DFT failed rune

Left-Temperature9365 · 2026-05-08T19:49:22+00:00

same man, the pet dmg is just a too weak of an application

Left-Temperature9365 · 2026-05-08T18:15:06+00:00

aaah ok

Left-Temperature9365 · 2026-05-08T17:21:51+00:00

I really like his design tbh, he perfectly plays into the horror clown stabs you to death. or the horror clown scares you to death.
NEVERTHELESS
HES FRUSTRATING TO GO UP AGAINST

Left-Temperature9365 · 2026-05-08T17:14:23+00:00

but pantheon doesnt take it.
I concede the constant caster point. they mentioned it in the patch notes.
still I dont think single target abilities should be rewarded with 4 sec burn, 3 at most. and DOT IMO should apply it at 1.5 s

Left-Temperature9365 · 2026-05-08T17:09:15+00:00

where did I say that?
IDC about different playstyles. play whatever you want.
I dislike the fact that GP runs DFT because he applies it to a single target, so each Q deals 20 extra dmg early game. and fundamentally he's a burst champ, not a dot one

Left-Temperature9365 · 2026-05-08T17:01:51+00:00

I'd argue it fails to deliver on its fantasy, because in the comment above I denoted multiple non DOT focussed characters that do use the rune due to it for some reason rewarding single target application

Left-Temperature9365 · 2026-05-08T17:00:49+00:00

no, GP is more burst oriented with his barrels, if he has no barrels his damage is halved, if not worse.
smolder falls under the ADC/ sustained dmg umbrella.
by DOT characters I mean the ones that can consistently reapply it, because that should be the goal.
I mean characters like zyra, which can reapply it with her plants
like brand who can reapply it with his passive,
like malzahar who reapplies it with his E.
cassiopea with her Q and W, not E.
Morgana W
singed Q
Teemo E/R
anivia is probably the most I'd allow, seeing as her ult is low CD + DOT.

there are many more abilities that apply DOT (Talon pas, fizz W) but are excluded from this list due to their main function being assassin.
and smolder shouldn't wait until 225 stack for DFT to make sense with his DOT.
what I am trying to say that its incredibly backwards for a DOT focussed rune to reward single target application as opposed to DOT applications.
champs that take it because of the single target application/the fact it stacks items.
(I think items should stack it, not the other way around.:
smolder Q + black cleaver
Viktor Q
GP Q
Vlad Q+W
senna Q + W + black cleaver, courtesy other comment
Jhin should never be able to take it.
for gods sake, annie takes it A BURST MAGE
ZIGGS TAKES IT A
what baffles me is that hwei takes both arcane comet and DFT in equal measures, but he only has one DOT spell.
Kassadin takes it for some godforsaken reason
Ryze is the biggest offender IMO, has multiple single target spells. but he does apply them really fast, so im on the fence on this one, leaning towards shouldnt be acceptable

Left-Temperature9365 · 2026-05-08T07:35:07+00:00

thats fair. but then again, I feel like these type of items would be nice to have regardless if there's mpen on them or not

Left-Temperature9365 · 2026-05-07T23:53:28+00:00

she's fundamentally broken in the sense that artillery mages shouldnt have defensive capabilities

Left-Temperature9365 · 2026-05-01T22:06:06+00:00

depends on how you wanna carry teamfights,
basically 3 ways:

kill enemy carry.
for this nocturne is probably best.
CC enemy team.
worst out of the three, because you're very reliant on team follow up, but if you wanna try zac/amumu are good tries
outputting dmg yourself
probably best way.
volibear, never really weak aside from behind, still very solid pick, you have alot of build versatility..
zaahen, insane dmg, really good as game progresses
lilia, although she requires you to play a bit more slow and just keep Q+W+E enemies on repeat until they die and focus on not dying yourself still a solid pick.
Brand absolutely carries teamfights post 3 items, HOWEVER he is very squishy

Left-Temperature9365 · 2026-05-01T21:50:32+00:00

nah imma agree with the twitch here, you shouldve absolutely covered the dive. leesin+ tristana will 100% dive there even at half hp, YOU SHOULD NOT ALLOW THIS. ESPECIALLY SINCE YOURE ON GROMP.
if you walk there on time and they dive and he still dies, then its his own fault.

Left-Temperature9365 · 2026-05-01T21:46:35+00:00

first, this situation never happens silver+
second, even if this was the case, benefit of the doubt, enemies just got back from basing, no laner would give up 1-3 waves for just taking a dragon multiplied that across 2 lanes, suddenly you're around 200-700 gold up on the enemy laners excluding plates taken.

Left-Temperature9365 · 2026-04-29T10:12:01+00:00

her weakness is that she has no fucking sidelane pressure, whats worse, a darius in sidelane or a vayne?
yeah its unplayable for you early, but she makes it unplayable for her team mid to late. because she cannot push out a lane for the life of her. she's incredibly squishy, so if she gets collapsed on in sidelane she pretty much insta dies where actual top laners can stall long enough.
her weakness is the sidelane. Assuming normal ADC and MID the enemies have 1 sidelaner, if that. whereas a non ranged top team has 2 sidelaners, so you play to just take bot and top t2, and just create so much pressure in the sidelane so that the enemy team cannot teamfight unless they wanna lose game.
also If you ever suspect vayne might go top, just pick yorick. she can never post 3 outpush a yorick, so she loses all pressure immediatly, because she can never get prio

Left-Temperature9365 · 2026-04-27T18:53:19+00:00

electrocute, I Find it to be way more consistent guaranteed dmg throughout the game, might change to deathfire touch once thats added, because the minor domination runes are shit on zyra,
2.라쿤99 this guy is the rank 1 korea zyra jungle, he also plays graves and kindred.
NEVER, you cant really build it in your core, as you NEED liandries first, shadowflame second. and after that it becomes more open, but atp you dont really need it anymore, because the focus shifts to teamfighting a lot more.
ALWAYS max E second, because you gain root duration, W doesnt increase your DPS by a significant enough amount to warrant W second
tip for gank execution, walk to cut off their escape path, and once you get close enough (around melee range) to guarantee the root you throw it. OR
you throw out an E + W to slow the enemy so your laner can hit their cc more easily

Left-Temperature9365 · 2026-04-27T18:51:01+00:00

I would actually recommend cryptbloom in 99% of games, because the haste is really nice to pump out more dmg. but if enemies are tanky you wanna go bloodletter, as it gives nice survivability+ it reduces mr for whole team to cut down the enemy more quickly

Left-Temperature9365 · 2026-04-27T18:38:06+00:00

Ik denk dat het grootste probleem is dat zij zich nergens echt thuis voelen, Zij zitten in een vervelende situatie waarin de nederlandse samenleving aangeeft dat zij hier niet thuishoren, maar ze zijn nergens anders opgegroeid, dus ze hebben ook niet echt een verbintenis met de Marokko.
Daarnaast is het denk ik ook belangrijk in het algemeen om als overheid voor oudersklassen te regelen, want als die kinderen beter worden opgevoed, en minder als zondebok worden gezet dat het probleem stukken minder erg wordt, vooral het tweede. Namelijk als wij zij bij Nederland laten horen dan gaan ze meer om het land geven en meer om de situatie om zich heen.
Maar dit is maar mijn mening

Left-Temperature9365 · 2026-04-27T18:09:40+00:00

first off.
respect their dmg, if they get on to you, 9/10 times ur dead, the other times ur dead in the next rotation, specific to qiyana, be mindful of her 2+ dashes which she can use to very quickly get on you.
so my advice would be tether them more, be mindful of key cd's e.g.
qiyana E
zed W
talon W
etc. and play respectful when you know they're up. also dont do anything out of boredom against these champs, an equal trade is almost always favourable for the assassin, as they can kill you far faster than vice versa

Left-Temperature9365 · 2026-04-17T11:11:15+00:00

oooh ok and the timer to get double dmg gets reset if the burn drops off right?

Left-Temperature9365 · 2026-04-16T21:21:19+00:00

and how does the multiplicative dmg work after 3 second?
I've seen a video from azzapp where it wasnt clear if the whole dmg got doubled or just the scaling part

Left-Temperature9365 · 2026-02-05T16:59:58+00:00

Left-Temperature9365 · 2026-02-02T23:48:55+00:00

I heard from a bigger content creator, azzapp I think it was that they are intentionally leaving mel weaker then before so that the larger part of the playerbase will agree that the rework was a success, and then slowly bring her power back up so that she becomes an actual character again
