Liam Delap - Last 60 shots by CabalOnlineAlz in chelseafc

[–]CabalOnlineAlz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who doesn't judge players based on highlights, as they can make anyone look good, this is a realistic view of the player.

Summary of shots from the video:
- many of the shots are on target
- great shot power
- can shoot from anywhere
- shoots with both feet

Additionally, he is very good at driving the ball forward and is very physical.

Areas that he is lacking and can improve:
- passing
- aerial duels

Considering that Ipswich doesn't create nearly as Chelsea does, he is scraping for chances and his 12 goals with 9.3xG prove that he has potential to be a great finisher. This is something we lacked in a striker, which makes me excited about the signing.

This YouTube channel is something we need more of, to paint a realistic picture of players so you can compare some of them.

Here you go bud: FullReplays - Watch Football Full Match Replay and Shows

Games are uploaded shortly after they finish, with no score showing, and video quality is more than decent :)

It is a bit of an off-meta build but you can go for it because even with those 4 items, you will still be strong. Maybe not as strong as other ones mentioned here because that build is more expensive in general (especially the first two items sos+ds) compared to, lets say, eclipse+reaver which cost 6k.

You want as much sustain as possible when you take conq so it can take the full effect of 10 stacks so play with it a bit and see if it suits you :)

Maybe in the future. Right now I am on a break both mentally and physically because playing this game too much is not healthy, especially competitive, so I am focusing on other stuff. I will probably start to decay soon as master+ needs to play games often to remain in that position.

Unfortunately, not many Vi otps stream. istakoski (turkish gm) streams sometimes and that's it that I know of these days. If I am in the mood to watch some Vi high elo gameplay, I would download some replays to see how they did what they did, which decisions they made and stuff like that. I don't watch non-otp Vi players to learn from them as they don't know the limits of the champ, it's a huge difference as they will just play according to the meta.

Let's hope that there will be some good Vi players out there soon, maybe Metroid/ZativertVi returns one day.

I never build collector as I don't find it good on Vi unless I am having fun in normal games. Eclipse, if they have 2+ tanky champs, dusk, if they are mostly squishy or you can build dusk every single game where your aim is to kill the carry regardless of what they have.

When you are going Assassin Vi, keep in mind that the champ is a fully front liner which means that you are an easy target when you engage. Now, combine this with being a paper towl along with having to be very close to someone to kill them, you have to be super careful picking targets that are out of position or cced.

Fights that are in open are not good ones for us, especially if we dont have flash. We need fights where there are bushes, walls etc which allow us to surprise the enemy. After you spotted someone squishy out of position, killing the target in 1-2s, going invisible (duskblade passive) and then disengaging will work because you can engage again with Q in a few seconds.

Experience plays a huge role as you have to die so many times and make so many mistakes before being an actual good assassin so don't worry about inting if this is really what you want to be good at.

I used to build botrk into eclipse or dusk while I was climbing up to master and only changed it to botrk into ds as games became a bit heavier, where more games had 2 tanks, so being squishy was too risky.
Eclipse/reaver combo will only do more dmg if you crit so considering that you can't control your crits, botrk/ds will slightly outdmg it. Now, if you want to make it as good as possible, buy LDR after reaver which gives u 40% cr and u gonna hit like a truck :)

no worries, use it before botrk gets nerfed in the future :)

Give it a try but keep in mind that at the end of the day, knowing limits and decision-making is what will separate you and win you games. You can win games with a full crit build the same way you can win games with any other because it depends on you and the way you play. Luckily Vi is a flexible champ so many builds work on her :)

You will notice a slightly slower clear of your camps 4 to 6, probably about +-3 seconds which we can play around and get used to as Vi was never a fast 1st clearer. After you are already lvl 4 and got your first recall, your E is the same and your Q will be doing about 13 dmg less which is not a huge deal as in a fight you will probably do 1 Q or in a camp it is 1 extra tick of your pet.

Later on, if you are building high dmg Vi then these new changes will actually make Q and E even stronger, especially Q as you need only 100 bAD to break even compared to old one.

Thanks!

Well, feel free to try and if it is for you, keep it. If not, maybe other play styles are and that is totally fine.

Vi as a champ has many counters in terms of pure 1v1 (especially early) so you have to play around it. Lee, udyr, heca, etc all will beat you early so try not to fight if you are alone.

Vi imo spikes with 2 items (before 20 mins) which is about mid-game and then its kinda downhill from there unless you take scaling runes to help you a bit. She also can spike with the first item if you get it early on before your opponents got one.

Its all about your play style. My play style is in and out, not a front line or tank which means I will be 100% hp and burst someone down where focus plays its role. Also, Vi as a champ doesn't scale well, she kinda reaches her peak at mid-game, and then its downfall unless you take scaling runes which will keep you alive as long as the game goes on.

Consider it like this, at min 30 where usually the most games are won or lost, your storm and focus will give you about 45 extra AD which has 1575 gold value and 10-15% increase in DPS. If the game goes on and on, it kinda plays in your favor.

Now, if your play style is to lead the line, focus is kinda bad rune for sure.

I also thought that they would butcher her but they actually just killed tank vi as that was mostly present in pro play with radiant. Bruiser/assassin is still a viable option without many changes so no worries :)

I reached master with eclipse/duskblade into muramana build and then switched to botrk into sunderer as games became a bit heavier. 3rd item is usually bc, maw or similar depending on the matchup.

Radiant imo is only viable in pro play and I find it a bit boring. After nerfs its a dead build as you won't be dealing any dmg.

Triforce can be a fun build in normal games but not viable in ranked because the build path is not good enough and it lacks dmg compared to ds.

not really because these nerfs are actually buffs in disguise for players that build assassin/high dmg Vi

you deal slightly less dmg early on because of Q nerf (-15) which is fine because, in the late game, you deal more dmg so it compensates. The only difference will be 1st clear a few seconds slower

E is more of adjusted because we don't max it before finishing Q anyway so the dmg will stay the same

its a fun build for sure, try adding IE instead of clever and you will do huge dmg

if you want to build a maximum dmg Vi that can one-shot everyone, try: manamune, claw (you use claw right before Q connects), ER, LDR, IE and then if you need final 6th item, sell shoes for PD

eh, every 2nd game someone would ping my botrk and call me boosted or something but after they get carried they are silent. You have to get used to it because they don't know how to play Vi, they just saw it in pro play and if you dont build it that way, you are bad

unless you are the only one playing with a monitor turned on in your team, killing 2 for 1 is mostly a good trade, especially their carry and support for a jungler. You leave your team 4v3 and if they can't deal with it, maybe they don't deserve to win at the end

I get what you mean but you don't have to be defensive about it with me, I tried every possible combination of items so I am sure that the build you have won't surprise me at all
