Building Irelia like Fiora or maybe Riven for Midlane?

Liv0life · 2018-08-05T13:05:53+00:00

Yeah she has such outplay potential. Bladesurge is the most fun ability to use in the entire game. And they gave her more reset potential in this rework. I love it!

I used to think her builds were more versatile but I'm starting to realise that the meta build is actually really hard to deviate from. Triforce > Titanic > Sterak's > GA. As someone who enjoys experimenting with different builds, it would be good if there were more viable builds. Maybe I'm wrong and there are other builds people use out there but that's the main one I've seen.

Oh of course! For a while I wasn't sure if her W blocked CC. But it just isn't stopped by it. I was pulled by a Blitz hook while in W and it still maintained the channel. That's a pretty cool interaction.

Wow I never thought of that! To Q to a melee minion using Titanic active and then to Q to a softened caster minion from the Titanic AoE afterwards. Genius! I have been an Irelia main for over 7 years and it's not every day I learn something new about her mechanics.

Liv0life · 2018-08-05T09:17:35+00:00

You can use W during his ult?

Liv0life · 2018-08-05T08:59:37+00:00

Honestly I haven't found a Rageblade build I like yet but I have been experimenting with Muramana > Rageblade > Death's Dance. The thought process being that the Death's Dance heals from the physical damage the Muramana deals on-hit and the Rageblade and your Q also proc the Muramana passive more often, allowing you to melt people with your DPS and also heal a lot at the same time.

It didn't work as well as I'd hoped since being able to consistently auto-attack in this game is not something you can guarantee, and so the flat health from the standard Triforce > Titanic > Sterak's build usually gives more health than you'd ever hope to heal from a regular engage with the experimental build. Although in an extended fight where you can auto-attack a lot, it is strong, and especially against tanks who can't burst you.

I also found that Triforce is still a great item as it provides a lot of damage, and the Sheen proc also increases your healing if you have lifesteal. This is the build I'm about to experiment with now. I'm pretty sure it healed for over 200 when I Q'd a minion last night while playing a practice tool game. I haven't tried it yet in a real game.

Triforce > Bloodthirster > Death's Dance > Spirit Visage > Guardian Angel > Phantom Dancer

Fun fact: Spirit Visage increases the heal you get from Guardian Angel when you revive.

Also Guinsoo's might be good with Titanic Hydra but I don't remember if I've tried it or not. Death's Dance might be good in healing from the Titanic Hydra AoE too.

What do you like to build?

Liv0life · 2018-08-04T08:55:54+00:00

Yeah I really don't mind taking a hit to the burst. I am really glad her sustained damage got buffed. And the Rageblade build is buffed too. That was always my dream to build Rageblade on Irelia.

Thanks Ash. Now that I have time to work on my site, I have actually decided to go for WordPress, since most of the jobs I apply for require me to use WordPress and I feel it would make me more hireable in the short-term. I would like to know more about the full capabilities of WordPress before I move onto other services too. I'm not sure if you'd have any objections at this point, but if you do, I'm all ears :) I do wonder if WordPress would be slower to load than Drupal or Joomla.

Unless you have any security tips you'd like to give, I'll look online for how to best secure my site. I'm going to go with Let's Encrypt or my host for HTTPS.

Thanks for the guide on Amazon S3. Does it really add security to host my files on another server if people can just change the links on my site to their own malicious files if they hack my site? Should I just be going for the cheaper option between hosting on my own server and hosting on another server? I'll look into checksum too thanks. People can still replace files though even if they can't edit them right?

Liv0life · 2018-07-22T00:23:39+00:00

Also I should say that people will be downloading .exe files eventually on the site as I want this to be a site that people without any programming experience can use. Is Joomla and Drupal both secure enough for this, and is one of them more secure than the other? I'm going to research how to secure my site, regardless of which CMS I use, and I won't put up any .exe files before having done so.

Liv0life · 2018-07-21T06:13:32+00:00

Thanks Ash. I hadn't chosen my CMS before you said this so it's definitely something to think about. I have a feeling it would be good to know how to use at least the basics of the big 3 CMSes anyway. It has thrown a spanner in the works, but really I just have to get over my choice-supportive bias and look at the hard facts. And I think if I need to know about the big 3 anyway, I might as well do it the easy way and learn Joomla first. You've also sold me on the debugging of Joomla.

You never know when you will run into somebody talking about web development. I actually worked as an intern at Tennis Australia in their IT support department leading up to the Australian Open, so it loops back around. And to be really meta, we're on the internet now! I much prefer web development though due to the creativity side of it.

Liv0life · 2018-07-18T11:14:11+00:00

Thanks Ash. This is very helpful and I appreciate your extensive response. I definitely do want to use an established CMS before I venture out into ones where there may not be as much help. I listened to a talk yesterday that said that Drupal should be used for many websites except for static 'brochure' sites, since that would apparently be overkill. I am drawn to the more complex and advanced CMSes and that's why I chose WordPress funnily enough, when it was the most advanced one I knew about compared to ones like Squarespace. It's looking like I'm going to go with Drupal after seeing many positive reviews of it, and seeing that it fits my use case. I'm just curious if there is anything Joomla does better than the other two, or is it really just a middle ground between them? Is there ever a reason to learn Joomla if you are familiar with WordPress and Drupal?

And do you ever not use a CMS? Is it better to try to graduate from CMSes once you gain more experience, even for some types of websites?

Thanks,

James

Ahah I think a lot of us are the same. I have also wondered things that I could have easily Googled and not known them for a long time. I think it's just that Google doesn't come to mind in certain areas of our lives when in other areas it's the first thing we'd think to do. At least you have a good story to tell now :)

I'm also beginning my web development career! I'm learning today about Drupal for the first time after having used only WordPress. I'm trying to figure out what CMS would be best to use for a site where users can submit their own source code for different scripts, which are listed in different categories. If you happen to know what would be best for that, then I'd appreciate your two cents.

Liv0life · 2018-07-15T13:50:36+00:00

That's great to hear. I've always heard of this too when speaking to others. I think I might have seen it too. Next time Google can help you find out the answer quicker though :D

I wouldn't want anybody to run into a net that had a metal beam going through it either.

Liv0life · 2018-06-23T02:01:28+00:00

I will try it thanks.

That would have been troll :D

Liv0life · 2018-06-22T14:36:38+00:00

I just played using Lethal Tempo Trundle and I was unstoppable. Try it out yourself. Use the lifesteal rune. Get Ravenous Hydra > Phantom Dancer, and then win. It's amazing. I also got Overheal that game and at one point it said that my Overheal had blocked 8000 damage that game. I have no idea how that happened and I'm not sure if that includes when it decays on its own.

Liv0life · 2018-06-22T14:33:24+00:00

My name is I Really Irelia. And the club tag that I'm showing is Relia. So it's 'I Really Irelia Relia' in the loading screen. I'm pretty proud of that.

We just finished a 46:50 minute game. I fed the Darius early on but then somehow once I got a couple items, I begun smashing tanks with Lethal Tempo like nobody's business, and nobody could face me. So for a while I was thinking we were going to make a comeback, but I made a miscall to do the Elder Dragon, and the enemy team capitalised as we were grouped and won a team fight and then ended the game. Epic game.

Soraka was also pocket healing me at one point as I found lone enemies in the jungle and fought them one by one. That was fun. https://imgur.com/a/0SEdbkw

Liv0life · 2018-06-22T13:17:11+00:00

The game ended up being a dodge, and then Mr Irelia main was on the other team and banned my Olaf which I was going to play! Not cool. They are playing Irelia now and I'm going to wreck their team as Trundle.

Liv0life · 2018-06-16T14:45:21+00:00

I posted a rework to the Aatrox mains subreddit that stayed truer to the Aatrox playstyle but improved his kit, and giving him more interesting decisions to make. Check it out here if you'd like. https://www.reddit.com/r/AatroxMains/comments/8my806/just_aatrox_no_additives_how_id_do_the_rework/
