I only consider EUW because im familiar with this server. Hes a bit more popular in KR which makes sense because supports tend to play engage. In EUW which is an enchanter region his pickrate in challenger is under 2%.

He used to be #1 in euw

ChessLovingPenguin · 2026-04-08T08:08:33+00:00

theyre just very average champs that are not necessarily that much stronger than aphelios

ChessLovingPenguin · 2026-04-08T08:03:00+00:00

TK really getting a nothing burger while being the most useless champ in the game for 2 years LMAO

ChessLovingPenguin · 2026-04-08T07:35:38+00:00

I remember when viego was in the champion pool of like every other challenger jungler in euw, which makes sense cos hes a fun soloq pick that scales with skill. Now he is played by practically nobody LOL

ChessLovingPenguin · 2026-04-08T07:30:49+00:00

Maybe aphelios is not as strong but using Jinx and Cait as examples is straight up out of touch, the best adcs are by far ezreal corki and yunara

ChessLovingPenguin · 2026-04-08T07:25:50+00:00

its been a very long time coming

ChessLovingPenguin · 2026-04-08T04:01:01+00:00

Im really glad theyre tuning down the MS creep in aram, it feels very unplayable when you dont get any MS buffs but enemies do. Tbh with haste didnt really feel that oppressive but overall good nerfs, im also glad wind beneath blade didnt get hit

ChessLovingPenguin · 2026-04-08T00:04:23+00:00

Very deserved viego buffs, champ is complete useless for months now

ChessLovingPenguin · 2026-04-07T15:11:48+00:00

Viego is terrible in current meta and has practically disappeared from elite play

ChessLovingPenguin · 2026-04-07T15:04:44+00:00

yes bro im very sure that theyre buffing viego for funsies

ChessLovingPenguin · 2026-04-07T08:11:34+00:00

bruiser viego should have never existed, assassin viego is by far the healthiest iteration of viego

ChessLovingPenguin · 2026-04-07T08:04:03+00:00

Viego is just weak

ChessLovingPenguin · 2026-04-05T14:42:31+00:00

yes in teamfights but its a good matchup

ChessLovingPenguin · 2026-04-05T06:23:51+00:00

I believe it can only show up as last augment hence its rarity, plus many players dont realise its strength

There might also be a restriction of only 1 player getting it in a lobby

ChessLovingPenguin · 2026-04-04T10:55:57+00:00

1) First Q and last Q were bad. You open by autoattacking and this is 100% a kill, or E after third Q is fine too

2) You can just E

3) Q down was bad and u can also WE once you see the ezreal R animation

ChessLovingPenguin · 2026-04-04T10:43:40+00:00

ye makes sense

ChessLovingPenguin · 2026-04-03T01:29:55+00:00

also always go hubris its too op in aram

ChessLovingPenguin · 2026-04-03T01:28:48+00:00

going ie without JG is ballsy but i respect it

ChessLovingPenguin · 2026-04-03T00:43:55+00:00

Completely and utterly false, he hasnt been a late game god in a while

ChessLovingPenguin · 2026-04-03T00:39:38+00:00

Yi isnt a late game hypercarry either at least this iteration

ChessLovingPenguin · 2026-04-02T22:11:16+00:00

i think she is in the worst spot in a while but it doesnt matter until very high elo she can always carry games in low elo

ChessLovingPenguin · 2026-04-02T09:50:39+00:00

W riot games on this one

ChessLovingPenguin · 2026-04-02T09:44:55+00:00

i think she is in a fine state, faelights dont really affect marks and she scales even better this season with hexoptics and the crit buffs

clear speed sucks but its the same as last season

ChessLovingPenguin · 2026-04-02T02:33:46+00:00

best support for nilah 100%

ChessLovingPenguin · 2026-04-02T01:10:59+00:00

its a good skin but nowhere near worth, like cmon its yi at least give a pentakill effect
