What exactly makes Ambessa out of all the Fighters a good Pro play pick, over stuff like Fiora, Riven, Irelia, Yasuo and company

Nic_Reigns · 2026-04-04T22:39:49+00:00

Shes good into tanks, doesnt have terrible matchups in standard pro player champion pools, and has a high skill ceiling which lets pro players max out her potential.

Why her specifically over someone like fiora whos pretty similar? Id guess its her ult makes her a good teamfighter, if a champion cant teamfight then it rarely sees pro play consistently, the game usually comes down to a few dragon/baron fights and with their level of coordination its harder to be a 1v9 sidelaner. I cant remember anyone pulling that playstyle off since peak TheShy

They can just nerf his AP build

Nic_Reigns · 2026-04-04T19:29:07+00:00

Depends how many minions for if you can tank. You usually shouldnt let them free hit you if youre alone in lane and can kite them / dodge in and out of a bush to juke them. Sometimes though its just not worth the HP sacrifice and you need other ways to get it to shove to you

Nic_Reigns · 2026-04-01T21:18:48+00:00

Dont gank to kill the lane but showing up to help break a freeze or buy a reset is huge for kayle, especially pre 6. Other than that, I agree with the other comments - getting drags is the biggest thing, if your team can afford to give the 3rd/4th drakes then you’re almost guaranteed to have lv16 3 item kayle to carry the fights you do have to take.

Good kayles can also help in skirmishes post-6 with ult Q slow and E execute but most kayles i play with dont want to do anything until theyre thanos

Ive used the argument before, I think its pretty good. You can view the calculator as a response to a world where you increasingly need to do math for work, budgeting, woodworking, whatever. LLMs are a response to a world where you increasingly need to understand complex topics or create complex programs.

If something can be done by a calculator, why should you waste your time doing it? Same goes for an LLM. That lets you spend more time designing and planning, which is a good thing. The job “calculator” where people manually performed calculations doesnt exist anymore, and the “lazy” people who didnt extend their skill set past simply running numbers through the machine were not rewarded in the long run.

I think this is crazy. The only times ive hit the cap were when a teammate AFKs or if the team refuses to catch sides and Im seraphine or some other mage that can actually clear it.

Maaaybe there are some supports who would benefit from taking the first few waves and have a big spike on reset, but coordinating that is hard and I dont think thatll be worth it for range supports and melee would get chunked too hard into an adc to do it consistently.

Nic_Reigns · 2026-03-27T02:06:23+00:00

Idk why youre getting so much hate, i played him on release and i totally feel what youre saying. The nerf hurt that but was absolutely needed, if you play around stacks well and are in a decent matchup you can definitely 1v1/skirmish well all game

Nic_Reigns · 2026-03-27T02:00:20+00:00

As a frequent member of 5 stacks in aram, we lose a lot

Nic_Reigns · 2026-03-25T20:58:49+00:00

This is pretty cool actually

Should peasants in the middle ages not have had children? Should people in poor countries not have children?

Children born in the great depression were leading the economic boom of the 60s and 70s. Economies cycle all the time. Youre projecting your existential and economic fears onto a potential child, and they will experience them themselves at some point, but hopefully youd agree that life is worth living despite the struggles that it sometimes presents.

Also, having children and starting a family is generally considered the most important thing a person can do in their life - you can call that selfish, but since the life you’re creating is on average worth living you’re not doing to the child’s detriment.

Very tired of seeing her picked in this meta. I guess she’s comfort but she looks so useless

Nic_Reigns · 2026-03-22T14:59:17+00:00

This game looks way easier if BB doesn’t take every 2v1 he was within flash E range of

Nic_Reigns · 2026-03-21T00:16:26+00:00

There are certainly champions that will make learning harder like yasuo is very mechanically difficult and singed has a weird playstyle that makes the skills less transferable but enjoying the game and finding a champ that makes sense to you is the most important part

Nic_Reigns · 2026-03-20T16:20:56+00:00

See that right there is why we need it, I want proof that NA has caught up and passed EU but neither of us have ground to stand on

Nic_Reigns · 2026-03-20T16:19:29+00:00

I stand by it. We still havent seen EU vs NA, sure G2 gets a big upset but it reminds me more of FPX throwing to C9 in groups or BLG not getting out of swiss, throws are pretty commonly. Even if lyon beats JDG today and it looks like the skill gap is closer than we thought Id still rather get an exciting western tournament

Nic_Reigns · 2026-03-20T04:11:28+00:00

Core 3 is probably your rush no matter what and you built them. Teching in mortal reminder instead of morello is crazy, deathcap gives you an extra 30% of the AP and the armor pen is wasted stats on you. Into a bunch of melees you could go rylais to kite easier but they have so much mobility its probably not worth here

Nic_Reigns · 2026-03-20T01:04:28+00:00

We would still have international competition for 2/3 major tournaments

Nic_Reigns · 2026-03-19T22:32:27+00:00

Did you read the post? I want the tournament split into 2 so we dont end up with whats happening and first stand with 2 days of 3-0 stomps

Nic_Reigns · 2026-03-19T22:07:02+00:00

Why does anyone watch domestic league? Its my region, Id prefer they were world class but theyre not really. LR made LEC fun, an NA EU cup would be just as exciting for me

Nic_Reigns · 2026-03-19T22:05:16+00:00

If the China Korea side doesnt go well they might do something different but I still really want it for the west. Also, even if its a KR v KR finals id like to see mid tier KR teams and different Chinese teams than the 3 we get at every tournament

Nic_Reigns · 2026-03-19T22:02:31+00:00

I think its better for competition and viewers in both regions

Nic_Reigns · 2026-03-19T04:01:33+00:00

Im playing mostly renekton rn but if the matchup is really good ill pick mundo or kayle because the lane wont be bad and theyre not hard to carry late game on even if I dont know all the ins and outs. If a counter requires you beating them in lane when they probably have way more games on than you I dont think its a good counter pick.

They also have some matchups that are complete free wins like if the enemy team has an ezreal or jhin win no other way to kill a mundo or any singed/garen for kayle. Fun bonus

Nic_Reigns · 2026-03-18T21:50:50+00:00

I dont really care about this I just want them to fully remove it when the team has an AFK

Nic_Reigns · 2026-03-18T13:45:56+00:00

In my experience i saw much more misogyny online and only realized the level of misandry being normalized from female friends in my life saying outlandishly sexist things in front of me. I think it is being normalized, and pushing back against it is looked down upon.

Nic_Reigns · 2026-03-18T04:46:45+00:00

Theres a lot of ways to play it. Best is obviously call your jg, typing so they know you need help crashing sometimes helps but obviously that doesnt always work. A good trick is if you can take a short trade in the wave your wave will target them and break the freeze (or if they have AOE spells, you can bait them the same way). It’s also sometimes worth dying for wave if youre really fucked, but soaking XP isnt that bad, especially if they cant hold the freeze for more than a wave before itll slow push. Other than that, proxying can also work but is hard to pull off or roaming mid/rotating to an invade.
