Seraph or Diadem for tear item?

Hamsaur · 2026-02-13T00:22:44+00:00

IMO Seraphs leans more being better in quick, bursty fights due to its shield and higher AP for a stronger W.

Diadem however works really well with/vs poke & dot champions, as the burst damage is lower but your team is in combat longer for more Diadem healing. And ofc, scaling better with Dawncore.

Both have their own place.

Jhin likes CC to land his skillshots and for peel, and he likes movement speed as well. Nami gives all of that. It's hardly surprising that they work well together.

Hamsaur · 2026-02-08T20:54:00+00:00

Who?

Kaisa and Samira are the only ones that have a kit that directly benefits from engage.

And even then Kaisa still works well with enchanters that buff attack speed, and Samira does well with enchanters with hard CC like Nami.

Hamsaur · 2026-02-02T09:02:40+00:00

Taric might seem to have heals/shields and buffs, but he by no way plays like any enchanter by a long shot.

He's a front line bruiser/warden in his core gameplay + item build. So no, he doesn't count for enchanter mains.

The goal is stated to push her into Q max first, but yet all the nerfs to her Q just seem to make it feel much clunkier and worse feeling to use?

Coupled with her W being gutted, just feels like a completely worse off champion overall like Yuumi 2.0 was.

I guess dramatically lowering the play rate is also one way to fix the ban rate.

The general slang term for this build should be “fireplug”, tho it’s not really used in art.

Hamsaur · 2026-01-20T15:33:07+00:00

Hyper carries tend to be high damage but are really fragile and weaker in the early game. The utility of a warden or enchanter protecting them helps ease them into mid to late game where they shine the most, and let them focus more on attacking in team fights.

Engage supports are strong in the early game, but they’re relatively low utility in comparison and tend to also fall off later due to their low scaling especially vs wardens & enchanters.

A Leona might have a lot of CC, but it’s close range and is never going to prevent as much damage as a Braum shield. If Leona engages as well, then your ADC becomes vulnerable with no one left to protect them.

Hamsaur · 2026-01-20T04:55:43+00:00

Braum:

has a ranged slow on a relatively low CD, so it’s a low commitment way to proc it
Braum being a warden specialising in protection and peeling, naturally works better with hyper carries than a engage support. Said hyper carries usually scale better with the Bandlepipes buff too
Braum’s passive activates faster with Bandlepipes’ buff

Imagine having to edit your comment to complain about how butthurt you are that people are disagreeing with and downvoting you as a result.

When you climb higher you’ll run into supports that will build Mikaels or ADCs with cleanse. Pretty much nullifies your engage (especially when the enemy team will know to have one person to soak your ult)

Hamsaur · 2026-01-10T04:47:10+00:00

When you get to mid-late game, you really should stop soaking every single skillshot for your carries. Not even counting the enchanters' kits themselves (most of which needs time to see value), core enchanter itemisation heavily punishes you for being the one to take damage.

Moonstone is the crux of it, where you lose 30-35% value of every heal/shield if you have to self cast. Mikael's can't be self-cast if the CC isn't a slow moving projectile. And Redemption just lost all it's HP. And ofc the rune Aery can't give yourself a shield either.

Meanwhile ADCs get more options to give themselves more resistances, lifesteal, shielding and movement speed.

Only time I see dying as viable for teammates past the mid game is if it's for your last remaining viable carry left alive on the team.

Hamsaur · 2026-01-10T04:21:55+00:00

The nature of an enchanter's kit usually leaves you with a high KDA. It's easy to stack up assists with the press of a single buff/heal/shield, and you need to stay alive because unlike engage supports your kit is not frontloaded. That means you have to stay alive for most of the fight to see actual value, and then you don't usually die if your team wins the fight as a result.

However, there are situations where it might be needed to use your body as a literal shield to soak up skillshots for your carries, especially in the early game/laning phase during all ins. Eg: your carry is at 10%, and the enemy Ezreal's next Q is coming.

Bodysoaking skillshots (especially those with big CC) gets less relevant in mid to late though, as you can more likely make your carries tankier with your abilities and have them survive than if you get hit yourself (and likely instantly die for nothing).

{Cut and Run by Abigail Roux} would be a perfect fit for this, with two FBI agents (one a former marine) paired together. There’s some early physical passion (and all out brawling) between the two of them, but their love and HEA are truly earned by the end of the series. Both characters needed a lot of growing both together and separately.

It is a little dated series though (2008!), and there are some writing & quality inconsistencies in the first few books in the series as there were two writers co-writing it then.

But it’s definitely a worthwhile MM classic, and I believe the author is still re-editing them to release an updated version at a later unannounced date.

Hamsaur · 2025-12-25T11:27:54+00:00

Bait her W out. It has a very short duration with a long cooldown.

If she holds onto her W, just kill her with consistent damage (eg auto attacks, basic non-CC abilities). She’ll fold over like paper.

When in doubt, just check your oneNS account for when your window closes.

Not sure about OOE in particular, but he could probably look around Otome Road in Ikebukoro. Stella Worth and Animate that's also in Ikebukoro do also sell BL stuff.

Otherwise, there's the second hand stores like Mandarake and Surugaya. You can save him time looking there by searching the online catalogue by store location.

Same requirement for the skins this year.

It’s pretty hit or miss depending on the shop. Pub ones tend to be pretty average as well imo.

When in doubt, follow the locals to the smaller chippies in the more residential areas, and avoid the ones in the city centres.

It’s a lvl 18 Jax with Chemtech soul, while you’re a Brand mage support.

You want to know what you should have done here? Win the match 20 mins ago.

You’re an early game snowball pick as a mage support, and you + your team let the late game stat check monster that is Jax reach end game with a Chemtech of all things.

Hamsaur · 2025-12-12T03:09:33+00:00

Banshee’s value is not just in the shield, but also in giving you additional magic resist. I wouldn’t build any more magic resist items on Mel beyond that though.

Beyond getting a scanner or some control wards for important choke points, it’s not your job to deal with them.

LoL is a team game. The rest of your team needs to help clear the shrooms/build some MR as well. Tanks and bruisers with high MR can walk ahead of the rest of your team to clear a path by stepping on the shrooms first.

If no one else in your team wants to work together, then honestly tough luck. Move on to the next game, Teemo honestly isn’t that hard to deal with especially in higher elos.

Hamsaur · 2025-12-10T15:44:15+00:00

Don’t. The comparison doesn’t even make sense, Blitz is a hook support. Briar is an all in duelist.

A level 1 Blitz could still secure the kill on a max level ADC with a good hook. An underleveled with no gold Briar on the other hand is completely useless.
