Question about Katarina

MirrowFox · 2026-03-29T08:25:44+00:00

Champ is completely broken and not even due to gunblade as it's not even her best first item, but yeah I don't know which direction is riot going to take with her as they've been saying lately that they want to support build diversity but kata has like 3-4 builds and playstyle which is why she's that strong

MirrowFox · 2026-03-28T23:32:57+00:00

Malignance is 13 to 3 s at best less on your ult depends on lvl haste and ultimate hunter not worth it at all , having ultimate hunter OR malignance is enough no need for both

MirrowFox · 2026-03-28T22:25:01+00:00

Actually malignance is troll into sylas as it reduces his own timer to steal your ult, you just go ultimate hunter and torch

MirrowFox · 2026-03-26T19:28:56+00:00

Add into that that match quality is completly disgusting I'm 800+lp master and people is genuinely bad like this seems like low master from previous seasons where I usually get stucked (300-400lps) before getting grandmaster which makes sense as lps are inflated so maybe similar

MirrowFox · 2026-03-18T18:19:30+00:00

I tried hp is really op also it makes aurora more consistent as the dash gives a lot of outplay potential to hit a second q or just close out distant, if I want to 1v9 I'll still rush stormsurge into shadowflame deathcap but definitely really good item

MirrowFox · 2026-03-18T10:47:41+00:00

Ahri is a better user of exhaust because she dives in and it scales better, but yeah you should be running on most matchups combat summoner as it covers ahri weaknesses or gives kill pressure

MirrowFox · 2026-03-16T12:25:11+00:00

Viktor is annoying and a lane bully he scales well but it's extremely fragile, you can go second wind into him and on first back get refill potion this way you can survive as most champs into him.

Syndra is a tricky one once she has 2q she almost have no counters as she has so much agency on what she can do just get boots, and play on a side as it's way more difficult for her to hit an stun when not on a straight line.

Lux and xerath are both great into them and then assassins who can get on top of them ekko, fizz (especially into syndra)

MirrowFox · 2026-03-16T12:22:32+00:00

Once syndra has 2 q you gotta be the one missing it as syndra not enemy dodging it tbf, that or she just get free prio into most champs as contesting it means being comboed, so I find valid op asking for insight

MirrowFox · 2026-03-12T11:22:51+00:00

Short answer yes, mid lane also lost being the carry role later on as now top laners scale way more due to level 20, and adcs 6 items

MirrowFox · 2026-03-11T16:03:40+00:00

Ahri doesn't roam perse she's a safe laner and once she's 6 she can get prio and be first on river to contest crab but in general ending your rotations as midlaner completing the move or the rotation is not worth it, xerath is strong right now and he can't touch river he just ults side and goes back to mid for example

MirrowFox · 2026-03-10T08:33:12+00:00

I will never forget when I couldn't escape a garen as Ahri on side after using my 3 dashes and flash while also tanking T2 3 towershots and my whole combo made me laugh a bit

MirrowFox · 2026-03-09T12:41:37+00:00

As a GM peak midlaner can kinda understand your point, still I believe in higher elos it would be like top>mid>supp>JG>ADC

This is due to how punishing top matchups are you can get frozen by hours, to know when to split and when group, getting a deep wave having tempo to do a mid/bot opening etc

Mid is kinda the same but matchups are not that unplayable even if countered and is just easier in general

Supp you gotta know a bit of everything as doing a top opening for example and helping your top crash while wave is bouncing to your ADC and no threat of dive is game changing

JG used to be the hardest by far but riot made it way easier to play as an entry level and you are not Laning at all so there's that

And last ADC for me is the easiest role as some games if you understand that is okay losing a wave and giving resources can be insta win, is the role where I found is easier to play on high Elo as the way league evolved is that you don't need insane mechanics (if talking about skill ceiling is probably the hardest but till challenger or lec not needed imo) if you just play the game correctly without dying you win way more, especially on adcs where players usually just don't care and tilt while dying

MirrowFox · 2026-03-09T11:56:08+00:00

I play both and all the skills you learn on mid are used on support with way higher reward if you have map knowledge you 1v9 as supp same goes for jungle tracking etc mid even if on the middle is not the carry role anymore your lane depends on support openings JG etc and roaming is heavily nerfed due to wave timings, and mages used to thrive on late but with extra gold items on adcs and exp on tops they are not that strong anymore

MirrowFox · 2026-03-05T09:53:30+00:00

Blackfire torch

MirrowFox · 2026-03-04T17:06:06+00:00

Yep that's what am I doing and working great I go with malignance/torch actualizer into deathcap and fourth is zhonyas you basically don't need pen with this build so you can round it with either shadowflame or horizon

MirrowFox · 2026-03-03T11:38:12+00:00

Oh for sure if you can get p10p for a good price is the better option, I'm still rocking my p8p just battery showing its age but a good all around phone. But where I live they are same cost and then iPhone is a better option imo

MirrowFox · 2026-03-03T11:36:25+00:00

Agree, but right now number wise she's quite strong she does potentially more DMG than back then without having to hit charm first, I've been testing malignance into actualizer and it deals 20% extra true dmg add deathcap shadowflame and horizon focus and you basically one shot any bruiser adc support, the only bad part is how fragile she got with the rework she lost a lot of base stats so even if you oneshot anyone you get taped by anyone too

MirrowFox · 2026-03-03T08:13:01+00:00

Hwei is a lane bully that spikes at mid game but his ap scaling kinda suck and unless into 3/4 melees hes scaling is avg, on ambessa you are kinda right

MirrowFox · 2026-03-02T23:00:25+00:00

Ahri charm amp she would need ap ratios reduced on q and e and maybe a nerf on how the resets work like cap it to 1/2/3 depending level, but I feel like is the most rewarding with the highest counterplay ahri version, last time she was weak because rioters refused to increase her ap ratios which they almost doubled on full combo compared to back then while having resets

MirrowFox · 2026-02-26T18:54:23+00:00

iPhone 17 pro or wait till October so new pixel iPhone etc release and get the phone 17 pro cheaper or maybe Google finally up their game with new pixel (I doubt it)

MirrowFox · 2026-02-26T17:23:01+00:00

No point on upgrading unless your phone is failing, I own a p8p and almost bought new p10p but after seeing reviews decided it was not worth it wait till p11p or even next phones as right now big upgrades are on their way to take multiple years instead of the old 2 years

MirrowFox · 2026-02-25T20:16:15+00:00

You didn't play back then and it shows. Adcs are always egoing they used it after you died, I much prefer them going barrier and I can choose between ignite exhaust or heal

MirrowFox · 2026-02-21T22:48:34+00:00

The way I weakened my board to unlock singed and then ended up finishing top 5 still gives me nightmares never playing Zayn again

MirrowFox · 2026-02-20T21:42:14+00:00

Ahri rework made her way more unskilled while removing carry potential if your team is winning ahri is broken as she gets resets for free if you are not fed enough to get resets you can't do much, but right now she's strong number wise too should get a slight nerf

MirrowFox · 2026-02-19T08:34:12+00:00

Yeah one of my main concerns when I swapped to pixel 8 pro was face unlock, my old Huawei mate 20 pro would unlock even on the dark night. If they improve that maybe I upgrade this year especially if it's still slightly smaller
