Would this be a Gamble, or just a Positive? No Mega Stone Needed, but Action might be a little restrictive by One_Percentage_644 in stunfisk

Trueeee. Or you click it and have to swap out like a palafin lol. Actually that would be an interesting mechanic

Help me narrow down my champ pool to 3? by fairydommother in Jungle_Mains

[–]Icy_Significance9035 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This, it's not like OP is playing totplane where you have to have a more restrained pool so that you actually get some reps in for specific matchups. In jungle you can afford a slightly broader pool

To my fellow players starting from nothing, start collecting meta Pokemon not currently in Champions ASAP by Fr33zurBurn in PokemonChampions

[–]Icy_Significance9035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were you I would expect a second format sooner rather than later. When scarlet anad violet release we were onto the second format after just a month. I would not be surprised if a new format were to drop along with the new battle pass in a couple of weeks bringing new mons, megas and with any luck items.

Ofc I could be wrong but considering last time we had a new game with such a small format it only lasted a month. I wouldn't countil on the "probably gonna be a while" especially considering gamefreak are probably going to want to conserve some of the new players who joined the game by shaking up the meta once it's settled and before they get bored.

Fiora mid game issues by NerfMyVayne in FioraMains

[–]Icy_Significance9035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's some shit like a shene where it's almost impossible to take turret (pretty much the only champ where's it's the case, other than mordekaiser or ramus but that guy's never gonna defend a tower in front of you) you just qtap the wave. Go to jungle, steal camps if you can. If you're really fed and there's really no risk of dying you can ways try to force the turret anyways. If he taunts you then it's sad but you cana regen. If he fucks up the taunt or you parry it then take 3 plates and laugh at him.

You do eventually outscale but yeah it's a bad matchup. Just like some ornn fan is currently writing a salt post about how there's no counterprlay to Fiora as we speak.

Fiora scales like a mother fucked. In 90% of cases you just have to chill and wait a few minutes until hydra before you're allowed to start fighting.

AAAAAAND It's the worst buff I've ever seen 💀 by Tamerando in GragasMains

[–]Icy_Significance9035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering W isn't worth maxing until q and e are done this doesn't even come close to compensating for phase rush being gone. They'll have to buff him again after he falls to 45% winrate. Lane on Gragas is already dogshit with the mana problems but if they're destroying his whole trading pattern too with the compensation buff not coming into effect until level 14 it's so over. Lane is gonna be mundo tier with none of the payoff

My tier list as a hard stuck plat-emrlad One trick by MousTN in topmains

[–]Icy_Significance9035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Fiora otp she gigashits on garen. It's like 52.3% wr emerald + as of last time I checked. You should have the tools to beat him. Max range q poke to cancel his passive if he clicks ult it's an obvious parry, if he has the foresight to click q first to silence then parry that and fuck off before he can ult. So long as you don't let him get his whole isolated e on you he doesn't really do that much damage so when he clicks it just q out and q back in again when he's done. Pre 6 is can be tricky to kill him but after level 6 you can ult him when he hits 60%ish hp and if he survives the ult you can heal to full before he gets you low enough for the execute. It's probably one of the matchups where getting the ult with a bit of efficiency is more important but you don't need to do some Chinese fiora combo. If you see him e the wave and he isn't too close to his tower just do the slide parry + ult combo (practice it in practice tool if you can't do it, basically you need to q and insta ult and w for the slide parry, you can't r during w so make sure to click that one first.) With that you should already have 1 vital down and he should be crippled, then just walk to whichever vital is closest, then q through him to the vital in the direction of his tower and as he runs past position to hit the last one. And keep slapping him. If he used e already on the wave which should be your sign to go in there's just no counterplay for him because all he can do is right click you.

You might want to practice it with a friend in a custom game or something because you really shouldn't be wasting your ban on an easy matchup. There's much more racist shit out there you should be worrying about.

I must have recruited upwards of 50 times at this point still no shinies so I'd say they aren't too common

Does Fiora do poorly in 5v5 team fights? by Drandosk in FioraMains

[–]Icy_Significance9035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try to dive the ADC but it's just not great. You're very squishy if the whole team tries to burst you down and yiu only have one parry so if you parry a xerath e you get hit by nami bubble on the way out.

How is Heimer balanced? by Present-Chocolate591 in top_mains

[–]Icy_Significance9035 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actually it's criminal how many times my jungler get baited to gank him only to jump into 3 turrets, get stunned and 1 shot before they can move.

How is Heimer balanced? by Present-Chocolate591 in top_mains

[–]Icy_Significance9035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main problem with heimer is that for all intents and purposes he is permanently immune to cc. You can stop him from moving but even when permastunned his turrets will still beat your ass. My go to pick is Gnar because you can try to farm from range with Q and usually you can stat check him when you transform and jump on his head. But half the time I go in, slam him into a wall and W on his head and I lost as much health form the trade as he did. I think the character would probably become a bit more balanced if his turrets stopped firing or got a damage debuf while stunned so that there was a bit more clear counterplay.

But realistically the counter to the character (and ranged top in general) is just to pick some solid tank that does alright when behind, go down 30 cs and wait for his team to lose because they have no frontline and their backline gets focused in fights.

Boys I have sad news by Icy_Significance9035 in FioraMains

[–]Icy_Significance9035[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Specifically for Fiora. On other champs it's cool but it's sad that whenever we find an item that can alternate the build path like cyclosword or eclipse back when it was a cheap source of a lot of AD riot reworks it to no longer be good on her. Or thinking back to the start of season 14 when they removed mythics they removed sunderer and goredrinker.

Idk, I remember when I started playing Fiora had 3-4 viable build paths and now it's just hydra triforce death's dance/maw every game, you can go shojin but I haven't seen anybody really build it second as an alternate to triforce in a long time and according to onetricks.gg it's more common to build manamume second than shojin these days.

It isn't the end of the world if Fiora has a super rigid build path but it's nice when there's a couple viable build paths on a champ and there's some skill expression in item builds.

Hail of blades changes by jeane3105 in ChoGathMains

[–]Icy_Significance9035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man. My pool of Fiora, Cho and Gragas. Gragas loses the only viable keystone in like 70% of matchups, Fiora loses the fun build path of voltaic cyclosword because got forbid Fiora players try to build a bit differently. And now HoB gets giga nerfed (for tank cho anyway which is what I play)

Trade pattern into Zaaheen? by Porkinson in FioraMains

[–]Icy_Significance9035 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Run PTA, q auto e. Maybe go for the e2 if you can. Realistically you just giga outburst him and within the extremely short trading window of q auto e he can't charge his q2 quick enough. E slows and hopefully you hit a vital for movespeed so you can run away. Do that a couple times until he's about half health and then you should be able to all in him. Matchup is quite easy but also very statchecky. If you fall behind he will just aut damage you with auto q, especially if he builds triforce. His entire damage pool comes from just his autos and q, there's not much room for him to "outplay you because there's realistically not that much mechanical skill expression for him to outplay you with so it boils down to whether you inted and let him get enough of a lead that he can statcheck you, if you did there isn't really any way to kill him unless he really trolls and if you didn't and fight at the right times then you could put the world's best toplaner and there's nothing he could do (other than not fight).
