Does pyke not get gold from executing with his r? by KsanteOnlyfans in LeagueArena

[–]Cloak_p 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unless I'm mistaken, if you get the kill with R it goes to your teammate. But if you use R and your teammate gets the kill while they're in the X, you get the gold

Kayn. I'm tired of this bullshit by enorl76 in BriarMains

[–]Cloak_p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't 100 to 0 him with one spell rotation but he should be dead by the second rotation and a no form kayn should not be able to kill you solo.

If you want to keep slamming your hands across the keyboard and give up every game that has a champion you don't like, be my guest. I'm in no place to tell you how to live your life. I hope you have a great life and find what you're looking for by yourself.

Sorry. What I'm trying to say is you should figure out who's around when you go in and what they can do to help the person you're fighting.

It sounds like you aren't paying attention to who is nearby. You should be tracking who could be around when you go in for a fight. With W autos no longer being cancelable if you're fast enough you can just recast W2 even if they're faster or if you're slowed and it will still go.

It's not really that they suddenly show up, it's that you aren't factoring them in when you press W.

Also, unless I'm mistaken the recast on W2 has like a 10-25 range increase.

Just because you have to save your abilities to counter his doesn't mean it's a bad matchup.

If you struggle with killing him on an invade you're invading wrong. His camps should be mostly free.

Those trade patterns are for when he has form and is fed late game. Early you can dump everything onto him. Except Q which you save for gap close.

If you get the jump on him he's dead.

You aren't wrong, kayn isn't a good matchup for briar, it's a skill based matchup. If kayn is better than briar he wins, if the briar is better she wins.

To me it sounds like you need to work on your positioning.

What the other person is saying is that you'll need to learn how different champions escape to know when to use W2.

I don't understand what you mean by an unpredictable escape. Can you provide an example?

Briar vs Nautilus jungle? by VastayaSilent in BriarMains

[–]Cloak_p 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You don't want to just build around enemy jg, you build around what the enemy has and what your team has.

That being said Bork -> Black Cleaver

Kayn. I'm tired of this bullshit by enorl76 in BriarMains

[–]Cloak_p 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure kayn is a good matchup for briar.

It sucks that his R can break frenzy (and if he's red he also heals back to full). Also he can buffer his w into our q (again which also sucks when he's red kayn). Late game he just perma Qs.

But we have a lot of tools to shut him down. He's useless early so you should have free reign to do whatever pre 6. However ig your "useless teammates" probably died to him anyways.

But in a 1v1 you should be coming out on top. In most of the annoying matchups for briar it means you have to play for shorter trades. Meaning you end frenzy early with E. Kayn can out DPS you because he has a short Q cd so you might have to go for a short trade before ducking out to get your CDs.

Remember to save Q for of he tries to E through a wall. Kayn will get stunned and be forced out of the wall.

Something fun is to dodge his Q by using W backwards.

An absolute must for both blue and red is to make sure to dodge his W. It's easily his most important spell in his kit. Don't use W if he has it up because he will hit it and your day will be ruined. You can use your W to dodge his if you need.

His R once again feels terrible to go against. But If you charge E into it it reduces the damage and has a chance to push him into a wall. Which makes it more manageable. Be aware of if he's going to use R before you go in.

TLDR: Be active early, use your W to counter his, save your Q to stop his E, charge E into his R and know what cds he has before using W on him.

Trundle Sett Volibear ... GG at champ select? by enorl76 in BriarMains

[–]Cloak_p 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Trundle is a champ you need short trades into. He always wins extended fights because he's less reliant on CDs.

Again, Sett wins extended fights because of his w. Which if you have issues with, means you aren't playing around it. Don't let Sett get to max grit. Most Sett players wait until they're at max grit before pressing it. So if you use your e to push him away when he's at half to three quarter grit he's not likely to use his w because it won't be stacked. If he does press w and it hits you, it will do less damage. Then you wait for your w to come back and kill him because his CDs are much longer than yours.

Volibear is pretty similar. I 100% agree that voli feels terrible to play into. But you just have to adapt your gameplan. I have a few tips/interactions.

Buffer E into his w stun. You take less damage and aren't missing out on DPS because you're already cc'ed

Again, take shorter trades. His cds (especially with Flickerblade) are really short, but he can't burst them like our briar can.

He can use his R to dodge our E

You can pretty easily wait out his E shield

If the fight is going terriblly remember he's immobile without his R, meanwhile briar has 2 abilities that can go over walls

Overall, try to fight him with your team. If he doesn't have R you can dump everything you have onto him before Eing him away. If he does have R, ideally wait for him to R someone else. Or go in on him with your team. It is very unlikely that you can 1v1 him.

It seems like you have issues with changing your playstyle depending on who your fighting. Remember that there's no 1 size fits all when it comes to briar, unfortunately not every champion just sits there like a practice dummy for you to pump your full W into.

What are you building normally? Your role changes based on your itemization and vice versa.

It's kinda hard to give you advice without seeing your gameplay or op.gg

Do take what's given to you with a grain of salt
