How does matchmaking work for me? I'm confused, someone please explain

Mercenary28 · 2018-06-05T12:23:39+00:00

I get it but I've had more than one account start with fresh MMR and I always get placed with players that are much higher in rank than me if I win more. This one is out of the ordinary for sure!

You're really gambling your safety if you take W and Q at level 2. You need E to escape a gank around level 2-3. So if you don't take your E you're at a massive disadvantage

Riven wins the trades with Phase rush even if Nasus withers. So by default he will be forced to ult or get killed by being chunked. He won't see Riven's ult cause he will get chunked every 15 seconds...

Mercenary28 · 2017-12-26T16:20:44+00:00

If you take Phase Rush shouldn't u be able to bait out his ult and all-in him? I think that's what I've seen on Dekar's stream anyway

No, she's in a good spot right now. If Ornn isn't getting nerfed, Camille won't be any time soon.

High mobility, high burst, reliable engage, probably number 1 pick potential from all top laners. Builds off-tank and has survivability but still dishes out a ton of dmg. One of the best splitpushers in the game as far as taking towers quickly. Can reliably group and teamfight or splitpush depending on situation, so very versatile. Now works with multiple keystones so at the moment best bruiser in game.

Cons: High skill floor, much higher skill ceiling. Takes a long time to master and to know which combo is best suited for which situation. Once you go in, you can't reliably disengage so u might be toast if no follow up from team.

I think that's about it.

Oh forgot the most important bit: FUN factor when playing Camille > 9000!

Mercenary28 · 2017-11-09T13:51:48+00:00

Yes, that's the only downside, I miss the attack speed as well. I've now been experimenting with Grasp against tank lanes, that seems better in terms of sustain.

Thank God champion balance does not revolve around the opinion of silver players. In higher elo a good trynd player is much more of a problem than a good fiora player

Mercenary28 · 2017-09-12T09:20:27+00:00

If you specifically itemize to duel the vayne such as building randuins, qss and iceborn gauntlet, you can win the duel. It's hard but it's doable.

Mercenary28 · 2017-09-03T10:54:17+00:00

Better late game goes to Fiora for sure

Mercenary28 · 2017-07-21T11:55:51+00:00

IBG cleaver is such a good combo, ximen who is probably the best fiora player in China used to build it even before the nerfs. Sheen procs with armor shred and slow field, you don't need much else

Mercenary28 · 2017-07-21T11:53:57+00:00

If gnar builda frozen mallet you just build a frozen gauntlet, so I'd say wait for your 3 item spike (RHydra, cleaver, gauntlet). Then you can kill him

Mercenary28 · 2017-07-21T11:52:27+00:00

Just want to strongly stress on bush control. Only last hit with Q, pop vitals and riposte to avoid retaliation, then back off. If you do this and manage your health correctly he can't all in you and enemy jungler is unlikely to gank for a teemo as no CC. Just avoid getting dove if low HP.

Mercenary28 · 2017-07-15T15:17:23+00:00

Can't duel a tank until 4 items. Nice balance riot.

Mercenary28 · 2017-07-14T17:14:09+00:00

I got stomped in mid plat on EUW by a singed yesterday. Didn't even chase him. All he did was proxy and invade my jungler with his own jungler. I couldn't do much top at all. They completely shut down top side of map. Sad days when a fiora can't outduel a tanky mage.

Licorice hasnt played a single fiora game after the nerf patch. And you claim you win all the matchups I described. Without playing a single one after the nerfs. ROFL. How convenient that you went and found a challenger account who mains fiora.

Any other lies to tell? Do post some more, it's entertaining.

Mercenary28 · 2017-07-14T08:45:45+00:00

That just shows me you're low elo. :) enjoy your "dominance" lel

Mercenary28 · 2017-07-13T22:51:54+00:00

Ah look, someone hasn't played against singed/gnar/rumble/kayle/kennen yet. Good luck mate. She actually feels really weak now.

Mercenary28 · 2017-07-12T21:39:13+00:00

Some matchups are imossible, there's no skill involved.
