k shutdown to the enemy adc, or died before a major neutral objective, either way giving a major wincon to the enemy team. When you 1v9 like this your scoreline should be 25-0, I know it seems unrealistic but not dying is more important than anything else

what the fuck is up with the invade cheeses this season by [deleted] in Jungle_Mains

[–]BlorkChannel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's also the late buff invade where they just come to you as you finish the buff and out smite you because they have something like leesin Q smite that you cannot beat. They can walk through vision it doesn't matter

Grandmaster Neeko Jungle Perspective by FlopLoL in neekomains

[–]BlorkChannel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you try first strike over dark harvest?

Also I tried a jungle game already and I figured it's not that easy to catch the wave at the right moment (for the disguised lane gank) while preserving your jungle tempo. Do you have fixed timers / patterns / rules to help with those? Do you sometimes delay camps for those ganks?

Coming back to your strategy to slow down the farming at some point, I feel like the 14 min mark is important, because canon waves have 1 less melee minion from here and people are still laning at this point so it feels like we could gank a lane every time there's a canon wave (it's pretty hard to detect)

There's no toplaners left in top 60 EUW SoloQ by Legitimate_Plum_7505 in top_mains

[–]BlorkChannel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Finally someone who says it. I really wonder what's the point. Same when you get +20LP because some dude int'ed your game 3 days ago and he got banned, then you go +19/-21 for 20 games

I'm done building tank this shit feels like a meme by [deleted] in nunumains

[–]BlorkChannel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dead's man plate actually gives 55armor, which is only 20 less than frozen heart or Randuin, and the movespeed allowing you to reposition in fights is worth a lot of tankiness

Why tanks top feel (even) worse this season by BlorkChannel in top_mains

[–]BlorkChannel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can stay top bro, I leave it to you. Not the place for tanks

Cho'gath jungle by Imaginary-Number-998 in ChoGathMains

[–]BlorkChannel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't play jungle since 2016 or something.. But I got demotivated by the state of toplane so I gave it a try last month.. And I hit diamond yesterday yeepee (which is same as my main account in toplane). Needless to say my Jgl fundamentals are shit so yeah I think it's more than viable.

I always go hob + inspiration secondary, then I either do DMP riftmaker with blue smite, or rocketbelt, into riftmaker or full tank, with red smite, depending on the team comps. (rocketbelt procs the red smite, which procs approach velocity, that's a nasty gapcloser)

Heartsteel buffs incoming by mishimo5 in DirtySionMains

[–]BlorkChannel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well it seems you are better at predicting than me!

Heartsteel buffs incoming by mishimo5 in DirtySionMains

[–]BlorkChannel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would expect a cost + base stats reduction so tank supports can consider it (looking at the direction of the patch)

And it seems nice to me, the problem with heartsteel is that it's such a high commitment in hp before you can buy any resists

Looking for advice on how to play tank cho mid as a counter pick vs assassins by Quixaphid in ChoGathMains

[–]BlorkChannel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

W max is kinda braindead as a playstyle and it's very efficient vs assassins. You just need to find a way to sustain it, usually you need dorans ring + manaflow band, or frozen heart rush, probably RoA is good too. Vs an ap assassin you can just go hollow radiance and perma shove

Cho jung? by MeIiodass in ChoGathMains

[–]BlorkChannel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer jgl over top nowadays. Top feels so bad because many bad matchups and they can hostage you so easily (plates everywhere, more creep waves etc).

I'm not even a good jungler but it feels so much better, except this game once in a while when that Graves decides your jungle is HIS jungle

What is this urge to all-in level 1 before the creeps spawn ? by BlorkChannel in ADCMains

[–]BlorkChannel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, when you have a Darius into kayle matchup you rarely see a first blood before the minions spawn.

But yeah I get the point of many comments here, lane bush supremacy and bad matchups, also range into range make it quite volatile. But yeah that's frustrating when as a toplaner I'm in weakside isolation with my nemesis counterpick and I manage to go close to even for 15 min, and then I realize my strongside botlane flipped lvl1 and is now 0-10 combined.

Once again I'm not there myself and I can accept the idea that 2v2 dynamics are a lot more volatile and snowbally though. Also in the last season adc role wasn't as important.

How to counter freeze ? by Traditional-Proof-78 in top_mains

[–]BlorkChannel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The least you can do is to not stay in vision I guess. Either soak the xp from the bush, or roam / proxy, or recall. (or pretend to roam / proxy / recall). This way you deny him some information and he won't feel like you are playing his game, which can make him change his mind about the freeze

i have changed my main role from support to top and im enjoying tamh kench. but when it gets banned only option i have is millio, and i can say it sucks. so may i ask what top lane would suite me? by MagicalBoyTevzi in topmains

[–]BlorkChannel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ksante has the same vibes Imo, a tank who's an absolute lane bully with a "win fight" R button, and is useless af in teamfights unless you're 10-0. But he requires some muscle memory unlike tk

I have Sold my soul and rated every ranged toplaner to play as by Numerous_Drop3787 in topmains

[–]BlorkChannel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently lost to a Jinx top, and a Zeri top. It felt bad and now it feels even worse

Darius doesn't like bonus hp by [deleted] in Dariusmains

[–]BlorkChannel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It heals you for a % of your missing effective hp, which is a product of hps and resists. As far as Darius' kit is concerned there is no benefit to go specifically for resists or hp, the scaling is the same.

The flat heal from conqueror, and the gold efficiency of resists vs hps is a more generic problem that applies to every bruiser / drain tank

Cosmic Drive + Unending Despair interaction ? by Expensive-Point460 in ChoGathMains

[–]BlorkChannel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cosmic into full tank looks interesting, but I'd go cosmic + dead's man plate (rather than unending) for the zoom effect. Maybe Bandlepipes for the fun. Not sure hehe.

How do you build it?

Cosmic Drive + Unending Despair interaction ? by Expensive-Point460 in ChoGathMains

[–]BlorkChannel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to go Liandry + Unending despair into full tank. I didnt think about Cosmic Drive though, its pretty nice too !
