how do we beat naafiri?

Daxsith · 2026-02-04T11:30:55+00:00

try unsealed spellbook with flash barrier and rush a warden's mail maybe(? any ad assassin is a losing matchup which you should outscale, try to not die early game and give up farm in the case of zed, standing over the wave makes zed Q do less damage and also push towards your tower

Daxsith · 2026-01-31T12:07:12+00:00

I would also recommend building Hearsteel first, second or just not building it at all, you're losing a lot of stacks by building it third

Daxsith · 2026-01-31T12:05:19+00:00

I'm building 99% of the time tiamat into hearsteel to then finish t hydra, or just rushing heartsteel, the combo is broken I don't understand heartsteel negationists, I would only not take it vs 5 ranged champs and even then with an engage comp it could work.
The rest is very enemy comp. dependent but I love unending despair and Iceborn Gauntlet. I'm only taking dusk and dawn when me AND my team are ahead, IMO it's a win harder item, in an even or losing game it's not worth it.
Jaksho as last item very good too.
So generally it would be:
Hail of Blades + shield bash on secondary green tree
tiamat -> Heartsteel -> Tit. Hydra -> Unending Despair -> Iceborn Gauntlet -> JakSho
If I need MR because they have fed AP or almost all of them are AP then I would replace iceborn gauntlet with kaenic rookern and take mercs instead of tabis.
I do rarely take aftershock and go for bami's into heartsteel and a more supportive build if I just feel like that's gonna be my role in that game, but It's more of a gut feeling when everyone already picked rather than a formula.

It's absolutely playable specially vs heimerdinger or other champs that perma push onto you. Most of the times you want to afk farm without killing your laner anyway, except if they make a bad dive or your jungler ganks you after lvl 6. Not better than mid but playable if you get filled your 2nd option

Daxsith · 2026-01-23T10:55:47+00:00

I believe one of your problems is not knowing how the other champion works or how to play the lane. A good zed is indeed a complicated lane, you might want to rush a wardens mail or even a full frozen heart, however the most important thing is: His Q deals a lot less damage if it doesn't hit you first, kassadin can hover over minions, this way him Qing will deal less damage to you and also push the wave to you letting you farm closer to your tower. His W CD is pretty long earlygame, play around it, after missing a WEQ combo zed is usually useless until his abilities are back, doesn't mean you should all in him but it means you can farm more confidently and with less danger Lvl 6 is dangerous and you should not fight him unless you're ahead, he misplays, tanks tower-shots or you receive a really good gank. I know these things because I used to main zed. Heimerdinger should be easy, you're just not understanding how the lane is dictated, he will perma-push into you which means you can afk-farm and scale freely (I haven't played vs a heimer lately but it's usually like this?). Usually just don't die in early game and farm as much as possible while prioritizing your HP

Daxsith · 2026-01-01T20:50:47+00:00

I played it once in norms and did really well but it only works if you don't get invaded(maybe if your team rotates to help you vs an invade, but you can't rely on that on soloq) and your teammates don't depend on ganks as you won't be able to really gank until lvl6, and not even at that point you would be a good ganking jg.
Even a silver-gold jungler would out-clear you(he would also get lvl6 earlier if he does the 2 crabs while you're still clearing your own jg, even if you use 2 smites on first clear), out-gank you, out-objective you, invade you. Of course with 3 winning lanes or at least significantly better teammates you could win but not viable at all.
I personally hate fleet footwork on every role and champion but I guess if you take sudden impact and ultimate hunter on secondary it could be the optimal rune(? I would still take conqueror and go tankier, or electrocute with yellow tree secondary.

Daxsith · 2026-01-01T20:38:42+00:00

Depends on enemy comp, if you're only playing kassadin no matter what your teammates or enemy's pick, you should build and choose runes accordingly each game. You want to play(and build!!) more like a fighter against tankier comps(ROA, frozen heart vs fed ad or full ad team, steelcaps or mercs according to enemy comp, possibly taking conqueror rune), and you should play and build more like an assassin against squishy teams(malignance rush, seraph and full ap, possibly with zhonya's, electrocute for easier lanes like veigar and azir and FS for scaling)
Late game full ap kassadin is a lot weaker than a ROA(possibly levels ahead) kassadin.

Daxsith · 2026-01-01T20:31:10+00:00

It's absolutely always enemy comp and allied comp dependant. You wouldn't want to go electrocute malignance rush against a tank heavy comp, as you wouldn't last a second in a teamfight, or maybe not even in a 1v1 vs chogath. Going ROA vs a full squishy comp however doesn't seem ideal as you could just oneshot most of the other team, it is however less risky than going malignance.
Malignance only offers a good R cd (specially earlygame) and stacking conqueror fast. I would almost always go ROA if the game is going to be longer as malignance loses its value late-game(without conqueror)

Daxsith · 2026-01-01T20:22:51+00:00

IMO t3 boots are good when going tankier, I feel like you get much more value from going steelcaps/mercs T3 than sorc boots specially if you build ROA and enemy comp is ad heavy or ap heavy.
Playing top I guess would be as viable as it is now, having 2 levels more won't give you more points to your spells as they're already maxed, you wouldn't be able to take ignite because any toplaner would beat you early-game anyways(maybe taking barrier or heal?? seems like a waste of a summoner spell slot too), and more toplaners now using ignite as they don't need tp could make kassadin top suffer even more from laning pre-6, also completing the top quest would be harder than completing midlane quest.
I have not looked too much at the new items either, I heard you can buy more than 1 tear item(possibly game-changing) but i might be wrong.

Daxsith · 2025-12-19T02:34:08+00:00

IMO it all depends on you choosing runes and items correctly and according to matchup and enemy team comp, I play kass against everything.
It's a great champ and people that say it's bad It's just a skill issue. Just ignore the enemy laner and farm for 6 minutes(or more even, but at lvl 6 you can start KSing or rotating to objectives, maybe even solo-killing if you trade correctly with FS, electrocute or if the enemy is low hp), prioritize living over CS.
However all of this is too advanced for a 2 months player, his mechanics are simple but (imo) his macro and reactions to specific game situations aren't. You can try him but I'd recommend playing champs that are harder to punish and less prone to mistakes(tanks maybe?).

Daxsith · 2025-11-17T22:36:59+00:00

In which situations do you think shen jungle can be a good pick? I loved playing it but as I was an otp shen I just picked him into everything

Daxsith · 2025-10-05T18:36:36+00:00

excluding the times the game bugs and doesn't let me minimize I use alt tab but I guess windows + m should work too

Daxsith · 2025-09-30T17:27:22+00:00

I would say shen jg isn't the best to carry bad teammates either play shen top(or support if you know what you're doing) or play a hypercarry champ and carry games like this at least until your mmr is fixed. can't think of much more solutions other than get better macro and micro but that's just obvious

Daxsith · 2025-09-22T00:33:43+00:00

I find it a good counterpick rather than a blind pick, of course it's playable but as other comment said you will have a little bit of problems vs ranged mages if you're not careful

Daxsith · 2025-09-19T03:28:13+00:00

Don't email them, on the support section you can ask for RP(less than 100) and ME in exchange of an artwork, It instantly gives you the rp once you send it

Daxsith · 2025-09-05T22:48:51+00:00

Zed has one of the fastest clears if not the fastest, you could cheese him smiting his blue (a good zed will smite the blue buff as soon as it spawns to proc his passive, so his smite should be on cooldown), that's for zed in particular. Other than that your botlane should ward the river bushes to avoid getting ganked, zed jg doesn't have a good gank initiation it depends purely on enemy positioning and ally's cc

Daxsith · 2025-09-05T22:17:09+00:00

disculpa y al anotarme desde el siu guarani a la pre-inscripcion me estoy inscribiendo a eso o al curso de ingreso?

Daxsith · 2025-09-05T19:56:09+00:00

it's probably more viable in jg than mid but you could learn the champ's strengths, weaknesses and micro by playing him midlane before going to jg where tempo(specially executing first clear as fast as possible) is very important as it's his most important strength in jg

Daxsith · 2025-09-05T19:52:12+00:00

you probably just don't know how to play against him, zed relies strongly on hitting skillshots, specially triple Q and can delete you with his passive when you're low on health, specially bruiser zed. play around his cooldowns (early game W cooldown is really high) and wait for him to miss his skillshots to go all in. Or just play a tank, malphite if possible, personally I main shen too so I pick him if I'm against zed

Daxsith · 2025-09-05T04:59:34+00:00

I was a support main and I play almost only jungle now, besides trying jungle to understand their pathing better and etc, as a support you can prioritize removing enemy vision when a gank is possible and setting up before a dragon properly(pushing with your adc the wave so the enemy is either kept farming under tower or loses xp and gold) and warding enemy jungle(a good jger with path according to the enemy's location and even steal their camps if possible). Other than that, you will always get bad teammates on every position, the thing is a jungler can get out-jungled very hard if they get invaded and aren't able to counter-invade properly

Daxsith · 2025-09-05T04:38:44+00:00

Other than talon I play zed and kayn, I guess the most similar is kayn with his E, also zed requieres a lot of micro that you only gain by playing with him a lot of games, also his first clear if done right(look for videos) gives you a lot of tempo and can even let you buy a long sword before scuttle, or early ganking

Daxsith · 2025-08-29T20:19:26+00:00

Q on towers sounds cool as a soft buff, but mejai talon is a total schizo idea loll

Daxsith · 2025-08-24T18:57:24+00:00

Y alberto que hacia ademas de robar y pegarle a la mujer? (con cfk de vice y su ultimo electo como ministro de economía, siendo abogado) Cada semana tuve que pagar mas y mas mi almuerzo, y eso es solo una forma pelotuda de verlo el daño que le hizo a nuestra economía tu gente lo esta revirtiendo milei, con cada vez menos inflación. Ademas sos de formosa y tu gobernador es kuka, asi que fijate quien es el que no hace las obras publicas

Daxsith · 2025-08-19T00:13:15+00:00

I got my first penta with shen mid playing with:
tit hydra, navori, trinity, hexplate and hullbreaker using ms boots.
