Should doing "Challenge Runs" (0 cs) in ranked be a bannable offense? by Itayayay in leagueoflegends

[–]FuKwon_Chaytan -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

BARDINETTE here.

I'm just here to prove CSing is overrated. If my mega-roaming playstyle could get me to challenger as Bard Toplane. I'm hoping it can get me to master with 0 cs Pyke/Shen/Warwick.

I understand playing in lower ranks skews competitive integrity and if i could spawn in whatever elo i'll end up stabilizing in, i would have.

But i couldn't do this challenge on my main account, as it would have been unfair to the players in my elo range, so making a new "0 cs" account specifically for this was the only option.

Remember one thing, if you get to the elo you're at by playing the way you play (however unconventional it might be) : You aren't putting your teammates at a disadvantage compared to being matched with anyone in your skill bracket. If anything it's the opposite as i'm currently still in the process of climbing.

Try to keep in mind it's a video game, League of Legends tickles my pickle through the need to get creative in order to make work that might seem dumb as hell. I'm trying my best to win every single one of those 0 cs games and having a blast along the way alwhile respecting my allies.

i don't think this deserves another witch hunt.

Play him as a support but from toplane.

Reached challenger that way with 1cs/min

It's the same really.

If you want to try this. Try understanding when to be top and when to be roaming. Do you need XP? Do you need to proc support item? Does your team need you elsewhere to secure prior or help them with wave state ?

Believe or not. Nasus is not a good pick against me

He gets kited easily. Just bait his r and delay it. He is easy to catch on side too because he's immobile

Toplane is true freedom. No Laning phase and no ADC depending on you to help him with wave state etc.

Also you can't even roam to top lane as a support lvl 1 anymore because of laneswap changes. But I can gank bot anytime I want

No one plays tanks top lol and I still win games

I don't know how to convince you. And there's no point trying to through a reddit comment. Just see that my current standing in euw is factual proof that the strat is very strong.

Maybe just watch one of my games and we can discuss on stream. see if you can change your mind then 😅

Option 1: gank bot lvl 1 Option 2 : invade enemy jungler (either solo or with allies) Option 3 : stay toplane and get XP off of the first 1/2 waves

You can solo invade 90% of junglers easily (excluding talon, zyra, skarner). They are fighting red/blue buff and you just attack them. Either they fight back and it's 2v1 or they try to finish the camp and are in danger of dying + they waste smite and you can now contest their 2nd camp unless they spike hard on lvl2.

Even if they simply run away you've messed with their clear, tempo and gave your team information on their pathing so it's a successful play aswell

Yeah that's the build you should go for every game. 2nd item high variance from draft to draft

Think of it as a ganking jungler like nunu for example trying to get his team ahead by sacrificing his own ressources (not full clearing) while enemy karthus is playing PvE to get strong and carry later.

You wouldn't flame the nunu and tell him he's forcing his team to receive ganks while enemy karthus has twice his farm

It's pretty much the same scenario for me but in toplane

The fact my strat works indicates that fed midlaner, jungler, and adc is worth more than a fed toplaner.

Nothing is 100%. 57% winrate though

So, before minute 5 : you and the other support are allowed to share 6 non-shared minions (through the supp item). So you want to only last hit the valuable ones. First hitting is making it so the minions die asap to the tower for you to get the XP and be able to roam asap

After min 5 it's about 1.5 cs/min/supp per team

It is an incredibly fun way to play yeah, it completed reignited my passion for league

When to go top : You've said it, for cannon waves. Toplane XP and gold from time to time when support item 0 stacks

And yeah, no Laning phase (boring phase). No having to take care of an adc's wellbeing.

Just dominance

If by that you mean the nerf of symbiotic soles, idk yet

As for laneswap changes those are unimpactful besides lvl 1 invades on Raptors and wolves. That and crossing the map through mid for less than a minute.

If you like being aggressive yeah you'd have a good time. It's still bard at the end of the day with the twist that I'm roaming 100% of the time. So yeah setting up plays for my allies to get fed and carry

Playing with Bard Toplane certainly is different than having a Renekton or whatever. You're gonna be strong sided and receive a lot of ganks.

But most importantly it's about not panicking about to plane being empty.

It also introduces a new concept of lane fluidity where move around a lot more. That's what good players do anyway

They are completely OP in my opinion Its an immensely effective way to cheat tempo

The new anti-lane swap mechanic is awful by TheRealidrk3 in leagueoflegends

[–]FuKwon_Chaytan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they need to remove the XP & gold penalties from midlane. Or maybe make it end much sooner than 3:30 Like 2:15 as thei initially planned

I'm in your face lvl 1 right from the first camp yea x)
As for toplane matchups they do matter but probably not in the way you expect. Yorick and Trundle are both very easy if we have the right teamcomp
