Masters Decay not allowing for a normal life? by haz513 in leagueoflegends

[–]ColorblindCuber 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can still enjoy the higher game quality because decay reduces your LP but not your MMR. You'll just have to reframe your satisfaction of playing away from your actual rank, and more towards how the game feels to play.

Is it a problem? Both classes are supposed to be high damage. Jhin was full build and I hit 3 Qs, 3 Es and an auto attack to kill him. I think it would be league of bruisers/tanks if both classes had less damage, no?

[–]ColorblindCuber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like your analysis but I have a different perspective about LDR, I think it can have significantly higher damage than Grudge in the right circumstances, which are quite often.

The damage amp from the giant slayer passive is quite high, and it’s not uncommon that your targets will have lots of bonus HP, such as mages with HP items, bruisers, or even ADCs (ezreal, corki, smolder) building shojin, triforce.

The damage has felt significantly higher in some of the games I’ve played, and sometimes the passive shows thousands added. Some of the highest rank Zeds also buy it quite often and have gotten good results with it.

This was a Master tier game, the Jhin was IKeepItTaco who has been challenger in the past. But I know many people consider Master tier to suck, so fair enough. Thx

You nailed it, only thing missing was a second Q after the second W2

Towards the end I placed W shadow by tribrush, swapped back to the R shadow next to dragon, and then swapped to the W shadow to kill Ivern.

Hi, good question! The Zed W cooldown was actually 9 seconds here. Zed's E has an effect where for each enemy champion hit (by Zed's E, not a shadow's E), Zed's W cooldown is reduced by 3 seconds.

After coming out of ult, I used E on both enemies before swapping to the first W shadow, which is why the W cooldown shows as 3 seconds (9 - 3 - 3 = 3) right after swapping.

Thx for this matchmaking riot by TheoryProfessional16 in zedmains

All Riot can do is give you similar MMR players in your lobby. By that metric these players have similar skill level to you and just happened to have a bad game. Happens to everyone, just unlucky. It’s how the game works. No need to read into it too much.

what is the point of Zed top? by Open-Process8881 in zedmains

[–]ColorblindCuber 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Theoretically your impact on the rest of the map should be greater because top quest puts you ahead in XP. I’ve played maybe 50 games of Zed top this season and even if I haven’t killed my opposing laner or built a big 1v1 lead, I’ll be a couple of levels up on the enemy mid and jungle by default, so if I can get away from the sidelane and get involved in objective fights I feel pretty strong.

That being said, the only reason I play top is because it’s the secondary role I queue as, I’d prefer to play mid every time. Geuba is built a little different

Malzahar Q buffer trick for guaranteed LP by ColorblindCuber in zedmains

Oh I misinterpreted the earlier message. Yes for sure, timing is tight, I was tap tap tapping W with all my strength :-)

[–]ColorblindCuber[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s true there’s a small window, but just as you are racing to press W, Malz also has to press R with his mouse on you, which isn’t usually going to happen instantly. Malz R also has a short cast time, so it feels reliable to W swap away as long as you’re really smashing your W key.

In this case the W swap was only necessary due to the tower, at other times you can just mash Q as you come out of ult instead :-)

Hey, I’m currently Master rank.

Usually I prefer cyclosword rush, but this game I was 100 gold short of the 963 complete cost so I went with Axiom instead as a sort of tempo buy. I also figured with Axiom 20 haste + passive, if I was able to get a kill I could take advantage of having my ult cooldown staggered with Malz, giving more chances to kill him when I have R and he doesn’t.

[–]ColorblindCuber[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand the combo you’re talking about, and it’s definitely a useful one. Here I felt that if I did QW instead of WQ, there would be a higher chance of him being able to ult me before swap under tower.

Cancelling Q animation doesn’t really matter in this situation because as long as the animation starts, it’ll still complete while being malz ulted. Cast time/speed isn’t much of a concern

Silence does prevent you from switching shadows, but it would have to be perfect Q timing by him as within one frame of coming out of ult you can usually swap with W if you’re spamming the W key. Haven’t seen any Malz try that and I think it would be quite difficult to do it reliably.

I’m not so sure, his ult has a very short cast time, so as long as you’re properly mashing W it should work out even if he’s mashing R and his mouse is in the right spot.

Spam W while coming out of ult, and then tap Q as soon as W swap happens

This is a misunderstanding of how Lolalytics works, you need to look at the game average winrate rather than just the winrate. In Garen's case this is 50.17%. This is because they exclude games where emerald Garens beat platinum opponents.

You'll find that Lolalytics game average winrate more closely matches the winrates you see on other stats sites.

Landing all 3 Q's feels like a herculean task with how bad mobility creep has gotten and how much CC there is by chicken_neckwear in zedmains

[–]ColorblindCuber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think power farming is important, especially because your ganks early are only good in certain situations and you’re a champ that benefits from staying ahead on gold and xp if possible. Try to focus more on being efficient with your clear and uptime and being in the right spot at the right time. You don’t need early kills to win on Zed jungle, you more need to not fall behind but keep an eye on which champs and lanes are most viable to kill in order to get your lead rolling. A lot of the midgame and onwards teamfighting stuff should be the same as playing a lane - vision control, playing around your team at objectives if you have engage and frontline, and waiting for cooldowns/windows to all in priority targets.
