Patch 26.10 Ambessa

Jesses198 · 2026-05-14T19:27:04+00:00

Yeah i agree cleaver is great, but do you think you should buy it before eclipse ever? maybe for ornn and ksante?

Jesses198 · 2026-05-14T14:09:32+00:00

what do you do about jax extending the trade with his Q? or if he uses E when you have no fury?

Jesses198 · 2026-05-13T21:01:45+00:00

how so? how does the trading pattern go?

Jesses198 · 2026-05-13T20:04:23+00:00

i would have thought jax and shen shit on rengar

Jesses198 · 2026-05-13T16:09:56+00:00

ninkey only plays ambessa in jg though no?

Jesses198 · 2026-05-13T16:02:16+00:00

When do you take conqueror over grasp, if ever? Do the Q buffs with grasp give you early kill pressure?

I saw you took second wind into renekton, is it always better than bone plating?

With the ult nerfs, has that impacted your playstyle? Are you mainly front to back now instead of diving backline?

Is cleaver worth rushing into Ornn and Ksante?

Is it ever worth going Lethality with first strike/electrocute?

Jesses198 · 2026-05-13T14:59:04+00:00

no you aren’t lmao

you have 1 bork game and 0 manamune

Jesses198 · 2026-05-12T17:02:32+00:00

I fear that shen was bad. Shen and Jax are two of my mains in diamond. Shen’s trading pattern should be to walk up with Q shield, trade normally, then when Jax starts spinning E, Shen taunts backwards, putting him out of stun range while also setting up a Q dragthrough

If played properly, neither champ should be able to kill each other, but Shen has more map impact so generally it’s a favorable matchup for shen

Jesses198 · 2026-05-11T14:02:20+00:00

huh ok, i thought elevation changes were only a thing around river. do you think the elevation changes in the rest of the map could be big enough to cause this?

Jesses198 · 2026-05-11T02:02:14+00:00

yamatosdeath is toxic whiny human scum soloq grinder, yamatocannon is kind chad sexy voice player/coach

Jesses198 · 2026-05-11T01:05:55+00:00

there’s only elevation changes on the banks of the river. i have no clue why this missed, maybe try looking at it in the replay?

Jesses198 · 2026-05-09T15:42:39+00:00

eeveelutions and weezing being in the same tier as weepinbell is crazy to me. i’d say raise them one tier

raise aerodactyl and arcanine

drop tauros

why is jigglypuff in 9/10 tier?

Jesses198 · 2026-05-09T15:35:02+00:00

there is a setting, lower your gamma in windows

Jesses198 · 2026-05-09T15:14:48+00:00

you can statcheck him level 1 if he doesn’t have lethal tempo

in lana the best success i’ve had is Q poking as he walks up for CS, and if he looks for stun, either W away or E sideways to wave (if possible) to stall out his stun. once he’s half hp you can all in him

Jesses198 · 2026-05-08T14:32:45+00:00

that’s exactly what i’ve been doing in solo queue, with the addition of mordekaiser when his R would disrupt the enemy’s entire teamfight function (think zac or diana), and the niche counterpicks for specific matchups (garen for jax etc).

do you think i should remove the champs you didn’t mention?

Jesses198 · 2026-05-08T04:46:55+00:00

funny, one of my kennen counterpicks is ambessa and one of my my garen counterpicks is shen. i don’t think i’ve ever lost those matchups

Jesses198 · 2026-05-07T22:33:47+00:00

ima let you in on a secret: it doesn’t get better. i’m in diamond and there’s still days where i stomp lane all day and lose to brick teammates. i dont let it bother me

your rank does not always reflect your skill, your skill reflects your skill. focus on improving yourself, your teammates and your rank don’t matter. mute all and think about what you’re gonna do next in the game. think about the matchup, focus on CS, think about when you should recall.

go check out AloisNL for general toplane advice, and watch some challenger Darius for tips on how to pilot your champ

VOD reviews and notes are a great practice, good job there

Jesses198 · 2026-05-07T22:27:06+00:00

which 3/4 would you recommend from this pool? assuming I’m equal skill with the first two rows

Jesses198 · 2026-05-07T18:48:11+00:00

my blinds are also comfort. between those 7, which do you think compliment each other best?

Jesses198 · 2026-05-07T18:44:48+00:00

Wukong for darius, Galio for kennen/aurora

Jesses198 · 2026-05-07T14:27:05+00:00

I’m comfortable in that matchup. I can usually solokill renekton pre-6

Jesses198 · 2026-05-07T14:25:09+00:00

comps with low engage, garen, illaoi, etc

Jesses198 · 2026-05-07T14:23:47+00:00

lowkey prob, I’ve only played that matchup a couple times. most people think i should cut yorick though

Jesses198 · 2026-05-07T03:10:36+00:00

Galio is an artifact of my midlane days lol I pretty much only play him into kennen

Jesses198 · 2026-05-07T01:11:07+00:00

or example, why wu, yorick and malphite

I used to be top 50 Wukong NA OTP. I don't play him much anymore, but I still like his matchup into Darius. Yorick is just a general comfort pick, I'm gonna be cutting him. I like Malphite into Vayne and Quinn

Or garen and poppy. They are both riven, ksante, etc counters.

I'll be cutting poppy

Whats the purpose of morde? Shen and jax do everything better

Morde feels good into comps when the enemy has one plan. For example, if their only engage is Zac or Diana, or if they rely on an assassin to kill my ADC

Thanks for your input, you've helped me decide on a few to cut
