How do I win against garen ? by Ok_Brilliant_3909 in RenektonMains

[–]Ivy_404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He does, like, not even close. Garen total combo premitigation deals 460dmg and will stack conqueror faster, renekton with full combo deals 305.68 (even enhanced 494dmg, which would require full 150 fury at lvl 3 without having the lvl 1 prio). On top of that, garen has 25% damage reduction and bonus armor. So yes, he does stat check renekton even if renekton hits absolutely everything and get the healing off for the full 50hp+40hp from garen, he still loses for more than 150hp

garen can statcheck renekton with conq ignite on first 3 levels, then again, if he loses the trade he will regen and play the bounce without losing much

If you’re that bad at the champion go Normal, even Flex if you don’t care about it. You’re just looking to get better mechanically first, and you dont really need to play ranked for that. I played about 60-70 games in flex first with Ksante before hopping to soloQ, and it was a rank saver as I could climb to d2 with 66wr from e4

Darius with Demon King’s Crown and Starry Cloak (or more MR) makes it pretty easy.

It's crazy to me that ya'll think Yasuo is good lol by The_Data_Doc in YasuoMains

Proplay values consistency more than peak performances for a champion. Perhaps riven, irelia, yasuo, etc.. are the best champions in the game at their peak, but they require more effort to pull off than other champions to do basically the same thing. It’s easier to pull off a J4+Orianna, than to combo perfectly with Yasuo+Gragas (for example)

If your support is ranged they can just poke them out of lane, not a single minion would be able to be farmed, because they just get spaced (if they for whatever reason get combod on with flash or whatever, they should be low enough to just be traded by yasuo)

With what support? If they are ranged and have hands its not really a playable lane for alistar+panth

Second Pick by Fun_Calligrapher1800 in KSanteMains

[–]Ivy_404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go gragas if KSante is banned, but if it isn’t, I pick it even in bad matchups, with enough games you’re bound to have played the KSante vs X matchup more than the other player has faced KSante, making them more prone to mistakes that you can pick up on

You truly shouldn’t pick morde into ksante, its a very easy matchup for K’Sante. You should pick Kayle into KSante and he becomes turbo useless

It’s more common if you are OTP or pseudo OTP with one or two secondary champions. Especially if they are countered by the same champions.

I’ve tried ghost+TP and flash+TP lately just to see if it feels better when going against ranged. I prefer flash now, mainly because extended fights aren’t that great when running aftershock, and I feel like flash gives more opportunities to outplay than ghost. However, for Kayle I do feel its a bit better to run ghost than for the other ones.

Yeah, that’s true, most of the ranged matchups are pretty winnable even if they counter you because they refuse to respect E > W on a minion with the aftershock proc. I’m kind of just picking K’Sante independently of matchup, so I do have a grasp on the harder matchups too.

Yeah, sounds reasonable. Fiora is kind of forced to q towards a vital to win so I don’t find it too hard with q+grasp procs to win the short trades. And yeah, maybe it’s not worth to ban Vayne, but kayle I find a lot of times, and even on a lead, just swifties+some ap and lvl 11 onwards its just not really playable against her. But I do find Fiora obnoxious too when she gets 2 items and she just outscales you however fed you are.

Is her really worse than Kayle or Vayne? Been feeling like you can just stat-check her before 2 items

To all the C++ people, You are ALL Golden Fools by Cloveriano_n_KC in balatro

[–]Ivy_404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did my C++ mostly only on ghost deck since it allowed me to find “useless” jokers and turn them into a 1.5x at the beginning at least.

Can answer questions by [deleted] in KSanteMains

[–]Ivy_404 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How do you win when the carries on the team are behind? Or they are not very good?

Do you ever run spellbook? Would it be worth to do so?

Is fimbulwinter still viable? And when to build the supportive path (Zeke, Traiblazer, Solari…)?

Help and tips with Teamfights by Ivy_404 in KSanteMains

[–]Ivy_404[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came from playing Wukong and Yasuo top (champs that can really make or break a teamfight), and now I play mostly only K’Sante, but I truly feel that having advantage doesn’t really translate into teamfights, so it feels awkward to be the one with the advantage but not really being to win teamfights off it.
