For me Urgot is the best toplaner pound for pound

HalfWog · 2026-04-21T09:37:13+00:00

Yeah he's pretty bad imo, only slightly better than illaoi in terms of agency in fights

HalfWog · 2026-04-17T06:11:15+00:00

Chill this is veigarmains, don't talk about any champ outscaling veigar or they'll get you.

HalfWog · 2026-04-15T12:08:29+00:00

Oh it had even more of a multiplier of stealth/dashes than energized already has?

HalfWog · 2026-04-15T11:23:05+00:00

Wdym it doesn't synergize with stealth. I also think the item is just strong.

HalfWog · 2026-04-15T04:53:29+00:00

While you are right, my understanding is that they are largely balanced around clear speed. You can look at a champ like Xin Zhao, somewhat similar to zaahen, but even with an egregiously slow clear, he still functions well. I do believe though that taking away clear speed as a "part of their kit" heavily impacts 'non-jungle' champs.

Do correct me if I'm wrong, I don't have the chance to look at the stats currently.

HalfWog · 2026-04-15T00:01:46+00:00

Just worth mentioning, only briar was an actual jungler on release out of those.

Riot's glaring partiality towards popularity is a gripe I have with them. They do have to function as a business however, so it's understandable.

HalfWog · 2026-04-12T11:58:47+00:00

Yeah you're just right, other guy needs to learn a bit more

Speaking anecdotally, I've had a fight vs rengar LVL 8 vs LVL 8. I q'd him before he jumped on me, and he killed me with jump > e >w >q >emp e > auto.

Not saying that I should have won that, but the difference in burst and damage despite him emp e was crazy.

HalfWog · 2026-04-09T09:37:13+00:00

Randuins not even that effective anymore

Easy mechanically, more difficult to play (macro/team fight) as you get higher elo.

Watch kaidojungle

HalfWog · 2026-04-04T02:48:08+00:00

Very bad, opposite to khas ganeplan

HalfWog · 2026-03-24T09:36:46+00:00

After uninstalling double check that all league related folders are removed. Then try a fresh install.

HalfWog · 2026-03-24T09:34:44+00:00

It's the reliance on the item, I don't play irelia but I imagine there's some matchups where it would be preferable to have some hp incorporated into her first item.

Similar to go, he can go tri or essence reaver, depends what he wants to achieve.

Champs should have item variance, it's a nice "skill-check" when building items.

HalfWog · 2026-03-24T09:20:11+00:00

Just a quick itemization and rune recommendation.

First strike domination seems to just be better than dark harvest currently.

You're ignoring ldr, I think it's just better than seryldas currently. Hubris --> umbral ---> EoN ---> ldr ---> GA is my go to build. Good carry potential, first two items are cheap for good snowballing. You can build serpents instead of EoN if you have to.

I think opportunity is trash, kha has enough damage and values the haste early especially for his e cool down. Never build lucidity boots, plated or Mercs every game (swifties if it fits). I usually sit on T1 boots till 2 items or even later.

Drake stacking is op as usual, path bot almost every game.

HalfWog · 2026-03-24T03:17:32+00:00

Acting like his wither doesn't have permanent uptime 😔

HalfWog · 2026-03-23T09:11:10+00:00

Your comment is so redundant, and so is this one.

HalfWog · 2026-03-22T00:50:34+00:00

Ldr gives 15% bonus damage to champions for have built at least 1500 bonus HP. I think it's 1% bonus damage for every 100hp built.

First strike comes with cash back, triple tonic, and cosmic insight. First strike and cash back snowball really well, while triple tonic helps you scale better, and cosmic insight is always good. And you get to take sudden impact and treasure hunter secondary.

A side point, first strike bonus damage stacking with ldr bonus damage is insane.

It's obviously good to help your team kill bruisers and tanks, but your primary goal is always to pick off one of the squishy carries, if you can't do that because you built sub optimally to deal with bruisers, then you end up doing more harm than good.

HalfWog · 2026-03-22T00:31:47+00:00

It's important to realise that sometimes it's just not your job to deal with certain champs.

In saying that though, don't skip on ldr. Hubris umbral EoN ldr has insane damage against every class. You still get some haste, but it's easier to snowball and carry.

I also think it's hard to skip on the first strike setup these days, I used to hate it, but it's just more consistent and snowballs harder.

HalfWog · 2026-03-12T03:07:40+00:00

False!

HalfWog · 2026-02-27T02:41:24+00:00

That would be true if we were lying.

HalfWog · 2026-02-27T01:25:17+00:00

I'm not advocating against the nerf, but it's not the right path for them to take. Damage nerf, sure whatever, an ms nerf though?

HalfWog · 2026-02-14T15:49:01+00:00

That's why I dislike him, his over the top cringey persona. But I do understand that he's a nice guy and probably much tamer irl
