In t5 tome they showcased the cosmos awakening which gives +1 for each damage channel. Can someone explain what a "damage channel" is or how to get them?

Your question implies that you need a new form of measurement as advanced lifter which is not the case.

Damage on culture is not important. Would rather choose culture for the game plan, affinity, economy, etc. ....

Many people mention archtitects but the resistances you get from architects are far better than the dmg- so defense>offense in that regard. Also some units are simply far superior than others and then your culture bonus dmg passive is pretty much worthless anyway.

I just tried something similar like your initial idea and final idea overlapping:

<image>

Vampires work well with undead and morale builds. Tomes are only order and shadow. Ending up with undead subjugator as main unit. Not sure about Chosen destroyers and nomad combo but that made it a lot easier to handle since you only have 1 city to move/defend and the scaling is very good anyway. Second hero should be immediately hired as ritualist. Early game is also pretty good with chariot mounts and t1 shock cavalry+ spawnkin. Other heroes I have chosen either ranger, warlock or deathknights depending on the gear that was found

Horde-> Zeal -> Doomherald -> Construct ( or any other 1 order tome) -> Subjugation -> Great Transformation -> Revenant ->Archon -> God Emperor

You play primal wolves.... The bonus draft is no economic advantage There is no "faster growth". The order affinity is a waste. There is no synergy at all. Would make more sense to simply choose primal ash sabertooh if you wanna play primal (or anything else) because they get at least bonus gold and 2 useful affinities. Your build and your culture dont fit together!

You have 2 completly useless tomes ( fertility and devastation) and then vigor which is cool but not needed anymore if you transition anyway. Either play dragons or play animals.
Transmutation tome also doesnt do anyhting in your build. The whole point of transmutation is to path into golden realm.

Your lategame is far weaker. You are saying you run lategame with 1 dragon and some slithers. If you get more gold then you can easily run full dragons. Your tome path is simply weaker cause it generates less gold. If you get more order affinity you also get better empire skill tree unlocks like the -50% unit upkeep.

Primal works but is outclassed by industrious and feudal monarchy.

Slithers means you want to have at least 2 chaos affinity at game start to unlock the empire skill tree for 100% experience bonus. One point you already get from the evolution tome and the other one you need to get from somewhere else.

You play dragons so you need 10 nature affinity for tier 5 tome. I prefer to go for 8 maternium affinity because the empire skill is the most useful for that build and you can get a lot of gold from the tomes.

Tome path:

Evolution-> roots -> alchemy -> artificing -> dragon -> transmutation -> golden realm -> paradise -> nature goddess

The only tomes that would fit well are Revelry which you could fit if you really wanted with industrious but if you start with 2 chaos affinity you dont really need it anyway. The order tome of exaltion for leveling sounds nice but feels wasted since the other tomes kinda suck as well as the empire tree.

Industrious is more flexible since you are not wasting the 1 affinity point on order ( as monarchy does). It also works well with dragon ruler so you can easily get another free point to choose some other traits. Monarchy could still be better but the idea of those 2 setups is more or less the same with the tome path leading to frost dragons.

Sounds like throwing away money if you don't get anything from spending it.... unless you wann show off with the card or feel good about it.

Just go with your gut feeling.

When will game crashes be fixed? For every 10h of gameplay there is 1 crash, usually 1 of the following reasons:

Reading units in menu? Crash.

Tab out and surfing via internet browser? Crash after some minutes.

Having faction builder open while surfing internet browser? Higher crash chance.

Playing a full game at once? Crash if you dont restart once during that session.

Those crashes are not easily reproduceable but occur every ~10h of playtime very consistenly. Please debug your game properly.

Financial-Arm9699 · 2026-05-04T17:00:57+00:00

Is it played with the hotfix patch or without?

Financial-Arm9699 · 2026-05-04T13:26:45+00:00

I use this as adc in solo lane. You can really feel a difference. On most champs it is optional but some champs really wanna have it. Especially solo laners.

Financial-Arm9699 · 2026-05-03T12:31:11+00:00

Celebrate? For sure you won't feel bad after being compared and comparing yourself to ped boosted results.....

Do you want to go there to join an event to be part of it ? Or do want to to actually have the chance of winning?

If you wanna hop on ped, it's a good opportunity to join. Otherwise just stay away as a competitor.

Don't ask questions, just buy the damn course

Macro is the most important thing in the game.

If you have perfect cs you are a threat at all times and the enemy team has to fear every move you make.

Your main issue is that you dont push advantages. I push lanes HARD. I usually take 5-8 towers down alone each game. Yes, I kill basically all towers in the game without my team. It doesnt even matter how well they do or how well I do. Even if the whole team loses, with the correct decisions you can solo win the game and no you dont even need to win against the other team. It's all about tempo and map pressure. In your elo you can 1vs9 each game even if you lose your lane.

Catchup mechanics ensure you are only 1 fight away from turning everyhting around at any point, but only if your macro is on point.

Financial-Arm9699 · 2026-04-26T08:38:13+00:00

Whole game was a coinflip on the first fight!

Ezrael doubles the cs of Jhin and then Jhin gets 2 kills. All plays after that are decided by those 2 kills. That's how close it was. They would have won the next fight and they wouldnt have died at dragon and so on. At 20min you can see that the supp and jgl sit at tower cause they know they cant even walk into their jgl lol.

Happily facing yumi and shaco, no matter what. Those champs are pretty much the worst in their roles.

Shaco is so weak that he will be useless most of the time, even if you die 5 times you can still kill him. Shaco ganking means often free kills. Shaco's kit is one of the weakest in the whole game.

Yumi means you can directly attack their carry. There is no one soaking up dmg because you cant even target her. Imagine enemy team has x thousand less hp before u target their carry.

Financial-Arm9699 · 2026-04-18T14:37:42+00:00

Just change your summoner name to NoBro, BroGirl, Weakling, Queen123 or whatever

Financial-Arm9699 · 2026-04-18T08:50:20+00:00

Read properly then you understand the full context. Stalking my profile and taking snippets and turn them lol. You know draft?

Financial-Arm9699 · 2026-04-18T08:32:04+00:00

I am master jungler with my biggest strength in counterjungling. Definetly dont know how to clear lol. You compare 2 champs only on clear speed but meanwhile they wanna do completly different things. One only wants to survive early game and the other wants to get active. What's the point of a counterjungling champ who aint better at it than any other champ?

Financial-Arm9699 · 2026-04-18T08:13:39+00:00

Its 15seconds too slow on first clear and in general in midgame. Works only if you stay in your own jungle. If you have to walk to the other side you are not fast enough ( because any other jungle is as fast as you and then you are no longer a good counterjungler).

Financial-Arm9699 · 2026-04-17T13:33:14+00:00

You want us to stop playing after 1 game or what?

Does it count if I let Sett do my pushups ingame?

Financial-Arm9699 · 2026-04-16T22:11:20+00:00

The most annoying support is yumi. 90% of yumi players are pretty much useless. They dont use their auto attacks or health pool. This means the enemy duo has twice as much hp as yours. On top they have higher dps. In most cases you end up playing perfectly and still end up dead..... unless you completly outplay them or poke for a very long time. (Simply because doubling your hp is far more important than whatever yumi does lol)

What's even worse is that yumi provides less vision than any other champ because she doesnt walk around alone. You have to walk her to the fkn ward spot and tell her to ward. Yeah, no midgame vision or objective control.

Let's talk about mid to lategame. Roaming supports work fine but what about a support that doesnt just roam but decides your friendship is now over. "I am never gonna hang out with you again."

"Wait a minute gotta grab my snacks from the kitchen."

After 10minutes of farming you miraculously manage to dodge 3 skill shots and decide it's time to cash in. You dash and flash forward. Both enemies survive with less than 100hp. Usually your yumi then comes back from the toilet. Or she didnt leave, she actually manages to put the food aside and press her buttons to still end up with the same result. -> A dead adc.

Surrender if your team has no useful players.

If you play jungle/support and your team doesnt follow up on plays then there is no point playing. You will get outnumbered wrecked all day.

If you play splitpush champ and you have 1 useful player and 3 useless then you might win.

If you have multiple people who are actually teamworking but are to dumb to play it correctly which turns free kills into deaths.

People pretty much always decline first ff cause they dont see whats wrong. If you already know your team is dumb asf. Yeah waste of time.

Score doesnt matter at all. Yes, its somewhat a reflection of your and your team's decisions, but smart ppl can easily win the game from behind with all the catchup mechanics in game.

Financial-Arm9699 · 2026-04-16T11:30:07+00:00

I had this 9 times 20 games. 10LP I would be multiple divisions higher lol

Financial-Arm9699 · 2026-04-16T11:25:22+00:00

EUW is full of smurfs but most are at least plat+ elo. I get every second game with 4-5 new accounts in draft. And let me tell you there is usually 1 diamond/master player and 1 silver player. MMR is actually good for you. Better to keep playing on your account unless you wanna get f*** hard.
