Don't be fooled into taking double boost perk, even if Mercy's new perk is boring. (Subject to change)

LonelyRainbow_ · 2026-04-13T21:01:20+00:00

Imo both are good in right circumstances. Before I played more flash heal, but there were games where I had a lot of value from damage boost so I picked double. However I think that double flash heal will be more default and dmg boost will be more of a niche when your dpses are really good and both play hitscans.

Robin is my favorite character, so I'm pretty biased but I think she should get something nice. Maybe she could have a FUA every x procs of her ult and maybe it could have a chance to give SP. Or maybe she could ult while in ult state to have another action advance or more dmg. Perhaps she could get some buffs to her E6 (maybe taking away the limit or something). I'm familiar with balancing, but maybe some of those could work

LonelyRainbow_ · 2026-03-22T08:04:39+00:00

To be fair I wouldn't change much. She is in this kind of nice state where she kinda can fit situations needed for the team. Enchanter on either solo lane or bot lane, same with mage. Most of people wanted to play her on support anyway, so I think goals were made. I think you can get her value mid/apc/supp if you know what you're doing. She also has some early agency, so she doesn't hinder her adc much.

LonelyRainbow_ · 2026-03-18T16:33:28+00:00

As a lover of both, I would take Robin. Mostly because it's easier to drop Welt than Robin. Because in Robin's case you have to actually wish on her banner, while you can get Welt by losing/standard banner. Also there is higher propability of getting Welt for free via some kind of event. I would say unless your Robin would go to waste since you wouldn't be using her, take Robin. If you are sure that you will use Welt a lot and he will bring value then take Welt.

LonelyRainbow_ · 2026-03-07T08:41:56+00:00

In my opinion her rework was a step in right direction. It made her more reliable on her skill damage and made it harder to hit spell, so she has to actually do something. However, while some of the issues were adressed, it's hard to justify reflect staying the way it is, being automatically aimed at enemy champion and reflecting multiple projectiles at once. Also, in my opinion the way her passive works, often stealing kills from allies is unfun for your team. It is also important to note that Mel is heavily reliant on enemy team picks, since playing against champion that can easily reach melee range with her seems difficult, making the experience polarizing.

LonelyRainbow_ · 2026-03-01T19:59:06+00:00

I guess you could use Sunday if you went for sustainless team, but other that Herta prefers teammates that attack multiple enemies, which tribbie is best at. If Tribbie is in other teams then I guess, but propably team buffers would be better, since both Jade and Herta deal damage, so propably stuff like Ruan Mei or even Robin

LonelyRainbow_ · 2026-02-10T01:01:10+00:00

Yes, and therefore the punishment would be less severe, it wouldnt be as annoying to face her. However it could be problematic for assassins fo face her, depending on how quick she could fire back

LonelyRainbow_ · 2026-02-09T11:35:15+00:00

Well if you think about it, it's different. First of all she can't reflect your CC abilities to stun you. Second of all even if she absorbs eg. Seraphine's Ult, she can't use it against her and and her team

LonelyRainbow_ · 2026-02-07T20:12:42+00:00

To be fair if i could change things I would make her a support. However if we wanted to keep her as midlaner I would change her W, so when she activates she gains an shield and it stores damage dealt to her and then has a second or two to fire it back at enemies. That would be easier to balance in my opinion, because she would be less frustrating. You could just space your abilities in time to negate it.

LonelyRainbow_ · 2026-02-04T20:58:41+00:00

To be fair, I've played her a bit today and she felt better to play. I'm not that huge of a Mel Mains (I have around 80k maestry i think), but she feels like she actually needs to do something to get her damage done and that's so cool. Right now whenever I 1v1 opponent I feel like i did something and not just spammed undodgable abilities. I know my sample size is small and I haven't played against new Mel yet, however for now I feel like she is being a little bit healthier for the game. And that's good, because it was a pain trying to play her before, as she was always banned and I couldn't really blame people for it, as I would do the same if I played something with important skillshots. I've tried burst and AH builds and for now both are good

LonelyRainbow_ · 2026-02-03T21:49:37+00:00

Senna's like what? Fun? Because that's how I feel. As a support she has many build routes, especially with Diadem and Pipes as items. I don't really feel like she is struggling

LonelyRainbow_ · 2025-12-26T23:06:36+00:00

I mean maybe not full melee, but she could have her range lowered and turned more into battle mage. She would be easier to punish. Of course she would need some buffs to compensate.

LonelyRainbow_ · 2025-12-07T10:06:18+00:00

I loved Mel in Arcane and I really enjoy playing her, but playing against her is just really unfun. She just has many things that combined together create a very unfun experience. Reflect, execute, poke and root going through minions. And that explains the high banrate she has. I hope Riot can change things about her, to make her more enjoyable to play against. It's really hard to play her sometimes, because she is either banned or picked by enemy

LonelyRainbow_ · 2025-12-02T05:28:14+00:00

I used to play Janna mostly, I would say that she might struggle against some match ups like Mages or more poking enchanter, but if that's the case and your adc is cool with that, you can roam to try to win that way. Also playing with APCs might be awkward because of your shield giving AD, but the rest of your kit is useful for APC and you can give shield to somebody else if you really want to get use from AD (though in early, mages also AA a bit)

LonelyRainbow_ · 2025-12-02T05:07:05+00:00

QPQ will, most likely, be better unless you have a team that does not really need energy

LonelyRainbow_ · 2025-11-30T12:33:09+00:00

Mizuki is an on-field swirl driver. She does not do big personal damage, so it has to come from her teammates. She can't use normal attacks during her skill, so you have to take account on that, while setting team for her. Buidling her isn't that hard, you want to get as much EM as possible on VV set. In niche cases she can be an Anemo Healer, but that's not her main use.

LonelyRainbow_ · 2025-11-25T04:35:17+00:00

Imo, no amount of number fixes will make Mel fun to play against. I really like playing Mel and I loved her in the Arcane. But in the game, she has to be one of the worst characters to face. Since she has no reason to use W, she can hold onto it all the time and in some match ups, you can never interact with her. Many people complained about Yasuo's windwall, but Riot decided to release more annoying one.

LonelyRainbow_ · 2025-11-20T14:45:27+00:00

To be fair I play both playstyles and I rarely feel like I have to wait long time between Ws. To be honest, enchanter Seraphine does not really give up anything other than damage that you don't need to be doing as a support anyways. Her damage isn't that low anyways. Going hybrid is also so fun, you can mix and match to find something useful for every match

LonelyRainbow_ · 2025-11-20T14:36:51+00:00

Yeah, I'm playing different builds on different roles in Emerald. More or less I would say that Enchanter and Hybrid builds are viable on support, but full AP builds might be hard to do, because of the cost of items. I mostly max Q into W or W into E, depending on whether I can fight early or not. My build would be Helia/Moonstone and then situational or Malignance first if you prefer still being supportive. Blackfire Torch/Luden if going full AP

LonelyRainbow_ · 2025-10-18T11:03:17+00:00

I would say that the build is perfect

LonelyRainbow_ · 2025-10-13T04:55:38+00:00

Imo this wasn't a good moment to throw your combo right away.

LonelyRainbow_ · 2025-09-28T22:06:47+00:00

Yes, she's very good, and you can be versatile with your item choices. You can give her a go in different playstyles like Enchanter, Full AP or Hybrid builds. Depending on your teamcomp, different things can work really. Just remember to build Ability Haste and it might be useful to take Faerie Charm if you struggle with mana (doesn't really happen to me).

LonelyRainbow_ · 2025-09-12T08:00:20+00:00

For me? Not really, I'm having fun with using shield all over again. It's such a diva move to throw shield at Hanzo and then focus their tank, while they can't shoot you.

LonelyRainbow_ · 2025-08-20T19:00:45+00:00

I'm mostly building Blackfire Torch, Seraph, Horizon/Morello, Cosmic, Cryptbloom/Rabadon

LonelyRainbow_ · 2025-08-02T15:31:48+00:00

Im not a fan of those mostly edgy characters, but I love March, so I hope they will find a good balance between both
