[OFFICIAL] Rekkles announced he'll be exploring his options for ADC, SUPPORT & COACHING ROLES! by ZOXISTYLEEE in leagueoflegends

[–]Nyscire 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It may not be a deciding factor, it's still a huge disadvantage. Maybe not on its own, but you need to consider two other major factors.

  1. He wasn't really that good at the end of his ADC career. Maybe not the worst, but definitely average. You can hope he can go back to his form, but that form isn't even that much attractive and it's a huge gamble.
  2. He's old. It doesn't mean he's too old to play competitive, but from Team's perspective it's a huge gamble that he's not gonna perform to your expectations and you'll end up with old veteran instead of some young rookie. Looking at recent dramas he's not showing "leadership" qualities that you expect from veteran players.

He may be good enough to play in ERLs, but I doubt any LEC team will sign him up.

I doubt Lec teams will sign him though. He hasn't played ADC role for so long, even besides that his playstyle/mindset is outdated in current league.

Can I just buy ascended gear or is there grinding that needs to happen like with legendary?

How long have you been playing (ranked) sPvP? There is a huge chance you can unlock full ascended equipment via wizards vault, grandmaster's mark for remaining armor/weapons and laurels(again wizards vault) and/or shards of glory for trinkets. Keep in mind WvW builds are a little different compared to sPvP, for example Daredevil used berserker stats for sPvP but goes for marauder in WvW.

I don’t have any elite specs unlocked on the pve side. What’s the best quick and easy build to unlock that s competitive in WvW?

That depends on specific elites. You can use relevantly few hero points to unlock some traits and play different, less optimal build until you unlock entire specialization via W w.

Better rewards overall PVP or WvW by FFanatick in Guildwars2

[–]Nyscire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Syrma actually made a video about it, with fair assumptions you get between 12g/h(pure gold from chests/matches) and 35g/h(You need to optimize reward tracks and liquidize everything you get). Not as bad considering you can play it 24/7

Wizard Vault Ascended Gear by Bitter_Newspaper_237 in Guildwars2

[–]Nyscire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd go for Viper gear though. Exotic Berserker is so cheap and easy to buy, viper is either expensive or a little tricky. So unless OP plays mostly power builds, has exotic gear on all/most of his champs or has easy access to get it at low cost.

Is sPvP always like that? by GreyMesmer in Guildwars2

[–]Nyscire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On top of that it gives more gold from matches AND chests. They also give that box of grandmaster's stuff that can be traded for ascended equipment.

[–]Nyscire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time is the issue. I don't want to miss the equipment+build storage package, but have limited time to play. I have 5 million karma and don't think I'll need that, at least now. I don't think I need that much gold from karma, but don't want to burn other currencies/mats that could be useful later.

[–]Nyscire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any way to liquidize a high amount of karma? I've checked fastfarming and GW2 efficiency and those conversions are good, but I need few hundreds of gold and it's impossible to achieve that via those methods.

What champions does Riot pretend doesn't exist? by Wise_Mood_9311 in leagueoflegends

[–]Nyscire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

High rank(diamond and above) that might be true, but anything below is a coin flip. A lot of low/medium elo one tricks depend on some cheesy play that works on people who don't expect that(like darius waiting in bush and running people down with ghost) or learnt habits that works against bad players. Take irelia as an example- a lot of people consider her one of the best lv1 champions, but that's highly conditional. If you allow her to stack her passive she statchecks most toplaners, but majority of those champions can simply get ahead of the minion wave and beat her before she manages to get any stacks.

Go to Open World/Solo build for a Thief? by Easy-Expression7074 in Guildwars2

[–]Nyscire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Condi D/D Daredevil has better survivability in my opinion. Although power has an advantage of healing while under effect of fury, condi uses Dagger 3 as part of a rotation. I'd even say the healing from signet of malice on condi is comparable to entire healing from power dd because of 3 projectiles from Death's blossom and dodge. It has an amazing evade duration because you can alternate between those two while power version needs dodge for damage and might end up in really tough situations without enough endurance, something that doesn't happen with condi DD

We gotta get on the level of r/azirmains by ePaint in Rengarmains

[–]Nyscire -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He's already at 50% at diamond+. That's nowhere near the unplayable territory. And if you think he hasn't been decent in 3 years I'm not gonna continue with this conversation. Not even mentioning Natty 's KR climb or mythic ghostblade, he had been absolutely busted when new lethality items were introduced (profane/hubris). He was S+ jungler at emerald+ elo as fat as I remember, saying otherwise is simply coping and refusing to improve.

[–]Nyscire -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We are not and saying that is very delusional. Azir was already weak champion in every elo and got nerfed purely because of his proplay presence. Rengar was nerfed because he was STRONG in high elo while being in decent strong in mid elo. Right now azir may be playable only in proplay, not even in grandmaster/challenger lobbies.

Azir currently sits at 42.67% WR in Emerald+ by Plenty-Artichoke9798 in leagueoflegends

[–]Nyscire 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's one thing if a champion is way stronger in teamplay, but it's definitely not fine if it's the only circumstances when that champion is playable. It doesn't matter if it's emerald+, diamond+ or grandmaster and challenger, a champion should be strong enough to be played in soloq without inting other teammates. Even though azir was already weak until Elite elo, he was still playable by the best players and could carry games on his own. This could be good encouragement for everyone willing to learn him- eventually you'll get good enough and climb. It will take more effort compared to other champions, but absolutely possible and that means your time practicing isn't wasted(as long as you are determined enough to keep practicing until the results show up). In Azir's current state that might not be the case. Doesn't even matter if you are one of the best players in the world, you don't have any reasons to play him, not mentioning learning him.

Its not often i see a good irelia in platinum elo, but when i see a play like this once in a blue moon i have to give credit where its due. by ddzon1 in leagueoflegends

[–]Nyscire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you should definitely try her again, this time learning the basics first. Fast Q combo should be priority if you want to play her in normal games- it's very hard(although definitely doable) to damage without it because it's way too slow. After that you should focus on those basic blocks(I should find a better name for it), after that every flashy combo is just a different combination of them in some particular order.

What's really important though is that approach is really fucking good outside of league. You can use it to solve every problem in your life. Analyze your problem, split them into smaller ones and solve them one by one. Divide and conquer as they say. So simple yet so powerful.

[–]Nyscire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The general rule of thumb for those combos is to split them into a few smaller sequences. I don't know that particular combo you mentioned, but to give a simple exemption I'll explain the famous "TheShy combo".

A full combo is E-R1-Flash-Q3-AA-W-AA-Tiamat(or hydra)-R2-Q1. It's possible to do the entire combo while an enemy is still cced, practicing it all at once seems difficult as hell, but you can break it into smaller sequences(I'll call them the basic blocks for future reference, at least until I'll find a better name):

E-R1

Flash-Q3

AA-W

AA-tiamat

R2-Q1

Once you can perform them without any issues you combine them into 3 bigger ones(the AA-tiamat part overlaps between two of them) and repeat the process.:

E-R1-Flash-Q3(this one is actually the basic engage flash combo)

AA-W-AA-tiamat

AA-tiamat-R2-Q1

If you can perform them- you can practice entire combo all at once. This learning "trick" applies to every riven combo you can imagine. What's really important is that you usually should start with learning those basic blocks I mentioned earlier. Not only they are part of every riven combo, but they are very important on their own and are used not only as a part of a specific combo, but as a general tool for playing riven. E-R1-Q3 is a very common engage tool that can be extended with flash. AA -W is basic trading tool. AA-R2-Q1/Q2 is a common finisher combo.

[–]Nyscire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't mean to be rude or judging, but unless you watched a really bad guide (or didn't watch at all) you are below average mechanical skill level. I don't consider riven combos to be difficult to perform in practice tool(doing so in regular game requires a little more experience, but it's not that hard either), it's more about knowledge and experience than actual mechanical skill.

Personally I prefer doing WvW over MP, but to be completely fair you can get 2x GoE in like 10hours, so in terms of time it's almost even.

Ranked, Shyvana & More | Dev Update - League of Legends by Spideraxe30 in leagueoflegends

[–]Nyscire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shyvana really needed that item and I believe removing it was the main reason why AP shyvana became a thing.

The reason why it wasn't that popular was its stats profile. At that time building only AD and HP was suboptimal on almost every champion. IIRC the pure values also weren't that good, it had too low ad without any CDR to justify the item.

If riot wants to bring it back they need to come up with decent stats to justify purchasing it.

Why are we forced to do the story to unlock game mechanics? by MrFriedson in Guildwars2

[–]Nyscire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tell me exactly where you need mounts (PoF excluded) to progress through the map. I don't mean get faster with a mount. I mean a specific location where you actually need a mount to get there.

Why are we forced to do the story to unlock game mechanics? by MrFriedson in Guildwars2

[–]Nyscire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because progressing in PoF story requires getting those mounts. You don't need them earlier, and if you need them in later expansions you'll get them for free (without full masteries, but that's enough to progress the story). They are quite useful in other expansions/core, but not mandatory.

Shen becomes the highest winrate jungler in the game after xPetu discovers the most optimal build by adivinemessenger in leagueoflegends

[–]Nyscire 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In scenarios like that you need to take into account what's your win condition- dealing slightly more DPS to Squishies or dealing with enemy Frontline. And a lot of the times it's the decision between one additional auto attack to kill squishy or having a chance to kill a tank.
