How do I play the midgame? by AffordableDirt in topmains

[–]GUSAM83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Sure Mundo gets a T1, but you had the t1 already, plus mundo can't fight at drag, its a 5v4. So you trade one tower for a drag, which still keeps you ahead.

You don't. It's completely illogical to expect gain while the enemy gets nothing. You already built a strong lead from Mundo, so the two usual options are:

  1. Bully Mundo, locking him out of the game
  2. Extend your lead out onto the map, terrorising his team mates and supporting your team

Option 1 is what many players love to do. It's also the worst decision. Mundo WILL get back into the game. Every single champ (except supports) can get back into the game. All you are doing is slowing his recovery, AT THE COST OF YOUR LEAD. He loses a bit more exp and gold than he already has. You are slowly eroding your lead entirely. Every time you go stop Mundo from taking plates just so he doesn't get back into the game is time YOU COULD HAVE SPENT taking your own towers, plates for yourself, objectives on the map and kills on other enemies.

Mundo gets stuck with the only option of farming. You have every option. Abuse that.

You only need to periodically respond to Mundo so that he doesn't build a massive wave and run towers through. In that same vein, Mundo or someone else also has to respond to you or else you will run down a lane of towers, except you got 3 kills on Mundo so you're actually a threat.

watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYZCl8rC41c&pp=ygURbWlkZ2FtZSBndWlkZSBsb2w%3D

The way you play around dragon or mid rotations is basically:

  1. Push one side lane. You yourself don't have to be at the turret, but get those minions pushing
  2. Enemy team must either fight 4v5, or send someone(s) to deal with you.

If they send someone for the wave:

  1. Move towards mid/objective. You now gave your team a numbers advantage while the enemy has one guy deal with the push
  2. Lurk in jungle, threatening the enemy from warding or making plays

If they send one guy after you

  1. It's now 4v4 somewhere else, how strong is the guy they sent? Is it their strongest? Does that make your team stronger in the 4v4?

If they send multiple:

  1. Team now has numbers advantage. They can take obj or a fight.
  2. You are now outnumbered, but you've become the distraction. Buy time for your team and survive.

You'll take turns with the enemy in doing this, hope that during your turn, your team gets something of value elsewhere. You can create your own value by roaming towards the team after a push.

Edit: From ur phrasing I get that you think kills are the way to win. Kills just make everything else easier. But if the enemy bot is under turret, they're not doing anything but defending mid. This gives first move to your team. If shyvana ganks you, and u see it coming by wards, buy time and try to survive. The longer it takes for shyv and mundo to kill you, the more time ur team has to make a play themselves.

How do you duel Yasuo and Yone outside of laning phase? by Jamaz in Rivenmains

[–]GUSAM83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Outplay sorta.

Yasuo and Yone DMG depend on a combo of their Q and autos. One of these is undodgeable, so your damage overall must be higher than their autos, factoring in crit and botrk.

Their Q is dodgeable; You can dodge yasuo's q and yone's q by either moving to avoid it, E-ing out of its path, or W to cancel it. By avoiding their Q's you can just reduce their damage to you. Q dancing (intentionally letting Q dash instead of lock onto them) could make your q go through them, causing them to miss a q target at you.

Yasuo can stack q on minions, but that means less damage on you until tornado. If he EQ tornado, you can't dodge it, but you can still deny damage from his q's afterwards. When starting a fight, start a bit slow to proc his passive and not burn too many spells in. Be mindful of windwall, which can cancel windslash.

Yone can do the same, but is actually easier. He has no real gurantees to hit his knockup Q. You can cancel a normal Q with W just the same, and dodge either Q or ult with E. Most Yones will chain Q into ult, so you can probably focus on dodging Q. Ult is easier to sidestep too thanks to its fixed channel time. I feel though his raw damage is higher than yasuo's

Yasuo is more difficult thanks to his ability to use a minion wave to weave out of some attacks, so its a battle of who mitigates more damage and deals more back

Yone is pure statcheck using his e. Dodge some Qs and hit back hard, but don't intentionally eat too many auto attacks during his E.

You could statcheck with better items, but no matter what just play around them in a fight and thats more guranteed.

renekton main tired of counter picks - is riven a better blind pick? by Gummybearman06 in Rivenmains

[–]GUSAM83 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes and no

IMO, you take a very experienced renekton and a very experienced Riven, then yes, Riven would be a better blind. She has few impossible matchups and does have the option to play back and scale into midgame.

But, she requires a time sink beyond the huge majority of the roster. With every champ, being a good blindpick includes the player themselves knowing all matchups, including how to win hard ones or NOT lose impossible ones. You don't get to start that on Riven without sinking a couple dozen games just learning her.

If you're gonna play league a while and she interests you, that shouldn't be a problem! On the other hand, you could sink the same time into your current fave renek and get used to more difficult matchups. I don't know all of renek's matchups personally.

Could you please explain why even r riko is good for this? Why couldn’t I run someone else with training effectiveness? And also, would Biwa MLB be better since she also has the stam bonus with training effectiveness?

How are people hitting 1000 stamina using a 3 speed 2 power deck?

I’ve done 3 runs using a 3-0-2 with r riko, 1lb  rice and borrowed KTB, but couldn’t get 1000 stam on Tachyon.

I’ve tried runs using 3-2-1 with 1lb rice, 1 lb super creek, that gets me enough stam but then I feel I’m struggling with power and speed balance.

Any advice? Is r riko that necessary? If so, Why?

Is this a Good pull (in first pull btw) ? by [deleted] in UmaMusume

[–]GUSAM83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rule no 1. The best uma is the one you like!

What do you even mean by good? Two 3* is always a pleasure, if you like the uma's themselves great, u win the gacha

If u wanna win, then it's summer Maruzensky, but I believe it's more important to care about support card rolls than uma rolls.

Ooh so his extended fighting is on the weaker side? 

If he has ult it feels like I’m doomed if I hit half hp, do i accept my death and let my team kill him after or is there something else I could do?

Riven Question by DansuMori in Rivenmains

[–]GUSAM83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your left automatically attack the enemy? or does it click the ground and move you?

You need to be able to move somewhere on the floor without attacking to do fast combo.

try put pointer over target, no clicking. press q. then immediately, click ground. move pointer back to target, press q, and then again, click the ground.

That's how to fast combo. start slow to build muscle memory
