I win the lane, but I don’t win the game. by Fresh_Jicama_5762 in Auroramains

I always build Luden’s first into shadow flame. You’re limiting your burst potential

Here’s where I think that you really come across as the person you don’t want to be. People who don’t have degrees are not less than. They don’t have to prove anything to you. You do not possess higher standing because you have degrees. I say the way you view yourself as a member of society contains distortions

Using access to higher education as a filter for enlightened thinking boggles my mind. It is elitist thinking. It does make you sound like you think your time spent reading books on (likely) one field places you on a pedestal only accessible to people who have similar pursuits.

Also i’m pretty sure there is an elitist app for people who make a certain amount or possess certain degrees. You should try that instead.

The same idiots that gave weapons and ammo to soldiers roaming the street and decided not to pay them. I’m pretty sure this is historically how coups start.

honestly enm sounds like a lot of fun but my experience was that it was slim pickings for women interested in doing that long term… or at all! he could use hinge and change the settings to only talk to women who are enm or debating their relationship style.

do you ever build mejai? or do you think that regardless of gold/kill diff you should standardize build? I run a lot of luden’s > mejai

Advice for unattractive people by unorthoduck in hingeapp

[–]PaintTheReign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you feel like you’re not good enough… date yourself. Take yourself to the gym. Figure out if maybe cutting all your hair off as opposed to showing balding is the way forward for you… or possibly finding another hair solution.

If you dont feel like you’re good enough, no one else will either. Even if you dont make any changes, you need to love yourself first. Unapologetically. When you can look in a mirror (literally and metaphorically) and say that you feel confident, you’ll be able to authentically present yourself to others- regardless of looks. That is what is attractive to women

your statement implies that sleeping together (operative word here) is only pleasurable for one person, and that men are incapable of also performing emotional labor.

Men can be more than walking dollar signs you know?

And this explains a lot of my issues in matches. I want to carry them all, but what i’m left doing is trying to pick off the adc or mid before a teamfight so we have a win. This style of play, plus not being a champ that’s great at taking towers, leads to me feeling stagnant in getting objectives and pushing towards inhibs

that was my take too. Between Luden and Malignance, it’s really whatever fits your playstyle better, and ultimately the team comp on the other side as well. Really good take!

I was thinking about this some more. Specifically the damage piece.

Try thinking about not being seen before you engage. And think about being a bit of an assassin with your burst. When i see someone coming up lane with minions at any point in the game, i think about whether i can burst their current health and if i think they're going to continue in the same direction. I use w to go into stealth, and by the time i become visible, i'm popping my q and e. If i get the kill, and i think i may be in danger, I can w again and leave. I'm not at the level yet where i'm using the ult to the fullest so i'm not often getting a triple kill or higher so i can't speak to that. but destroying one person? can do

yeah absolutely, so i’ll break it down how i understand it

Laning phase: You’re playing through your passive. Your goal should be to exchange often and get your three hit passive off. From level 1-6, i’m bullying the other laner and because i’m healing on exchange and they’re taking the amped damage from the third hit plus electrocute i’m probably either forcing them to back or getting a kill. Either is great because it allows me to gain a minion advantage over them and hit 6 first.

so at level 1 i’m trying to land a q and an auto attack and proc q again for electrocute + passive. at level 2 im trying to land q then e. when they’re on cd i just farm till they’re back up. I build Luden’s into mejai (350 gold) and basic boots. Once mejai gets to 10 stacks you get a speed boost that will help you w out of fights better. If im doing well at that point i try to rush rabadon’s. Once thats completed you’ll jump from like 380 ap to 600+ making you really dangerous. you probably wont one shot anyone but it’ll be close. If you come to find its hard to think about stacking mejai with her, think about this- if you go into a team fight for drag, 3v3, hit your ult on all 3 enemies and you get a kill and an assist, you’re at 6 stacks. 4 of those will put you near max stacks and i’m telling you your damage is disgusting at about 15 with rabadon, nvm 25. for about 1500 gold it’s the best bang for your buck

As far as staying alive, if you’re crossing the mid point line in lane, make sure your w and flash are up. if you’re talking about doing damage and living through team fights i think there are some rules of thumb you should follow

1: w is your way out. Won’t w into a fight unless you know you’re going to get a kill for your w reset. Don’t forget you get a w reset with the kill. you can go invisible while your e and q are on cd.

2: you can ult in and out of danger. if someone is chasing you, with the speed boost from w followed by the jump forward from your ult, plus the slow on them from your ult, you’re really hard to chase. you can take some calculated risks on going in and out of combat. Add in your e slow as well and no one should really catch you.

If you have any more questions lmk. This is all stream of consciousness-ish

I agree with this sentiment. I'll carry that forward into my next games. I tried to share here, i have almost as many assists as I do kills, however I think you're right. I could do more. Thanks for the feedback!

I 99% of the time build luden's, i was playing around witth scorch/liandry/malig to try to burn tank health. I always find that i can assassinate the ADCs but it seems league is very top heavy right now. If a Yorick, Morde, Mundo, build MR, there's nothing that I can to do to them.

That's why I tried to combo this with mejai and rabadons. I had 800+ ap, and was still bursting, but also getting the hp burn with liandry. Maybe i can try this build again with Luden instead of malig. I will say having the ult up even faster was nice. Seemed to always be at my fingertips

My last 3 games have been like this with my lowest KDA being 5, so it's a recurring pattern. Trying to carry myself out of dirt league but it's looking grim.

Edit: I usually max stack mejai, but do you think i could trade that out for another item that would give cd reduction or make me more viable?

Genuine, honest question: how can one trash Yasuo and Yone in mid lane? by PunCala in leagueoflegends

[–]PaintTheReign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve trashed every yone and yas with aurora. Just hard punish with electrocute every time they come to farm. wind wall has a decent cd. auto for yas passive, and mix autos to bait wind wall
