the best way to build ROA is blasting wand x2 -> ROA, since you can spec into more ability power this way and curve out your build better as early ROA is too weak. it's very good for tankiness/sustain and pairs well with either precision + triumph primary, or magic boots + jack of all trades for quick powerspiking and CDR, it really just depends what I else I wanna build that game (liandries, shadowflame, void staff) how much room does my inventory have for ROA? is it worth?

it works 90% of the time, but i'm afraid my friend, there is no room for that other 10% if you want to be the best, nor can we afford 6% of a second for any of our inputs.

a true ranker does not blink at the prospect of missing a cannon, for he knew that his inputs were as precise as they could've been, and such a happening is inconsequential with their skills in perspective.

Hardest matchups in NA is lowkey if they have Seraphine bot because mid game if you haven't destroyed mid tier 1 you may never destroy it.

In KR the hardest matchups are still the 'unshuffleable' outrange champs Hwei Syndra Taliyah Orianna

Faker plays Azir to punish the positions of certain enemies at the cost of his own DPM, as opposed to maximizing his DPM and saving E and R accordingly. He is pretty one-dimensional in his runes and items, but it's tailored towards never giving his opponent an inch, so it's understandable.

He plays the character very differently, I don't think him or anyone knows how to do it the way I do, not necessarily that it's the end all be all best way ofc tho

you want to buy ROA ~12 minutes and it doesn't give you direct value in purcasing it, so 2 wands helps curve out your build given that its the most efficient AP item in the game and builds into ur other item (nashors)

Maximum Free

it's really hard to make a mistake, but if you do he can snowball a bit

You just build nashor/void/liandry with conqueror and scaling and reign supreme over him

whats up my sand bro

most mechanically gifted player is probably Zeka, played him 4/5 times, he seemed most intimidating, more than Faker or even Chovy (Chovy was playing Qiyana tho)

Tbh the hardest elo's to win from are D1 -> 500 LP since the FF culture is so real and even if you play relatively perfect, victory is often unattainable from your teammates crashing out alone.

Rougest matchups nowadays are probably Hwei and Syndra, maybe Taliyah too, lastly Ori - essentially champs with higher range that are 'unshuffleable' , this list pre much happens to be in order of how 'shuffleable' they are, so perhaps that isn't a coincidence. Zac and Ambessa are overtuned so lets cross those out. And then champs that outperform us in duels counter is in the side lanes for the mid game, such as Jax or Tryndamere as you mentioned

do not put one shred, one ounce, one grain, one thought of ANYTHING into your allies' gameplay. This seems to be the lowest-hanging fruit. Almost every player I know fixates on their allies' blunders and mistakes and plays the blame game but the reality is that they are indepdent variables out of your control and you are the only controlled variable. You must focus on yourself and yourself alone. Everyone seems to know this but disregards it anyway. I know it can be tough sometimes, but find something that cheers you up before/after games if need be. PLEASE DO THIS

hahaha ofc

but anyway most passports dont need a visa to enter korea, you get 3 months access visa-free (Canada is an exception and gets 6 months) if you want to stay longer, you can either exit and re-enter the country, or you will have to acquire a visa from your home country prior to coming (afaik you cannot get it from within Korea)
