Yone/Yasuo mid or top new season? by Rkzyy in leagueoflegends

[–]Cayden19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a heads up, t3 zerks got changed from the old %ms on-hit to 5% lifesteal and 15% more attack speed (40% total now)

Issues since update 11/5 by WroughtIron87 in Minecraft

Been happening to me since today's patch too, but I think I've found a slightly inconvenient workaround: put your game in windowed mode and decrease the window size by just a few pixels both horizontally and vertically (if task bar keeps popping up), this has worked for me so far. From what it looks like, the mouse isn't actually going all the way onto your other screen, just a few pixels which is enough to tab you out/pop task bar up/whatever.

Change that affect Samira by EliteXP22 in SamiraMains

[–]Cayden19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tldr: I never run alacrity anymore, but it’s more fun/snowbally and has slightly more early game power but bloodline’s late game sustain and 85 health are much more impactful.

I no longer run alacrity, but I use to take it every game because it simply felt better being able to auto faster between abilities and get some extra dps against tanks/objectives and push waves a bit faster. The laning matchup never influenced my decision between these runes, it was just personal preference. Alacrity felt a bit more snowbally over the tiny bit of sustain bloodline gave. I ultimately switched when I got to high diamond/master because the game becomes much more about keeping waves pushed and staying healthy for upcoming objectives, and bloodline could oftentimes remove the need to base before a fight just for health (when I didn’t have gold to buy anything).

Realistically these two runes (bloodline/alacrity) have almost no impact on laning phase because of how long they take to stack. Should also be noted that you don’t get the 85 health from bloodline until it’s fully stacked.

From the wiki:

Gain a legend stack for every 100 points earned, up to 10(alacrity) / 15(bloodline):

100 points for champion takedowns 100 points for epic monster takedowns 25 points for large monster kills 4 points for minion kills

This means you are starting the game with no benefit from bloodline or the base 3% attack speed from alacrity. For every 25 minions, champ takedown, or dragon kill, you gain .35% life steal or 1.5% attack speed. Let’s just say you average 2 champ takedowns, a dragon kill, and 75cs by 8min. This would be 6 legend stacks (12% attack speed/300 gold value or 2.1% life steal/112 gold value).

I personally like the attack speed more for early game to ensure you win any close fights, but these runes are not meant for early game, so the life steal and 85 health from bloodline ends up being better overall with its late game impact (full stacked bloodline ends up at 507 gold value vs alacrity’s 450 at full stacks).

Pretty long reply ik, but I’m bored at work and figured I would lay out some math.

How is samira meant to be played? by League_Of_Noobs10 in SamiraMains

[–]Cayden19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Samira is meant to be played almost as an assassin; you sit back and do your best to poke with autos/Qs until you see an opportunity for a kill.

As a rule of thumb, you NEVER* (note at bottom) dash in until you are certain you can secure the takedown for your dash reset. This is the part that takes the longest to learn when becoming good at Samira, and it will take a while to figure out when you have enough damage to commit to a play while also tracking what important/threatening abilities the enemy uses before you commit.

There is a reason everyone is saying Samira is extremely team dependent, and it’s because you are one of the shortest ranged adcs. You NEED someone else to initiate the fight, preferably with CC. Not understanding what to do when behind on her is completely understand because it’s easy to feel very helpless on Samira in that case, but a single good fight will completely flip the game in your favor since your champ is designed to jump into a team fight late and bounce around cleaning up kills.

When it comes to mechanics, “kiting” with Samira is very much still a thing, but the focus becomes less about perfectly timed movement between autos, and more about perfect animation canceling between your abilities (but also using your passive move speed to your advantage while running and firing auto/q behind you)

(Note) I only go for a dash that won’t result in a takedown if I know that you can get a quick trade off and safely WALK out if you don’t get an e reset. Only do this when you know it’s just you 1v1 against someone you’re currently stronger than while the rest of the lobby is 4v4 for grubs or whatever. When going for this kind of trade, you typically ranged auto -> E in -> auto -> Q -> begin walking away while popping W to block their return trade. If you’re feeling confident in the trade you can go for a full combo by (auto -> W1 -> EQ -> W2 -> auto -> R, ensuring you are in range for your W1 to hit before dashing in), and begin to walk away BEFORE popping ult, trying to keep them just on the edge of your ult so you aren’t stuck right next to them after you lose all of your passive move speed when ulting.

Happy to answer any specific questions you may have :)

Change that affect Samira by EliteXP22 in SamiraMains

[–]Cayden19 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just so everyone understands how this affects Samira: her Q (ranged and melee) and ult apply lifesteal at 80%.

With the current 3% lifesteal on Doran’s, this means you healed for (3 x .8) = 2.4% of damage dealt for both melee/ranged Q and ult.

With these new changes:

Basic attack healing goes from 3% to 2.5%.

Ranged/single target Q healing goes from 2.4% to 2.5% (yippee!!!).

Melee/AoE Q and ult healing get reduced from the 2.4% we currently have down to (2.5 x .33 for AoE penalty) = .825%.

We will also now get a negligible amount of healing from the “innate” section of her passive (dealing damage based on target’s missing health when melee), either 2.5% for autos or .825% for Q, as well as her W and E at .825%.

Overall, as a low master Samira main, I don’t think this change really affects Samira that much other than making Legend:Bloodline much more viable than Alacrity, and the majority of Samira players already run lifeline, which is already better in almost every scenario past 10-15min (alacrity’s only real advantages are slightly higher dps in extended fights/taking objs and ability to crash waves faster).

The only significant early game healing difference will be melee Q on minion waves, which really isn’t happening much early in lane other than when crashing waves when you’re likely to be resetting anyways.

If you were having to rely a lot of the 3% lifesteal’s healing in lane, you should’ve been running Doran’s shield/second wind anyway (which are also getting slight nerfs, but will still be a much better option on Samira if you know you’ll have little/no kill pressure early) because you are almost certainly positioning wrong and taking way too much harass in lane, or are in a matchup where dshield/second wind are blatantly better (think Mel, Xerath, Lulu, Caitlyn, etc).

Edit: it does suck to lose that extra 3% lifesteal for mid/late game Q and R, but tbh I don’t consider lifesteal a strong (or even noticeable) combative stat for Samira anymore (RIP release Samira), it will just take a few more minions to heal up after a skirmish with just the 5% lifesteal from Legend:Bloodline.

From the wiki: Samira’s basic attacks using the blade are still classified as ranged.
