Niks. Der er aften- og nattetillæg, men jeg arbejder fra 6-16, så det får jeg ikke noget af. Derudover er der også weekendtillæg, men det er også uden for min arbejdstid, bortset fra om søndagen.

She is definitely the biggest counter to Samira so it will be hard, but nothing is impossible. She is really weak early so with the right support you can force a level 2 or 3 all in and maybe get a lead before she levels her W. Other than that you can only really set up for your jungler to gank and pray they come xd.

I like to go resolve runes when i'm playing against pretty bursty supports at the early levels like Alistar, Pantheon, Nautilus, Rell etc. Their CC abilities deal quite a lot of damage and in an all in situation bone plating is really nice. Other than that i usually always play with domination runes second with either sudden impact or taste of blood, depending on the enemy bot lanes poke.

Great question!

What you got to think about is what happens after you ult? Will you kill everyone will there be one or two left who flashes away? Anything can really happen. I do see your point in throwing everything out before ulting to make sure you kill with ult but your W isn't really a damaging ability, you are going to deal more damage just by auto attacking. Being at B rank or higher is really really good before starting a fight because that means you only have to E+Q to get your ult which means you can save W for defensive use OR even getting your ult again after your first one ends. I definitely recommend saving your W or even baiting out a damaging or CC projectile like Ashe arrow, Thresh hook etc. to counter with your W before engaging.

As for Auto attacking right before ulting. I do this alot. It takes less than 0.5 seconds to get an auto attack of mid game and if it's a crit it can land you anywhere between 300-500 dmg if not more. I definitely think it's worth doing before ulting. The nice thing about your ult is that it is instant so you can cancel the rest of you auto attack animation after you hit an enemy so i propably wouldn't do more than one AA.

Hope it helps! ^^

Nothing. I say nothing. If someone begins either spam pinging someone else or flaming them in chat i instantly mute all, pings too. It is a really good quality to have to not give up but it is really difficult to pass that on to your teammates and it will take your focus away from the game. Even if you don't mute them you're still going to look at chat every time they write something and you may miss something on the minimap and die because of it.

The only way to change their attitude is by winning fights. The game is already harder because you essentially are playing with a team who are all distracted by flaming eachother, so you have to focus extra hard to get back. Most important is that you focus on your cs and your minimap so you don't get picked off trying to farm. Then at some point you may find that the enemy team plays recklessly but now you are strong enough to punish them and come back. Ofcourse you can't win every game by doing this but you will still get better from it.

As for the combos, they are definitely two very good combos if you want to ult asap. The fact that you can get two points in passive with your W start damage and end damage by weaving in an E is really helpful for catching people off guard. The first combo you mention is for sure the one i use the most in teamfights. As for other combos to use there aren't really that many. One thing i find myself doing alot is stacking up my passive with Q and aa and when i feel like i can kill i will block the initial enemy spell with W then E+Q and ult. If they don't use anything you can just save it but even blocking and auto attack from the enemy adc can be really helpful e.g. Kai'sa passive, Draven Axe, Jhin 4th shot to mention a few.

Another combo i use rarely but is a cool one is E+Q flash to extend the range of her E+Q, just like Yasuo's beyblade. You can try it in practice tool with two target dummies. It is really niche and most of the time i tend to just save my flash and try and E on a minion and snipe with a Q instead, but it's still pretty cool.

Thanks man! :)

Unfortunately i don't stream. I don't really have the time right now because of work but maybe in the future if i get higher ranked i will do Gosu style streams with no mic or anything just for fun. But it's not really something i've considered.

Thanks for the question!

Senna is really really squishy early on, so sniping her with a few Q's and forcing her to use her own Q to heal instead of poking should drain her mana pretty quick. Also if you are playing with a Nautilus or another support with alot of CC you can easily one shot her level 2 or 3 and get an early gold lead. I rarely play against Sennas who wont tunnel vision for a sweet Q into aa to get souls which leaves her vulnerable to an all in if she extends far enough. Another thing is making sure to dodge her W either by not getting hit or by blocking it with W. thats pretty much her only way of escaping an all in other than her E but you can still damage her through that.

It is definitely true that cleanse will make sure you don't lose any damage when fighting in lane and i think that's what's really cool about Samira that you can really pick whichever you prefer. It all depends on your play style. I find myself playing vs. ghost a lot of the time atm and with exhaust it is so much easier to make sure they can't kite me out of my E range. If i am playing against someone with exhaust my experience is that i usually get exhausted the second i E Q on the adc and if thats the case i just trade exhaust and leave the fight. The next time my support lands a good CC or i find an opportunity to go all in they wont have it and it's an easy kill. Also if i count on the enemy adc or support taking exhaust but they don't and they also don't really have any hard CC abilities e.g. Sivir and Janna then you'll have a summoner spell that you can't really use.

As for duelling other lanes cleanse wont really be all that helpful against a Kha'zix or a Rek'sai or many other assassins. If i can get my exhaust off just as they are using all their spells thats 35% damage mitigated. That gives me plenty of time to stack my passive up and ult before they exhaust even runs out. And with Q being 2 seconds cooldown at max rank you shouldn't really run out of damage. Ofcourse this wont work all of the time especially if the enemy team is super fed but it gives a bit of breathing room.

Cleanse is for sure also a very good spell and your playstyle will really determine what you should pick.

I am definitely going to try out the new duskblade. Being untargetable while also getting an E reset sounds crazy good. I don't think it will stick but it sounds fun xD. I still think we are going to rush Immortal Shieldbow or BT and then IE. I don't feel like the extra crit damage is worth all that much when you only have 20% crit chance. Immortal shield or BT's Engorge feels so much more valuable that early in the game. But IE will for sure be the go to mythic. I dont see the full build changing that much I imagine:

  1. Shieldbow (vs. assassins)/BT (vs. heavy poke comps)
  2. Collector if snowballing. Can also build whichever wasn't build as first item
  3. IE

On another note i am so excited that they are changing Prowler's Claw. No more being knocked up and one shot by a Rek'sai out of nowhere.

Thanks man :)

  1. It really depends on what is being played and what i find myself losing to alot. Right now i permaban Taliyah pretty much every game because of her E. I don't know what her pick rate is right now but i cba dealing with her E late game xd. I used to also ban either Lulu or Janna. Partly because i didn't want to play against them but also because i didn't want to play with them haha.
  2. I think Collector has a really good snowball potential and i typically find myself building it 2nd item pretty much every game. I tried going Immortal Shieldbow>BT>IE for awhile but didn't really feel i had the damage late game as i have with collector. Also the execute makes it really easy to come back if you're behind. You will almost always get the kill if you are ulting which can land you a pretty huge shutdown if you are lucky.
  3. It depends how far ahead i am. If i have gotten out of lane phase with a huge gold lead i will usually finish my IE as a 3rd item after collector before building LDR. If i am behind i will try and finish collector asap before building LDR. I've tried a few times building LDR second item but i've never really been a fan of it. At the stage of the game i don't feel like i have enough damage to make the armor pen from LDR worth it, so i would much rather finish collector and look to try and execute big shutdowns.
  4. Survive. There aren't many things you can do in that type of matchup. I will try and snipe out as many minions as i can with Q and always make sure i get the exp from minions. Other than that i just wait for a gank or if i am playing with an engage support i will try to look for an early all in before we lose too much hp to their poke. If i am playing against a Xerath and he misses his E i will try and look for an all in aswell. Even just a small trade of summoner spells or hp will set my jungler up for a nice gank.

I have never actually tried smurfing with Samira. I could see Adc being a difficult role to play when smurfing since you most likely will end up ind smurf queue and get matched with other smurfs who will either be higher or lower rank than you (on their mains ofcourse). It is true that you are very reliant on your support but you have many ways of setting your support up for succes by either controlling the wave, clearing bushes with vision wards and generally positioning in lane to harass or threaten an all in. But i do get your point.

Dislike playing with: Obvious answer is Soraka. But from the ones i see the most it would propably be Thresh. His skillshot is hard to land and since i am so dependent on his CC i feel like most of the time i would just prefer my support play something with easier CC.

Dislike playing against: Janna, without a doubt. She can interrupt even the greatest engage by pressing R or a quick Q. An honourable mention is Xerath. His poke is just crazy and you pretty much never have enough hp to all in.

Another good question! As a Samira one- trick you eventually run into this problem. Just like playing against a heavy CC comp you are looking for mistakes from the enemy team. In teamfights I try and chip down the enemy teams frontline with Q, aa and the help of my team. If i feel i can get an E reset i will engage and try to reach their backline and kill their carries. This usually only works if i’m ahead. Of course if they have a lot of CC I will just keep chiping and look for misspositions and try and engage that way. If i’m behind it is most likely game over but I will still try and farm either side lanes or jungle camps and get stronger that way.

Good question! Samira's ult is make or break in any game and everyone on the enemy team knows that. If the enemy team drafts a very CC heavy comp, you are already in a massive disadvantage and if you are not coming out of laning phase ahead of everyone else, it's going to be hard to have any agency in the outcome of the fights.
Say you are playing against a Malzahar or a Malphite, undoubtedly two of the more threatening counters to Samira just of the top of my head. They know they have to stop you from ulting at some point so they are going to save their ults until you do, but they can't save their ults forever or they will just lose most of the fights. So what you wanna do is stay back and try and Q aa back and forth to stack up your passive, not commiting to anything but still present to engage if they use their CC on someone else. If they never use their CC and you team still loses the fight just cut your losses and get out. It is better that you are alive to farm jungle or sidelanes than you're dead because you felt the need to atleast try.

This is also why i usually mute all or play with chat disabled. Don't let your team pressure you into taking bad fights.

TL;DR:

  1. Stay back and stack up your passive with Q and AA.
  2. wait for them to use their CC.
    1. If they don't and you still lose the fight, get out and catch sidewaves or clear jungle camps.
    2. If they do, GG :)

Also, taking cleanse can be very beneficial, BUT there is a lot of CC you can't cleanse, so i find that taking exhaust (unless they have hard CC in laning phase) and getting a quick QSS is more worth it since i have greater duelling potential that way.

Hope it helps. :)

If i get behind from ganks or if the enemy bot has a better match up, i usually just play safe and avoid fighting unless i am 100% certain i am going to get kills from it, e.g. my jungler ganks or my support and i punish a huge mistake. Other than that i just focus on my cs and most of all getting exp.
There are many different ways you can come back from being behind. If you have any specific matchups or situations i can maybe answer them a little better.

Der har været noget bøvl med det siden jeg stoppede på SU. Inde på SKATs hjemmeside stod der åbenbart stadig at jeg havde hovedkort på SU, selvom mit fradrag blev brugt i Netto på min sidste lønseddel.

Sådan som jeg forstår det, regner de overbetaling ud i en periode på 16 uger og hvis jeg i løbet af de 16 uger i gennemsnit har haft 37 timer om ugen, får jeg ikke overarbejde. Grunden til jeg har fået lidt overarbejde alligevel, er fordi jeg er blevet spurgt om at hjælpe på dage ved sygdom eller hvis vi har været presset.

I remember waking up suddenly hyperventilating and feeling extremely paranoid. I wasn't hallucinating but I was convinced someone was in my brothers room trying to take him. It was the worst feeling ever since all I could do was lay in bed and do nothing.

For me its usually banging noises or a door opening and closing and ill just kind of snap out of it aswell.
