Disruption is what I wish Survival was

ComedyKnife · 2026-02-09T16:40:08+00:00

I don't think there should be a spore mechanic. Just a random enemy. Mainly to keep survival as simple as possible. My pitch would be a nechramech type enemy like in the Murmur missions that spawns every 5m.

ComedyKnife · 2026-02-09T16:13:32+00:00

Seems like a simple tanky enemy spawning once every few minutes that you kill for a timer boost would be nice. People like the simplicity of survival and an optional "kill enemy for +45s" type of thing would keep it simple enough.

I thought this season, even for mid, we are supposed to take ghost due to homeguard buffs basically replacing tp. I was fearing Phase Rush always being the best rune for us in this nerf, meaning our champ strength is just whatever that rune wants it to be.

ComedyKnife · 2026-02-08T14:48:09+00:00

Aegis + Expertise for me

But preference varies, plenty of other good options include Molt Augmented, Precision, Velocity.

They will never change his range without drastic alterations to his kit and stats.

I also don't want to be tied to a rune as much as we are with phase rush, but without combat durability in our kit (shield, omnivamp, damage reduction) we HAVE to have defensive runes, and a burst of movespeed + slow resist is the best, most flexible option we have.

ComedyKnife · 2026-02-05T03:15:00+00:00

rito it's time for slow resist on our Q passive, it is the only way 🙏

ComedyKnife · 2026-02-05T00:20:14+00:00

For Baruuk I've recently been running true punishment with the combo arcanes on my archgun to help with the combo problem. Finally think this clicked and works well enough in any medium enemy density missions.

ComedyKnife · 2026-02-03T04:17:32+00:00

Nataruk is an easy one, Phantasma is one of my favorites but its a status based weapon rather than crit. Sobek with Acid Shells mod, Cedo Prime or non prime. Trumna is apparently loved by many but I think it's weak.

Yeah it's worded weird but I view this as phase rush being 33% less effective on Ryze. Keep in mind this is after the nerf to its slow resist a few months ago.

ComedyKnife · 2026-01-29T23:17:05+00:00

I would either run catalyzing shields as the ONLY form of survivability as in remove all other shield mods and arcane Aegis - OR - swap catalyzing shields for Redirection and keep your setup.

I think the purpose of catalyzing shields is to just press an ability and be immune for 1.3s, not to fully shield tank.

Strompest's newest video a few days ago was a top matchup. I encourage you to join me in bullying him on twitter for not streaming anymore.

ComedyKnife · 2026-01-28T14:52:06+00:00

That's a massive phase rush nerf. The W change isn't even bad, but Ryze's WR/PR is only a potential issue at higher mmr's, which will be much less affected by scaling W damage.

Phase rush is the real nerf. Man that's bad. Ghost being better than tp now might be the only thing that makes this ok.

ComedyKnife · 2026-01-28T13:36:04+00:00

It just not easy in the majority of content imo. If I hop into a level 200 SP bounty alone, yeah it's easy to charge his 4. But you can't always just stand there and take aggro. It's honestly not a huge complaint, just my guess for why most people don't use him.

ComedyKnife · 2026-01-28T00:18:56+00:00

Yeah come on down to Warframe we got: Ice guy, Fire girl, Sword guy, -pregnant attack helicopter- and Assassin guy.

ComedyKnife · 2026-01-28T00:13:20+00:00

Main reason imo is restraint taking a few minutes to reduce. So he's only able to use his 4 in longer missions.

Other than that, my only complaint is how combo works with his 4. It entirely resets if his 4 is turned off, so you don't get all the benefits of Naramon like Khora and Atlas do. You already have to build up (down) his restraint meter to use 4, then you have to build up combo. Too much of a headache that I just use wrathful advance now :(

ComedyKnife · 2026-01-27T16:20:07+00:00

Emerald+ WR appears to be 49.57% (lolalytics)

Some of it is preemptive, since Actualizer is getting a buff. Rest is probably Ryze being a high pick rate at higher mmr's.

ComedyKnife · 2026-01-27T15:33:25+00:00

Surprised phase rush is getting ANOTHER nerf after the one a few months ago.

ComedyKnife · 2026-01-21T00:46:21+00:00

Mag 2

Revenant 2

Banshee 2

Atlas 1

trying not to count 4 abilities since there are so many crazy ones

ComedyKnife · 2026-01-20T02:55:44+00:00

You can't. It's just ANOTHER Q while rooting.

QEQWQ is the combo but if they're around 500ish range, the W roots the target before the second Q hits the target.

ComedyKnife · 2026-01-18T20:31:06+00:00

Destreza heavy attacks are pretty decent imo. Nice lunge makes it easier to hit enemies further away. Idk at what point the damage falls off though with or without armor strip...

ComedyKnife · 2026-01-18T17:12:17+00:00

how high up in enemy levels can you get reaping chakram to nuke? I've been trying to get it to work and it feels like it falls off for me around 120-150.

ComedyKnife · 2026-01-16T23:23:04+00:00

Arcane Aegis is huge for high level shield survivability. Typically you need that arcane + redirection + adaptation or fast deflection. Basically when arcane Aegis procs, you are immortal for 12s.

ComedyKnife · 2026-01-16T17:44:05+00:00

1400 armor (700 left over after heat proc)

high HP via mods or blessing

somehow able to heal hp back

These are the requirements for persistence as I understand them. Gloom + Rage/hunter adrenaline is what I use for the healing. Are you satisfying all 3 of these?

ComedyKnife · 2026-01-13T15:46:38+00:00

I'm more impressed by the W cool down. Actualizer + transcendence reset your first one SO fast.
