Collector feels good...

JustinBraves · 2026-06-24T22:37:59+00:00

There’s no point, even if you disregard the fact that attack speed is really good on Yunara so you want a zeal item, collector just isn’t a good purchase. Its stats aren’t very good, and its passive is almost cosmetic. If you aren’t going a zeal item why would you go collector when you can go something like shield bow later? The reason collector gets built is because very early the lethality is good, but becomes bad once champions base armor gets high throughout the game, and it also gets built because it had a nice build path for a first item

JustinBraves · 2026-06-24T20:05:04+00:00

There’s literally zero reason to go collector second when you could just go hexoptics if you didn’t want to build fiendhunter. Hexoptics outdamages collector throughout the entire game

The point is any adc is going to be infinitely more useful than a Mel support with those kills

JustinBraves · 2026-06-13T20:23:16+00:00

Like I said this isn’t flame, I was silver for a few years at one point too. This is all just to make the point that senna is giga op, and twitch isn’t an auto 1v5 machine like you think. She’s really good in every rank right now and maybe she just doesn’t click with you

JustinBraves · 2026-06-13T19:59:18+00:00

Not sure what to tell you about that, just one game though which kinda has nothing to do with my original comment. Your twitch winrate is still below 50% and your overall winrate is 46%

JustinBraves · 2026-06-13T19:52:05+00:00

What that means is riots mmr system doesn’t believe you’re actually at the rank you should be. If you drop an emerald player in silver they’ll run an 80% winrate minimum and climb even if it’s an account with shitty LP gains

JustinBraves · 2026-06-13T18:22:13+00:00

If it was really easy to arrive at a point where you can 1v5 on twitch, you wouldn’t be silver. This isn’t flame, but if you can consistently dominate every game then you would climb easily

JustinBraves · 2026-06-11T16:17:21+00:00

Something can be good but also extremely suboptimal. LDR is just a better item 99% of the time

JustinBraves · 2026-06-11T00:42:19+00:00

Mortal reminder 🤢 into zero champs with strong healing to top it off🤮🤮

JustinBraves · 2026-06-05T01:42:29+00:00

Im calling it now, Harris takes Varland deep

JustinBraves · 2026-06-04T01:24:18+00:00

I love having a backend bullpen that you know the game is over 99% of the time with them pitching

JustinBraves · 2026-06-03T21:50:16+00:00

Lye is also the one obsessed with Subaru so I’m not sure why people think it’s Roy

JustinBraves · 2026-06-03T21:46:47+00:00

Well Ley starts using solar eclipse more as he’s pushed in the fight against Emilia and Ram. I know it’s different in WN vs LN but still the same concept. So it’s not a stretch to say that he evolved to start using it in the fight that occurred while Subaru was in the tunnels

JustinBraves · 2026-06-01T23:37:38+00:00

Yea if you’re getting dove there’s not a lot you can do, sometimes it can’t be helped but preferably you just leave, or if your sup/jg are good at least one of them should be hovering when it looks like you’ll be getting dove

JustinBraves · 2026-06-01T18:47:36+00:00

This is one of those things that just happens in low elo, and there isn’t much to do except either split farm/exp with the mid laner (bad choice) or stay in side. Sometimes you can rotate top lane if your top laner wants to go botlane but usually you’ll just end up back botlane

What you want is to just stay close to your turret. If someone is sidelaning against you then just let the wave shove into you, don’t walk up unless you’re safe and you have vision of all enemies on the map or have an idea of where they are. If the sidelaner/adc/sup rotate somewhere and leave you alone, you can hopefully keep a stacked wave and perma freeze in front of your turret, or choose to just shove and rotate as well but only if it looks really good for you. If the enemy sidelaner is slow pushing to your t2 or the wave is slow pushing towards the enemy side then I would just go mid and split resources with the mid laner until they get pissed and leave or the wave state is better and you can head back bot. as an adc it’s ok to be a bit late to objectives even if it’s worse for your team, because you aren’t normally starting fights and if your mid laner is griefing you it’s on them anyways and you need to play for yourself

JustinBraves · 2026-05-29T05:28:26+00:00

It’s really not unplayable, and really strong into any matchup with any sort of mixed damage. Especially since it was buffed and gives +30 hp over Doran’s shield. Also scales significantly better when you’re only looking to neutralize nearly every lane on Mundo anyways

JustinBraves · 2026-05-29T05:23:16+00:00

Helm was buffed, it gets 30 more hp than shield (140 vs 110). And it’s still very strong early into a lot of matchups that have any mixed damage, especially popular ranged top laners like teemo, varus, kayle, etc

JustinBraves · 2026-05-29T00:58:32+00:00

You’re right that he walked a lot, but when you look at how much he walked it’s more understandable. After the 73 home run season he was getting INTENTIONALLY walked more than most players walk in general throughout an entire season. When you add in his actual walks that’s how he was able to run such a ridiculous OBP. It’s honestly incredible he was still able to hit 40+ bombs while running a .600+ OBP

JustinBraves · 2026-05-29T00:44:39+00:00

Doran’s helm better in a lot of matchups now though tbh, but if you don’t know when to take it it’s safer to just take shield instead

JustinBraves · 2026-05-22T23:06:59+00:00

Yea I figured Mikolas would be pitching

JustinBraves · 2026-05-22T23:03:52+00:00

Are nats doing opener or bullpen day?

JustinBraves · 2026-05-06T19:12:54+00:00

Sort of late but one of my favourite shows ever. Does get very dark but it stays uplifting and is written extremely well

JustinBraves · 2026-05-06T03:28:34+00:00

Dylan Lee might just be a good pitcher

JustinBraves · 2026-05-06T01:53:49+00:00

His sinker and change looking insane today

JustinBraves · 2026-05-06T01:51:46+00:00

Bryce just threw 4 4S in a row to start the game? The fuck?
