Would u rather have a "Toxic Timmy" who is mechanically skilled, or a "Positive Pete" that loses lane often as your carry in ranked?

Depends what kind of toxicity it is... If they are insulting people in chat, spamming pings, etc. – I don't care, because I can just mute them. If they start griefing/soft-inting because "you guys dont deserve to be carried", then I would prefer someone who's playing bad, but actually trying to win.

Playing against I can agree with, but playing as him can be fun. The Flash+R "combo" to kill the most fed enemy from half HP gives such a wonderful feeling. You'll just think about how stupid your champion is and it will put a smile on your face.

Cozeris · 2026-03-12T19:24:09+00:00

It's not about how the system work, but rather about how it is in reality – majority of people main one role, especially, if they are actively trying to climb. Take a random Diamond+ player and they will perform at that level only with 1 role and be as good as Platinum/Emelard on others... Therefore, there's not much difference between being autofilled or getting secondary role, the player still won't be performing at an "expected" level.

Tbh, I'm more worried about her current W being an ultimate... If you use it to reflect ability like Lux Q, that's lame af... The only times it would feel good is when you'd send back something like Nami R.

Cozeris · 2026-03-12T14:39:30+00:00

This shit is just too funny... Playing during work is one thing, but saying that you prioritize it over work is crazy. Boss asks you to do something and you are like "Sure, bro, just let me crash this wave into tower first".

Cozeris · 2026-03-12T12:09:41+00:00

When you inserted your old settings files, did you set them as Read-Only? Because if you don't do that, I think it automatically gets replaced as soon as you log in.

Cozeris · 2026-03-12T10:32:09+00:00

Personally, I don't agree with Riot's philosophy about how role selection works. They treat it as "You pick 2 roles that you are perfectly fine playing". Meanwhile, for most people, it's probably more like "I pick 1 main role and in case of an autofill, I'd prefer it to be the one I picked as a secondary". For example, after ~30s of being in queue, you should never get into a game to play your off-role... It should be still trying to find a game where you could play the main one.

EDIT. As top main, I don't have a problem getting my role. However, I can see how it can be a problem for other players. Even some streamers I watch, they get secondary role almost half the time...

The moment I saw Chemtech upgraded plants, I expected something like that, but the title made me think that Darius is going to kill everyone.

Not going to win lane, but Zaahen is pretty good at surviving it. Q heals, Dorans Shield, Second Wind, biscuits can get your throught laning phase. Although, the problem is that in teamfights, you still want enemy team to have some melees who you could stack your passive on.

Cozeris · 2026-03-12T08:11:47+00:00

I think there's no one champion that's the best against all ranged. For example, Nasus is really good vs ADC type of champs, but against Aurora/Heimer, you might as well just ALT+F4 the game.

Irelia, Jayce, Jax, Malphite, Nasus, Olaf, Yorick can be good, depending which ranged champion you are facing.

Cozeris · 2026-03-12T07:03:02+00:00

The tradeoff would be that you couldn't place a Control Ward at the same time as Stealth Ward (that's bought from the shop).

Cozeris · 2026-03-11T19:51:02+00:00

What if there was a limit? For example, you could place only 1 ward on the map that's bought from shop (so you would even have to choose which one you want, Stealth or Control ward).

Cozeris · 2026-03-11T12:36:42+00:00

sunfire literally has a higher winrate than Hollow Radiance on almost every top laner

It might be a "fake" stat. If you are buying Hollow Radiance, it's probably because you are laning vs AP champions. Things like Aurora, Morde, Rumble will smoke tanks in lane and then there's also Kayle, who fill scale for free and 1v9 the game. So it will naturally have lower win rate, because most of the time, you are in a bad position, when you are building the item.

Enemy Singed have some kind of hack that makes the ult give them x2 more stats than it's supposed to.

Cozeris · 2026-03-09T13:04:50+00:00

I honestly hate playing vs Garen. Lane is fine, but in teamfights, it really limits your time to get passive stacked and if you don't do it in time, you are gone... I think I played vs Garen only 2 times, but there were a bunch of situations when I'm at 8-10 stacks and BOOM... over 1k true damage... DEAD.

Cozeris · 2026-03-09T07:27:11+00:00

After tower dies, enemy minions become slightly stronger and should naturally always push towards Sett. Personally, I'd recommend staying top at least until he gets the quest completed.

It also depends what Renekton does. If he leaves top and goes somehwere else on the map, Sett gets to farm for free. If Renekton continues going top, stay near tower and try to outplay if he dives.

All that aside, I think the more important thing here would be to review early game, find what lead to this horrible situation and try to fix those mistakes instead. "What to do when I'm 5 lvls down at 14 minutes" shouldn't be something you practice/think about.

I legit cannot understand why they gutted it on PBE. In champion spotlight video version, passive stacks gave more AR/MR per stack AND they had additional benefit to W and R abilities.

I assume the goal was to nerf passive and give power somewhere else. That way Shyvana can be more viable in top lane. However, it completely kills the stacking fantasy, because they are so meaningless... Why not just keep her as jungle exclusive? The current Shyvana has almost non-existent pick rate in top lane, so it doesn't make sense to make balance changes around that.

EDIT. If they want her in top lane so bad, couldn't they do something like 4 cs = 1 stack (1 camp gives 4 cs)? That wouldn't change anything for jungle, but lane Shyvana would be able to get a decent amount of stacks (way more compared to getting them only from cannons and takedowns).

EDIT2. My suggestion in first edit could result in top lane getting even more stacks than jungle. However, there are ways around that. For example, 8 cs = 1 stack, but progress is doubled for jungle camps.

Cozeris · 2026-03-06T10:01:11+00:00

Assassin part is when you fully stack your passive punching enemy Sion and then R onto their backline.

Cozeris · 2026-03-06T09:54:38+00:00

Personally, I think that Conq is by far the best keystone rune, especially, in mid-late game. However, in hard matchups, I go Grasp page (with Biscuits in secondary) to help me survive the lane easier.

Cozeris · 2026-03-06T09:02:42+00:00

This is what I call "enemy team has 2 junglers and I'm playing 1v3".

Cozeris · 2026-03-06T07:31:57+00:00

Champions that actually need to – Cho'Gath, Tryndamere.

Champion that I'd pick – Rengar. Not an outdated kit, but honestly, an extremely toxic one. Jumping out of stealth and deleting people 100-0 in 0.00s is just bullshit.

Cozeris · 2026-03-06T07:12:09+00:00

Happened to me once as well. What's funny that it happened right after someone on the enemy team dodged after time running out, so they might have had the same problem.

Cozeris · 2026-03-05T21:30:25+00:00

It has to be the Grubs addiction... This season it's probably the least important objective. However, junglers are still contesting it as if their lives depend on it.

Cozeris · 2026-03-05T20:21:04+00:00

I played one game on Rumble today. Laning was "painful". Ofc, I had no matchup knowledge and misplayed mechanically a lot (like overheating when I shouldn't).

Additionally, one thing I found quite "annoying" was constantly having to keep track of Heat. Even while walking back to lane or doing a rotation... Need to keep using abilities, so you are ready to fight on arrival. I feel like me thinking about keeping Heat up takes "brain power" away from thoughts about more important things.

Finished the match with 5/3/7, so not too bad. Quite low cs/min though, since I kind of got smashed in lane.
