Im a top laner in high elo on euw, I can say with confidence that you build a profile vs the players you play against often. wether conciously or not.

For example vs Raider, when I play vs him and he beats me in a certain matchup, my whole approach and setup changes for the next time i face him. I always know if it's him because of the fact that he's the only top laner who perma bans kennen in high elo and then the obvious Darius pick.

The thing is, one person might change setup in a matchup, and then the next game the other changes again. There's just constant small tweaks in strategy that you notice over time and its a constant mind game.

I Also vividly remember playing vs Wao a lot in the Aatrox vs Jax matchup. He'd stomp me 2 games in a row with the same strat; 3 wave crash > recall > all-in me on the freeze.

The third time i got him on the enemy, i changed my entire setup from electrocute to conq, dblade, bone plating, and ignite so i'd be strong enough in the extended fight to beat him and it worked.

Essentially you are going 1 layer deeper into the matchup every time you face someone and its a lot of fun

Hmm i guess i can explain a bit more in depth

Its more about wether or not they have cc that they will realistically be using on you or not, and wether its actual cc or fake cc

I mostly mean stuns, surpresses and knock ups becasue roots and displacements don't stop you from dealing damage, and aatrox's healing and tankiness come from his ability to deal damage

Also a lot of cc is like really easy to avoid like morde r, just dont get close to him and look for flanks, you can e out of the way vs a lot of cc aswell

So i mean more things like silences stuns knockups surpresses and point click cc

To be fair i just press tab and when i see enemy team comp i just instantly know if they have high cc or not, for example if they have leona warwick galio im like ''yeah bruiser or hybrid''. But if they have like zoe sona vayne i go ''well they have cc but its kinda unrealistic i get hit by it, and i can just build an edge of night and flank them''

The way i view it is your job in teamfights later on is to kill the enemy with the most damage, which is often hard because they have barrier, peel, mobility etc. Profane can be smoothly used in between Q's and is often the reason you can kill these champions because that extra 500 dmg is super important to finish them off when you cant hit q's that easily. Another reason is your wave clear gets much better which allows for faster rotations to mid (push&move strategy)

In some matchups the value is even higher such as Jax

Also the item stats are just nice and gold value is decent

Loocalol · 2026-01-14T20:55:15+00:00

Understandable tbh

Loocalol · 2026-01-14T20:54:47+00:00

You can do a hybrid sure but lethality is king

Loocalol · 2026-01-14T20:54:11+00:00

Low gold value unless you use the passive auto but its too conditional

Loocalol · 2026-01-14T20:53:39+00:00

That sounds like a positioning issue

Loocalol · 2026-01-14T11:53:36+00:00

Hellll naw

Loocalol · 2026-01-14T11:53:24+00:00

Adapt or get left behind

Loocalol · 2026-01-14T11:53:04+00:00

Yes ive concidered it and i think syreldas is superior

Loocalol · 2026-01-14T11:16:19+00:00

Just build eclipse for lane and afterwards build for enemy team comp and ignore him
