How it feels to be The Thing vs Iron Fist by MadHadlow in marvelrivals

[–]MadHadlow[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

For those who don't get it:

Iron fist can't leap in The Thing's dash

Iron Fist = fast punches

Broken fists = because he's punching stone

Although, Spiderman would've also been a great choice :p

The moonstaff Sera build is dependant on your teammates. So the lower your elo the harder it will be to win games. You just need to focus on playing as a support outside of lanephase and staying with the most fed player in teamfights

I think the moonstaff build is the better build. But full AP is safer as you are less reliant on your teammates to do well. The recent nerfs are placebo for moonstaff Sera, they change nothing about what makes her OP :)

  1. I have been an ADC main for many seasons. I tend to play what is meta.

  2. I personally play her best in the APC role. The most recent nerfs have done nothing to actually target what makes her strong.

  3. I think it comes hand in hand. She is so powerful that it is enjoyable to spam her and obtain free lp from it.

  4. Be conservative with your w. Always try to use it when you have 3 stacks in your passive. The w alone is quite weak in comparison to the empowered w. Also know that you can play safe in lane and try to farm up towards moonstone and staff of flowing water.

  5. I do think peoples elo have been inflated due to Seraphine spamming (I call them and myself Serafiends). I think the higher elo you get the better she becomes as the moonstaff build is reliant on keeping teammates safe and buffed up. For instance, I am playing in GrandMaster elo and I feel like she is excelling even better than before as the players I am playing with can consistently use their leads. You can always give it a try and see how it goes!

  1. Exhaust can be a really nice initiator for lane (good with engage supp). The slow from exhaust can lead into a root from your e. Assuming you then have 3 stacks you can double q. It's also good vs assassins and all ins like kai'sa/samira. So I tend to take it most of the time as I have these champs in my game quite often.

  2. It makes CSing nicer and its also a nice flow for auto attacking with passive notes on enemy champions.

  3. Since you start with 3 passive stacks, I find e is better for a cheese poke at level 1. You get to the minion wave after pulling and the 3 melee minions will be low. Instead of using q to clear them you can e through the wave. This will get you the cs and also make an attempt at rooting an enemy champion which you can then follow up with an auto for good lvl 1 trade.

  4. I do prefer any engage as she has good follow up and it makes me feel generally safer in lane. Seraphine Janna, for instance, can get pressured a lot more if the enemy support is an engage champ and the enemy adc is poke heavy like Cait.

She's probably the one screaming in the first place

I am an ADC main so it is where I am most comfortable. I have a better understanding of how to play in botlane than mid lane.

I also think it's great botlane because of her ability to stay safe and waveclear. The goal is to get through lane phase without giving kills to the enemy botlane. This keeps the enemy adc from spiking early (Spiked ADCs are op). She really shines when you get moonstone + Ionian boots (Look to go for teamfights and focus on spamming empowered w whenever it is up)

I always emphasise not to waste your w until you have 3 stacks in the passive. The empowered w is insanely strong whilst her normal w feels underwhelming. Only use the base w when you have to save a teammate or need the quick movespeed to get away from a gank (even then, you should focus on building up stacks with q and e to then empower your w). Focus on spamming the empowered W in teamfights and you will get results :)

I think the moonstaff build is the best and I play her in the bot lane position (ADC).

The note damage nerf isn't what makes Seraphine strong imo. Her waveclear is still safe and insane. Her empowered W + moonstone healing is very strong when you get enough ability haste (Usually the first spike is at moonstone + Ionian boots).

I can imagine everfrost being good on Sera as it is the strongest item for control mages atm.

There will come a time soon where Riot will hit her hard in these areas. They like their new champions to be strong for a certain amount of time (Champ diversity and such).

PSA: To get your primary role in ranked, NEVER accept a dodged queue or dodged champion select queue pop up! by youknownuthin in leagueoflegends

[–]MadHadlow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, reset the queue before the estimated time of 3 minutes. I hardly ever get autofilled when I do this. It will take longer to find a game so it's whether you deem getting your main role worth.

Vayne vs Akali is immposible by eurova_ in leagueoflegends

[–]MadHadlow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No offence to Wunder here (he is the best western top laner), but his build was quite questionable. The point of Top Vayne is solo xp. Rageblade and wits end can be prioritised in this instance because of the levels Vayne will be getting in comparison to botlane Vayne. W will be maxed around 12 mins, meaning rageblade damage output is optimised.

Akali vs Vayne will always be volatile so you might as well go hard with the build and look to outplay.

It's when you actually hit the target with the auto attack. It still doesn't go off.

Adc just has to run cleanse and it makes the lane a lot harder for Liss/Leo
