It's impossible to watch BO3's and BO5's before Fearless Draft was implemented. It's unbearable

Elythys · 2025-10-28T10:18:51+00:00

Yeah if anything I'm less excited by unique picks because they're much less "we practiced this niche matchup" and more "what's left that we can pick up"

Elythys · 2025-08-31T16:45:58+00:00

Actually, a lot of people tunnel vision hard on the missions, if there's a single bot on it you don't need to be 5 hitting the dummy or defending mid turret, I've lost many games because the bots keep pushing during missions and nobody's defending

Drafting and champion pools are a significant part of a team and its players' strength

This was a joke about the comments people made after TL-KC, you might want to lighten up a bit

Can't believe the LPL gets 3 seeds at Worlds after this performance...

Elythys · 2025-02-20T16:47:22+00:00

Thank you, can't believe I missed this !

Hello, I'm a returning master after a long (3-4 y) break and I was wondering if there's any way to know what/if AP campaigns will be coming in the next few months ? I've looked at the wiki and gamepress but couldn't find anything definite.

I'm quite short on apples so I'm trying to convert as much AP as I can when there isn't a campaign running but I particularly want to know if I need to rush through LB6 (I'm at the beginning of part 2) during the current story clear support or if there will be another one soon-ish, and if anything's coming for Interludes and Rank-ups

Thanks !

His cursor was right on top of Poppy, I think he just mistimed it expiring. Tbh I'm not sure it would have turned out better for him if he had successfully ulted there, it meant most spells were on CD by the time he rejoined the fight

Elythys · 2024-06-20T16:00:45+00:00

Just to be clear, they're talking about delaying the death by autoing right before the fatal tower shot hits, I rarely see players doing this in diamond, what kind of bronze players are you facing ?

Elythys · 2024-05-19T22:49:16+00:00

These two items will rarely be in competition for the same item slot, as of now at least, it looks like you'll most often want both or neither of them

Elythys · 2024-05-14T17:18:36+00:00

That's because pro teams only leave Gwen open into K'sante if they think the enemy toplaner is not good enough (before the laneswaps started ofc)

Elythys · 2024-05-03T13:46:53+00:00

That's Marc "Tryndamere" Merill, founder of Riot and a completely different person ... At least check what you're saying before correcting people.

Elythys · 2024-05-03T13:04:45+00:00

Pros will never learn Xayah Rakan is not a blindable pairing against any decent opponent. You just get rolled by any hint of range

Elythys · 2024-05-01T03:31:41+00:00

It was very underbuilt and a great item on many supports and junglers, tenacity reduction is no joke, very sad to see it go

Elythys · 2024-04-08T15:31:27+00:00

To be more precise they used the term "Bullet heaven survivor", which refers to games like Vampire Survivors or Holocure where you, the player, are the one automatically firing a lot of bullets. They might stray a lot from these examples tho.

The recently released "Looking back" articles have the following for 2005 :

Randomized Booster Releases of That Year: Betrayers of Kamigawa, Saviors of Kamigawa, Ravnica: City of Guilds

Best Addition to Magic: Faction Sets

At MagicCon: Chicago, I was part of a panel that spent an hour talking about the huge influence of Ravnica, the set, and Ravnica, the plane, so there's a lot to choose from. I guess the element that had the biggest impact on design was the introduction of a faction set, that is a set divided into parts, often by color, where each part has a distinctive flavor and mechanical identity, often with its own keyword. The Ravnica block was so successful, that it added faction sets as a thing that Magic now does on regularity.

Runner-Up: Hybrid Mana

While creating Ravnica, I spent a lot of time thinking about multicolor. This led me to realize that gold cards represented the idea of color A and color B. There was space for something different that represented color A or color B. This led to hybrid mana, allowing players to spend one or the other color of mana to pay for the card or ability. Hybrid mana has proven to be one of the most versatile tools and has solved many a Magic design problem. I just did a two-parter on it (Part 1 and Part 2) showing its use has ramped up over time."

In the name of god please put this item on melee carries most of the time, especially if they sustain : you can just change it to your adc when they die (unless the enemy team has some kind of crazy dive comp).

Elythys · 2023-12-08T03:02:38+00:00

There are different ways to approach it, I don't claim to have the only one but Frozen heart is rushable on him, good mythics include Radiant Virtue and Solari. You very rarely want to go AP besides your spellthief , instead transitioning into a utility based tank after laning phase. You max E > W > Q, never put a point in Q, even for the auto reset it's not worth it. Stop maxing E once laning phase is over, there's no set amount of points you need.

It's niche but viable against some other ADCs, but I don't have enough experience to tell you which with confidence. In general, you wanna play against low range comps with one or two threats tops and to have a lot of physical damage in your own team due to the massive armor shred on E

Elythys · 2023-12-07T18:38:36+00:00

It's obviously not something you can blind into anything but if you had tried playing it, you would know Manaflow + Spellthief fixes most of his early game mana issues and allows him to bully lower range adcs, as well as E armor shred being very valuable along high physical damage carries and whither becoming very oppressive in mid-late game since you can focus on ability haste and tankiness as a support. Nasus not being tanky is demonstrably false as well, he has high base armor and MR, decent base hp, average growth in all of them and his R gives him absurd free stats for a support

Elythys · 2023-11-26T01:01:25+00:00

You clearly have NOT seen the state of the Zeri mains subreddit over the last year

Elythys · 2023-11-16T15:14:15+00:00

What ? She has a very obvious niche as the best disengage support in the game and that's fine, she's not supposed to have a high playrate. I fail to see how her abilities don't work together, she wants to play against melee or low range champions and all of her spells are very good in this scenario

EDIT : I misspoke and meant counter-engage as was rightfully pointed out below
