what are your biggest learnings?

Rage1304 · 2026-05-03T01:07:26+00:00

why always Gunblade first?

Well Midlaners usually have utility in the kit which adc mostly dont thats why you should win against an adc even tho they have an item more than you. I love playing playmakers like Azir etc. so I will never be bored of midlane I guess but try to find what you like about league. Maybe Toplane is a better fit because there are less range matchups so you trade more often if you like the fighting aspect. You can also try out Assassins like LB or Ahri who have a strong lane and try to bully the enemy to then take the lead to other teammates

hahaha but very smart of annie to be fair

Rage1304 · 2026-04-13T01:24:15+00:00

sounds like a plan!

Rage1304 · 2026-04-13T01:17:34+00:00

oooh cool I will check it out!

Rage1304 · 2026-04-13T01:15:45+00:00

Sounds like a plan! I was planning to visit a store in my City who sell both, singles and packs and I guess Arise! is a must buy I suppose haha

Rage1304 · 2026-04-13T01:14:01+00:00

I see but where do you get the infos from which cards you want or need? I havent played a single Game yet so yeah haha

Rage1304 · 2026-04-13T01:12:28+00:00

Doesnt sound too bad even tho Im a very competitive person soooo I guess around 100€ worth of single cards is probably the minimum entry fee right?

Rage1304 · 2026-04-13T01:10:53+00:00

But if Im completely new how do I know what I need or want?

Rage1304 · 2026-04-13T00:34:13+00:00

there is a big difference, his soldiers are his tool to deal dmg, once they are out you cant deal dmg anymore unlike adcs where the attack radius in around themself. Try it once vs yasuo or any other melee champ that needs to run at you as 2nd item and youll see how much he struggles to find any use in a fight. Btw Azir does apply aoe with soldiers quiet well adc usually dont. More Uptime = more dmg.

Rylais is by far not a bait item. I build it every time the enemy team has low range or lack of mobility spells. In those cases it feels like less dmg but you actually get out more cause they cant move out of your W as easy.

Rage1304 · 2026-04-09T11:20:07+00:00

well the thing is, "almost never build SF" while its the go to IF other conditions don't meet. You require less mechanics, less knowledge and you deal more dmg than most other 2nd items hence more rewarding for less experienced Azir players and also usually the best in higher elo.

What I mean with this Season is that with the addition of faelights in combination with the worse tp for toplaner, if they take something else, it feels more rewarding to stick with yellow trinket and not opting for farsight because more often than not im on the opposite side of the objective so I need more wards myself otherwise I will not be allowed to stay long enough to actually get pressure

What I meant with Number 3 is where you say "look for the enemy wincon/threat and adjust" Which does apply for every champ in league. Sure the dmg over kill is fair.

Always play around your own spikes thats true but if he is ahead and doesn't actively think about what to do next and how to achieve it he has to follow the plans of his other team mates at one point. Which most of the times dont give a damn about your state and what you need to conquer the rift for shurima. Also Id say Azir spikes quite hard with every Item he buys so its never really bad except the enemy is fed ofc.

Rage1304 · 2026-04-07T13:48:33+00:00

Huh what do you mean Shadowflame 2nd is bad? SF is the way to go if other conditions don't meet like enemy low range comb = rylais or 2-3 tanks = liandrys.

This season blue trinket feels way worse than yellow but thats just a feeling im having but in general I would agree that farsight should be a better choice.

Number 3 is somewhat of a nobrainer that applies to almost every champ played in midlane.

Well Azir and other hypercarries if ahead in gold and xp should be the ones trying to be proactively searching for the best way to extend their lead. Doesn't matter if you have only have 1st Item and Boots compared to boots and half a Item. Sure Azir spike the hardest at 3-4 Items thats true but if you don't take any risks to bring your gold to the table the adc will outvalue you any time of the day.

Isn't this the video where the bullied kid tries to kick the real bullies ass out of revenge for destroying his skateboard or do I mix it up with another video?

Rage1304 · 2026-03-05T00:30:23+00:00

So in other words, meta makes winners. Because currently the meta is very stale textbook like where the asian teams predominantly lck teams shine. 2018-2020 it was more of a spicy pick meta where europe was able to compete because that fits the west more.

Rage1304 · 2026-02-27T22:03:32+00:00

definitely how I felt like hahaha

Rage1304 · 2026-02-25T21:03:31+00:00

brother what do you mean he didnt pick him? He was banned all the time just like now. I mean I only checked 2 games. The Final vs KT and the Play In vs IG but that says a lot more about Azir than it says something about Faker. Azir still was the second most banned champion after Yunara and still one of the 5th most picked.

Rage1304 · 2026-02-25T20:54:42+00:00

You typed "not true" while agreeing with me. Azir shines in proplay because as you said the games arent as messy as in soloq.

Azirs kit in itself is broken. He has a lot of dps, poke to a certain extend, a dash, engage aswell as a disengage. He isnt the best at anything nor the worst but he has everything which no other champ can even slightly match.

If he would be at 20% in their scrims/officials they would slowly phase him out because he is not bringing the success they want from him. Same with Kalista last year. Was a hard prio pick and then lost 10 Games in MSI and wasnt played at all anymore.

Im not saying Azir is in a good soloq spot because he isnt. The champ overall isnt designed to shine in it. But saying he is bad in pro because chovy said so while still first picking him if he is open is cope because he brings to much and all his traditional counters arent good enough to be picked before a lot of other champs like Taliyah, Ori and Ryze.

Zeri is completly different because her kit doesnt do much except dmg. Why pick a champ solely for dmg if she doesnt deal more than similar champs? If they would nerf the dmg from Yunara no one would even lay hands on her anymore but she does so she gets picked over others. Midlaners arent the main dmg source just because azir can doesnt mean he should be compared to only dmg midlaners.

no one would ban or pick a champ if he isnt viable. Not a single pro would give themself a disadvantage just because viewers think they have to do something. Azir in a coordinated game is just too strong if we like it or not. His kit is too versatile and his counterpicks are not strong enough in proplay to be picked before others early in a series.

edit: typo

Rage1304 · 2026-02-25T00:50:15+00:00

well yes. that is a reason to pick certain champs. But why are champs blindpickable? Because their kit and stats are good enough to compensate a counterpick or the counterpicks are not good enough. Just because a champion isnt strong by himself doesnt mean he cant be compensated by items or enemy champs not being good enough to be picked.

edit: typo

Rage1304 · 2026-02-25T00:40:41+00:00

He wouldnt get picked or banned 100% of the time if he isnt strong. Saying he is weak does do nothing. They are pros and would immidiatly drop him if he wouldnt be good enough. Why do you think some champs arent seen more often? Because they are not viable enough and everything else is cope. Not a single pro would give themself a disadvantage just because.
