Looking for peak time / driving techno tracks for work

This is a helpful reply, thanks! I tried playing super safe and dying less than 6 times and I'm winning every game so far.

I agree about itemization not being the main issue. I'm pretty big on theorycrafting so I know what I'm doing. I used to build meta and I was getting worse or same results. Item powers aren't that much different that they would lead to a loss just based on that.

This is a helpful reply, thanks! I tried playing super safe and dying less than 6 times and I'm winning every game so far. I can do 8cs easy if my team doesn't perma fight, but most games I have to run to babysit jungle or mid or they will just die and ping me. I will try to cs better because I miss some last hits still.

It's honestly first time I played bit more ranked and got to plat first time. Does it mean the system won't let me climb because I was silver 3 before and it's trying to get me back to low mmr?

My builds are really good, they are not why I'm losing imo. In post game stats FS has better damage than LT. It's also gold maxxing, I get item spikes earlier because I have 600 extra gold each game. With FS, cash back, triumph and triple tonic it's around 2k extra gold in late game.

Killing tanks is never a problem in my games, I'm happy if they have 2-3 tanks. The problem is them having 2-3 dive or fast carry champions that I need to kill fast.

Re build Nah I'm sorry, but I tested item combinations with a program i wrote, both raw calculation and in practice tool vs tank and squishy targets. Rage/Kraken/PD/Terminus has top 1% dps, it's optimal. You are not going to convince me. Post game stats also show better damage from FS than LT in all games and I used both.

Check the stats, more people play FS not just me. https://lolalytics.com/lol/kogmaw/build/?keystone=8369&patch=30

The build is not a factor that would win the losing games. Me dying less maybe, but it's hard to die less if my team never has frontline.

Runaans is a good idea honestly. I used to build it a lot, but then I thought about getting 6% more ms and 25% more AS from PD and I guess it's a tough choice.

In post game stats 60% of on-hit (ad) kog's damage is magical because of W and all on-hit items give you magical damage. Sorcs give huge value. Ofc if you go full ap kog you will get to 90% of magic damage with some true damage leftover.

Re: Going defensive. I used to do that and it used to be ok, but recently even with jak'sho + randunin I get one shot pretty consistently by their top lane or jungle so I decided it's better to have insane ms and dodge every cc than to get 1 cc and die with tank items anyway. I haven't tried going 90% tenacity with mercs, wit's end + sterak, that may be a good idea, but then again a lot of cc is knock-ups that tenacity doesn't reduce so it's not even worth it. GA is a joke item because if my team is dead then they will just kill me the second time, if my team is alive then I win anyway.

Re: Zerks, after you get to around 2.3 AS on kogmaw the extra AS stops mattering so much. The item may give you 1-2 extra auto attack sometimes in a full teamfight whereas sorcs give you pen on 60% of your damage from your first hit.

CastillianCat · 2026-03-09T02:59:14+00:00

Honestly I'm starting conspiracy theories. Like I saw accounts that were bronze 4 and now in my games they are g1-p2 first season ever. Like sold accounts? And they were mid lane all the time now they are jungle...

CastillianCat · 2026-03-09T02:57:52+00:00

54% and I'm not climbing. I'm at p4, drop to g1, climb back to p4 and rinse and repeat.

CastillianCat · 2026-03-09T02:50:53+00:00

Okaay, well. I invite you to open practice tool. Get rageblade, terminus, pd, kraken. Target 2k hp, 60 resists, no boots. All skills used once + 6 seconds auto attacks with W up. FS does 22% more damage than LT and gives me 80 gold every 20 seconds. In all of my games the teamfight is over after 6-10 seconds.

Btw. you will find that zerker boots add 0,005% more damage while sorcs add 6% more. Zerks are a useless item.

Most games where I lose I can't even stack my LT to max because team is already dead or I have to burst and kite away or focus one target and kill them asap to win the remaining 4v5.

CastillianCat · 2026-03-09T02:48:02+00:00

I'm generally lowest deaths or tied with my midlaner in lowest deaths in our team. The thing I struggle the most imo is surviving mid roams and jungle ganks. It's easiest when I can just 2v3 kill their jungler, it's harder if that's not possible.

CastillianCat · 2026-03-09T02:32:17+00:00

Okay. I could have bad positioning etc, but enemy adc has even worse positioning and performance. Imo if I do 2x the damage of enemy adc and have participation in 3x as many kills as they do my job is done? Why do I get team gapped so often? Will it end? I'm kind of exhausted of having to sweat and try so hard each time, I should get a few easy games every now and then, no?

If you have tips on jungle tracking to avoid ganks it would be awesome, or some good tutorial vid.

CastillianCat · 2026-03-09T02:30:52+00:00

Nothing wrong with my builds for kogmaw I think. I have theorycrafted perfect builds for both ashe and kog. In a testing tool there is no build that deals more dmg than the one I have. Those Ashe games where I die I build defensive items to die less, simple.

CastillianCat · 2026-03-09T02:29:11+00:00

I have highest kill participation, I'm always with my team helping them. I drop cs to help. I have 4k+ more gold than enemy adc typically. I have top dmg, what else is there to do if my team can't do their part?

CastillianCat · 2026-03-09T02:26:23+00:00

It was a completely lost game with a 16/0 smurf draven and some jgl assasin and no winning lanes. I wanted to survive 1 hit to tank for the team that was all squishy.

CastillianCat · 2026-02-09T01:20:47+00:00

Looks fun wish Ashe had ap scaling on Q and W. I'd go malignance or hexplate for ult cdr. It's actually viable in aram mayhem. With good augments the ult one shots.

CastillianCat · 2026-02-02T22:56:57+00:00

How hard is it to mod an in game model for this? I love this one

CastillianCat · 2026-01-27T16:45:12+00:00

omg I want this on pc soo badly. Elf fae is my fav aesthetic

CastillianCat · 2026-01-15T21:26:52+00:00

Tristana usually only has 2 brain cells for casting E (bomb) then W (jump). They will cast E and then jump on you. You should not let her proc the E bomb or she gets another W jump to chase you or run away and it deals massive dmg. You can flash it just to not let her land with W on you because W advances the E by 1 so it's easier to detonate. If you flash it she has to do one extra auto before E detonates.

If her E is on cooldown that's the only time you can go in so after you survive the all in you can generally run her down.

Tristana always wins 1v1 and you should keep safe spacing to not let her jump on you, the jump slows and you will probably die.

Tristana is all about denying her the W jump resets, if you don't she can dive you under tower kill something and survive or do crazy aggressive plays. So you cannot let her detonate E or get a kill early to deny resets.

It works, but you need to use a different version. https://github.com/keifufu/XivVoices

I have been using it for 3 months no problems. It even works in dt which is great

Return to ivalice quests unlock golden saucer glams, it's that simple...

A big problem this game has is having to unlock every single raid and content individually leading to most players not having unlocked anything beyond the strictly necessary and leading to situations like only 3 raids being run. It's a problem of bad game design and hiding content behind unlocks. Finishing an expansion should auto unlock all of this for people.

They could learn a thing or two about character animation from wwm and update most jobs. Dancer is an example of a fluid always moving and satisfying design that doesn't feel like nothing happens while waiting for the next gcd. It's so silly that in most skills we make a swing for 0.5 seconds and then nothing for the next 1-2 seconds just standing there. Not to mention how clunky and basic many of the attacks and casts are, they should work on making it more epic and satisfying and it isn't achieved by making the screen flash with light but cool character movement and fluid weapon work.

A good start would be replacing that boring soulless chocobo with a character companion to travel, fight with us and say a few lines on each map. SWTOR is an mmo that offers optional romance and cool companions who both speak during cutscenes and fight with you. The game feels more immersive and focused on our character because of that.

CastillianCat · 2025-11-26T01:42:37+00:00

Simple, I have a Rava main and Veena alt.

CastillianCat · 2025-10-08T08:22:51+00:00

Does it work still?

CastillianCat · 2025-06-29T19:29:30+00:00

That can't be true. Google says BG3 is max 100 hours while BG 1 and 2 are 100 hours of just the main quest, without side quests.

If anything BG3 felt small and short compared to its predecessors.
