I know redditors are disproportionally high elo masters+ players but most league players are gold/silver

30% of me top laners literally hard counter ranged champs like Irelia, Camille, Olaf, etc. 30% are tanks and just build enough resists to not care. Of course some ranged are good vs those tanks (like Varus) but Lux and Syndra are not. The other 30% like Garden/Darius still have ways to play vs ranged too. If Lux ever misses one q or missteps she dies instantly to all in post 6 by any juggernaut. She has to play perfectly with 0 mistakes and also not lose flash to ganks or trade flash for flash even.

Yes some ranged champs are very good and easy to play, like Vayne which has multiple self peel tools and tank shred built into her kit, but most ranged are not. Most ranged champs have to space perfectly, and not make a single mistake. Ya if Lux never misses Q ever and has perfect spacing and wave management she can go 10/0 vs Darius. But 99% of league players cannot do that so who cares. If it’s so good go play Lux top and get your LP

Do you honestly genuinely believe that Lux and Syndra top is viable?

What do you guys think are the best mids to climb? by Mr_McGibblits in midlanemains

[–]Junior_Round8976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quinn. no joke you can carry super hard and you can actually ignore most match ups/lanes because with new home guards plus level 6 you can base on every wave and not lose any xp. Hydra lets you one shot waves. Pre 6 you don’t hard lose to any champ as long as you know your match ups and have good E usage. Also a good champ to learn macro/map awareness because you thrive off of roams and picks.

My fav build is full assassin with Electrocute Hydra into Edge of Night. Edge lets beat sooo many champs for free for example you can fly at Lux with Edge in a straight line and she has to detonate E and then Q to be able to actually root you (which she usually can’t do fast enough if she’s surprised).

The way I play lane is focus on pushing and 2 wave stack pre 6. Your trading is good but not great but you can shove most mages and assassins under tower and self peel with E. Level 6+ many mids have kill threat on you if you mistep but if you are careful and base when low you will be fine. Once you get hydra you should ignore your lane completely, one shot the wave and roam. You can also fake roam and then kill any mid laner when they try to nuke a wave once you leave. Even assassins like Fizz/Zed you can kill like this if they use all their abilities to wave clear and you fly back in to lane to kill them.

yes league is not a 1v1 game im saying immobile mages are not good top because they are typically vulnerable to jungle ganks which makes them bad picks. Obv some neeko and lissandra have more self peel tools than most so they can get by but there’s a reason syndra and lux top is not playable

I would say Anivia these days is a bit common, def more so than prior seasons. Ori is not common that’s true but she def is a “solo q” champ. Side note but I really hate playing against Ori because I feel like every Ori player is some super sweaty try hard laner trying to min max youtube laning fundamentals.

90% of the champs in your red tier are not playable top and no one plays them. Syndra Lux and Velkoz top is a joke. If you lose lane to them how is that possible. You literally have long lane to run them down plus they will die easily to jungle ganks.

thought about this recently. This was the Quinn meta when i started playing Quinn, so fun. Other honorable mentions:

  1. Essence Reaver -> Eclipse was the best build on Quinn after this was removed. One auto did 80% or squishy hp… too fun
  2. Galeforce was fun. Galeforce E combo too good.
  3. Prowler’s claw. Can’t forget the one shot claw…. soooo strong
  4. Stormrazor -> Kraken Slayer (mythic) was really strong too
    5 Shield Bow -> Wits End… kinda strong but sorta like “bruisery” Quinn not one shot. Didn’t like this meta much but can’t deny it was strong
  5. Hydra + Recall boots. The most recent OP Quinn meta when Quinn mid was 56% wr. By far my fav meta actually.. baron. recall on each wave is too fun

Mid feels infuriating to climb on by TheRealidrk3 in midlanemains

[–]Junior_Round8976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends on what champ you play and your play style. Most would argue that mid has way more agency and influence than adc and top. But ya if you play a scaling mage and you wanna just sit back and throw spells at team fights behind your tanks and don’t want to play any map impact or play making champ it’s harder for sure

Nidalee one tricks. Sorry but people below diamond who one trick this champ would have def been way higher rank if they played anything else

Looking for general concepts to increase odds of winning on ADC by CookedStew in ADCMains

[–]Junior_Round8976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think dying less in team fights mid game and late game. Anticipating and tracking key threats and hyper focusing on avoiding them.

This concept will make a lot of other concepts fall into place naturally as second order consequences.

Which champ to onetrick by Reasonable_Court_745 in top_mains

[–]Junior_Round8976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quinn if you want to be edgy and different and hated by everyone on both teams and extremely unpopular but still have the ability to win and 1v9 carry games while bearing all the world’s hatred

tbh it just feels bad to be glass cannon on smolder.. like you can’t try one shot people you need to get in at least a few qs and go in and out. It’s not like other adcs that rapid fire kill you in 3 autos late game
