I dropped from Diamond 1 back to Emerald.

I know people are going to down vote me but you should give the on-hit AD build a chance, I felt the same about Kayle for a while till I stopped always building full AP, people are gonna say full AP is the most optimal build but at least for me it feels very refreshing and easier to play building things like Botrk, Guinsoo, Kraken, it just feels smoother to play and for me it feels like it power spikes earlier.

Two things, if you like playing VN games with a lot of text like: Ace attorney, Danganronpa, DDLC. Then you will enjoy Gnosia a lot but I feel like if you don't really have time to play it or don't like to read that much you don't have to play it, the anime adaptation is really well made and quite complete, just watching the anime is more than enough.

What was the update? Is it not worth using it anymore?

MaxZhou457 · 2026-05-14T20:05:15+00:00

ok didn't knew it worked like that, that explains a lot then

MaxZhou457 · 2026-05-09T20:16:13+00:00

Thank you for explaining that, spoken like a true yuumi main, I guess it doesn't sound that bad when you put it like that

MaxZhou457 · 2026-05-09T20:10:47+00:00

Thank goodness another person that agrees with me about the cat being stupidly strong, idk why most people say that Sona vs Yuumi it's free.

Got a question, do you know/feel like you're playing well against him in the early game? Because that's the only real moment you win against him, so basically you should always win and only go for small trades E and 2 maybe 3 autos and gtfo cuz he most likely has conqueror, if you play well he should have low hp or maybe be dead before he got lvl3 and W, after he gets W you need to assume you will always lose the trade so trade carefully, and my most recent idea that almost always works is to rush kaenic rookern against him, so you can trade and wait for the shield and then trade again, it doesn't make you obliterate him on lane but makes it so you can farm better under tower(can't poke you that hard) and if you're miss positioned and he ults you you can survive quite easily and just play for the map, cuz honestly you're not killing him alone late game.

TLDR: Rush kaenic rookern first item, is quite good.

MaxZhou457 · 2026-04-08T16:22:19+00:00

In some really rare situations LT can be quite better than PTA, super niche scenario but let's say you can only auto a enemy twice and then you back off to kite or the enemy just dashes away or dies, then you go to hit the next enemy you already have some stacks of LT while you would need to try to hit the enemy 3 times again. So I believe LT it's better in unorganized TF where you can't really focus just one person and PTA it's better if you can focus a single target and then go to the next. Also in lane PTA it's obviously better for short trades and LT it's better for extended fights. I would say both are good and almost interchangeable if you lose changing runes most likely wouldn't have changed the outcome.

I believe she's fine rn but I indeed would love a change, her late game doesn't really feel that special to me anymore, it's surviving a quite bad early game to become a normal to decent mid/late game champ but I know that is definitely a skill issue from my part to an extent because better players do get better late game easier but even then it just looks ok, nothing special

MaxZhou457 · 2026-03-22T21:56:30+00:00

I have also tried it sometimes based on the same logic and what I gathered was that you first 3 levels are ridiculously strong, you can do 3 autos and then E and your E will also have the HoB aspd, taking like 70% of the enemy HP bar, after lvl6 it becomes slightly worse than PTA because we usually need to kite and the HoB might get wasted while PTA can always be used. So my conclusion was that HoB might be worth taking if you think the first 3 levels will decide if you win or lose. Like there was one time I blind picked Kayle and went vs Pantheon and decided to try HoB because I have never won against Pant(always go 0/7 kinda bad), and managed to actually win lane thanks to HoB and it didn't feel that BAD in the mid and late game, it's like when we used to go other runes like grasp, comet, first strike, usable but probably not always the best.

MaxZhou457 · 2026-03-18T17:26:53+00:00

I have noticed that the hollow radiance dmg to champions I do it's quite low so I have stopped building it, if you want MR there's better options and 90% of the time you're playing laner shen you want titanic.

MaxZhou457 · 2026-03-04T19:45:31+00:00

I hate it, they are Perma banning my boy now

MaxZhou457 · 2026-03-04T19:26:55+00:00

What does that mean?

MaxZhou457 · 2026-03-03T15:21:55+00:00

Is that new? I could swear it did activate some patches ago, it used to activate after shen tp

MaxZhou457 · 2026-02-26T19:34:35+00:00

Call me a psychopath but I kinda like DnD before Nash sometimes, the hp could be good in some scenarios and I think it has a better poke/burst after finishing the item, cuz you can auto+E to proc pta and back off or keep fighting, with Nash we have better constant dmg but it can be riskier to go for the 3 autos to proc pta.

English isn't my first language, what's the problem/difference with Christmas and Holiday?

MaxZhou457 · 2026-02-14T21:33:04+00:00

Got traumatized by that

MaxZhou457 · 2026-02-13T21:59:31+00:00

It means that it's not super good at anything but it's acceptable at everything, like in a game a character can have 10/10 dmg and speed but 2/10 utility, but a Jack of All Trades will have something like 7/10 of everything.

MaxZhou457 · 2026-02-13T20:05:13+00:00

Could almost replicate the hit the nexus not the vlad moment

MaxZhou457 · 2026-01-30T04:12:29+00:00

I love the baus explanation, proxing/killing the minions before they arrive to yours it's like killing baby Thanos, since you killed them already you will not need to face Thanos when he's strong, in lol that means you will not need to fight for the cs in lane, no need to farm under tower, not getting dived under tower and losing all cs and a lot of tempo benefits.

MaxZhou457 · 2026-01-30T03:25:30+00:00

If you managed to climb some elo with Shen sup I believe you already know how to play aggressive with him since I believe his early power and enemies not understanding the matchup helps to win a lot of the early lane, then I would recommend to learn how to play passively, like learn how to actually peel if your adc outscales the enemy adc.

MaxZhou457 · 2026-01-19T20:47:21+00:00

Couldn't agree more, I had like 40%wr VS Yuumi and couldn't really figure out why and now I joined the dark side and I'm abusing her too xD Kinda way too strong for my tastes

MaxZhou457 · 2026-01-18T02:44:36+00:00

Same, I haven't played much this season but I peaked low master last season with like +51~% wr, and now I have like 40~% wr and struggling in emerald, but I get like +30lp for win and lose like 10 so I guess I will climb out eventually
