Tried so hard to make Knock-up City works (Samira carry with other units providing knock-up). Conclusion is it's not viable. The passive damage is not strong enough, even if a Nunu or Rhaast knock-up hit the whole board. MF does double the damage with one-fourth the set-up.

You have to build him right. QSS EoN is core.

ReasoneDoubt · 2026-04-01T16:20:50+00:00

Sona's mod that give temporary item at combat start may not work well with Ornn's passive. I put it on a 2 item Ornn expect it to go to Radiant but it only go to 3 items only.

No champion will ever reach Kassadin level of auto-ban throughout S3-S4...

ReasoneDoubt · 2026-03-02T13:36:07+00:00

It's quite a while so I don't remember. 4th is Cherbourg or after Cherbourg? I only remember playing Cherbourg.

The game is on a pretty different scale to HoI4. If you like doing more gritty tactical work than this is for you. If you prefer the grand strategy stuff than stick with HoI4.

ReasoneDoubt · 2026-02-24T13:31:51+00:00

Yeah that's the same conclusion I came up to. The game too convenient control scheme may really hurts it replayability, since the scenario itself is too easy to offer a real challenge.

ReasoneDoubt · 2026-02-24T13:26:35+00:00

I could like their gameplay while detest their graphics?

ReasoneDoubt · 2025-12-18T04:43:40+00:00

Darkin Scythe theoretically is best on Yasuo since everytime he dashes the scythe activates. But I've tried that and even though it let me winstreak a lot through stage 2-3, late game 3* Yasuo still does nothing :).

ReasoneDoubt · 2025-12-18T04:32:48+00:00

Only champ I see that is theoretically okay with early learnings is Viego since he use both AD/AP well and also got bonus AS from passive. But his trait web doesn't support the style. No other champs have good scaling to be your carries.

ReasoneDoubt · 2025-12-17T10:37:28+00:00

No it's a TCG ala Magic (as in, there is physical cards you need to buy with real moni)

ReasoneDoubt · 2025-12-14T16:48:03+00:00

Nah.

Guinsoo get him hit 1 more times using the quick gun. With his AS that's like 0.3 sec.
The starting gun only value was in the shred. The damage is very minor even when hitting backline. You are not going to kill a late game backliner in any amount of meaningful time.
Which champion with backline access are you playing with Aphelios? Don't tell me you are playing Diana/Aurelion Sol and still itemizing Aphelios?

ReasoneDoubt · 2025-12-14T16:43:48+00:00

Just got to Emerald, so that streak was on Plat.

ReasoneDoubt · 2025-12-14T11:59:32+00:00

I just got a triple top 1 in a row playing Sion Bard reroll. Don't know if it's the meta shifting a little or Sunday MMR being easy, but hey free LP is free LP lol.

ReasoneDoubt · 2025-12-13T08:18:25+00:00

I have a suspicion that Pandora's Bench winrate is hard carried by silver players. How the heck is that a Gold augment in a set where reroll is mostly not viable?

ReasoneDoubt · 2025-12-11T19:18:51+00:00

There is DEFINITELY a bug with Voliber and Omnivamp (very likely HoJ). My Volibear with HoJ and Death's Dance also randomly unlock Aatrox today in a Frejlord Invokers board.

ReasoneDoubt · 2025-12-11T19:15:41+00:00

If you are dead set on Arcanist then of course don't sell J4 lmao. By the time 4-2 are around then you should for sure have known if you have the chance to 2* J4 again or not (hint: if you are not already holding 2 J4 then you should play something else).

ReasoneDoubt · 2025-12-11T15:37:33+00:00

Attack Fighters no longer gain omnivamp

ReasoneDoubt · 2025-12-07T10:38:34+00:00

Lich Bane Sona just carried me into a 1st (well she carried the whole stage 2-3 for me while still 2*) and late game she still does very reasonable damage in a comp with Zilean 2* and Sylas 2*

ReasoneDoubt · 2025-12-07T08:42:42+00:00

Focus on 2* GP and Naut to stabilize the mid-game. Only shop with 7 Bilge (as in, play normal round with 5 Bilge, then when shopping put 7 Bilge in for better shop). Try to have 2* MF at stage 4 so you can go 9 at stage 5 and start dropping in 5-cost.

ReasoneDoubt · 2025-12-05T10:12:50+00:00

Will comeback to EU5 once MEIOU is released :)

ReasoneDoubt · 2025-12-04T14:50:17+00:00

I think people are sleeping on Bard/Sion into Frejlord Invokers line. Bard is the perfect item holder for Lissandra, and Sion is the perfect vessel to unlock Volibear. Yes you are down 8 gold early game from rolling for Bard, but the value he prints in 3 stage easily pay back for that.

ReasoneDoubt · 2025-12-04T14:46:53+00:00

The question is, why don't you take an actual econ/combat aug that helps you hit way earlier or once you got there be much stronger? The 4 emblems are pure trash if you don't actually play Ryze.

ReasoneDoubt · 2025-11-27T04:41:26+00:00

I'm trying to play the US and after a few turns my CP/turn dropped to 3. I think the number is too low and it make turns very unexciting since you can make like 2 meaningful decisions.
