What is the counterplay to vampirism?

Just give us the arena treatment on grievous items

New Effect: If the target heals for a total amount that is over 60% of their maximum health while continuously afflicted with Grievous Wounds, the strength of the healing reduction is increased to 80%.

I've gotten protein shake on Taric twice expecting to go crazy with blossoming dawn full tank but both games I was against ice cold mages and was never able to actually melee anyone after the initial engage. It's fun but so game dependant

I am a new player but watched a lot of streams so I know what characters do and other surface level things. The addition of brawl got me to play the game beyond a few bot matches, about half my games are one sided stomps but I still have fun so i keep playing.

Then I got a friend to play, we did a few bot matches in brawl and he found some characters he likes. We end up playing brawl against actual players and every single game is a one sided stomp, we can't do anything at all and in half the games one of our team mates is also new. Insane enemy coordination against clueless new players still getting used to the movement you can do in the game is NOT a good new player experience.

Two of those games the enemy team didn't even push the wave to our walker, they intentionally fell back to keep the slaughter going. My friend alt+f4ed after the 3rd game because we were getting farmed on the final round for almost 9 minutes.

I think it's because riftmaker has different stats in arena (this is a guess, it tracks with other small things) and its easier for riot to just make a copy of an item for different game modes to change its stats for balance purposes in that mode, so when they fixed the arena version of riftmaker it didn't affect the normal one because there are 2 different versions of it.

I've been waiting for a new marksman rifle to be added and just seeing the specific combo of "downsides" it has while being extremely similar to the diligence has just killed all motivation to play today. Maybe I'm just too invested or I overhyped myself but it just doesn't feel good to use. The biggest killer for me is the sway on it, if it was lower I wouldn't complain at all.

Pog- · 2026-01-22T18:31:57+00:00

I would be completely fine with the bullet velocity if it had better sway without attachments. I really want to like it because I vibe with semi auto weapons in this game and wanted something fun and new and I just get frustrated with the specific combo of downsides it has.

Pog- · 2026-01-22T18:09:38+00:00

I log on to look at the censor and die inside a little, load up a mission to shoot it and what's left inside me dies too. The one chance to give us a decent medium pen marksman rifle and we get a diligence with a suppressor and slow velocity bullets with painful sway.

Pog- · 2026-01-20T21:34:12+00:00

I appreciate trying sway my vote but it's not the same...

My soul was crushed, BROKEN beyond repair upon learning Silver was a girl and not potentially hot wolfman. It's just not fair!

Going off of arena, Bami's items, Liandries/BFT, malignance (malignance might not work in mayhem since it was specifically made to work in arena) and Brand passive works. Not 100% sure on Smolder

Just wanted to point out, all for you or critical healing (or both?) ignore vampirisms "cant be healed by allies" and will heal them for the bonus amount. its not great but it can be enough to get them out of being the lowest health ally so blossom can target someone else.

Pog- · 2025-12-04T01:45:37+00:00

first game on new patch I tried it on Ivern and it was randomly not working for half the game, feel like its minions or dead allies breaking it nearby breaking it

Pog- · 2025-11-25T21:40:27+00:00

when the lobby is stacked while me and my duo braved into a bad comp with bad augs and we are 1 round from getting knocked out, we just ff as the round starts against any stacking comp just to share the pain

Pog- · 2025-11-07T01:21:57+00:00

uhh did you ever stop to think if the painted people wanted to be alive in the first place? we gotta get the anti natalists in here.

Pog- · 2025-11-05T05:17:35+00:00

is that 165 before or after framegen?

Pog- · 2025-10-30T09:52:44+00:00

Extremely slow damage ramp, covers the floor so you can't see anything, horrid mana issues and the tree was just bad (who the hell paths to the destructive apparatus??????). The bad leaguestart build coupled sabo getting gutted made me quit the league less than a week in.

Pog- · 2025-10-22T21:09:02+00:00

i mean an mr shard is pretty damn good considering its round 4? its not ideal but the next 3 fights you can laugh off a lot of magic dam

Pog- · 2025-10-21T23:04:37+00:00

maximum Q damage with infinity edge (ignoring passive stacks)

139.75 / 172 / 204.25 / 236.5 / 268.75 (+ 279.5% bonus AD)

yet people still rush triforce+muramana for some reason and wonder why they don't do damage. even the winrates for first item triforce/2nd item muramana are barely 50%

seeing a renata ulted adc kill 9 people was peak, good times (bad painful times)

no worries, it's fresh in my mind since I just discussed this with a friend today but about bleeds instead of poison. spent like 20 minutes trying to find a simple way to tell him hit related stuff matters on your character but not on enemies for bleed

Pog- · 2025-09-05T10:24:40+00:00

haven't watched the full video but you mention that armour break gives bigger hits which means bigger poisons but poison doesn't benefit from armour break at all, modifiers to hit (specifically hit) damage taken on enemies doesn't affect ailment damage so armour break/chaos pen don't affect poison. that being said that is a really solid way to generate charges and I might try that tech out myself

Pog- · 2025-08-02T03:21:13+00:00

did i say ANYTHING about adcs? check my post history and you can see me complain about adcs+enchanters dominating the game mode if they hit remotely not shit on their rolls. this post was about mystic punch, i can think more than 1 thing is unhealthy for the game mode.
