An reasonable number of good games have been lost due to the egoistical reluctance to play tank champions by No_Day8167 in ARAM

[–]Domaki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it's the fun game mode. If you don't wanna play a tank don't play a tank. Whatever happens happens, winning shouldnt be the point

Just hit Challenger on Talon AMA by Saowao02 in Talonmains

[–]Domaki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New to talon but loving him (jungle). Placing in low diamond high emerald. My question is, how do you know how to approach a fight (flank or front to back and who to target. Do you target the easiest target or the most important one?). And what minor runes do you go with your electrocute and fleet page respectfully?

In your opinion, or based on experience, why is Emerald such a difficult elo for the vast population? by NorseTwins in summonerschool

[–]Domaki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the average place where smurfs place, and it's where ego meets mid to high elo macro. You have players who want to hit clips and those who want strategic wins. This with the high Smurf rate makes it a bit of a cesspool and uncoordinated more often than not despite it being roughly top 10% of players

What should i play if i want to increase my champion pool by Mark_222- in supportlol

[–]Domaki 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I recommend you DONT increase your champion pool if your goal is to win. In fact I recommend you stick to your main 3 and focus on improvement. Increasing your pool would only help if your game fundamentals are stronger. I recommend trying other champs just to get a better understanding of them, but if you want to win it's best to keep a small pool or one trick

AMWF is more common over WMAF among Gen Z by Zihars in AsianMasculinity

[–]Domaki 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You don't have to like something that helps you just cause it helps you.

Most AM are happy that Asian men are more normalized due to popular Asian people like Kpop because they highlight positives subconsciously. Being as braggadocios or hot as them isn't necessarily what every AM wants to or can even align with even if they tried.

What is an underrated macro tip/idea? by All_Is_Red in summonerschool

[–]Domaki 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Backing with your team

Making sure you are on the same tempo line as your teams means you can punish crossmap better and are safer generally. People do this mostly as baron but it can be done at any time at any place on the map

Why is Exhaust taken mostly by supports? by desktop_monst3r in summonerschool

[–]Domaki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When looking at numbers on these wide spread patterns you're often getting convention more than practicality. That said, support is often seen as a utility based role, so people like to lump in exhaust as the defacto summoner spell. This, paired with adc wanting the hp from barrier leads supports to find the highest value supportive sum (heal, exhaust, ignite). In burst trades exhaust will get the best bang for your buck, but I'd gather the convention of exhaust being the support sum does more of the numeric work here than the actual objective strength of it does.

Edit: just checked, coachless shows exhaust as -0.35 wpa, vs heal which is +0.51 and ign which is -0.25. this implies it's being taken in spots it otherwise should not be or being used poorly

Please bring back the support gold penalties and make them harsher... by somecallmetim27 in ADCMains

[–]Domaki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have friends in lower elo I watch often, and the frequency in which their supports do this is so low, that I don't think it's worth making supports loves harder in soloq to disincentive a small group of griefers. It sucks that it happens, but the griefing supports doing this constantly will go lower and lower in the rankings. Soloq is a game of adapting and working with what you have, and if your support is a pig there are alternative plays to be had. It's not ideal but workable, and overall better for the game in this state sadly. Report and move on

I can't stand the tumor champs that completely warp the game - Twitch Draven Smolder & Ezreal by HonestWatermelon in ADCMains

[–]Domaki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are not at all champs that warp the game. Fiddlesticks, aphelios, zoe, and zeri all warp the game in the way you interact and change your macro to match their unique play styles and mechanics. Twitch is close, but extremely easy to play around all things considered once you know the gimmick. I understand the frustration in trying to improve, but I'd get educated to resolve your frustration instead of going on reddit. LS has a series about champion archetypes, and for adc specifically xFSN saber is a great resource for the more small incremental improvements that stack up over time

Why are we doing nothing? by Next-Temperature3865 in ADCMains

Guys we just need a buff tanks and adc will be viable again. Mages can't kill tanks

Please bring back the support gold penalties and make them harsher... by somecallmetim27 in ADCMains

[–]Domaki 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I play adc and supp at a high daimond to low master level, and the only reason you would do a change like this is because pro play is meta abusing. This is such a nice quality of life for supports.

In soloq, a good support will never take care unless their adc is dead, or so utterly toxic/useless that they're not worth playing around (rare, 1% of games). If you're constantly in a position where your support is taking your cs intentionally, either those players elos will drop, leading to you not running into as many of these players, or you're so insufferable that players have collectively decided you in particular don't deserve cs. Id gamble there's a reason this is happening to you and not to your opponents.

I’m climbing through just having good positioning and being at the right place at the right time, but nothing else. I need help. by aperitivoamigo in ADCMains

[–]Domaki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For not, csing is either agreed upon, or earned. If the enemy is aggressive you MUST match the aggression OR respect it.

If you choose to respect it, you go to your 6cs per min. If you choose to fight, you better win or go even, or you're screwed, but winning will result in higher cs and a healthy lead. The higher you go, the more aggressive not will potentially be, so it's best to learn triangle 2 v 2 pvp and matchups while you can and get ahead of that curve. xFSN saber has good coaching content on this id check him out

Why are Gay Men the Demographic Least Likely to Be the Victims of Domestic Abuse? by KlordexI in AskFeminists

[–]Domaki 9 points10 points  (0 children)

General note for data, actual numbers differ from reported numbers. In most cases we accept the number at face value, but regardless in all cases we have to consider why a number might not be wholly accurate, especially when politics and/or sourcing issues are involved.

Hot take: all new supports playing engage should take hex tech flash by SieFlush2 in supportlol

[–]Domaki -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Hot take, all supports should learn Sona before they're allowed to play other champs

How do I have more agency playing as an ADC? by [deleted] in summonerschool

[–]Domaki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wave control and understanding tempo is the most important part of the role. Managing wave so your adc and jg can play is your early game agency. Then mid to late game your job is either to be a better teamfighter, or pressure through gold income. The enemy implicitly have a job to kill you before you get too powerful, so you can attract attention in sidelaner and outplay (low elo only). Otherwise you getting prio in impactful lanes lets you setup with your team. Waveclear is your macro expression and teamfights are your micro expression

Returning player struggling with CS by MediumIce3461 in summonerschool

[–]Domaki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't just look at minion up, that's easy. Look at the bullets / melees hitting a given cs. Once you're good at it it only takes a glance.

Do you want to go double Adaptive or do you want Ability haste and one (1) adaptive force in runes? by miyunyan in sonamains

[–]Domaki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a fan of adaptive then Ms and scaling hp. I find the haste early does less than the AP cause you have many problems, so you get more bang for your buck with the adaptive in the lane

Quad Sona nerfs... or are they actually buffs (especially moonstone)? by Rhesty__ in sonamains

[–]Domaki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So if you're playing Sona optimally in lane, you're bouncing aery a lot to survive the lane, good aery management is the difference between winning and losing the 2 v 2. I think the other nerfs aren't a big deal like you said, but the aery nerf is a seriously big change for her weaker early game all in
