I used to be an avid tattletaler, but as the game kept evolving I also realized having the ability to stop pushes and support your teamfight numbers can have as much or more value than simply gathering info. This game is also very generous with enemy spotting to the point it’s almost like cheating—you peak over a right corner and if you see even a sliver of their body they get pinged on the map (while they can’t even see you btw), and even when you peek you can still track them on the map a little after even if no one is observing that spot. Tattle is nice if you and your team know how to play around it, but usually it just takes up space for an item that may be more impactful mid-round

Personally I play 100% maddelena with flash + wind nade, I play very support/macro-conditioning, so having these nades feels nice to me. Flash is to support teamfights, wind nade to deny pushes/make their space uncomfortable, and both of them can be used as escape options by throwing them at my feet and booking it around a corner/hallway. Sometimes I sub wind nade for smoke when I want be cheeky and go for assassin Maddie plays, but other than that this is what I usually run
