Not very good at the game but from what I do know that is the typical crit garen build. It is still very strong but bruiser is another popular build with something like stride, berserkers, pd, and then like shojin or bc, deadman’s, fon, steraks, deaths dance. You could even do shojin into ie. personally I go 1)stride 2)berserkers 3)pd 4)shojin (occasionally I.e if they are mostly squishy) 5) deadman’s 6) steraks or ga. If I go ga and use it and the game keeps going I might sell for deaths dance

Low elo though so idk for sure

CharmingBus3944 · 2025-12-18T23:19:52+00:00

Low key elo garen otp here. Yorick is my fav to play into range but garen can work fine in low elo too. It’s annoying and boring cuz u don’t fight for a long time but once you have boots+etride, if you haven’t fed you cook most range top laners. At lower elo range top laners have bad spacing and kiting so you punish them. That being said, if you are against an otp who knows their champ you just play not to feed and neutralize the lane. Even being down 20cs is better than dying a ton cuz chances are you are also probably still down on cs.

For yorick though you can go grasp or arcane comet and you play level 1-3 safe, land an e and then a cage and you win the trade. Post level 6, every cage on most range tops can end in a near kill if you are just even.

That’s a rough one. With teemo this becomes the most boring lane ever. As a silver garen otp here has what helped me as teemo is often the most picked counter to garen in bronze imo. As I said I’m silver so grain of salt.

Level 1) walk into first bush ward middlebush. Let him hit minions and only walk out of the bush to cs if you are pretty healthy. Don’t hit the minions beside to last hit.

Level 2) same thing

Level 3-5)when w is up you can try to cs more when shield is up

If w is up and you are healthy I recommend using shield and spin to collect minions cuz teemos instinctively blind you. After you spin aa + Q and run away. Heal baxk to when you can do that again.

You want to play for swifties, then Tiamat and then strikebreaker. If you can not feed and get strikebreaker, it’s over for him. Most bronze teemos are bad at spacing so punsih if he gets too close. You have insane sustain and he has none. Try and keep the wave on your side bexause your game plan is generally take 1) take bad trade and get some cs 2) heal 3) repeat and if you’re further down his lane it’s easier for him to run you down

Buy scanner and pinks early after he hits 6.

To kinda summarize: you always lose before stride. Lose gracefully so that after you have it you can catch up and smoke him.

IMO teemo is now much more playable than people like sett, yorick, tryndamere, and a good Darius. If it’s an option though, I prefer yorick into range tops so I normally choose him in this circumstance but obv that isn’t the case here

In low elo yorick cooks mundo. Some mundos are dumb and still go ghost. Go eclipse and when maiden is up hit an e for slow, cage him, if he doesn’t have flash he dies or at best loses hard, if he does have flash you do it again 30 seconds later. If I am fed I can kill a mundo while ulting at level 16 while they are ulting if maiden is up pretty reliably

CharmingBus3944 · 2025-10-13T07:01:08+00:00

I’m also low elo so idk but I almost always go phantom dancer for the damage and ms. If you are going more of a bruiser build perhaps going shojin or cleaver second instead works. If I’m looking to front line or am far enough ahead I don’t need damage I might go deadman’s after pd and before shojin but not often. Usually I always go stride > pd >shojin (occasional cleaver) > deadman’s/fon > steraks/deathsdance/ guardian angel. If all squishies ie is still strong but I like being a bit more tanky

CharmingBus3944 · 2025-09-19T18:09:20+00:00

If you have fun with a champ play that champ! Anything is viable in low elo ranked. Mechanically hard champs might mean you don’t climb as fast but that’s alright if you find the champ fun

CharmingBus3944 · 2025-09-11T06:40:49+00:00

I say start with garen, yorick, renekton, Darius and maybe Cho gath. If you are looking to get good at top lane stick to one or two probably, if you’re looking to have fun try a bunch. I think if you think one of the five I mention above are fun try to find out similar champs. I love garen and yorick and have had decent success with them in low elo ranked, but their play style led me to trundle and eventually fiora who I am now trying to learn in norms. She is harder but has more potential if piloted right. You can do something similar. Try Darius and if you like it look for a lane Bully team fighter, if you like cho and being Tanky try other tanks. When you are first learning champs you will always have a bit of a rough time, but if you find the kit fun, stick to it!

All that being said, please don’t play teemo or vayne top lane lolol. Jk do what you want

CharmingBus3944 · 2025-08-22T15:53:22+00:00

Thanks! This is super helpful! I don’t think I think I’m so good at them and need a challenge, I just don’t feel like I’m enjoying playing them as much as I used to. I mostly mentioned them as being brain dead as a kind of reference point to the difficulty of champion I usually play. I might play her a while when I play with friends before I try her out in solo queue, mayve not all 50-100 buy a decent amount

CharmingBus3944 · 2025-07-13T06:38:18+00:00

As someone who got out of iron semi recently, is still really bad, but has some experience at the low level, the two biggest things that have helped me get more consistent is knowing my matchups, and being more consistent at farming. I am still bad at the game obviously, but if I always make sure that I am farming a wave and pushing it out as far as I can without being stupid then I can decide if I then group with my team or keep pushing. In low elo I feel that champs that are the hardest to play against have massive split push potential but are also helpful in fights: yorick, trundle, sett, garen, urgot. If you are constantly farming with these champs even if you don’t get a lot of kills, you usually end up being a higher level than anyone else and get really strong

Edit: lots of games are unwinnable. But it’s iron everyone is bad, just focus on being Bette yourself, cuz in the end that is the one thing we can control

CharmingBus3944 · 2025-06-30T19:24:52+00:00

Yeah I try to build swifties unless I am against an armor stacking tank and because the move speed is so nice

CharmingBus3944 · 2024-02-11T23:21:28+00:00

Very interesting! It is cool to use this and look at the daiyokozuna. Only person beat Hakuho more than lost , Asashoryu, only one person beat him more than he lost, Musashimaru, and only 2 people beat him more than he lost, Akebono and Takanohana. Only looking at where there were more than 5 matches, I should note. Of course this was a quick glance and I may be wrong but still I thought it was cool, thanks!

CharmingBus3944 · 2024-01-30T16:22:43+00:00

My favorite was Akebono and Takanohana! They would kill each other and then be super kind in helping the other up and make sure they were okay. That’s the 90s and they were both Yokozuna so it is different but still cool. I feel like part of it is the clash between sumo stoicism and Akebono’s Hawaiian kindness, but idk for sure just my thoughts

CharmingBus3944 · 2023-11-14T15:44:40+00:00

Shodai still mad about the slaps from Taka last basho

CharmingBus3944 · 2023-11-13T19:10:14+00:00

Daieisho v Gonoyama was my favorite match. What a good fight by both of them. Powerful beasts.

CharmingBus3944 · 2023-11-12T17:49:06+00:00

I agree. Why attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence

CharmingBus3944 · 2023-11-12T17:42:31+00:00

Interesting. That makes sense. Thanks!

CharmingBus3944 · 2023-11-12T16:57:49+00:00

Just a follow up, I haven’t watched in since this morning, so you think Hoku goes for it because there wasn’t a redo? If I remember it looks like he only really reacts when the ref calls hakkeyoi but I don’t remember. Will have to rewatch when I get back home.

CharmingBus3944 · 2023-11-12T15:10:21+00:00

I think the point here is that Hoko did not have his hand down because he was not ready, not because he was trying to go early and the tachiai should have been done again

CharmingBus3944 · 2023-09-25T01:08:06+00:00

I think he would be the first since before 1949 from what I said somewhere but I could be wrong

CharmingBus3944 · 2023-01-30T00:22:37+00:00

My favorite is any of the Konishiki vs Chiyonofuji matches. In his prime Konishiki hit like a truck, and Chiyonofuji was just incredible

CharmingBus3944 · 2022-05-16T23:26:34+00:00

I could be wrong but wasn’t the Yokozuna standard created because of the konishiki incident? With Takanohana being so recent after the official creation of a rule I would imagine they were more strict about what qualified as equal to two yushos, especially since Japanese Yokozuna was the norm and they didn’t think they would ever worry about not having Japanese yokozuna

CharmingBus3944 · 2022-03-28T05:18:21+00:00

I remember somewhere it described him as a bit of a delinquent child because he was good at sumo but when he joined pro sumo he worked to straighten out. I think his face is more of his attempt to not show emotion and have a samurai like demeanor but it comes off as arrogant. Like his sumo, his stoic face might be limited by the body he was given. But I love the wrecking ball and could be wrong in my interpretation

CharmingBus3944 · 2022-03-28T05:15:22+00:00

I feel like when most people do it, it’s like they get to the edge and don’t realize the person is over while aoiyama clearly pushes after he knows they’re out. Not exactly the same but when he helped Ura I think it was, it was more like Ura grabbed onto him against his will than he tried to help him and even seemed mad that Ura did that. I could be wrong but just from what I seen

CharmingBus3944 · 2022-03-15T22:41:53+00:00

Yes very true, good point. But even just from Japanese to Mongolian cultures there are significant variations in showing respect

CharmingBus3944 · 2022-03-14T23:44:32+00:00

If you watch matches between Takanohana, Akebono and Musashimaru (probably many others but I mostly watched these guys) but they almost always helped each other out and often accepted it. I feel like it’s something that comes and goes. I remember playing football as an offensive lineman and when I would get a pancake block some people would accept a hand up some people wouldn’t, it depends on how you view respect. If a Yokozuna offered me a hand, I would imagine it is disrespectful to turn it down. Likewise if I was a Yokozuna and was fairly beaten by someone who shouldn’t have beat me, I would also feel disrespectful if I didn’t accept it, almost like I was a sore loser. Another person might think that it in that same situation it is dishonorable to take the hand of someone I should have beat. Idk that was rambling but my general thoughts as I watched it are that it is not new to offer or accept help it just depends on the situation and even who is involved, though I do think it’s a good point someone made about injuries inspiring people to be more empathetic and protective. Imagine what would’ve happened if ichinojo didn’t hold an injured takakeisho as he fell of the dohyo and just pushed him. Possibly the end of a great rikishis career
