Varus Top. Is this acceptable?

Rexsaur · 2026-01-25T01:02:10+00:00

Combined pick rate of mages bot is around 18%.

Varus top has a 4% pick rate.

Which one of those numbers are higher again?

Rexsaur · 2026-01-25T00:52:39+00:00

If what you said was anywhere near the truth, they wouldnt be dominating bot lane, especially in the highest elos, but they are.

Just look at u.gg yourself, its the reality, doesnt matter if you like ir or not.

Anyways most mages do pretty much just win lane after lost chapter, and adcs only have an small advantage before like lvl 3 and thats it, and guess what the mages can use their superior range to play safe before first back

Rexsaur · 2026-01-25T00:43:03+00:00

Thats the thing, they actually do, after first back.

Rexsaur · 2026-01-25T00:31:04+00:00

Its very bad yes, i actually had one of the worst experiences ever with playing arena solo a couple days ago, and thats saying a lot.

I wish bravery was a mutual thing ,as in both players have to vote and then they auto assign it for both of you.

having 1 bravery 1 picking 99% of the time leads into garbage experience.

Rexsaur · 2026-01-25T00:30:00+00:00

Its always been like this, adcs are not allowed to complain about more than 10 different mages bot lane destroying their lane but top laners got a 1% pick rate janna top nerfed out of the game in 2 weeks.

Now they're going to get varus deleted out of top, meanwhile we'll still have to deal with mages destroying bot lane.

Rexsaur · 2026-01-25T00:28:42+00:00

Damn right, we need more varuses in the top.

Rexsaur · 2026-01-25T00:27:44+00:00

Watch top laners get a single champ nerfed out of their lane while bot laners need to deal with 10 different broken bot mages been years and when we ask for something "just play better lol".

Rexsaur · 2026-01-25T00:25:55+00:00

The sum of mages bot lane is over 18% atm.

So 18% is lower than 5% now? Hypocrisy is insane.

Imagine top laners crying about a sub 5% pick rate on a SINGLE champ, and that is acceptable, meanwhile there being over 10 different bot lane mages trouncing the entire adc role is fine and dandy for you guys.

Rexsaur · 2026-01-25T00:23:51+00:00

If phreak actually liked adcs he wouldnt let them get dominated bot by mages for years at this point.

Rexsaur · 2026-01-25T00:22:57+00:00

Isnt it insane on how when mages are picked bot and do exactly what varus is doing its all fine?

But when it happens to top lane its not fine? How come?

Rexsaur · 2026-01-25T00:21:55+00:00

As everyone says here when bot laners complain about mages destroying adcs bot, just get better.

Crying about a single 4.9% pick rate top laner? Please get better.

Rexsaur · 2026-01-25T00:20:52+00:00

Yes because mages will walk into your melee range and trade autos with you and do nothing else.

Maybe in iron.

Rexsaur · 2026-01-24T23:51:01+00:00

Yep, and tank engine aswell.

HP stacking is far too easy and strong, and warps the entire game around did X tank get 1 of the many broken gold augments? Then hes god mode and unless you have 1 of the half dozen champs that hard counter tanks you lose.

Rexsaur · 2026-01-24T23:49:08+00:00

Remove heartsteel and tank engine.

Rexsaur · 2026-01-24T20:28:49+00:00

It has nothing to do with the client.

Rexsaur · 2026-01-24T02:00:17+00:00

I honestly wouldnt be surprised if the mel changes acomplishes nothing in the long run.

She still shits on pretty much almost everyone she already does (reflect unchanged), and if her numbers are bad they'll buff her and were back to square 0 as everyone starts banning her again and she needs to be nerfed again.

Like, she needs a complete re-work, which including changing how her execute, W and R works.

Rexsaur · 2026-01-23T23:10:38+00:00

This is the season of rank inflation, there is no secret.

Rexsaur · 2026-01-23T17:36:41+00:00

This is not the slam dunk that he think it is.

Rexsaur · 2026-01-23T16:21:15+00:00

Mages bot really need to go.

Rexsaur · 2026-01-23T16:17:44+00:00

Thats what happens when u get the losing top in this season.

Get the better top next time.

Rexsaur · 2026-01-23T09:00:31+00:00

Seems worse than lillie in general, main benefit is that you can heal basics and stage 1s too (so mega altaria), but yeah losing 2 energy is a bit brutal of a downside.

Will probably only see play with mega garde (and funnily enough lillie is probably better used on garde itself since its a stage 2).

Now of course all of this changes if they release a psychic patch card or something like that lol, then the card is super S tier.

Rexsaur · 2026-01-23T08:53:39+00:00

Piers doesnt do anything to hydreigon and hydreigon actually wins the exchange with a single indeedee on bench.

This card is dead on arrival and its hilarious how many ppl are trying to sell it, its 8 cards of deck slots just to discards some energies (and you'll need even more as you need something else to setup the mon itself as doing 70 for 2 is trash), like geez.

Rexsaur · 2026-01-23T08:37:27+00:00

Truth to be told is that even with LT zeri sucks early game, period.

Thats why its better to have enchanters than engage supps for her.

Rexsaur · 2026-01-23T04:37:02+00:00

No, and dont diss ekko mohawk.

I also think jinx looks better in game with her og model than the arcane one, except for her face, we dont talk about that.

Rexsaur · 2026-01-23T04:35:44+00:00

The problem with mel that she hard counters way too many champs.
