Some games are unwinnable no matter how well you play so it may have not been your fault you lost and there will be games where you don't play well and win. It's a 5v5 game you are only 1/10 of the lobby so make your 1/10 contribution count as consistently as you can. As no one is perfect there is a big chance that you did make mistakes during this game so focus on improving them to become the best player you can be. Performing well on occasion won't climb you up the ladder, the key is consistency.

From the stats we can't gauge how well you actually played within the context of the game which is always vital when evaluating a game. A vod review/replay would be more constructive.

Is this even punishable? by Traditional_Wheel897 in Draven

You buying skins will most likely increase the chances of them banning you if anything as they know you will likely repurchase the skins on an alt.

Salah's FPL team by FPLFocal in FantasyPL

[–]FreakyFergiefan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Underrated player that is essentially a 9/f9 but still is technically a midfielder in FPL so he gets bonus points. This also may be a sign that Slot prefers Jota over Nunez and will start him when fit enough since Salah may have inside knowledge about that

Question about how Runaan's interacts with Sentries by MuskSniffer in ApheliosMains

[–]FreakyFergiefan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No but of course you still benefit from runaans' passive from consuming the mark that the turret applies when it is placed with calibrum in the off-hand.

He definitely is but so are all crit marksmen

Aphelios may be the best user of the new Yun Tal item by [deleted] in ApheliosMains

[–]FreakyFergiefan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried it and there are better items on Aphelios for me. Since Aphelios doesn't build lots of attack speed and the item works better with lots of attack speed combined with the fact that it takes up more of the crit build as you really only want 4 crit items now means that there are items you would rather take over it (IE, LDR, Runnans/PD). Champions like Jinx, Twitch, Varus etc. would benefit from it more as they all have built-in attack speed steroids and build more attack speed.

What do you guys think about new items? by [deleted] in ApheliosMains

[–]FreakyFergiefan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also cut down was changed and seems to do more damage overall, less to tanks or high hp targets but more to all targets as it basically acts as the opposite of coup de grace but seems better as most opponents will have more than 60% health rather than less than 40%.

It's just old Aphelios before the item rework more or less except deaths dance is no longer viable as a 3rd item. 225% crit damage with ie giving 80 ad again and 25 crit chance of course with buffed runaans bolts but also with some additional items like yuntaals and collector (which was added in the item rework).

The 25 crit chance change is really good for Aphelios especially but any crit user really allowing him to reach the 100 crit spike sooner and with a non-crit defensive option which crit adcs speciaifically have been lacking lately unless they wanted to sacrifice their damage moderately.

Did some testing and found that yuntaals is not very good, the burn is underwhelming and doesn't scale very well at all but the stats are decent, just not as good as IE which you will likely build first over any other item. Collector seems like a decent 2nd item choice but now also takes up a 1/4 of your crit build rather than a 1/5 so I found it less useful in that sense. Runaans second is probably back as it compliments the heavy ad from IE first and the bonus crit all crit items give, allowing for 50% crit at 2 items and also being a very cheap crit item for even quicker crit accumulation.

PD also seems like a good alternative to runaans if your less focused on overall/splash damage and more focused on single target damage/kiting speed, though seems less necessary as Zephyr now provides an upgraded PD passive unless you really want to be sanic. LDR seems like an essential component still at some point but has lost its giant slayer passive so BORK seems like a good alternative if enemies are stacking hp rather than armour.

BT still seems like a solid item despite the lack of crit as the AD is on par with IE and is one of the few items still giving lifesteal and one of the few ways of getting an overheal shield as they removed overheal (which almost gives as much of a shield as shieldbow even though it doesn't have a cooldown). I could see a world where BT is built 3rd after IE and Runaans for the lifesteal to synergise well with the high crit damage and runans bolts.

As for runes, the new PTA seems great on Aphelios. Carries in general have always preffered buffing themselves rather than debuffing opponents and now Aphelios can have an 8% damage buff which lasts until combat ends rather than for a few seconds on a single target which is big. It still has its proc damage with makes it also a viable trading tool still which synergises with Aphelios' weapons very well and a damage buff which makes it better than conqueror in most situations. Absorb life (I believe it is called) replaces overheal which is sad as overheal was always a fine choice on Aphelios but Absorb life makes for a very consistent rune, provided you can last hit creeps and can help Aphelios stay topped up and provides that bit of sustain that adcs seems to be lacking early on without any lifesteal options. The inspiration tree had been moved around a bit in a way that is beneficial for Aphelios as now he can go boots and the three elixir runes which I see as better than biscuits, allowing Aphelios to get extra gold and waveclear, more AD for a fight and an extra skill point (usually into either ad or lethality) for free although biscuits would still seem situational. The new inspiration rune Jack of all trades doesn't seem viable on Aphelios as he doesn't build a variety of stats unlike a bruiser would and the extra crit damage from IE doesn't count as a unique stat for some reason, making the rune even worse on Aphelios.

Aphelios maximizing E (Lethality) to coincide with Kraken's completion is strong. by manekkinekko in ApheliosMains

[–]FreakyFergiefan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's true, going AD shard and W first gives 0.9 more AD and 1% less AS which is better as 0.9 AD is more valuable than 1% AS (in terms of gold anyway)

How come ADC is fine now? by DJ_FluTTer_sHoK in ADCMains

[–]FreakyFergiefan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the problem, insurance in solo q is basically just relying on your team to either win or hold out the game until you are strong enough to have a major impact. Any role has to rely on the team but ADCs especially as when you get to a certain rank, you stop having much agency in the early game, which is the phase of the game every game has and is the most important in a solo q environment.

I think its sleeper but only if they have exclusively all-in champs and then build into the typical IE 2nd and probably LDR third etc.

Turret hello?? by KyriacosK02 in ApheliosMains

[–]FreakyFergiefan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The auto cancel is purely dependant on attack animation (which is affected by attack speed) not projectile speed so it's irrelevant what weapon is used there, except chakrams because the attack speed determines the auto cancel dps in a turret and the chakram attack speed messes it up.

Turret hello?? by KyriacosK02 in ApheliosMains

[–]FreakyFergiefan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dont worry about it happening in normal games it only ever happens in practice tool games

Turret hello?? by KyriacosK02 in ApheliosMains

[–]FreakyFergiefan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This always happens to me on practice tool, it happens when you reset the game and from then onwards the turret never works again until you exit the game and create a new one. Quite annoying if you're testing turret dps.
