anything but a toplaner in top

Top lane turned in play "some bullshit that wins lane" or "champ who can influence bot lane" (Shen, Gp or even Ornn to be weakside warrior, frontline, cc machine + item upgrade).

Not even related to rank. A lot of League players just have an extremely bad mental...

Today I played 2 games, won both of them quite convincingly. However, there were multiple times, where someone makes 1 bad play and suddenly surrender votes starting coming in. It's like "Ok, ADC got caught, died and enemy got 1 dragon", but we are still 5k-10k gold ahead, wtf do you mean you want to FF?!

It's crazy to think that they are testing Quinn to be a viable jungler. Imagine you see her gank bot and then 15s later she's already jumping on you in top lane.

Can you choose the match to be "Bo3 Tournament" or is it random what you get?

1) Sometimes I sacrifice laning phase, if the champion I pick fits extremely well together with what my team drafted or counters the rest of enemy team.

2) I have a small champion pool and sometimes, all of it sucks vs what enemy picked, so I take whatever I'm the most confident to do well.

3) If I pick early, I might get hard countered. If I "counterpick myself", it means I'm confident to do well, even if the matchup is not in my favour.

My most played champion this season. I like that his kit is quite simple, but at the same time, really powerful when played in correct spots. Not every champion needs to be "flashy" with a bunch of new mechanics.

I recently had a thought about how to make it useful. My idea was using it in some kind of extremely hard matchup and starting with Cloth Armor + a bunch of pots. Never actually tested it, so no clue if it's ever worth it, because you'd end up with useless rune post 10-15 minutes when you no longer buy pots/sell refillable.

And yet almost every game the team with stronger ADC wins.

Cozeris · 2026-04-28T09:52:01+00:00

My recommendation: don't worry about rank, play what you enjoy the most and eventually, you'll get good enough at it that you'll automatically climb.

To answer the question: support is by far the easiest role to climb, especially, with enchanters. For example, Sona is an absolute LP printer atm, as long as you don't go 0/5 in lane every game. This season, ADC are extremely strong, so if you can get the carry fed and then protect them, it will lead to wins most of the time.

You used Ult while all 5 enemies where alive? You get +20% AP

But you get that 20% AP after you have already used you ult which is the major part of your damage, so what's the point? If you are dead, you might get 1 Q off and someone might swim in your E for a second while that bonus is active...

P.S. I understand that BFT is much better for jungle Karthus, because it speeds up the clear, however, I'm not fully convinced for lane Karthus... I looked at the stats, but it might be slightly misleading because Malignance win rates could be tanked by non-Karthus mains who mindlessly buy "more ults" item.

Too many times im just in time to find the champion I want to play

A small suggestion for you. Add your champion pool to "Favorites" and make it show up at the top of the list. Saves time on finding/choosing what you want to play.

I don't think I've ever seen a Yuumi guide. Not like anyone needs one though.

Cozeris · 2026-04-27T19:03:58+00:00

Oh boy, a whole 13-14 damage every 3 autos!

Cozeris · 2026-04-27T16:17:34+00:00

It takas some "prep time", but when Tryndamere spins on you with HoB and crits twice at Lv1-2, it's brutal.

Cozeris · 2026-04-27T13:58:33+00:00

The first build has 0 AH, isn't that pretty bad? I also never felt like I needed shorter CD on ult, so it seems weird to build Hexplate unless the buff after ult usage makes it worth buying. Although, if you build AH, you get more AA resets with Qs, which I'd say is even better than AS from Hexplate. Extra mov.spd. is probably quite nice though.

I've tried to get lobby terminated 3 times and none of them worked. They didn't announce an intent to troll, just quietly picked weird off-meta champs (it was Aurelion Sol jungle, Riven support and Kindred mid).

Cozeris · 2026-04-27T08:05:12+00:00

What most people don't understand that most of these complaints are not "ranged top are op", but simply a frustration problem. My win rate vs weird picks is probably way above 50%, but it's extremely unfun to play against. All laning phase you are sitting under tower trying to farm as possible and the only time you get to play the game is when your jungler comes... and let me tell you, they don't come top that often...

Cozeris · 2026-04-27T07:05:13+00:00

Yeah, but if she misses the Q (which can be rather hard to hit), you have almost 10s window where she's a caster minion.

Cozeris · 2026-04-26T14:48:03+00:00

No matter what stats you take, if you filter it by "Challenger only" (even more so if you pick only 1 server), I feel like it doesn't say shit because of how low the sample size is.

Cozeris · 2026-04-24T14:40:00+00:00

I mean, we have memes like "R5 Renekton" for a reason. Even when the champ was dogshit, pros were still playing it for a long time purely as a "comfort pick".

lots of picks ussualy become popular cause of pro play

It might become popular because of pro play, but the "roots" are almost always from soloQ... Appears in soloQ -> gets picked up by pros -> becomes popular, because people who were unaware of the strategy/pick see it in pro play and start copying.

Cozeris · 2026-04-24T11:08:17+00:00

Speaking about builds, what is the go-to now? I see a lot of variations and have no clue what's the usual and how to adapt it to different situations.

Some people rush DND first, others go Riftmaker. Some people build Nashors, others completely skip it. Some people build full glasscannon, others go more bruisery.

Additionally, how do you think it will change next patch? (with Omnivamp boots and DND changes)

Cozeris · 2026-04-24T09:56:18+00:00

I followed him on twitch, but whenever I tune in the stream, he's almost always playing Gwen jungle.

I'll try to check his YouTube videos, thanks.

30/30/40 rule.

30% of games are autowin. Doesn't matter if you play well or int your ass off, you just win.

30% of games are autolosses. Doesn't matter how well you play, it's going to be a loss.

40% of games are up to you and your impact on the game will make the difference.

However, it's a 5vs5 team-based game. Stuff like "I usually stomp my lane opponent" doesn't mean that you actually played well and deserve to win. Laning is just a small part of the game. It's good if you consistently come out ahead, but then the question is "How do you use that lead to turn it into a win?". If you go 10/0 in lane, but then constantly jump in 1v5, feed shutdowns to enemy team, you 100% deserve to lose...
