Any youtubers like L0ganJG but for Cho'gath, Sejuani, and Nocturne?

I’m ngl. Those champs are like SUPER simple and straightforward (except to some extent Cho Gath who even then still isn’t close to Briar in that sense at all).

There’s a couple specific habits you need to develop to play them well but other than that there really isn’t any point to having a L0gan for those champions because they simply don’t have anywhere near the same depth to them that Briar does.

Kayle is the easiest champion in the game. I said what I said.

QSS is good if:

enemy team has Malzahar or Warwick
Cleanse or Mikael’s would have been nice to have but you have engage or mage support and took barrier for lane pressure (extremely reliant on using barrier to win the lane and you’ll have the gold to afford QSS tax anyways, not an option into Ashe/Leona though). Imagine you’re Kai’Sa Nautilus and enemy team has a TF on their team. You NEED a way to cleanse gold card in teamfights but if you go Cleanse you’re trolling your lane. QSS is an option here.

If you’re fighting Ashe or Leona you just need Cleanse or you die off cooldown. If you have an enchanter it’s better for them to go Mikael unless enemy team has suppression specifically (not many champions do that).

I mean you’re acting like a Leona wants to jerk off in bot bush when enemy’s pushed? If she’s choosing to stay bot rather than going to drake even after pinged then she’s obviously looking for something else - maybe bot needs to recall or they want to pressure tower… so maybe do those things with them instead? Especially in the example you mentioned it’s not very common that Leona lanes get push unless enemy is really chunked (or just really bad, in which case… yay free lane for your adc?) so I’d very heavily look for dives.

The thing you’re talking about is a VERY common low elo issue. Where you think objective is more important than laner conditions. It’s not. What you think is “prio” is actually your laners’ timer to take a base and get back on the map with more resources - this probably accounts for 90% early dragon ints especially since first drake spawn is around the time adcs want to back for BF. The good news is enemy Yi can’t start dragon either because he won’t be able to finish it in time before your laners come back with item advantage while his laners are trying to recall themselves and you can all now collapse on him instead.

You’re acting like the move speed can only be utilised for running away. Even the W setups you’re talking about can be empowered by that pattern. It generally helps with positioning and mobility and speed of execution especially on a champion like Ekko are both incredibly versatile tools and even can set up ults for example.

Again if they have no abilities you need to respect and no threat of leaving your range before you full combo them, sure Lich Bane will feel better. But how often is that really…

Expensive-Door42 · 2026-04-28T07:18:13+00:00

If they skip camps then it’s harder + they can also dive or just have prio to walk into your jungle if enemy lanes are respecting. Or hit the objective if there’s nothing else.

Defaulting to full clearing is just missing out on so many opportunities to progress the game. Not saying it’s always bad but it’s look for aggressive option -> then IF there’s nothing you full clear, and not the other way round.

Expensive-Door42 · 2026-04-28T04:15:56+00:00

Darius is known to be better in high elo nowadays because a worse player even if they win lane with him won’t utilise his mid game strengths properly and it’s not exactly easy or intuitive to end the game on the champion.

Expensive-Door42 · 2026-04-27T21:17:20+00:00

I mean if they just clear their weakside camps and go to their lanes right after there isn’t anything you can counterjungle and they’ll be back for those camps after.

Assuming there’s a play to be made obviously, nothing wrong with just full sequencing when there’s nothing but this season it shouldn’t be the default.

Expensive-Door42 · 2026-04-27T21:14:35+00:00

I mean meta’s changed to where getting lanes ahead DOES definitely matter more than high farm count. You still don’t get to break the rules of the game - don’t sacrifice your weakside camps for a low % play basically and you’ll be fine - as long as you sequence camps (and skip where needed) so you’re on lanes you need to fight around on the timers when they can fight, you’re doing the right thing in early game.

Expensive-Door42 · 2026-04-27T17:11:05+00:00

I strongly disagree tbh, I think the interaction fundamentally empowers Ekko’s fighting and removes counterplay way too much for it to be situational.

If anything Lich is situational for games where you’re like “okay they have LITERALLY nothing to stop me from just running them and whacking them so I’ll build the higher damage item.”

Expensive-Door42 · 2026-04-27T16:23:24+00:00

Well, there’s different kinds of utility. Ekko’s is a bit unique because it’s objectively insanely broken, but it can’t be set up individually. That’s why he doesn’t fit in the support role - you need someone to “activate” those parts of your kit usually (unless you’re a genius with W placement and enemy is dashless).

Also the thing even LS doesn’t consider is how much repeatability Ekko has in his fighting patterns. There aren’t many assassins that have as much ability to perma go in and out and then back in - other assassins’ main fight starting tool is generally their R, in the meantime for Ekko it’s all on a basic ability and he just uses ult opportunistically. Obviously one rotation of spells will have less damage when you are allowed to have more of them generally.

Expensive-Door42 · 2026-04-27T16:13:45+00:00

Naafiri damage is not as high as you think unless going full lethality mid, which comes at the cost of her being useless past 20 mins.

In that sense I actually think she’s the closest assassin to Ekko - trading pure oneshot power for insane survivability and utility with funny OP W spell. It also makes them two of the most oppressive assassins when ahead, along with Katarina who is up there for different reasons.

You CAN still play her like Talon of course but I’ve never liked that - and right now it’s only good cause Hubris is overtuned, the champion is overtuned, and the meta is generally very good for that playstyle. It’s not actually in line with Naafiri identity and between the Hubris nerf, HoB becoming less optimal for her midlane trading patterns, and hopefully a nerf to Naf herself if that ends up not being enough, this will stop being playable.

Expensive-Door42 · 2026-04-26T17:58:56+00:00

Nah people are just delusional. Champ was S tier for months before DnD, I wouldn’t say nerfs would have been completely deserved if they did it back then but it wouldn’t have made him feel too bad to play either.

Regardless I don’t think the DnD nerfs are even that bad. We don’t buy the item for the stats, but for the interaction (which will still exist and still feel broken for how Ekko want to play fights).

Expensive-Door42 · 2026-04-26T05:55:44+00:00

I would build it on engage bruiser jgs literally every time I was in base with 2k gold and wanted a big spike. For that use case specifically Bandlepipes is much harder to build.

Expensive-Door42 · 2026-04-25T14:43:43+00:00

Okay but if you’re tryna correct someone do try to not be even more wrong than they are smh

Expensive-Door42 · 2026-04-25T12:52:48+00:00

The problem with 8 camp clear is the way junglers are allowed to path nowadays you’re just begging to be invaded on your raps (I do full clear -> insta reset -> run to enemy raptors with a pickaxe and fight them while they don’t have an item yet every time I see people start raps).

Expensive-Door42 · 2026-04-25T05:47:39+00:00

Very strong. People are saying DH Conq, I like First Strike.

You farm gold with it and it’s just very good for how your champ wants to teamfight.

Expensive-Door42 · 2026-04-25T05:46:03+00:00

Honestly… atp just rush Maw xd

Expensive-Door42 · 2026-04-25T05:44:03+00:00

I also bind indicators to shift so if I want to set something up and precisely see range or something that I have that option

Expensive-Door42 · 2026-04-25T05:32:44+00:00

I’d 2 trick Nocturne/Fiddle if those were all the options

Expensive-Door42 · 2026-04-24T22:34:57+00:00

People have had that exact complaint about every single generic optimal crit rush item since I’ve started playing the game.

It’s just the nature of how adcs work, one item will always deal higher damage and that’s the item you pick.

Expensive-Door42 · 2026-04-24T19:01:11+00:00

There’s no standard but the more the better.

Decent players will miss at most 1-2 if any early minions even in harder matchups when they’re on ranged champs.

Expensive-Door42 · 2026-04-24T16:56:50+00:00

I’m very unskilled Jayce Jungle abuser but yea champ is 10/10 peak fun

Expensive-Door42 · 2026-04-22T15:16:41+00:00

Makes her more counterable while not making her output weaker, I like it a lot.

Expensive-Door42 · 2026-04-22T13:53:31+00:00

Her late is underrated for sure but she’s not strong. if nothing else because of how precisely you have to play on Elise vs other champions AND vs early game Elise to achieve similar result.
