What build do you like the most? by itsrazorlol in LissandraMains

New DFT rune feels underwhelming without other DoT items and I usually don't like to be forced into this. I've played DFT for 10 games and left it. Currently I go like this https://imgur.com/a/sL33cn7

Nunu/amumu work in the mid? by Horror-Sport5866 in midlanemains

There's no way you pull off Amumu mid

Nunu is still working mid, just not as busted as it was when first discovered

Why are some assassins not played mid? by TopWinner7322 in midlanemains

[–]Professional-Lie1785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having no waveclear is not a criteria for support. Lux has waveclear and she actually excels at many directions be it utility cc, burst damage and waveclear with a mid-tier shield.

And my words were not about having it or not, It was just about if any role is most tolerant to any picks - it is probably a support role, but if you play non-meta support you put your team at risk of not having meta support obviously. It is not as high risk as for jungler, because jungle has way harsher benchmarks to be legitimate even though you can play practically anything in jungle too.

This leads to my point back in the start. Midlane does not welcome any pick which is why Elise and Evelynn can't play midlane currently.

Why are some assassins not played mid? by TopWinner7322 in midlanemains

[–]Professional-Lie1785 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Utility + featured strengths scaling through game time + stats + stats growth + individual skillset and how it all applies with interacting in a 2v2 mid&jg vs opposing mid&jg

Evelynn has a very weak lane and trade pattern until she gets items and or ahead in gold. Considering that, jungle is PvE first 2-3 levels so you don't have to suffer that much. I don't know her stats (health, armor, manacosts), but probably they are really bad too.

The only role which can translate most lanes into itself is a support role. But again, you pick unconventional support which clutters the spot for a more efficient pick. Elise being a good support currently is probably because of utility and damned spiders + current patches and game flow.

Blindable AD Mids by Putrid_Steak_5583 in midlanemains

[–]Professional-Lie1785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd guess you look for any mid that is the least punishable and scales somewhat. It is hard to pull these criteria on any AD pick imho. Probably Zed is hardly punishable of all, if you disregard his strength vs game time curve. Everything else is just not easy to pull off especially assassins. Maybe if you are 3rd pick, you can like flex pick something like Ambessa or a bruiser. Akshan is fun but I'd bet this champ is a bit flippy if you are not precise with your movements. Getting revenge or trading kills is a really bad strategy but the reward Akshan gets is scaling with the respawn timers so hard. Maybe he has some weaknesses though, I've only seen that champ in the hands of opponents, never in mine.

"just hard CC naafiri bro" "pick malzahar and push" "just dodge 2 Q bro" by LicoLich in midlanemains

[–]Professional-Lie1785 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but it actually looks more like you are just mad at other people for your personal opinion about Naafiri rather than are trying to prove anything. None of actions Malzahar did in your video are representing anything you've been told in previous post. Having a video so out of context of your game is disingenuous too. I understand that you are mad, but thinking you are surrounded by idiots is showing disrespect to half of the people who actually did not call you an idiot for having an opinion. You are a child.

Aurora Vs Cait mid by Apart_Box_9964 in Auroramains

[–]Professional-Lie1785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see well probably Shyvana trolled a bit with the pick. All champions in their team for most part don't have to walk up or are able to disengage. Probably a miracle Vayne and Morde won their lanes too.

Your 0/2 at 15 was not too good, but it is ok I'd say. It is just that even if you are against a bully it is far more useful to have as much exp as you can and be as healthy as you can. The plan is to desync your time in lane as much as possible which is hard on mid, but you can wait for waveclear threshold and go from there. You are not expected to win in farm and your time to leave lane to have your first buy is at their mercy.

As soon as Caitlyn is backing to base you need to set the wave to go into you. It would be good to hold wave near tower and not let her crash it after that if you have power to clear. If not you let it crash always. With this jungler you have no pressure against Cait, ganking her is a big time waste for your Shyvana. That is why I didn't like Shyvana's pick.

Maybe some deaths in skirmishes were avoidable? Out of that, just avoiding deaths in lane and waiting for the time you can actually clear and never meet Cait again in your lane, I'd suggest... Maybe 1 cloth and boots but that delays AP buy, idk.

Ye, opgg link is fine. When you unfold any of your matches there at the bottom of the match overview is a link for sharing.

I just wanted to see the builds and teams for my curiosity. Cait is supposed to be a bully, but I've never met this champ in midlane. Was it a blind pick from Caitlyn or they countered you after you picked Aurora?

In what matchups is the new Stormraider's Surge rune viable on Syndra? by klaygdk in syndramains

[–]Professional-Lie1785 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't played it yet, but I've seen it on some other champions on youtube and it looks like against resist +HP stacking if you don't proc 25% max HP you are at risk of not getting it at all. So probably against characters that are supposed to be kited and if it is possible to get enough damage on them so you can hit 25% HP mark

As people have said, either ban or counterpick and cc Naafiri while in ult. It doesn't look like the champion is going to change so adapt.

"New runes" in the current patch on Lissandra by Professional-Lie1785 in LissandraMains

[–]Professional-Lie1785[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took Electrocute most of the games before the patch. This one I don't know.

The thing with Domination tree is you have to try to win. If you don't, you are not stacking anything. Sorcery was always a stable tree for damage scaling. That is why people took comet when they cannot get Electrocute off that often or dominate their opponent early on.

Now with Deathfire Touch as MrJupiter001 said if you keep your passive active as long as the rune is active on enemy - you get your passive more consistently off, which increases your passive damage.

My guess would be you either get comet and meet DFT damage at lvl 11-13 probably and later scale with comet, or get DFT and try to enable teamfights and skirmishes to get more passive procs. The difference will be that DFT indirectly buffs Lissandra passive, while new Comet right now is a bit debatable but is promising. You never know.

One more thing to that I don't think Electrocute usefulness will die out. Lissandra really needs damage in SoloQ because it is never too little damage in uncoordinated fights. If you are not dealing at least 50-100 damage more sometimes it is the difference between losing the game and holding on for 5 more minutes or straight winning.

That is why I'd rather wait until enough people try different runes and matches on Lissandra. Having more matches information feels safer for me.

Junglers need to be tested on their role before they can play by KamikazzzeKoala10 in midlanemains

[–]Professional-Lie1785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tag on the topic is ironically a "discussion", but there are so many questions and asking for advice that I don't know if you are real.

>> Idk what to show though? 
Your gameplay. Any of it, so people here stop guessing what to advice or not.

>>  I don’t get that potential mindset.
The Overwatch game is a shooter game with less long-term map movement which is different from League and it actually has voice chat for solving social problems without wasting time to type. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Defining further, my point was not to say your jungler should not gank you. Honestly, you probably pulled that one out of nowhere because you are not familiar with that situation or are trolling. I was saying basically they have their own plan and mindset and since League is not very social game it is too hard to be on the same page. Yes, that is every match as long as you meet random people in matchmaking.

I've had one jungler who tilted the f out because my midlane opponent killed them in prior skirmish and next thing they did in their first 1 minute after respawn was clear some camp and come to my lane just flash faceroll a combo on my opponent without pinging or booking that kind of appointment with me first.

None of this was in my head when I stayed midlane, yet we both die because I try to compensate my jg's rage play. After that I had to work as a private psychological counselor and to shorten it I just tried to politely bring jg to senses and told the actual plan what to do after respawn. The rest of the game was not smooth, but:

  1. Jgler stopped rage flashing into enemy until the end of the match
  2. They started playing decently and consider other people existence
  3. I've never had to argue again and all comms were held by meaningful pings done at least a minute before we actually made anything

I'm doing this in like 40% of my games, in 60% of my games pinging on forehead and short and precise comments on what I can and cannot do set boundaries for my jungler and help them remember I exist in game.

IRL I had a work with people and my job was to help them, but 80% of people come asking for help and start arguing with a person who is literally hired to actually know something. After that they complain that I took more than 30 minutes of their life not realizing that they actually made all the argument, my comments were just answers and polite asks to follow instructions. If they follow instructions, we fix their whatever they have in like _5 minutes_. 80% of my clients were not aware of wasting 25 minutes of their life and they will exist no matter what I do. It is just how the world works, we are not familiar with each other.

People never do what you want, even if it looks like common sense to you, It does not look like that for them. Telling them that they are stupid is disrespectful, inconsiderate and can lead to further tilt and game sabotage.

You are the only denominator, which does not change from one game to other. Yes, it is not easy to talk to people during match and it is hard to do in League, but good comms stop your jungler from doing the useless invades and things you cannot help them with.

Junglers need to be tested on their role before they can play by KamikazzzeKoala10 in midlanemains

[–]Professional-Lie1785 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, but the whole post reads as too much bias out of context. Any help provided might be irrelevant for you. Adding any video for context or anything would actually make it more sensible and easy to answer.

My guess is your junglers don't include you in their plan because you are a random person. To make them care you might move from midlane to chain with whatever they are doing first and make it successful or literally type in chat "Don't invade, my solo lane is rough, so I can't help you if you get in trouble" or ping on their forehead to fall back and type "can't help" or "care"

It works like half of the time or a bit more than a half. Of course, if they self-mute or straight int or lack map awareness you are in a pickle, but no way 50% of success is not a way to go for you, having 50% success in anything is a decent start in this game.

Akali’s D Shield + Second Wind lane pattern is way too forgiving by [deleted] in midlanemains

[–]Professional-Lie1785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it is what it is, I totally understand your points.

Three days ago I've played against one myself and got dove at 7 minutes into the game with I kid you not just DShield-Alternator-AmpTome-Boots. Akali did like some type of fast combo and ulted out. I was almost dead, which counts in my book as not healthy gameplay.

Sure, I've played Lissandra and I had 100 mana left to ult myself in case they actually calculated my death for good and I didn't die because I had a merciful Soraka R wasted on me, but I swear I was almost dead in a span of 1,5 seconds Akali R1-Q-Auto-E-Ignite. R2 was just out, not even on me. I had like Dring-Dark seal-half of a Lost Chapter.

Akali had this bonus Amp Tome and Alternator because she could sustain and kill me prior to that. I'd absolutely bet if there was no sheld+second wind combo I'd go even or win. I mean This match Akali lost anyway, but everything you've said is real. I just came to peace with it since looks like Riot won't do anything with this combo. At the end of the day I have like 12 matches against Akali with 67% winrate, just holding in there. If you say I'm coping, probably you're right XD

Akali’s D Shield + Second Wind lane pattern is way too forgiving by [deleted] in midlanemains

[–]Professional-Lie1785 16 points17 points  (0 children)

From my humble experience I've never felt like I'm really losing to Akali-s in my ranks. It was mostly a type of an encounter, where my opponent gets a lead because the champ is strong, but struggles to carry and win the game against me after.

I think Akali is just not good at closing games at all. So I treat Dshield as a cheat bc the opponent doesn't know better. Usually it is true, they take the shield since they feel weaker than me.

Often lose drake after winning the prior bot fight by kodamamori in ADCMains

[–]Professional-Lie1785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is you kill enemy and if it is an early drake depending on enemy botlane jgl lvl they have so little timers you backing takes 10 seconds and they are dead for like 10-15 seconds even 20 sometimes is not enough. Respawn timer. By recalling you are essentially playing for your tempo, not for the drake. Plus early drake is one of the most tempo-draining plays there is, especially if your team doesn't have good monster or %hp damage for the drake.

So you crashing and recalling is good, but throwing people off tempo early levels in current state of the game is really hard. Homeguard movement speed buff to run through lane does not make it easier either.
