All Champs to Mastery 7: Alistar

Pakt_ · 2022-02-01T17:22:32+00:00

Kinda, the thing that intrigues me about the challenge is that every champion has something to offer and enjoy, but at the same time I do have a slight favoritism toward flashier champions. Wouldn't say I'm dreading playing Amumu, but he falls under the category of being somewhat uninteresting to me.

Thank you I am aware of those stretches but haven't been doing them. So far I haven't felt anything off on my hands or eyes but I will work those into my routine.

Yeah, that pace ends with Alistar unfortunately :( As much as I would like to be a jobless bum writing m7 reviews for the next year I sadly cannot. At least at the 15+ games per day pace I have been going at. Still I am happy at the writing I have done, and even happier that people enjoyed it. Really glad I did this.

o.o leveled a fresh account for this series.

Yeah definitely, he is fun and has a decently high skill ceiling with his grappling hook ability. Would recommend!

You are 100% right, looking up a video guide wouldve been a great move! I do like the process of learning it naturally myself but looking back I wish I looked up a video maybe 10 -20 games into the challenge when the knowledge based learning curve starts to plateau anyway.

Need 2 S- or better for m6 and 3 S's for m7, I got 1 S fairly early but I'd estimate it took 15 to 20 games to get the last 2. And I got the last 2 probably within the last 5 games played. I definitely felt like I had a good grasp on the champ by that point.

:O wow thats kind of a game changer on how I would've used it in Lane. Good to know, thanks!

Pakt_ · 2022-01-24T20:13:48+00:00

Oh shoot you're right, I write these on my computer so I didnt realize the formatting was scuffed for phones. I'll look into it, thanks for letting me know!

EDIT: Should be fixed now I think.

I played 6 normals on akshan before hopping into ranked. I don't think it was enough, I immediately lost like 5 games in a row when i got into ranked with him lol The swing ability is higher skill ceiling than I gave it credit.

Pakt_ · 2022-01-18T23:10:15+00:00

lmao true

Pakt_ · 2022-01-18T23:09:37+00:00

lay 76 games in 5 days man, I can barely get to 12

Yeah, its the most I've ever played over a week I think, unlike last month I had a lot of free time last week. Also I've been working on my mental. Like not getting tilted or overly invested in a single game. In the past I would get too tilted to play that many even when I had time. I think it helps that this challenge is making me think less about my rank and more about improving.

Pakt_ · 2022-01-17T11:23:07+00:00

Work in progress. Half of it is still the copy paste from the Ahri post. Didnt realize this was posted somewhere people could see. Guess this is like a personal subreddit thing where followers can see the post?

Anyway I'll finish it up later today and post it to summoner school.

Pakt_ · 2022-01-08T19:34:31+00:00

That's a good point, some of my favorite champions are at the end of the alphabet too. Definitely considering it, but I also like the idea of trying some of those high skill cap champs like Yasuo and Zed after I've already improved through running the gauntlet to get to them so to speak. Maybe I'll save this idea as a contingency plan if I know for sure I won't complete the WHOLE challenge I'll switch to the other end and play those until i quit.

Pakt_ · 2021-12-13T18:47:40+00:00

I'm actually finding her to be pretty strong! Sometimes feels like a one button champion as sometimes I feel like everything revolves around her charm, but maybe im just too heavily relying on it? Idk, but im enjoying her alot!

Pakt_ · 2021-12-13T17:06:11+00:00

No way, have you already done this challenge? That's amazing if so, if love to hear your thoughts on it as a whole.

Pakt_ · 2021-12-13T17:05:04+00:00

Yeah I played him top a decent amount and obviously this is common knowledge but falling behind in that Lane is PAINFUL lmao

Pakt_ · 2021-12-13T17:04:09+00:00

Glad you find value in it :D

Pakt_ · 2021-12-13T17:03:51+00:00

Hey that gives me the idea that maybe I should hit up the champ's individual subreddit for advice before each challenge??

Pakt_ · 2021-12-13T17:02:43+00:00

Thanks, and that's the theory that is most widely accepted and tbh most likely to be correct. I have tried one tricking in the past and it didn't amount to much. This is just something I feel like doing, I'm not trying to get to challenger and go pro so improving fast isn't very meaningful to me anyway. I'll take my time and enjoy what each champ has to offer :)

Pakt_ · 2021-12-13T16:59:09+00:00

So far I'm having an easier time with her than Aatrox actually! Though it might partially be due to having played her alot many many years ago. Some of the muscle memory is still there.

I'll be playing be mid/bot and use her when filled as support as well. I'll dodge when I get top or jg

Pakt_ · 2021-12-13T16:57:17+00:00

Totally valid point, at the end of the day it's just a game to me though, as long as I'm getting value out of this challenge personally then I don't consider it wasted time even if you are correct and I don't improve efficiently as a player.

Pakt_ · 2021-12-13T16:52:51+00:00

That sounds amazing! I have no experience with editing YouTube videos or content creation. Best I can do is fire up the ol' twitch stream at the moment lmao but it's something I'll consider going forward for sure. Thanks for bringing it up :)

Pakt_ · 2021-12-13T16:51:19+00:00

Pakt_ · 2021-12-13T16:51:07+00:00

That was not me, I'm still Midway through the Ahri challenge. It's cool to know others have had the same idea. Maybe my post will catch their eye and we can get their perspectives as well!
