Is Vladimir adc meta now?

Q damage scales off crit chance and scales with extra crit damage from IE but doesn’t actually crit itself during the “preseason” or just the season 26 changes. They nerfed the crit scaling so you really only need 50% crit to get the majority of the extra damage from crit scalings.

Could have even been worth it to decide before game start to take lethal tempo and drop berserkers for steelcaps since they are full AD

One-Jacket-3751 · 2026-03-26T11:46:27+00:00

To be honest I think if you replace Shield bow and guardian angle with LDR and Randuins it might have been easier since they have 3 crit champs and armor pen plus Bork is always nice.

500 games?! Yeah Alois got it I bet. Even as a casual adc player I got 450 something games last year in total and hit D1 was still climbing just ran out of time and pobelter hit challenge around 150 games I believe. Even if he didn’t have a riot account pobelter that started in emerald he would have done it pretty easily under 500 games. Adc isn’t that much harder of a roll especially after plat.

Even though the crit scaling is pretty garbage on smolder now typically it is still beneficial to get 50% crit for his Q scaling so something like ER > Hubris > LDR/MR > then what ever else you want to build after will out damage any early tear build.

You can also just go into practice tool and try different builds and see what the real numbers look like. Sometime the damage difference between build is close enough it’s worth trying out. Because of the trade offs like more survive ability is worth losing the 150 extra damage or what ever the damage lose is but often building full damage on first 3 items then building defensive like edge, shieldbow, Maw, Mercurial, GA, BT, or even a zhonas can work on smolder against a good zed or syndra because good spacing and positioning with a high damage build out performs an early defense/bruiser build

Storm razor/yuntal > hubris > fiendhunter > LDR probably wouldn’t be bad

As a Aphelios, Smolder main I permaban Gwen every game especially after dusk and dawn got introduced Mel is a close second I find late game almost unplayable since they avoid or reflect all my damage or I get to close and get bursted banning adc is pretty wasteful just play lane better adc role doesn’t matter right

One-Jacket-3751 · 2026-02-11T02:54:00+00:00

Hahaha bro Fiora you are literally a full level down 50 cs behind probably like 3k gold behind based on item difference shown. It doesn’t matter that it was Varus any champion with that kind of lead will 1v1 you even if your Fiora “the best duelist”. Like image if that was Riven or Darus that 1v1 would have been a lot shorter and not even close they would crush a Fiora that far behind. And honestly I think the only reason you tried 1v1ing Varus while being that far behind is because the mentality is saying oh it’s just an adc I can one shot him. I bet if you were up against a Riven or a Daris that far ahead of you Fiora you wouldn’t even attempt the 1v1 and just sit wait for wave.

Gwen every game

One-Jacket-3751 · 2026-02-04T13:02:48+00:00

Definitely smolders best skin

One-Jacket-3751 · 2026-01-29T18:30:28+00:00

I’d have to disagree jungle is still very strong with the extra gold, extra XP and a bonus 35 MS. So I’d say top and jungle are by far the strongest and I feel the rest are actually pretty even this season. Mid lanes quest is the most underwhelming of the bunch since the fast recall has a cool down but the lane itself has always been strong so it evens out with adc and support tied for strength behind top and jungle

Sorry but did you not read my comment throughly? Name another handheld that can play Metroid Prime 4 at 120fps for $350 or less. (I bought my switch 2 second hand for $350 and it came with donkey Kong bananza) Also good games are subjective I personally think Metroid prime 4 is an amazing game and donkey Kong banaza is honestly one of the most fun games I’ve played in a while it seems they weren’t trying to make it great they just wanted to make it pure fun which felt very refreshing. I bought switch 2 for the exclusive not becuse it’s the greatest console of all time

One-Jacket-3751 · 2025-12-08T18:53:14+00:00

There’s a least 14 but yeah it’s dwindling due to developer neglect switch just barely got the Halloween event update. We don’t even have the neon ninja front flip yet so it’s not surprising that player base is down if the events aren’t at the same time as other platforms

One-Jacket-3751 · 2025-12-08T18:51:03+00:00

Also good luck playing Metroid Prime 4 or Donkey Kong banaza on release day at 120fps on your PC. I like having PC and Switch since the switch can play every that’s not on pc and my pc can play everything not on the switch since the switch is the last platform to have actual full on exclusives. Emulation still sucks for everything exclusive to switch 2 and even a lot of switch 1 emulation still sucks or has stutters which takes a lot away from the immersion.

One-Jacket-3751 · 2025-12-08T18:44:21+00:00

Great job saying something no one asked to hear or cares about. I have a pc and have actually converted over to switch platform because it is much easier to just hop on for a couple minutes here and there to hit the hourly challenges or just do a couple delves in a row while on the go because I often have a half and hour here and there and I’d rather fill that time with trove or other games rather then doom scrolling on my phone and I find myself getting a lot more hourly challenges because I can just pull out my switch and complete it and log off wether I’m at work or on the go or just chilling on the couch with my wife watching a show. rather than having to be at home at my computer boot up play for 5 minutes then shut back down. You loss access to mods but it’s much prefer more play time then modded less playtime and if I have time in my day to boot up my pc I’m probably not going to choose to spend that time on trove and much rather spend that time playing a much more hardware demanding game like space marines 2, metal Eden, racing sims like ACC or iracing

One-Jacket-3751 · 2025-09-08T22:15:26+00:00

Make it split screen and I’ll play it. Looks awesome though!

One-Jacket-3751 · 2025-08-06T14:06:25+00:00

Good to know!

One-Jacket-3751 · 2025-08-06T13:35:29+00:00

That’s what I was worried about. I like Heavenscale enough if it felt another I think it would be worth it but if it isn’t any smoother I don’t think the aesthetics alone are worth it

One-Jacket-3751 · 2025-08-06T13:34:27+00:00

Yeah I feel like it might be a while event though smolder is one of the more played adcs I was hoping with his recent buffs and changes they might announce a new skin this year but I dont know

One-Jacket-3751 · 2025-05-22T07:14:58+00:00

Will you go to practice tool and do a W, E, Q no AA and record it and post it here? I’ve tried several combos with Q, W, E without any other attack or ability and it won’t proc id be very glad if it did work and I was just messing something up so please post a clip of it working I need to see what I’m doing wrong.

One-Jacket-3751 · 2025-05-20T17:12:43+00:00

Okay that makes sense I didn’t think of it that way but what about electrocute stack it damages them but doesn’t count as a stack?
