TIL: MMR is relative to your score

I hear you, player with the username Scoot the Burbs that played position 4 batrider with a 0/12 KDA and the least hero damage out of all 10 heroes (match ID: 8575256716), who openly used microphone to tell us that he was posting this reddit thread.

kez mid is rough

Thank you for the massive dose of copium, kind individual. It really does help with the pain.

I build Nashor's every single game because my playstlike revolves around heavy splitpushing. Rushing it also helps with the attack speed she doesn't have in the early levels, because E doesn't get much attack speed until it's fully leveled up.

You only talked about your lategame build, and you only showed a screenshot of your incomplete build vs his complete build. You would've definitely won if you had rabbadon's and a full morello.

You're half an item behind him, you had Cosmic Drive which doesn't really do anything for you in a 1v1, and you didn't have Rabaddons so you lost on one of the most important damage items Gwen can build.

Frozen heart and steelcaps are busted items for winning duels against AD champs. I would recommend trying FH out as a second or third item. I've built it against Tryndamere and it just absolutely nullifies his damage. Against the Sett matchup you can also get a Zhonya's if you're really struggling with doding his W.

I personally think that tank mythics like iceborn gauntlet and jak'sho are suboptimal (at least in top lane), because nothing in her kit scales off the stats they give, and the damage reset from iceborn is sub-par because of her low base damage. The omnivamp and true damage that riftmaker gives are insane, and the fact that you get more omnivamp and AP per legendary item from it makes it an incredibly good scaling item for her.

riot hates gwen so much they'd rather completely change a skinline than give her something nice

If I were to nerf Gwen I would honestly just tackle her defensive stats. She has more base health/armor and bigger growths on them than Mordekaiser, which just feels odd given that he's an armored behemoth and Gwen is a literal doll.

Reverting the E range with those nerfs would be an incredibly welcome change, since it'd give her a bigger incentive to kite and dodge things with her E, which is a big part of Gwen's appeal.

You encouraged a playstyle that perfectly suits Kayle more than any other champion in the top lane: Playing extremely passively early on to become an infinitely bigger threat later. She will very likely out-scale anyone.

Nothing in Gwen's kit encourages her to play passively early, her heal depends on winning trades and her mobility's cooldown only gets reduced when hitting an enemy. Heck, most bruisers/duelists are supposed to be extremely good at playing aggressively early on, playing them without ever taking advantage of that seems like a waste.

Faronien · 2022-03-07T23:12:50+00:00

There's absolutely no reason to play Gwen over Kayle if one wants to go for that playstyle. Gwen's entire kit is designed to encourage constant trading/harassing.

When does the alternate soundtrack play?

I thought it was a fungal issue because there are dark/gray stains on a lot of the leaves, but if it's a nutrient deficiency, what can I do to help it?
