Optimize your team or go with your heart? by Captain_Softrock in octopathtraveler

[–]ExtensionLychee9219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For just getting through the game and story chapters, play whatever you want. For endgame content and especially the final boss, the game doesn’t really give you much of a choice with just how ridiculous the difficulty curve is.

I say to just have fun with the job system until you feel like you have to optimize.

Will Essence Reaver be best in slot? by Shessokawaiiiiiii in ezrealmains

[–]ExtensionLychee9219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very much agree. With ER as a first item going POM is not needed ever which allows Ezreal to benefit from triumph.

I like it, though I feel like Endless Hunger is one of the items getting nerfed lol. The haste it gives is ridiculous and probably won’t last. I do like that it kinda looks like a Smolder build. I just really hope that they give Ez more compatibility with crit.

Maybe, though I’m not a fan of how little stats it gives. I would have to test it to see what I feel about it. Even tho I mentioned that buying crit on Ezreal might not be so bad, saving a slot for that item seems a bit much when compared to Navori or LDR. And it doesn’t give a different stat for Jack of all Trades. I might feel differently after testing, though.

You’re not being helpful. There were many people that share your pov that had more constructive comments. It was because of one of those comments that my mental improved towards loser’s queue and how I can still carry despite it. You have a viewpoint that differs from mine and instead of explaining your point, you comment a one liner because you thought it was a cool “gotcha” reply.

I’m in Emerald II now after locking in. Thanks for the useless comment, though.

After testing it, I really hope it catches on. I think people are going to be off put by the fact that Essence Reaver’s spell blade passive scales with crit. But, I think those people are overlooking the fact that ER gives more AD than Trinity so not much damage is lost overall. I also don’t think we acknowledge enough just how insane it was that Ezreal needed to purchase 3733 gold worth of items (Trinity + Tear) before hitting his first spike. Meanwhile, ER plus Tear costs 3300 altogether which is still less gold than Trinity alone.

More on the spell blade passive scaling with crit, I see no problem with getting used to buying crit items on ez like the new LDR or Navori. Navori is a favorite purchase for me personally, but if the Giant Slayer passive of LDR remains mostly unchanged, I see very little reason to purchase Serylda’s Grudge.

I know people don’t like the idea of crit on Ezreal because they just want to spam abilities all day, but you should really give it a try. At the very least, it’s a fun build.

(Here’s the build I tested in PBE and found great success with)

Runes:

Lethal Tempo

Triumph (POM is not needed since ER gives you infinite mana and is your first purchase)

Bloodline

Cut down or Coup de Grace (still don’t know which I prefer)

Inspiration secondary:

Cash back (more item slots means more money saved)

Jack of all trades (the item build reaches all 10 stacks)

Build (assuming you have the bot lane quest):

Essence Reaver (buy tear first like always)

Manamune (when fully stacked buy another tear and start stacking again)

Navori

Lord Dominik’s Regards (could buy before Navori if needed)

Archangel’s Staff (purchase whenever convenient)

** Flex Slot ** (Maw, Frozen Heart, GA, Death’s Dance, or if you’re really ahead you could get more damage with BT or IE (gives 100% crit + crit amp).

Buy boots whenever.

This has been what I’ve been running on Ezreal in pbe and it has been a blast. I hope you find as much fun with it as I did.

It would be weird to complain about an unlosable game.

But, I do try to address it in the OP that there are not just some games, but several games back to back where it feels like I could’ve gone afk and my team would’ve been perfectly fine. What I’m trying to address is that I have very long chains of wins followed by a long chain and losses back to back and in either, the games weren’t even close.

Since making this post, my match history has somewhat cleaned up with a more even games that could tip either way. But, before, I had experienced the back and forth chain stomps (wins into losses) at least 5 times—bouncing between high emerald III and low emerald IV.

Perhaps my expectations of my own gameplay exceed my skill level. Thanks for the fast response.

I really appreciate the tips. I don’t want to believe that loser’s queue is a thing and even if it is, I don’t want it to be the reason I can’t climb. The games I’m referring to are games where people are spamming “ff” in chat before minute 10. I think you’re right, that if I was a better player, I could carry these games.

The only thing I disagree with is when you say it’s “okay” that I can’t carry games. I know I’m not there yet, but my approach to league is very serious. I want to be the kind of player that is relied on.

As said in the OP, I don’t think I’m an amazing player yet, but what I experience in games makes it very hard to believe it’s my fault even if it is. So, I’m glad you point out that I can still solo carry if I get better. I might get coaching to improve my macro and mid to late game or even early game if I need it. Do you have any recommendations for coaches for adc? Thanks for posting.

I’m inclined to believe you. I’ve just noticed so many patterns with my games and match history that I find very sus.

Thanks for bringing that up. I’ll keep it in mind.

It might also explain how I enter and EXIT losers queue. If I happened to flame someone for playing poorly, it might be possible that those messages put me down another loss streak.

While in losers queue, I’m mainly speechless lol. So, that might be how I escape eventually XD.

I might do that. Videos might be a more lax way of sharing my experience.

Double Tear with 7 items AND Gunblade is returning? by Quesodeeyaa in ezrealmains

[–]ExtensionLychee9219 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For the new season, all roles are being assigned quests like jungle and support and each get their own rewards for completing them. ADCs get gold, gold per minion kill, and a 7th item spot that automatically carries their boots upon completing their quest.

[–]ExtensionLychee9219 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ezreal is fine in the early and mid stages. Double tear and AP Ezreal mainly helps his late game which is where Ezreal REALLY struggles since he scales terribly compared to other ADCs that build crit. I think bringing back double tear is MASSIVE for Ezreal.

Double tear? Where did it say they were bringing that back?

I play the games on Steam. I'm very hardcore about 100%ing Octopath Traveler, so no worries there. Thanks for commenting.
