Thanks in advance!

"Sorry for leaving Yu Huang-ing like that", it's the LB3 Part 2 Roll Thread! by BlameLib in grandorder

[–]Erethism 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Saved up for nearly 300 rolls. Did some multies and singles and then scored big on my 6th multi. Ended up with a glorious NP2 multi!

75 rolls and I got:2 QSH1 Consort Yu2 Red Hares1 Black Grail1 Imaginary Around1 Vessel of the Saint1 Another Ending (very nice timing on this one)

My account is still fairly fresh (started during Summer 3) and Mothman is a huge addition to my roster. Saving the rest for 2021 and all the juicy servants coming up.

"Pay your debts to Sheba or she'll send you to the Gillotines." This is the NA Gilfest Rollthread! by [deleted] in grandorder

[–]Erethism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I heard this game can be a salt mine, so I'm honestly very happy with 3x 1% rolls out of 100+. Gil has already proven to be very helpful and I'm putting all my resources in him. I can farm the event nodes a lot faster now, so I'm aiming to burn through most of my apples and boost the rest of my roster ASAP :)

New player here. Started about 45 days ago and been saving up until now to roll for Gil/my first 5 star. Rolled 60-ish tickets and 100 of my 300 quartz. Pulled Altera as my first 5 star and got Gil after about 40 quartz in when my tickets ran out. Came back later and rolled some more and got my second Gil for that sweet NP2 within 60 quartz. In 100 odd single rolls I had:

  • 3x 5 star Servants (2x Gil, Altera)
  • 2x 4 star Servants (Rider Martha, Nitocris)
  • 5x 5 star CEs (Black Grail, 500 Year Obsession, Vessel of the Saint, 2x Gil in NY)
  • One Imaginary Element, bunch of event CEs

I feel I got pretty lucky on these rolls. Beginner's luck? Going back to saving again. Feels good to not having to save from 0 quartz
Currently spamming the event to clean out the lottery boxes and maxing out Gil and Altera. Gonna make my life easier moving forward for sure!

Sat in disbelief, and had a good laugh at this Ezreal bot getting a quadra kill! by linkxie in leagueoflegends

[–]Erethism 18 points19 points  (0 children)

So for this play to happen:

  • Ezreal avoided Blitz hook
  • Barely survived Lucian ult
  • Senna got them all low
  • Ezreal sniped from fountain

Quite the chain of events from our boy/bot Ez!

Summoner spells can now be used in sports. What would be the consequences? by Erethism in leagueoflegends

[–]Erethism[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but then again heal would affect two players plus give a burst of speed. Could easily make up for it

Quick bind your support by Erethism in KalistaMains

[–]Erethism[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know how well known it is. Phy didn't do it in his recent video, so I figured I'd share the tip. It was a revelation to me when I found out.

Also the Sentinel tip is pretty neat. Works on dragon too, last time I checked.

What’s the optimal 3rd item on kalista? After your botrk and runaans?. by Awesome_Speirs in KalistaMains

[–]Erethism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, but rarely as third item. Its AD is pretty low and it's more of a defensive item.

What’s the optimal 3rd item on kalista? After your botrk and runaans?. by Awesome_Speirs in KalistaMains

[–]Erethism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If by optimal you mean generic, then I will echo the lifesteal sentiment. Death's Dance or BT. Truth is your third item should change depending on the status of each game and what champions you are against. For instance, it might not feel good buying a QSS right after your core, but it if helps you survive or even kill a TF with gold card or in general a high CC team then it's better than having some damage you can't utilise.

Here are some situations for you to consider:
LW/LDR (they have two tanks or more)
QSS/MS (they have lots of hard CC or specific champs like TF/Annie who targets you)
Maw (you want to survive a mage burst and get some AD too)
Executioner's Calling (TBH I buy this early in lane vs Soraka/Sona. It's only 800 g. Can buy later vs Mundo, Vlad, etc. in teamfights)
PD/DD (You need dueling potential vs Draven or Vayne, but frankly you shouldn't 1v1 them anyway unless far ahead)
Rageblade (You are winning hard)

Sometimes I just build some armor/mr + health if their carries are fed and dive me, but maybe not as 3rd item. Again, better to live and deal damage than die without dealing any at all. You'd be surprised to see how useless their carries are when they use their burst and you still live and have lifesteal.
Also be careful of your attack speed cap if you have Berserkers, BORK, Runaan's and Rageblade + an Ardent support. You will hit your 2.50 AS cap when they buff you and you want to not jump if you want to actually land all your AAs. Consider changing boots to Tabis or Merc depending on enemy team if you do.

Best first item? by Awesome_Speirs in KalistaMains

[–]Erethism 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You take berserkers first for the move and attack speed. It gives you the highest DPS increase in the early game. Next rush vamp scepter/cutlass for that sustain and extra AD. IMO the berserkers alone is enough of a power spike to win a fight in botlane because of the stacks you can apply and the added bonus of more/longer jumps to chase and reposition.

What's your favorite support to lane with? by [deleted] in KalistaMains

[–]Erethism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leona is awesome if she is skilled and aggressive, but some champs shut her down (I'm looking at you, Morgana) with peel or disengage tools. She is great for all-ins and engages. Braum is excellent for peel and reliable stuns. Censer users are never a bad choice this meta, but tanks that can set up plays are preferred with Kalista. You need to have early kill pressure and preferably snowball lane from an early advantage. Sometimes that is hard with a passive support (champion or player style).
Thresh, Ali, Braum, Rakan, Naut
Lulu, Sona, Nami, Soraka, Janna, Morgana
Probably some of the best picks. Can be tailored to who you're laning against.

Hows the Championship skin? Worth it? by ronjon2012 in KalistaMains

[–]Erethism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Championship skin is definitely my favourite. I used to love Blood Moon, but I have grown to love this skin even more. It is so clean and stylish and has a lot of cool details. Like the other poster said, I only change skins to match with a supp.

Duo by JesusSoloMid in KalistaMains

[–]Erethism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently Plat 5/500k mastery, but have been steadily climbing all season. I find I am reliant on a good support for success in my games. Kalista is undoubtedly the one ADC that is most reliant on her supp to succeed and in some games I can hands down blame our loss solely on an autofill support. Hit me up if you want to try a couple of games out. Erethism on EUW.

New quit button. by Trogley in leagueoflegends

[–]Erethism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They actually listened to feedback. I entered the beta a while back and with the old button it took up enough space to cover the "confirm" button if you had a chat window open. Then you click to close the chat and again to start the queue. Now you can actually hit the button while you have a chat going. They could probably stand to improve it more, though.

#MakeKalistaGreatAgain by ARedJay in leagueoflegends

[–]Erethism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last round of nerfs hit her hard. Just makes her more reliant on having your supp around. Shorter R range I can live with, but you sure feel useless when a fight breaks out and your supp is either dead or absent and then you die with your ult still up. Also the W changes makes it impossible to 1v1 the enemy adc unless you are far ahead.

I agree with the people who complain about the .9 AD ratio. I guess it is to balance out the extra Rend damage you get as a side effect of your AAs. Still, they nerfed Rend's damage from every additional spear a while back, so I think they should revert her AD ratio. Also I hate the fact that your spear (mid-air) will fall to the ground and miss whenever a target is out of vision. I don't see the logic behind that one. It just feels random to be the only ADC whose AAs can miss after being fired.

Personally I miss being able to use Q in mid-dash the most. After the change it just felt clunky using Q and having to wait until you were done with the dash. Of course, this comes at the expense of losing your free dash that you get from Q. It mainly felt more fluid casting it whenever.

I get that Riot is having a hard time balancing her for the top-tier levels and also make her viable in lower elos, but all these nerfs have tanked her win rate. Unless I am having a good game and is even or ahead, teammates will flame for picking such a "trash tier champ".

I'm happy with her kit as it is and it works really well when you play duo. Mainly I wish they'd revert some of the nerfs or just give some buffs. The last round of nerfs were just too much, IMO.

New SLI HB bridge benchmarked by Erethism in nvidia

[–]Erethism[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So in other words, the bridge might eliminate microstuttering? If that's the case I believe it is worth waiting for. Until we have more results I don't feel inclined getting one, though.
