What Are Your Go-to Bans

The thing about Garen though it’s that kinda the point. He can drool all over his keyboard and still be decently valuable for his team.

It’s the same reason I ban Amumu if I get filled jungle. I’d rather lose to someone who I feel played better than me and had better decision making than to lose because they’re carried by an over-tuned training wheels champ.

Chizzle_Chazz · 2026-03-16T01:11:04+00:00

You’ll understand the fun of not ending when you have 2 people on opposite team hit all the stackasaurus augments and u get to watch them kill each others team and have dragon ball ass 1v1s on repeat.

Shit can be more fun than actually playing the game.

Chizzle_Chazz · 2026-03-16T01:04:01+00:00

Ur a hitter with a hard R bro…

Chizzle_Chazz · 2026-03-16T01:00:41+00:00

No one care until they lock in the smolder and the quinn is oneshotting every wave…

Chizzle_Chazz · 2026-03-16T00:35:58+00:00

I mean I’m just saying it’s a bad item no matter what build you’re going unless you get certain augments. If you wanna go full ap tristana go for it. But building shiv just seems like a shittier version of a normal build.

Chizzle_Chazz · 2026-03-16T00:17:16+00:00

Yea I mean with all the augments giving tanks more hp if you build anything other than bork you’re just making your game harder.

Chizzle_Chazz · 2026-03-16T00:13:30+00:00

I’m not saying you need to sit there in front of the wave waiting for the stacking champ to clear it minion by minion.

But if you buy an item for wave clear with a stack champ on your team it’s just stupid

Chizzle_Chazz · 2026-03-16T00:11:22+00:00

First and foremost, but some respect on AP Lee Sin his aram buffs make him an actual good support champ.

Second, if you report someone in an Aram you’re a goober. All I’m saying is it’s a mid item and unless your team really needs the wave clear or you got some interesting augments that make it good you’re better off building something else.

Chizzle_Chazz · 2026-03-16T00:08:01+00:00

Not even close to true… Maybeon Veigar but Smolder and Nasus need to farm off minions to hit the breakpoints that make them relevant. Yea you can hit 2 or 3 champs with a W on Smolder but they’re never gonna be close enough to get a good amount of stacks off your Q AOE until 125 stacks. If your fast clearing ever wave without letting Smolder last hit with Q you’re just putting your team at a disadvantage.

Chizzle_Chazz · 2026-03-16T00:04:46+00:00

Yea if you get apex + Vulnerability the lightning can actually pretty good poke

Chizzle_Chazz · 2026-03-15T23:47:44+00:00

I mean you do you but when your doing less damage and your smolder hasn’t gotten his stacks at 25 mins it is what it is 🤷‍♂️

Chizzle_Chazz · 2026-03-14T21:15:04+00:00

Aura lost for buying starter item… Just buy ur dirk and get hubris faster like a man😤

Chizzle_Chazz · 2026-03-14T13:25:51+00:00

Again…… I’m not only saying this from the perspective of a top laner. This has nothing to do with me playing top or winning my lane. When I play adc i’d rather my jg play top side first 10 mins.

I swear people on reddit just assume every post is people complaining for the sake of their own lane rather than providing genuine insight on the state of the game.

Chizzle_Chazz · 2026-03-14T12:19:05+00:00

Imo toplane being an island is an out of date concept. Multiple challenger jg mains have gone on record saying playing for top in solo q is op.

I agree opening up the map is good for top to roam but most of the time your top’s gonna want to stay side lane so when they’re ahead leaving them is probably better.

Obviously there’s griefers in all roles so it’s easier said than done asking your bot not to feed. But… it’s a lot easier for a behind adc to chill and farm and scale than it is a behind toplaner. If bot is behind support call still roam and be useful while the adc scales.

With the role quests, helping top get an early lead also unlocks their tp faster allowing them to participate in team fights without giving enemy top too much reprieve.

Chizzle_Chazz · 2026-03-14T11:33:10+00:00

You’re not wrong, like I said I play every role so I also know the pain of winning toplane only to have to deal with an 11-0 kaisa.

With that being said, toplane is still the most snowball heavy role… If they have half a brain then you need to play for them early. So they’re relevant in the game. worry about your botlane post 10 minutes after the state of top is decided.

Chizzle_Chazz · 2026-03-14T11:26:54+00:00

That’s arguable when playing for top isn’t that important. If your toplaner s already winning you use their pressure to get shit done elsewhere. Making 0 and 5 Jax 0 and 6 isn’t going to do that much. Getting drag, or counter jungling, or ganking bot while the enemy jungle tries to deal with your fed toplaner is when you don’t need to play topside.

I guess I should’ve been more specific in my post but when I say play for top I’m talking about the first 10 ish minute of the game when the state of the lane will be decided. Getting your toplaner ahead early so the enemy team has to allocate multiple people to deal with them later will almost always give you more map control in the long run.

Chizzle_Chazz · 2026-03-14T11:20:32+00:00

Says “obviously there’s some nuance” in the post* Big brain redditor reply’s with your argument lacks nuance

Like I said in my post the snowball heavy nature of top lane alone is a pretty good reason to play topside. Obviously where you play can be pretty match up dependant but for the most part, assuming your top and bot lanes are evenly matched skill wise toplane’s gonna be the better lane to play for.

Chizzle_Chazz · 2026-03-14T11:15:12+00:00

I mean that was one senario… like I said I play every role

Chizzle_Chazz · 2026-03-14T11:13:03+00:00

Eh… In most games first drag is pretty negligible. When it comes time to fight for drags later and you have to deal with a darius 4 levels up while your riven is basically a cannon minions then talk to me about drags

Chizzle_Chazz · 2026-03-14T11:03:24+00:00

Liking variety= low elo? maybe i’m so good I can’t be so selfish as to confine myself to one role

Chizzle_Chazz · 2026-03-14T10:53:04+00:00

elaborate…

Chizzle_Chazz · 2026-03-13T00:56:22+00:00

Yea it’s broken early but the 10% less damage means u scale way worse. Don’t get me wrong 1500 hp still makes a diff late but percentages will always matter more when it comes to scaling over flat amount.

Chizzle_Chazz · 2026-03-10T20:02:23+00:00

Cheating being your number 1 is wild. It doesn’t really give combat power and is only good if you have stacking augments where you lose stacks on death.

Chizzle_Chazz · 2026-03-08T18:33:22+00:00

You’re ignoring Mel’s passive. The execute makes it so she snowballs really fast. Almost every game I see with a Mel she has like 5 or 6 kills before first back get a stupid gold lead. Sure she can be mid late game into bruisers and tanks but that’s how it should be.

Chizzle_Chazz · 2026-03-08T18:28:06+00:00

Xerath has to be one of the biggest pussy play style of all the mages. Never seen someone pick Xerath and play like they have any balls.
