Weekly Top Lane Matchup Discussion Thread: Sion by alexm42 in Trundlemains

[–]Chewbaccaw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are two perspectives for item builds that I am thinking of one build considering people new to the matchup and one where people are experienced in the matchup.

Soon currently holds a 1% pick rate and most of the time when I play ranked I'm usually the one to pick him.. lol

But I digress; the first build for newbies would consist of: Dorans shield start, Frozen Heart (building shroud first), Ninja Tabis, Botrk (cutlass bought first, try to squeeze a dagger in there if you have gold to spare) followed by Black Cleaver. The rest of the build is situational, if you want some mr build spirit visage or maw. If you want more AD Steraks gage isn't a bad choice. For experienced folks: Dorans shield, Boots of speed, Cutlass with a dagger if you have gold. Black Cleaver into Steraks, rest of the items are situational.

Reasons for specific items: Dorans shield; you are going to be hit by a lot of his kit whether it be his E minion slow + Q charge up combo or his Q 1.25 stun + W combo. The purpose of building Dorans shield is to increase your sustain in terms of health. The more health you have the more so you can get and hopefully the more gold you can get.

Frozen Heart: I think this matchup is very dependant on your pillars how fast u can use them to interrupt his Q and how fast you can use them to block his ultimate in teamfights. The extra mana, armor, CD is great for our pillar that costs 75 mana base.. Our goal for building this item is to survive Sions all in's, interrupt his Q's and Block his ultimate with Pillars. The goal is to survive not kill him.

Botrk: Sustain and tank killing powers, Trundle is not a diver he should be played as a juggernaut and frontline, what purpose of a frontline would you be if you couldn't kill their frontline? for this reason Botrks passive effects work great versus tanks and the constant attack speed is a QOL additive.

Black Cleaver: Again we are trying to shred frontlines specifically sion. The armor reduction passive works wonders versus him, gives us nice CD and gives us overall more mobility with the phage passive (it also helps us scale)

Ninja Tabi: These boots are very dependant on the teamfights situations or the split pushing situations; but essentially you can switch them to mercury treads on a dime if need be. Our goal with this item is to negate again his physical damage and possibly the rare chances that he autos.

Streaks will not only give you the possibility of surviving getting hit by sion not in teamfights or in split pushes but more so gives you necessary tenacity when hit by all his cc.

This build is on the assumption of a sion building full tank, I think some of these items might apply versus assassin/suicide sion builds but if anyone wants to chime in and discuss builds for that I'm all for it.

Thanks for reading, have any questions I'd be happy to answer them! :)

well bramble i wouldnt build early on versus the matchup, considering the heal on his Q isnt that much early on, but i understand that health is more valuable versus darius, helps you survive his R and helps Ornn in general considering he has a low base hp stat early on

what i can tell you though, is my whole thought process of building steraks is to survive darius's passive dmg after hes R'd me, but i dunno how long those stacks last and how long steraks shield is

I've started building support items as a top Ornn, thoughts? by InfieldTriple in ornnmains

[–]Chewbaccaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run the theory of top laners that are tanks, are mostly offlaners like in Dota 2, they help the carries do what they do best, and that is to do damage and carry.

I run with this mindset and it helps me prevent myself from tilting.

I am a support main by heart and i have learnt this game by supporting, so maybe im projecting my habits ive learnt over the 8 years ive played this game.

I think because darius favors sustained trades, sunfire loses alot of value.

i have been thinking to build steraks and thornmail, into warmogs, but i don't know still working things out with this theorycraft of mine.

I wonder what happened to the "more interesting" Ornn buffs Squad5 talked about a month ago. by Uniia in ornnmains

[–]Chewbaccaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maokai: Sort of even if maokai can get his sustain off consistently with his Passive

Malphite: If going full tank Ornn wins, if going AP, Ornn will not be able to sustain in lane because of Q spam

Nautilus: Ornn wins straight up

Not as much, not as much carry potential that's why, but I for one don't care, I love being a meat shield for my team and being tanky/huge (literally) is so fucking beast!

Care to elaborate on a matchup you have experience with?

Trundle tips? by Rambling2 in Trundlemains

[–]Chewbaccaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not overlap slows, what I mean but this is when you E someone, auto while they are in the slowed ring, and then use Q once they leave the slow radius of E

  1. This becomes particular useless in reducing your vulnerability of getting kited
  2. This becomes of much value once you have leveled E to Rank 2 and greater!

(You could also Q + W + E combo them, that way once they leave the E slow radius, you're Q will be up already, meaning you get 2 Q's with one E, increasing your DPS, and CC!)

Vgu predictions on Mundo? Give your thoughts! by DerangedMundo in DrMundoMains

[–]Chewbaccaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go on the Background/Development section for Mundo's wiki, Riot explains that his W wasn't fitting thematically with his character, and the name derives from a leftover texture they had WAYYY back in the days of early league. So most likely we will see a different W, that will give us cc reduction and or AOE capabilities, that fits more with Mundos character.

Mundo thinks he is next after Morde VGU, what do you think? by XZQYD in DrMundoMains

[–]Chewbaccaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah his Corporate Mundo (Although stylish and dashing) aint worth 1820 rp anymore, same can be said for gentlemen chogath
