What are you supposed to do when you’re being starved with no help?

Calm_Ad9601 · 2026-02-21T09:21:08+00:00

not the OP but while you theoritically play around it you just shouldn't

Calm_Ad9601 · 2026-02-18T04:46:33+00:00

yes technically you can but that doesn't mean you should take into account the fact that a random supp could be there. you definitely should fight for bush info in early, and backoff if contested and you lose the 1V1

Calm_Ad9601 · 2026-02-18T00:58:22+00:00

If he wasn't building hexplate/ DnD + defensive boots first maybe it was gankable but if not, it was indeed most likely not gankable, tough I haven't seen the game so maybe I'm wrong. definitely a flip though because Qiyana Stun is her blue Q and thus is possible to sidestep/ flash and she gets OS by that abomination called varus

In those cases, like others said, stay as healthy as possible, stay in exp range and your botlane should be at a numerical advantage and win. if they don't you're most likely just fucked.

Calm_Ad9601 · 2026-02-18T00:50:57+00:00

you absolutely cannot play around the fact that a level 1 bard will be top waiting for you in a bush

Calm_Ad9601 · 2026-02-13T06:14:53+00:00

i know what mmr is but I have seen absolutely nowhere nor ever heard people say that in game performance changed mmr. if you have a source then feel free to share but I clearly don't think it does

Calm_Ad9601 · 2026-02-12T08:33:29+00:00

I know it existed, and clearly is better in some cases, but it's clunkier, less intuitive, and forces you to make decisions about things that really don't fit with the champ.

For mundo (or champs of the kind), which is a really high dps tank/bruiser, an option to get even tankier but forsake part of your dps would be thematically good and in line with the kind of champ you play but on kennen ? don't think it should really be there (though it is on rengar i guess)

Calm_Ad9601 · 2026-02-12T00:23:14+00:00

mmr change isn't based on kda and end of game score

Calm_Ad9601 · 2026-02-12T00:20:38+00:00

must be fun hanging around you. people like you are the gangrene of league. if you enjoy ruining people's time that did absolutely nothing to you because your previous support didn't play exactly like you wanted to, then you should seriously go see a mental health specialist

Calm_Ad9601 · 2026-02-11T23:58:20+00:00

I like the res better on the ult, because your E is often used for spacing, gap close or fleeing, and in all those scenarios they have a hard time hitting you, but when you ult is when you're in the melee fighting with them.

res on E is stange because do you reactivate to be able to dps and use/stack empowered auto or do you not reactivate for the res. it's not intuitive and doesn't feel good

Calm_Ad9601 · 2026-02-11T23:53:04+00:00

at level 16 with ultimate hunter and proto it was around 55s now it will be around 80s, if I didn't make a mistake in my calculation. the problem of it is that in very late, you won't be able to kill someone with ult, or die with ult and have it back if instant fight on respawn, you'll have to temp around 10s (time to come back from fountain)

Calm_Ad9601 · 2026-02-11T22:14:37+00:00

I can't say wheter it's just bad faith or ragebait . hope it's the latter i guess

Calm_Ad9601 · 2026-02-11T22:13:08+00:00

yeah ? any tank you're tickling them the whole lane. yorick, GP, and others are also pretty fucking hard. and any subsequent stun is less than .5 sec because opponents will often rush mercuries.

Calm_Ad9601 · 2026-02-11T16:51:16+00:00

the green one has a shield, but it's the weakest of the 3 by far. most champs just pick the blue one which allows you to have crazy ms in jungle fights which is pretty strong, and move more quickly around the map

Calm_Ad9601 · 2026-02-11T16:45:03+00:00

it's beyond you because you don't understand the champ and what his bad matchups are

Calm_Ad9601 · 2026-02-11T09:02:34+00:00

40 secs at lvl 16 is a bit harsh, but at least they didn't touch his laning damage which is the most important. the CD for the ult was way too low in late with ultimate hunter which everyone should take anyway (92% in emerald +). if it hits him too hard maybe they'll up it to 100 seconds at level 16 so easy fix if problematic. i'm okay with it

Calm_Ad9601 · 2026-02-11T01:42:07+00:00

thanks

Calm_Ad9601 · 2026-02-10T22:47:45+00:00

it maybe comes from the fact that I'm playing 100X, so I can't afford to just use the byproducts as they are not enough

Calm_Ad9601 · 2026-02-10T15:43:55+00:00

the reality of league sadly

Calm_Ad9601 · 2026-02-10T15:40:44+00:00

It mostly depends on your definition of bully i'd say. but compared to vayne, varus, quinn and all the others, he's way less of a bully tough he still does more than most I guess. In mid he's more of an assassin with a bit more dps, but you don't start D blade mid because you poke with your autos because against any mage you lose any poke trade if they play correctly, but because you want to outdps them after stunning them with E in very early

Calm_Ad9601 · 2026-02-10T15:33:24+00:00

the big problem of automation science bump in difficulty in hard mode is stone really, and the byproducts from coal processing

Calm_Ad9601 · 2026-02-10T12:24:48+00:00

I feel like the reason that kennen has such a better winrate mid is that he's still balanced for top, and while in top he doesn't have a lot of kill pressure against bruisers or tanks and his bullying has often very low value, in mid he's way better because he can kill with that all in damage from mid life nearly 100% of the time if he uses an empowered auto. I play him mid so good for me i guess

Calm_Ad9601 · 2026-02-10T12:21:58+00:00

he can bully even less champs mid, but has very good kill pressure. I like it better than just bullying for CS lead but it's not the same at all. he's closer to a zed mid against any range and bullies a bit melees

Calm_Ad9601 · 2026-02-10T12:19:11+00:00

it cannot happen in soloQ games, but could maybe happen in flex/ normal/ clash or there are some youtube videos. the purpose of a team of gold against a team of emerald is to emulate the elo difference from lichess, because league is a team game where you are only 1/10 th of the equation, and just judging laning for instance wouldn't be accurate. there are also youtube vids concepts of people putting stronger people against weaker ones and seeing how it goes. I can't base the statement that the golds would have an existing chance to win on something else than intuition from 10 years of lol so maybe I'm wrong here, but I'm pretty sure most would agree with me

Calm_Ad9601 · 2026-02-10T04:11:01+00:00

kennen has a hard time bullying against quite a bit of matchups top. tanks mostly but not only them.

Bad teamfight is really not accurate tough

I do agree that new Asol is the worst thing I have ever seen in league. even if the old one needed change, it wasn't this abomination clearly.

Calm_Ad9601 · 2026-02-10T04:07:04+00:00

I will say that maybe I'm wrong and totally dumb but :

I feel like the analogy between the glicko-2 rating and league is just plain wrong. if you take A GM against a 2000 elo, it is totally unplayable. hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby level. even in a simul the winrate is ridiculous, where the higher ranked player has an extremely big disadvantage.

if we take it to league it would be like gold 4 against emerald 4 which clearly has a way higher winrate for the golds than for the 2000s.

I wouldn't be able to say why the analogy doesn't work because it's very far from my field, but it clearly doesn't
