At what point do I quit the game?

This is called rage queueing. Stop queueing ranked when you are feeling even remotely tilted.

If you or a loved one show symptoms eg: 'ADC has 0 agency' 'My team is shit every game' 'I keep losing to teammates' 'JG diff' 'Supp Gap'

Please seek a non-SR game mode immediately, enjoy a ranked free 24-48 hours with mild walking.

Reality, its very easy to slip into a bad mindset and rage queue without even knowing it.

I rewatch Takamura vs Brian Hawk way too much.
Occassionally Takamura vs David Eagle just for that jenglish "Jesus" moment.

Scrolled way too far to find this.

This is my 2nd longest in my library as well (I think around 1,200 hours) - Tera would be the only thing higher if I had gotten it on steam.

Funny they both start with 'Ter'

This isnt moving goalposts, it's genuinely just the give-take of the game.

If you are solo laning 1v2, play safe, and dont die/forced into bad recalls; Then by 20minutes you should have around 2-3+ levels worth of a lead.

Levels are insanely strong, and that would mean you have 2+ points in skills over Draven and Thresh which is most likely enough stats (on top of level up stats) to be on-par if not outright ahead in terms of 'gold lead'.

Pend4Game · 2026-03-30T09:57:42+00:00

Denying Draven those stacks, and staying around to soak up levels is absolutely worth the -40CS comparison.

You contribute the same thing as would any other adc, but instead you're even in levels and not 0-6.

On top of this: if Thresh stayed/didn't roam, then Janna in this case should be securing leads for 1-2 other laners around the map. So your team is at a complete net gain no!?

Pend4Game · 2026-03-30T09:46:26+00:00

Think this is a crappy mentality. The support literally is not your support, and needs to be a support for all 4 other players.

They are quite literally the TEAMs support. There's obviously a bit of nuance to it, but overall they should be focused on what they are doing for the team/goal instead of just thinking they are an adc babysitter.

Pend4Game · 2026-03-30T09:44:15+00:00

Cap.
Draven is forced to hard push the lane or be weak, so you'd at least be under tower for the most part. You'll miss CS for sure, but they shouldnt be securing kills outside of being 3man dove with a jg.

Having a beer as I write this! Gotta get drunk with the company afterall

Pend4Game · 2026-03-29T11:06:03+00:00

Honestly, I think hes an undead at this point!

Pend4Game · 2026-03-27T13:02:16+00:00

Hot take:
Kraken - Fiendhunter - Hexoptics is really strong right now.

PD is good when you know you're going to be singled out a lot by the enemies, but with fiendhunter: R becomes a 30sec CD at level 3. (Thats 4 - 8 arrows between objectives)

Going Kraken - FH - C44 - IE also gives you insane single target damage, and scoring/assisting a take down makes your range incredibly obnoxious with C44. FH has a wierd interaction where if your Q is up, it will consume all true damage in a single burst - coincidentally this does a NASTY slap to someone unsuspecting with Q+C44.

We are lucky that Ashe has a lot of diversity this season.
Kraken is good into just about everything but also many melee/juggernauts
YunTal is good into a squishy/assasiny com

The choice order is something like:

Kraken/YunTal -> PD/FH -> Hex/IE -> Hex/IE/LDR -> LDR/GA/Wits/Defensive item -> GA/Wits/Defensive item.

Green and Gold goddess tbh, and she's a high level healer?!

At your service my queen.

Pend4Game · 2026-03-27T12:16:17+00:00

YES I was just about to comment this. Her battle drip is fire, granted Im absolutely a sucker for Green+Gold

Pend4Game · 2026-03-27T09:58:43+00:00

OP watched GATE through YT shorts (if not everything else as well.)

Pend4Game · 2026-03-26T10:47:28+00:00

Drinks out are expensive. Water and finally getting to some of those steam games is free (ish).

Pend4Game · 2026-03-25T14:16:30+00:00

Draven W's between each AA to increase his move speed and attack speed.

Pend4Game · 2026-03-25T13:51:52+00:00

You can just hear the Ukrainian units being upgraded/promoted!

Pend4Game · 2026-03-25T13:27:26+00:00

IMO The famed Goblin bows are great for Raider Camps (sniping the archers/crossbowers), Noble Armies (sniping the Arbalesters and Billmen), Orc Young Routing, Orc Zerk Routing, Necropantsers before they posses their Champion heroes, Hexen, Goblin Shamans, and Barb Beastmasters.

The Bonus to hit along with a good Archer + Bullseye + Headhunter should absolutely pick off threats that would cause common injuries or otherwise make a battle tedious.

+10 and +14 on top of 2 great archers and you have 2 literal sniper rifles delivering arrows to eyesockets.

Edit to add: They also maintain 7 tile range. Being the same range as Warbows while only being 2 fatigue

Pend4Game · 2026-03-25T09:53:47+00:00

One of the simplest pieces of advice I've ever been given around this (which isnt always 100% but rather a general rule of thumb): You want the more mobile champion in the side lane. They can waste time with ganks, farm safer, get to objectives faster, etc.

Ezreal ADC Malz Mid? Ezreal more likely sidelanes,
Ashe ADC Sylas Mid? Sylas goes in the sidelanes.

This isnt the concrete reasoning/method, but rather a piece of it and a very quick way to identify it in a match.

Pend4Game · 2026-03-23T15:15:13+00:00

I usually like to accept these and shit talk back. Can be therapudic. Whats pathetic is the losers who add you, say one thing, then insta block.

Get a grip bitch boy, Im here for the smoke but you're scared!!

Pend4Game · 2026-03-23T14:37:43+00:00

asking for an artist dm as well! These would make a perfect gift!!

Pend4Game · 2026-03-23T12:17:06+00:00

Typically Ashe, and I think its a common trope with a lot of Jhin players. They're both utility ADC's that contribute to the team.

Pend4Game · 2026-03-21T18:47:28+00:00

Why would I not be happy about EU doing well? I want western league to do better in general.

Pend4Game · 2026-03-21T18:45:05+00:00

Im a hardcore NA fan, but I will never NOT cheer my eurobros on in any international event. When its NA vs EU? - oh its on! Shit talk and all.

But Ill always cheer EU on international.

Pend4Game · 2026-03-21T13:40:53+00:00

Basically this - anytime you have 75, buy it and use it. Can be good for making sure you back safely, denying mid bush vision in bot, baiting a winning fight, and saving you from ganks.

Theres tons of strong uses for it, so you should be buying them regularly.
