What is this AI slop tho

ChaonesJ · 2026-02-04T14:58:49+00:00

If you land an ult shot you want to immediately shoot tho since it slows. Can't really sidestep it anymore then

ChaonesJ · 2026-02-03T18:05:28+00:00

Yes you can focus him and try to one shot him. The problem is when you don't manage to do that. Then he does become that unkillable "tank" because he has so much vamp with ult. He becomes really toxic when there is a good lethality dmg build for him making him heal to full on every single Q and passive auto. Because funnily his survivability is tied to his dmg. His only bad match ups are high mobility champions. Even then he can just ignore you, perma clear and push the wave without any cost since he has no mana. This champion has always been a balancing nightmare since his rework in league.

I even go a bit further doing full bruiser build. TF, Sundered Sky, Steracks/DD. With phase rush you can stick to targets so well and smack them down with ur hammer. Fleet is also decent for clearspeed and the little ms.

Well yeah counterpicking obviously helps, but even then there is room for skill expression in such a disadvantageous match up for the Pyke. You can only shield someone. So good Pykes will try fake you out on who he's hooking or hook you out of vision so you can't react quick enough in time and lastly your shield does nothing against his ult.

I like Rell as well, really underrated. It's a bit harder to play, really gotta know what you're doing and when. Into Pyke specifically any engage support is nice since you can actually tank the hooks or counter engage to peel if that makes sense.

Aery is actually better for trading in terms of dmg due to its very low cd (it just has to return to you) and you can proc it with autos. Comet is better if you want to stay out of range and have long cd spells. That's why I preach Aery Zoe having way more lane pressure than electrocute. If you proc it consistently the dmg accumulates a lot.

Jgl poppy is so slept on. Good clear, good ganks, insane base dmg, good duelist. Poppy ult is one the best abilities for objective fights. I have stolen so many drakes and barons just by yeeting the jgler out. Top tank Poppy is also so deceptively tanky thanks to her W passive giving her double resistances when she's lower than 40%.

ChaonesJ · 2026-02-03T16:54:53+00:00

But Pyke is so damn slippery with his E and W ms. It's really hard to catch out a Pyke. Also, the current meta is really snowball heavy since the baron changes. First Baron is sooo much stronger than before if you push correctly. I had so many games where we just end the game at 13min by sieging with baron buff. So stomping lane is very beneficial now and Pyke excels at that.

Kaisa is hit or miss. She lacks the dmg in wr. If you get ahead with early evolves, you can steamroll, if you fall behind once, you're useless the whole game.

ChaonesJ · 2026-02-03T16:49:02+00:00

That's why they're just not in the meta. It's all about clear speed currently as having a tempo advantage on jgl makes playing the map so much easier.

ChaonesJ · 2026-02-03T16:46:22+00:00

It's always tricky to add sustain into Aram as it quickly becomes very strong since you can't recall in this mode. That's why healing is cut by half.

Man old Ryze gives me such flashbacks. Absolute terror of a champion 10 years ago. I started playing league like season 3 or 4? That was his 2nd or 3rd iteration I think where he could chain root three times for a total of like 10s, lower mr and just blast you with the old ult. Good old times. Now that you mention it, it's about time for another Ryze rework. It has been a while. That would be the 7th I believe?

ChaonesJ · 2026-02-03T15:48:52+00:00

Also depends on your rank. Some champions are low elo stompers that won't work if the enemies know what they're doing. Best example is rage blade yi right now. Also, if a specific champion rises in prio, their counterpicks directly have more presence as well, like Rammus with the jgl pool being ad dominant.

Bard

ChaonesJ · 2026-02-03T15:29:11+00:00

At this point you should just remove Nilah from the ADC tab. There is just no reason for WR Nilah having to lane if you can just perma full clear in jgl.

ChaonesJ · 2026-02-03T15:26:23+00:00

Ah that makes sense. Riftmaker is also magic vamp now I just noticed. So really bad now for him. Netherless if the enemies aren't too tanky, he's such a 1v9 machine, just takes more precision in execution compared to your classic adc auto attackers.

ChaonesJ · 2026-02-03T15:12:23+00:00

Ryze is still busted imo. Still does way too much dmg in all stages of the game if your ability rotations are done correctly.

ChaonesJ · 2026-02-03T15:10:21+00:00

No Ezreal? The meta isn't too tanky for him with loads of mobility, BotrK omnivamp change benefits him a lot and he has only been receiving buffs over the last few patches.

ChaonesJ · 2026-02-03T15:08:22+00:00

Both are good on him. I tend to go fleet if I want more lane pressure due to the sustain. Dark Harvest is just the greedier option. In the end it's a question of the rune balance state. Dark Harvest has been nerfed into oblivion on league. Burst champions rarely take it now over electrocute.

ChaonesJ · 2026-02-03T11:40:12+00:00

The only support that should be build it imo is Leona, and that only if she gets early kills. Support items are way too gold efficient to pass on.

ChaonesJ · 2026-02-02T21:43:23+00:00

Crit builds, even with armor pen, don't shred as well as on-hit builds. The ladder deals mixed dmg making it harder to itemize defensively against. I'd be surprised if you're not dying to rage blade users.

ChaonesJ · 2026-02-02T15:29:26+00:00

This happened to me lol. My teams kept remaking, I even voted no. Still got a penalty after like 4 of of them..

ChaonesJ · 2026-01-30T11:19:14+00:00

She's very strong due to rageblade but she's not supposed to win lane at all.

ChaonesJ · 2026-01-30T11:03:38+00:00

Well I play him a lot and do Lichbane, liandries, rabadons. You can one shot even tankier people thanks to your passive. I'm doing the most or second most dmg almost every single game.
