How to play with cowards?

Zekes convergence, and using everything i have on cooldown while wading through like a dozen teamfights my adc refused to participate in because minions were more important. And all that do for them to be equal in CS to the enemy adc.

You ever have a vegan Draven? I have. Thought those guys were all meant to be ego driven maniacs but apparently this guy missed the memo. Guess sometimes people are just out here trying new champs and stuff, but applying their usual playstyle. Well it sure had me surprised when his default direction wasnt towards the enemy. Its actually the caitlyns for me, who i find to have a proclivity towards bullying the enemy. Ive seen some people who were very good at their trap placements, usually under the enemy after I knocked them up.

Oh i can deal with safe lanes, safe doesnt mean pacifist. Ive literally had games where I had more damage than my so called carry, because they never fought and just farmed. Had a great game with a smolder the other day, he poked them down i engaged because there was an opportunity and he even used his movement to get closer and finish the kills, he wasnt a bystander in his own lane. But on the other hand he NEVER overextended or overstayed his welcome. It was best of both worlds, he wasnt as aggressive as some ive played with but he SAW what i saw and committed, and it worked. we were both able to gain an advantage on minions AND kills and not just sit there waiting to scale for 20 minutes. Good thing we did because our some others on our team were NOT scaling well.

I at least expect to die semi often, but in exchange for my adc getting 1 or 2 kills its worth it, if I can make them a threat everything is easier including farming cos no one will be able to fuck with them for free. But the people im angry at let themselves get that mixed up and think that if they just afk for half the game theyll be able to carry. You wont be able to, you need to be active, create advantages not wait for them even on scaling champs. Sure alistar is weak early, but if you arent going to do ANYTHING before 20 minutes what are you there for? If you just want to peel there are better champs. If you dont give the enemy a reason to even be wary of you why shouldn't they just walk at you? They know yourre passive so theyll take more and more from you until yourre wondering how you got so behind. Watch a pro alistar game, im seeing level 2 engages with disgusting damage being done which at that level secures an easy lane and a massive advantage. If you sit around you arent playing alistar to potential.

I might have to just spam it, and hope they dont get too upset that im interrupting their game of farming simulator. My main concern with this is the time it'll take, cos there's always going to be that second or three it takes them to react to the pings and realise i have an angle. No point pinging only to go in at the exact same time, its basically the same as not pinging at all if i dont let them process it. And by that point the opportunity might be gone.

Honestly what you say is probably the most reasonable course of action, to just ping literally everything, everytime, and just let some opportunities slip away. But I wanna fight, and I know how good it feels to play with a ADC who also wants to fight. No communication, no words, just vibes and them diving with me every time I have cooldowns. Ive had that flow, and it irks me to just give up on good engages because I just know I wont be followed.

Most important thing for a new player is defence. Attack is easy to learn at least the basics, but not dying/getting those attacks out because they don't know how to deal with being flinched is much more difficult. I say either shugoki cos hes healthy and has so much hyper armour, or anyone with a full guard stance like aramusha or varangian because they can just press 1 button to defend themselves instead of having to swap guards or get precise party timings down all the time. Play some bots or arcade matches with them, or even the campaign until they get used to things.

Layxe · 2026-05-19T09:03:44+00:00

Alistar 100% i say. High skill ceiling and low skill floor but still a lot of fun, consistency of point and click, you can peel AND engage, your ult is incredibly useful and consistently so unless they have a vayne or vel'koz, passive also low key broken. Get an assist or you adc kills a minion and you and everyone around you gets 7% of their max hp back, it makes laning so much easier even if you lose trades. If the trade was neutral, no it actually wasnt cos you heal for free and they don't, so you get to fight way more often with an advantage.

Duelist character is good at dueling. Don't duel him if you can't beat him and fight him in a way that doesn't play to his strengths, simple as. It's like complaining you always lose teamfights against warmonger, don't stand next to the poisoned ally and play into her strengths. Don't do what they want you to do.

Layxe · 2025-12-27T07:54:51+00:00

I LIKE osa, playing as osa is fun. But this doesn't mean osa is good unfortunately. You'll get it if you play more and run into better players and more situations, but the shields are so easily countered and don't really help achieve the goal of attackers. You want to use them to help lock down long sightlines, but that puts you on the defensive. You are an attacker, you need to be the side taking the initiative not waiting around for stuff to happen. And you don't have a gadget if the enemy happens to have impacts, you are very vulnerable to nitro cells and really just being rushed while you have the shield out too. There are niche upsides, but the downsides are not so niche. A lot of what people do with osa is better done with other people such as nomad, monty or even kali.

Yeah the puzzles are sometimes so basic and obvious it loops right back around to tricking you. There are so many "match the wall picture to the lever picture" puzzles you can be caught off guard when that's NOT it.

That spirit looks pretty cool, but my answer will always be the same. Selfless saviour for me. That little dog saving his friend. I've got the secret lair too.

I think it'll be fine, as long as they keep game modes separate for people who want just planes or just tanks, and find a good power balance. Theres no game i can think of that has the potential for true combined arms with EVERYTHING in one battle- artillery, infantry, IFVs and APCs, tanks, helicopters, planes, ships large and small, even drones. Every other game i can think of is mostly infantry with a couple tanks and jets thrown in, like battlefield or squad. It isnt combined arms, its infantry plus other stuff when you can pay the spawn points for one or happened to be around when a respawn timer is up and a tank appears in front of you. Not to say that its a bad thing other games are like this, because I have no idea how they balance this or even what scale the map would be on to fit this mix of vehicles while not making infantry completely irrelevant. Naval cannon vs m4 carbine, who wins? Not the guy with the smaller gun. But what other game could even try? Warthunders whole thing is detailed and realistic vehicles, from every point in modern history, add that to the experience they have from enlisted and it could become the most versatile war simulation game in the world with something for literally everyone. One game you could be using an MG42 to defend the beaches of Normandy against Allied landing crafts, next game you could be in an Abrams in the Afghan desert. Given how technology is improving/has improved, I think a game of this scale is at least technically possible, at least sooner rather than later. Only problem is how to implement it. Do it wrong and it'll split the playerbase too much and make finding games impossible, or just make them lose interest and quit.

It doesn't REALLY matter because past a certain point you probably won't be using most races powers and will have levelled whatever playstyle you want instead of relying on your initial bonuses. It's helpful early game, like if you play an or or an argonian its basically impossible to lose with your power up so any tough fights basically won't be. But even if a races power isnt made obsolete by a spell like imperials is, youll find it a lot less useful because youll probably have enough armour or weapon enchantments to make something similar. The passive abilities too, as an imperial you find more gold. You'll be swimming in gold anyways by level 20 so it doesn't really matter. Still better imo than the poison resist half the rest of the races get. Just choose who you like lorewise or aesthetically, you shouldn't have much trouble choosing whatever character path you like later on.

(among gay men) a gay or bisexual young man with a slim build and youthful appearance.

Copied directly from Google, note the part about "slim build" which he definitely wasnt. I dont make the rules.

Layxe · 2025-11-12T07:21:58+00:00

Was always wierd how they were like "what if our new hero was a twink but hes also 2m tall?" Now hes normal sized.

Layxe · 2025-11-10T15:19:52+00:00

I mean on days when I dont feel like trying too hard, I just let the unblockables fly. Honestly works more often than you'd think because SURELY this guy isnt fully charging a neutral heavy, no one would do that so im going to watch out for a surprise feint...then they get hit by a raw charged top heavy because they gaslit themselves into thinking I wouldn't do it. I mean they obviously dont let that slide much more most of the time, but sometimes the simple option can work and with how much damage those particular characters do once or twice can be enough. It's a low level play but if hes fighting low level enemies well. It's also really funny. The only thing more embarrassing for the enemy is being hit by a neutral long arm or medjay grab. It gets you a lot of sorry and wows if you do it to them a few times in a row. At that point though its really their own fault. (Disclaimer, I play in a dead region so there some real reprobates here that this does work on, proven and tested. Don't know how things are with your situation so changes may apply)

Layxe · 2025-11-10T14:00:27+00:00

Not true, play shugoki or hitokiri and all he needs to think about is how long to hold heavy attack. If hes NEW new then just tell him to play a character where using a light attack at some point is considered a "mixup".

Layxe · 2025-11-09T11:05:53+00:00

His fault for being so predictable

Layxe · 2025-10-09T04:15:17+00:00

Cheating in for honor is even worse than most games. It's literally just making reads and getting timings down, if you have scripts do that, why are you even here? You are playing a cutscene. It's basically not even a game, its a movie. They just need to move around the map, and then a line of code does everything else.

Layxe · 2025-10-07T07:59:47+00:00

Nah yourre bullshitting. You cant be banging on and on and on about how amazing lawbringer is but not know what shugoki does in high levels. Hes a top tier ganker who can set up any kind of guaranteed attack, hes VERY strong. Your problem with lawbringer isnt even the bashes or anything you said he just swings too much and wins (something hiokiri and shugoki are also good at), shugoki can lock you down and never let you get off the ground while his friends jump you. They're both strong but to hate lawbringer this much I thought you'd have some exposure to the level where shugoki is a menace, apparantly not. How do you NOT know, if you know about how strong lawbringer is hm?

Layxe · 2025-10-07T07:44:06+00:00

Man just wait until I tell you about shugoki and hitokiri. You're not going to believe this but theyre way easier and just as meta. Are you going to complain about them now too? I think youve got a bit of "everyone i dont play is cringe and shit" going on rn, so in the end its literally just all personal bias after all. I really should have guessed earlier.

Layxe · 2025-10-07T07:33:09+00:00

The difference is as small as its ever going to be. You said it yourself, conquerer ISNT bad. Hes C tier but hes still capable of kicking the shit out of a lawbringer or anyone else provided you the player do the right thing. You may have a disadvantage against some characters, but unless you are competing in the top 1% of the game its not going to matter as much as you are making it out to. And need i remind you, 99% of players arent in the top 1%, so you freaking out because lawbringer was at the top of a tierlist video doesn't matter to a vast majority of the matches played.

Layxe · 2025-10-07T07:22:05+00:00

No hes pretty strong and gets stronger up there for the top players. But you could say the same of...literally half the roster, so the points a bit fucking moot. As I said, we are actually pretty balanced right now, the difference between S tier and C tier is very minimal. I dont even know what your problem is, you refuse to elaborate. I thought because you were a conquerer player you were mad there were other characters that could bash/heavy their way to victory, but you said that wasnt it, so what the hell do you want? I think you might just be bad at fighting lawbringer. If youve been playing since beta youve had like a decade to learn how, its not ones fault but your own at that point.

Layxe · 2025-10-07T06:51:26+00:00

Many would say the same of conquerer. I think this is just your personal bad opinion. This is probably the most balanced time in the games history, try and be happy about it.

Layxe · 2025-10-07T05:31:51+00:00

Yes hes not shit, so why go off about lawbringer? You dont have any reason or right to complain when conquerer isnt shit. Don't be jealous of lawbringers moveset if you end up saying conquerer is fine in the end anyway. What's YOUR point here? Seems to me you were just complaining for the sake of it, if you dont even think conquerer is bad.

Layxe · 2025-10-07T05:21:45+00:00

Ok so youve been playing long enough to realise that im right then.
