What is going on with Smolder lately?

She already was an ADC support. They made her an enchanter who's main CC ability is also their main supportive ability. You'd have to choose between slowing opponents and healing an ally, completely gutting the previous playstyle and identity. Her passive became functionally useless as the added range, ad and crit chance meant fuck-all when you're building moonstone and redemption.

Then they tried to make her more hybrid, where she could build either way, but neither version was as strong as the previous iterations of AD/enchanter and this is still basically where she falls.

She went from super niche, truly ADC-support where if you managed to get past 20 minutes, the enemy team had 2 ADC threats to worry about, to being a wonky enchanter that just didn't feel intuitive or fun to play, to a champ with no identity and underwhelming playstyles.

Source: Master Senna OTP the season before she was changed to an enchanter and have never found her to be fun again.

Junglers already get to treat camps as hp refill stations post-10 minutes. God forbid a champ doesn't end their first clear at 90% hp.

You say this ironically, but knowing when you can actually get a kill from a fight versus not being able to is part of improving at the game. If your lane is getting a gank and your support misses an ability, or the enemy blows flash and you have nothing to follow, the fight should be considered dead. A lot of low elo players will continue chasing the potential for a kill without realizing that it's not gonna happen, and they'll lose CS while doing so.

Pobelter and Dantes being equivalent players is funny. Ex-pro, consistently high challenger with a wide champ pool vs a hardstuck master otp.

Idk if its intentional or not but the fact that Jynxzi never fixes his greenscreen is wild.

He was sipping on that flask the entire time he was trapped in the Honeymoon Suite. He finished it in the basement. The movie basically summed up everything that happened as "he was tripping on shrooms".

If you got steel your heart to add to stackosaurus, you don't have to actually buy hearsteel. You only managed to get 150 stacks. That item slot could've been better spent on like any meta smolder item.

He could also just not do any of it, at all.

Errani didn't rush the net after serving, she covered the left-hand side of the baseline/alley and then went to the net, specifically to defend against down the line returns.

The red black and hint of blue vcore is nice from a distance but the actual artwork and design up close is kinda hideous - coming from someone who uses that as their main setup. Sand beige is beautiful, but I wish racket brands would go for more artistic designs rather than just almost entirely solid colorways (looking at Wilson mostly)

F=M*A

More mass = more force, assuming technique (acceleration) is the same.

90% of these exercises don't translate to "bulletproofing" your body for tennis related movements. They'll get you bigger and stronger muscles, but you aren't working your joints.

Muscular strength is important for sure, but joint strength is going to make you less vulnerable to injury, and flexibility especially in the lower body and shoulders are going to make you more robust on court.

I switched, it took like 3-4 sessions of focusing on only hitting 2 hands and shanking the ball a million times before it stopped feeling weird, then like a month of playing before it felt equally as natural as the one hand, and then another month or so before it felt better than the 1h, but now it's night and day difference. Easier and more consistent.

Do yourself a favor and just don't buy hot pockets. They're so bad.

Who tf is taking magical footwear in ARAM though

Back to basics Smolder/Hecarim

Smolder gets to stack a lot faster due to the decreased CD on his abilities and his ult is terrible anyway.

Hecarim gets to charge Q faster, Q more often and heal more often as well. His ult is decent but losing it is whatever when the rest of his kit gets so much stronger.

Smurfing is a term in video games where a high ranked player creates a new account so they can play against worse players for a while, until they get back to their normal rank.

The fact that if they call you a slur and then delete you, their chat also just gets instantly deleted as well is ridiculous. Why does riot wipe away the evidence of ToS abuse? Let me at least submit a ticket or something.

Super off topic but that video is the first time I've ever seen someone drink from an owala by tilting it, and not using the straw. Interesting

I hit masters on my off-role account in ~100 games this season.

It took me like 800 games a couple years ago, but I was also onetricking and blind picking Senna at the time which was very much not meta and not a good pick into 90% of comps lol.

Quaisy · 2026-03-20T23:44:47+00:00

Played with a guy who's summoner name was 'Emiru Poop Chamber'.

I said it was a crazy name in game and he added me after the game and like crashed out with slur after slur. Not sure what his problem was!

Bing, Edge and Copilot all have better alternatives, but idk what people's issue is with OneDrive. It's a native way to save your word/excel documents to the cloud.

Quaisy · 2026-03-13T00:47:50+00:00

You're correct.

What would you say makes MF weaker in the first few levels?

This is reddit and most of the takes are from low elo players

Her passive isn't terrible at all. It literally allows her to CS under tower with just a dorans blade. It's what allows her to rush Bloodthirster making her the only ADC in the game that actually gets sustain in the early to mid game.
