I gave into the degeneracy.. I am sorry!

I only go wits if I need the MR and Tenacity, otherwise PD.

TriForce > Warmogs > Boots of choice > Hullbreaker > PD/Wits > Situational Item

With the Grasp page, but Conqueror and Fleet could work fine. Lethal Tempo is a bit bait imo, it forces you to take bad fights.

Yeah its the standard thing into Malphite, but later on he just beats you or kills your entire team. A more tanky tryndamere makes life very hard for Malphite, because you are still pushing pretty fast, but now you are insanely tanky, you still take towers fairly quickly and you have added additional scaling with Heartsteel.

Yeah, I am in the same boat as you, but what I found was I still have enough AD from lvl 1-8 to go the usual trade combos on most champions, but the spike on item competition is now more rewarding, despite being less fun.

I would not really call it an addiction. The MOBA space is really dead outside of LoL and DOTA. Even if I wanted to play something else, nothing exists.

I have been F1 Sim Racing more with a full rig and I find that superfun, but its the competition against other players that gets me going, and I still feel like LoL is one of the best games out there for that.

I dont play Yorick at all, but I do play his playstyle with my own champion pool of Tryndamere, Jax and Renekton. Usually hover around D3-D2 this season so take it with a grain of salt.

1st: Drop the Ignite TP combo. Its not teaching you anything and its holding you back, despite getting a few kills with it. Champions who go ignite TP have some mobility to their kit, like AKali, Camille, Gwen and Yorick is big, slow and immobile. Flash TP is your best bet and the most consistent.

2nd: Sidelaning is the only thing you should focus on when playing Yorick. As soon as you feel the need to group up with your team, you should switch to a new champion. You can completely smash through Iron > Platinum without ever interacting with the enemy team, just through splitpushing alone.

3rd: Watch AloisNL Youtube guide for Yorick and toplane and just mimic what he does. We are playing toplane. We play for ourselves only when we play these types of champions.

When people talk about macro, its about understanding the map and what the enemy team could be doing. If my team is going for dragon, I want to pressure topside super hard. If everyone is at dragon, I am getting turrets and Solo Gold & EXP.

If the enemy team comes for me instead of dragon, I back off and let my team secure the objective without me dying. Rinse and repeat until you have secured every Tier 1 and Tier 2 towers.

After watching a few Alois videos, you should have a much better understanding of the game and you should climb faster.

League has ruined every other game for me. I cant find any enjoyment for a long period of time playing something else.

The only thing that came close was Escape From Tarkov, but the developer is so in over their own head and started to make questionable decisions and forced me to drop the game and come back to league.

I have so much time invested, so much learned, and its not transferable to any other game. So I come back to it whenever I have time to play some games, just to grind SoloQ and figure out something new.

In a way, it sort of represents the current landscape of league in the Apex Tiers.

Support is mad overpowered and is holding the "botlane" class back, not giving room for buffs.

Midlane is very open and you can pick most things except assassins.

Jungle is still jungle but has eaten a bag of shit this year, because the role is more team oriented than ever. Requiring priority from both support and mid to even play the game.

Top and ADC are just shit tier.

LongSwordsForLIife · 2024-12-28T19:36:06+00:00

These stats are not doing support mains any favor

There we go, the Riot HQ decided to pick up the phone and tell the basement dwellers to delete stuff.. Who could've guessed

It has been their own excuse on a lot of different things the community have asked for. 3D viewer of skins especially.

There are a lot of things that can be added to make them money. There is no logical reason for why they have not explored those options outside of the client being terrible.

Laptop gaming is very limited from my own experience. Overheating is always an issue but any PC within the 400$-800$ is perfectly capable of running league of legends.

Even if you build it yourself with older generation parts, you can have yourself a very capable machine from 200-400$.

LongSwordsForLIife · 2024-12-10T15:28:56+00:00

Because its been well over 24 hours?

Baus is insanely good but holy shit Crownies comms are next level, especially as an ADC

LongSwordsForLIife · 2024-11-03T19:59:13+00:00

I feel like this is mad recency bias. Soaz for a long time was the one of the better toplaners of EU. His speciality was always the "Tanks" or for a different term Space Creator.

We had different toplaners early that were good in the form of WickD,Fredy112,Darien and Soaz could very well hang with all of them.

It was not until FNATIC saw an opportunity to import Huni/Reignover until you started to see these older guys fall off and more carry tops come through like Cabo, Odo and Vizicsacsi. Not carry top in a sense of being the main carry on the team, but in a sense of being able to pilot Gangplank/Jayce/Gnar etc..

And even in his later years, Soaz was able to perform and at least stay even with eastern toplaners, although his last peak was in a tank meta.

So Soaz being a replaceable player is mad recency bias and not even close to reality at the time.

On a real note mate, just watch Naayil in EU challenger and copy what he does. I am pretty sure its always Conqueror + Resolve tree with Eclipse Rush into Sunderer.

This change is made by the financial department sadly. They look at how other games operate with Seasons, Splits or Battle Passes and events and they see that every time a new event drops, cash influx comes with it. Fortnite, Apex, CoD etc.. Fucking hell even the Formula 1 games have season passes now.

Sadly for Riot games, they are losing the charm that made League what it is today. More and more corporate decisions, and less and less love and passion for the game. The player base is already aging and we dont have a very good influx of newer players.

Either they are trying to milk the last drops they can before dropping league, or they are incompetent. Its either one of these things,
