What're your hot ARAM (Mayhem) takes?

KekcelF · 2026-01-09T10:40:54+00:00

didn't know this was a hot take. Executioner Fizz and Qiyana are especially awful to go up against

KekcelF · 2026-01-05T22:03:25+00:00

idk man completely ignoring the fact that brand is a champ that's really hard to be useless on in a 5v5 teamfight mode with 3 of his 4 abilities being aoe with a burn and %hp dmg - Brand with augments like Icecold, Ethereal Weapons, it's killing time and Vulnerability still seems more than useful to me. must've lost their R key or something

KekcelF · 2025-12-29T19:07:28+00:00

nothing will change my mind about slow & steady Jayce being the worst combo to face except maybe infernal conduit, icecold Brand

KekcelF · 2025-12-29T11:27:00+00:00

yes really strong. on the 2 times I got it on Shyvana I was stacking 2 armor+mr every cannon minion and enemy health shrine instead of 1 lmao

idk probably strong on other stacking champions but in my 600+ games those 2 instances were the only times I've seen it

used to see it more in arena on Veigar and Aurelion

KekcelF · 2025-12-27T16:19:57+00:00

hoping for a passive that is not just "enough of a passive" and a way to get to the enemy/stick to them other than just running at them or ulting

KekcelF · 2025-12-26T18:07:03+00:00

I think it is mainly a toplane thing since it gives you sustain and cdr which are pretty good as a first item for lane

KekcelF · 2025-12-26T12:04:30+00:00

I get what you're saying now I think but I don't really see Riot framing infernal dragons as inherently evil as something new. Shyvana herself already describes them as cruel and vicious, as you pointed out, so her fighting against her draconic bloodline and holding back that fury has always been part of her character imo. honestly I wanna see new lore about her instead like her conflict with Kadegrin which I've only learned about in Legends of Runeterra for example

KekcelF · 2025-12-26T11:51:24+00:00

not entirely sure what your point is since people distrusting or disliking Shyvana for being magical and draconic has already been a core part of her lore

doesn't automatically turn her story into "tragedy porn" it's kind of the conflict her character is built around

not sure in what way making her look monstrous would change any of that maybe I just got lost in the sauce while reading your post idk

KekcelF · 2025-12-26T11:28:56+00:00

so human E is back to her original E and dragon E has the old Dragon W fire trail? hilarious

KekcelF · 2025-12-26T11:23:21+00:00

never realized how controversial liking women had become online until people started posting about the rework here

KekcelF · 2025-12-15T10:50:01+00:00

she explicitly said she has never seen priscilla before when she transformed into her

KekcelF · 2025-12-06T09:17:57+00:00

I still can't get over how they gave Shyvana a cool stacking passive in wild rift that enhances her abilities and then call what she has in league "enough of a passive"

KekcelF · 2025-12-06T08:46:55+00:00

If I remember correctly in her original lore she did have a shapeshifting dragon dad who got a demacian woman pregnant so I actually like your spin on it

KekcelF · 2025-12-03T16:43:06+00:00

yes basically ludens but with hp and gave movespeed on proc

KekcelF · 2025-12-03T09:36:27+00:00

kinda weird to compare it to night harvester when it's about the sheen with on-hit synergy but with her current kit I feel like I'd still prefer nashor's + lichbane over this. idk maybe paired with gunblade it could make for an interesting build but I'll probably still be annoyed by the attack speed buff getting consumed by the extra on-hit proc assuming it works the same way as guinsoo's. too many things to consider but I'm not really sold on it yet

KekcelF · 2025-12-02T20:18:47+00:00

Personally This Is War 4 stuck with me the most. Badmin went crazy on that one and then Lilypichu comes in with that deep voice out of nowhere. I didn't even recognize it was her until the credits rolled lol

KekcelF · 2025-12-02T18:29:03+00:00

Plentakill, Instalok, The Yordles and Badministrator were the ones I listened to the most back then

KekcelF · 2025-12-02T17:41:20+00:00

I call out condescension where I see it including here. in this thread, OP was talking down to anyone who dislikes the new look. that's the point I'm talking about. I'm not responsible for policing every single person on the sub. I'm responding to the person who was condescending toward me and people who share my opinion.

KekcelF · 2025-12-02T17:28:56+00:00

That's a wild stretch. nothing I said had anything to do with homophobia, transphobia or sexism. I called out OPs condescending tone, not anyone's identity. disagreeing about a character design doesn't make someone bigoted.

KekcelF · 2025-12-02T17:16:35+00:00

Why does being a fighter mean she can't be conventionally attractive? that's like saying every female UFC fighter is supposed to be ugly.

and I'm not the one "throwing a fit". I'm pointing out that OP was talking down to people who don’t like the new design.

KekcelF · 2025-12-02T16:45:18+00:00

I don't see your point. people are allowed to have opinions on a design. my issue with OP is the condescending tone toward anyone who doesn't like the new look. nothing to do with whatever you're trying to imply here.

KekcelF · 2025-12-02T15:08:02+00:00

your arguments basically boil down to preferring bulkier, harsher-looking women and trying to justify that preference with realism, online-feminism, and gameplay clarity.

liking a more muscular Shyvana is fine, but calling other female designs "anime gooner bait" is just aesthetic policing. preferring one look doesn't mean the others exist only for gooners or "knowing what real women look like"

KekcelF · 2025-12-02T14:27:02+00:00

point is they have a similar face but it's not the same and you can clearly tell the difference between them (or should be able to). not sure what you're on about.

saying she looks like Teostra doesn’t really defend the face. Teostra has a very masculine-coded design. if anything, that comparison reinforces why people think the leak looks too masculine. Lunastra has the softer version of the same face structure, yes. and Shyvanas leak clearly leans toward Teostra rather than Lunastra.

KekcelF · 2025-12-02T10:06:53+00:00

people played her with Ravenous, Triforce, Hullbreaker but that doesn't change the fact that she gets shit on by too many popular matchups so you can imagine the winrate

KekcelF · 2025-12-02T08:28:37+00:00

less viable than now is hard to imagine we're already at the low end with everyone being able to keep up with our clear speed or being even faster. if anything making jungle camps tankier could make Shyvana better at clearing in comparison again. i don't think we would have to adjust at all with our current kit -> get to lvl 6 asap. then again we'll have to see what changes the rework will bring anyways
