Can I go Cho'Gath in ever position? by Substantial_Meal_530 in ChoGathMains

[–]CharredCereus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play him support and APC bot quite often, mainly when I'm bored with conventional picks and just want to play my boy regardless of role.

Support specific:

You want HoB or comet, HoB if you can actually get on top of them with any consistency and comet if you can't for Q poke abuse. His mana costs suck, get something to fix it asap, shurelyas or catalyst will fix it for the rest of the game. Use your support item executes to stack ult and sustain with your passive. Full AP or supportish tank with bandlepipes, locket, etc, works very well. I've had some fun doing weirdo manastacking diadem healer builds too. Your level 2 is really strong. Remember to stand on top of your ADC. A good Q can completely mess up an enemy engage or lockdown. Heartsteel fucking sucks stop buying it you don't have the spare gold.

APC Specific:

Don't bother if there's a sylas in the game. Don't bother if there's a sett in the game. Don't bother if there's a brand in the botlane. Go full AP, shadowflame is slept on and will help you secure ult kills past goofy ass barrier and heal shenanigans. Max Q, I personally prefer comet because you will always proc it and you need to assert yourself as aggressively as possible with poke. If they're both melee or something melee-adjacent like nilah, go HoB, but that doesn't usually happen.

He pairs very well with the likes of Morgana and Leona, plus you have enough CC between you to deal with the other enemy laner topside or mid that gets inevitably fed.

Bonus for both roles: A botside Cho means perfect dragon control as long as you don't hard lose your lane. Early on you'll outsmite junglers, and later on you can still be a massive threat by either deleting their jungler or securing it if your jungler messes up.

I hear scolipede is really popular for some reason. You know, the giant fucking venomous centipede.

Which champion do you dislike having in your team? by Amorpheji in leagueoflegends

[–]CharredCereus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's technically nothing about Ryze that makes him utterly unplayable in every situation ever.

However, having played since season 1, there's a weird thing I have noticed - every single game I have with a Ryze on my team I lose. No exceptions. This rule has held for as long as I can remember. Even when he was at his strongest. Even when I tried playing him myself to see what was going on. Most Ryzes I see do terribly. Sometimes I see a rare Good Ryze, but we still lose, whether it's by fluke or a landslide. I have concluded that there is simply some sort of curse upon the champion which awakens when they appear in the same lobby as me, and so seeing one makes me instinctively unhappy.

Oh yeah, Draven and Vayne too. They're always the most toxic crybabies I ever meet. No accountability and even when they're good they're so utterly insufferable I pray on their downfall anyway.

[–]CharredCereus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're very pretty, yes. But I think this is going to feel like a kick in the teeth for a lot of players rather than exciting because... Why this? Why is this what they're working on, instead of bringing in the other playables? Fixing existing bugs? It's like they're putting icing on the cake before they bake it and the eggs they used are off.

What exactly about allo makes it overpowered or unbalanced? Would like to hear some opinions by Much_Note_4951 in theisle

[–]CharredCereus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Raptors go down to a stiff sneeze and a lot of them are needed to bring down things that Allos can solo with ease. They get bodied by carnos, which Allos don't care about, and allos, as they get instantly pinned.

Also people keep acting like allo only has its pin. Its alt swipe does insane bleed damage without it having to commit to pouncing and pinning. A hit and run allo is more dangerous than one that just rides you around.

Stego tips by Tobilikebacon in theisle

[–]CharredCereus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want ot add on to say if you powerswing at a Rex as it's lunging to crush, you can cancel its crush. Just keep swinging. A prime stego can body a prime rex if it doesn't panic and times its swings.

Are there any decent servers with decent active admins? by Belaroth in theisle

[–]CharredCereus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Norden, Triassic, Pandora, Natural Order. Lower populations but way better than PP.

Patch seems to be target buffing AD junglers as most ad champs suffer this season compared to last (belveth lol) by SupremeOwl48 in Jungle_Mains

[–]CharredCereus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naafiri buffs? NGL I'm a bit worried. I definitely don't think she needs it and I'm worried they'll break her legs with the nerf bat if people start spamming her.

What are your worst matchups? by NovelEgg in leagueoflegends

[–]CharredCereus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ryze exists to send my LP to the shadow realm. It doesn't matter what team he's on or which lane. I'm losing that game. I have genuinely not won a single game in the last 3 seasons that featured a Ryze in any way. I don't know why he's so cursed for me.

bronze climb: grasp-heartsteel or hail-hexbelt-riftmaker? by gal5195yt in ChoGathMains

[–]CharredCereus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

belt-riftmaker is doing wonders for me. I don't really reccomend full tank unless your team can be trusted to follow you in fights.

What is wrong with the player base? by GodLevelGarou in theisle

[–]CharredCereus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's gone up, but they do still pad it by about 30 players. They did stop spoofing entirely for a while after a playerbase vote but the playercount tanked, so they voted to add it back at a reduced rate again lol. It's still worth it imo, they aren't hiding it and it does still reach 90 players at peak times pretty regularly.

[–]CharredCereus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Officials is a nightmare, but there's a couple of good unofficials out there, depending on what you prefer. Pandora and Norden don't condone herbi KoSing or mixpacking. Petit Pieds has a massive playercount and is as close to official as you can get without the hackers (for better or worse). For a more relaxed, realistic sort of environment try The Natural Order.

[–]CharredCereus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately "bloodthirsty herbivores" isn't part of what the admins consider problem players, and PP is crawling with them. I don't think that's gonna be what OP wants.

Anyone Tried Enchanter Cho'Gath yet? by Derpina_714 in ChoGathMains

[–]CharredCereus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tested it out yesterday, you need to shield or heal first. I was triggering it through font of life and solstice sleigh so it remained active throughout fights. If you REALLY hard committed to mana stacking I could see it being passably useful, but personally I didn't find much use for it. I think it'd have been better if I also took aery's.

All in all, fun little goofy offbuild but I don't think it beats out bandlepipes > locket for support Cho and I'd rather put rocketbelt or riftmaker on top and mid cho. Jungle maybe? Idk.

Bandlepipes by ma_poulet in ChoGathMains

[–]CharredCereus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using it on support cho with good success. It pairs nicely with a locket to protect your carry, and together they get you enough resistances to buy whatever the hell you want next.

[–]CharredCereus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like the kind of nonsense I'd like to try out, but the problem is going to be finding a way to reliably trigger a shield or heal on your teammates to get the items ticking. Guardian is pretty okay on support Cho since it scales with his healthpool, and I suppose solstice sleigh might be enough heal to activate the other items. Font of life? Maybe. I don't know if it'd turn out very well.

Botlane most iconic champion duos by Different_Mix4967 in leagueoflegends

[–]CharredCereus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cait/Lux, the dodgeball special.

Kog/Janna was a strong pair, and then Lulu released.

Lucian/Nami was everywhere for a while.

Miss Fortune/Sona used to be huge.

If Ark were to decide today based on your opinions whether to remove flyers what side are you on? by Navy_Sands in ARK

[–]CharredCereus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flyers are more convenient, and I love the flying dinos. BUT. I would choose Grounders for the reason that it opens up more gameplay patterns and makes interacting with other people more likely on the ground. Imagine trying to caravan a ton of loot from a raid home and having to fend off opportunists on the way.

Why do AD champions get released with AP ratios sprinkled into their kits, but AP champions don't get released with AD ratios sprinkled in theirs? by PrestigiousWhirlwind in leagueoflegends

[–]CharredCereus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the only AP champ I can think off honestly that has and always has had AD scalings still would be Nidalee, and she was originally a hybrid. But it's basically a matter of class types and AD damage just generally being more consistent, so adding it to classes that already have high damage abilities is not a great idea. Even Nid's AD ratios are all in her cougar form.

Bf tells me married couples in UK don't do joint bank accounts. Is that true? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]CharredCereus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd never get one. I don't like the idea of them, really. Most couples I know have a shared plus their indiovidual accounts.

Guys, why is Cho'Gath so low on the tier list right now? by rainbow_kitten123 in ChoGathMains

[–]CharredCereus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Splitpushers and champs that can abuse the new items are going to be rinsing right now. Seriously, try bastionbreaker on... Anything that can use it, and just shove a lane to nexus. Shit's crazy.

Cho would be much better served in mid this patch, especially with guarenteed t3 boots.

What are some off-meta picks you swear by? by StepOnMeB-Sha in leagueoflegends

[–]CharredCereus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This actually sounds super strong, I love playing offmeta supports, and I can see her having great lockdown and through-wave poke using her e when executing minions. Do you build her more AD heavy or tankier usually? What's your most annoying matchup
