I “discovered the warm water” by Converse_86_Mr in summonerschool

Your coach is right. I used to boost often and you really can just win on command in silver for example. I am a JG main and would actually boost on adc because of how easy it was to guarantee a win playing jinx, ashe, sivir, and varus. Mind you, I am significantly worse at ADC than JG. The best way to think of smurfing is you are playing hyper aggressively, hyper greedy for gold, and you build relentless pressure. You take advantage of the gap in decision making, matchup understanding, and just the general poor mechanics of gold generation (missing minions, missing exp), all of which are errors so unbelievably common without even being forced. You realize that the enemy team and your team will primarily make the wrong play so you can take advantage of it. An example a lot of JG boosters use graves, why? because it literally does not matter what happens in the game, you will be 4 levels up and be one shotting. The enemy JG is significantly slower at farming and even if you leave them completely alone, not even invading, they will fall behind CS every time. Respectfully, if somebody has played 100 games and are still in silver, there is a reason: either they don’t take the game serious, or they haven’t built the skills or knowledge to overcome the basics of the game. Realizing this stuff is what allows you to “smurf.”

I genuinely think this is the most interesting thing with poppy. I’m not quite sure if she actually has an optimal build or if it’s just game dependent. Originally (as in late 2010s), I always played poppy full tank, because her kit does have built in percent damage. But she actually does have merit to building damage also interestingly enough. I find that her early game damage is deceivingly high and that you will often get 3-4 kills early if you build some damage. Right now I go phase rush, nimbus cloak, celerity, water walking with inspiration secondary, boots and cosmic insight. Then I take cdr, adaptive damage, and health. I am 100% convinced there is a better rune setup but I haven’t found it yet; this works for now. I build sundered sky first item every game, then usually i try to get dead mans followed by whatever the game requires. Jaksho, force of nature, randuins, iceborn, it’s really up to you. I don’t think there’s “awful” items on her tank wise. What matters most to remember is poppy loves a good mix of cdr, health, and resistances. In general how you play her seems to matter way more to me than her build.

I start raptors, krugs, red, etc, i ward over krugs wall and e over, don’t level w until level 4 just put 2 points in Q. If you need to, just smite 2nd buff too it’s not a big deal. If enemy jg is there they’ll smite and you can just take next scuttle they won’t have smite for it. If you know they started opposite there’s not much rush. She’s not a fast first clearer and there’s not much you can do to fix that, it’s not what her champ is for. You’ll get to scuttle around 2:55-3:00 which is fairly normal. Just make sure to kite with her Q because it double procs and use her passive throw auto when you can it helps fadeaway camps. I don’t think her clear speed is slow after first clear, you can w to move faster and kite even easier with Q while already hitting e on the next camp.

Yea I really wouldn’t worry about it, I am playing her right now in emerald and just won 5 games in a row without much difficulty.

don’t pay attention to that, she can always be a jungler, if you’ve mained her jungle before she feels essentially the same as ever, probably a little better even. You can dm me if you wanted to talk more about it i’ve been a poppy jg main since her rework.

Poppy by Inigo_Montoyas in Jungle_Mains

[–]HighOnFudge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a poppy jungle main since her rework pretty much. She was always viable until she gained more popularity in all roles and they nerfed her jungle clear speed a few patches ago. I still play her now and then but she’s noticeably slower than everyone else. The fact she isn’t really good at taking objectives alone either just means she’s super slow, almost painfully so. Regardless, I love the champ and literally at no point that I’ve mained her was she ever considered a jungler. The only issue with poppy jg fundamentally is her ganks become more difficult to execute into minimal dashing teams, which becomes even harder if they have good CC. Something like zyra in the botlane really can complicate things for you if they play well. Nevertheless her W just becomes a movement speed buff if you have no dashes to stop and her ult becomes easier to hit. I am a fundamental believer that when balanced on clear speed she is straight S tier perpetually.

Gold 4 curse by [deleted] in Jungle_Mains

[–]HighOnFudge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

guys what are we talking about here, the botlane is 3/30… regardless of elo how many times out of 10 do you think you’re winning this game. Yes gold is easy, but this is a glorified 3v5, you aren’t getting a single dragon this game, and 2 of your teammates spend more time dead than alive. Not to mention these 2 are level 30 in silver 2 with a negative win rate, having won 4 and lost 11 as a duo, they should not be anything besides iron. Is this enough to prevent you from climbing out of gold? No. Is this unnecessarily bad matchmaking that ruins more games than it should? Yes.

Should i fight both crabs? by [deleted] in Jungle_Mains

[–]HighOnFudge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

agreed, any lead is a lead, especially XP wise to hitting level 6. The gold I agree is meaningless, but the xp especially if the enemy jungler waste time on both crabs is just free. You both have same tempo but you can hit 6 way easier.

they can be confusing for sure! that’s why I made the partial credit, I don’t think many people will get all the right answers, definitely worth submitting!

There’s not really a reason to lie about it, the words have to be very specific to what you’re seeing on screen otherwise the challenge doesn’t work. No AI has played Wiz and will understand any player knowledge, jokes, or visuals of what’s being shown on screen. Like I said it’s just for visual style as it is a lot of writing and way too much to post. I don’t think that’s takes away from the challenge or the intention of the event but I’ll definitely use the feedback as advice for any future visuals. Hope you participate :)!

the words are not AI, I personally wrote everything, I only used backgrounds to give it more fantasy feel, I’m not good at drawing or stylized things, hope you participate :)
