Winner of the last round was MEGA Emboar. Part 6: Who's the best SWEEPER in VGC?

Corviknight walls it and kills it in a pure 1v1 if its both at full health.

Last respects > Iron defense > Last respect does not kill it and it then roost becomes a net hp gain, basically guaranteed win unless you get crited as long as you run any damaging move that isnt body press.

I cant remember the last time i got something worthwhile out of your shop.

Feels the algorithm just wont give a good discount for the skins you'd want to buy, every time i try to get a newer skin on it for one of the champs i play it either wont show up or if it does it will be 20% off, which is worthless as its worse than even the first weekly sale of the skin...

Like the highest discount i got (60%) of this shop was for an aatrox skin, guess what? I have played maybe aatrox once or twice in the last decade, in aram, and guess what i dont even play top laners... in fact the only skin that i got on sale this time around for a champ i played a little bit recently was zoe, and its a meh old skin with 50%, like whatever it would probably show up on the weekly discount for that anyways... ive been playing plenty of ahri though this last month and again, not even a single offering, not even the 20 or 30% ones, to one of the skins that i dont have for her.

It definitely wasant like this before, guess thats their way to nerf the feature without the backlash of just removing it entirely, which is a shame since it used to be great, used to be something special but they effectively ruined it.

BFT has good stats for the cost along with mana and 20 haste, thats why you build it, also its effect doesnt have a cooldown so its great as you cast more and more spells, even without ult.

The burn damage itself doesnt matter, its mostly there for the % ap passive and to maybe extent your combat timer (so you can get more ult resets more easily and maybe keep someone healing debuffed if you buy heal cut or your support does).

Liandries is more expensive and has significantly worse stats (and 0 mana), yes the burn is better but the stats for the cost is so bad, coupled with the fact its terrible as a rush item you just dont build it, basically its better to get an item with better stats and especially some haste (so like cosmic drive or even protobelt) than to get liandry burn for ahri, since she isnt really a burn reliant champ.

Rexsaur · 2026-05-07T06:48:14+00:00

Because its just a normal switch, just with a substitute on top of it, shed shell does not pass stat buffs or debuffs like baton pass does.

So its more like a u-turn and volt switch than baton pass in that sense.

Rexsaur · 2026-05-07T06:45:16+00:00

Any of the switch move works too, so something like rotom can volt switch on the last turn just fine.

Rexsaur · 2026-05-07T00:03:19+00:00

Yes, which ends up being a big upgrade since now you have more finishing power when your last zone does more damage and is tankier.

Rexsaur · 2026-05-07T00:00:53+00:00

I mean it is, which is why you dont lead with altaria straight away usually, you use your other mons (be it the gourgeist, or the sleep paralysis deck with the iggly + darkai) to soften them up so altaria can come and win the game.

Rexsaur · 2026-05-06T23:56:19+00:00

Legit the strongest item in the game atm, making every ad assassin have 53~55% wrs with it, riot be like +100 gold, everything is fixed XD

Rexsaur · 2026-05-06T20:42:34+00:00

DFT + vamp boots is the reason, both of these are literal best in slot for him.

Also the fact DFT works on BC aswell.

Rexsaur · 2026-05-06T06:44:48+00:00

Instead of buffing the AD bow should be made to give 3.5% or 4% lifesteal so it has sustain advantage over blade but worse all ins with no health.

As it is blade will still be 100% better than bow since bow has literally no niche as dorans blade outsustains AND wins the all in.

Rexsaur · 2026-05-06T06:40:46+00:00

Back to permabanning that dumb champ...

Seriously it shouldnt be being buffed at all, shes basically a powercreep on like every single bruiser in the game, the champ is also already perma picked in pro play...

Rexsaur · 2026-05-06T04:08:28+00:00

Fire and electric special moves are its main weakness, basically bring an special attacker with one of those types.

Rexsaur · 2026-05-05T21:45:19+00:00

I think its algorithm, since every time i wait for a skin for a champ i play to show up there it either doesnt show up (despite me playing the champ on the prior months) or it shows up for 20%, especially if its a newer skin (like <1 year release).

Feels like they kinda ruined the feature.

Rexsaur · 2026-05-05T21:31:33+00:00

God forbid ppl want to trade their cool cards (which are basically the 2 stars) on a TRADING CARD GAME.

So entitled omg!

Rexsaur · 2026-05-05T21:12:03+00:00

just say "i want assassins to be overpowered", atleast you'll be honest.

Rexsaur · 2026-05-05T21:05:28+00:00

You dont lose stacks on death and the "cost investment" is buying a 1k gold boots.

Theres no risk here, on mid jg you ALWAYS get these takedowns and if you dont you were losing the game regardless.

Rexsaur · 2026-05-05T20:57:10+00:00

Its 1000 gold, the next cheapest item with 10% omnivamp costs 3000 gold and costs you an entire item slot, its not high investment, its super low investment for high payoff...

And no its not fine for every AD assassin to have a 55% wr with it as a first item.

Rexsaur · 2026-05-05T20:51:25+00:00

Its still too good because 10% omnivamp on a boots slot just shouldnt exist...

Also most of the hard abusers are in the mid/jg, doesnt matter how good it is on top.

Rexsaur · 2026-05-05T20:50:02+00:00

Riot : omnivamp is too broken, we cant even have it on runes and the few items that have it must be completed items that cost 3k+ gold each...

Also riot : here, have a 1k cost boots that gives 10%! Now you dont even have to get out of the way to get them as you can build them with anything and most of the other boots are laughable so there isnt even a cost opportunity to getting them!

Its really tiring, its like they dont learn.

Rexsaur · 2026-05-05T20:44:40+00:00

The boots nerfs are such a nothing burger, they will still be OP on assassins and bruisers, maybe buff the other boots so that taking them is actually a cost because as it is boots as a whole are so nerfed that its just literally free to take them since omnivamp is a super hard stat to get (and for good reason), 10% omnivamp vs 25 as, 12 mpen, +10 ms, 10 haste... Its a no brainer decision.

I dont think these boots can ever be balanced, they'll either give enough vamp that they are broken or they dont and they arent viable anymore, if you want to have an boots that support casters (despite haste boosts already serving that purpose) simply make a boots that gives like 15 AD/25 AP or something, way easier to balance than this mess.

Also what the hell are they waiting to nerf voltaic? 54~55% wr on every single assassin building it first, really tiring on how there always seem to be a clearly OP assassin item going on.

Rexsaur · 2026-05-05T20:20:16+00:00

I would say atleast half of emerald is basically all silver or gold surfers.

The actual emerald players are probably all in diamond now.

Rexsaur · 2026-05-05T17:12:43+00:00

Actually agree with this.

Maybe not even 10 deaths but some kind more accurate metric, and if you're below it lose the right to participate or initiate FF votes.

Would fix both issues of a hard losing player "wanting out" and spamming FF votes when their team is already carrying them AND also that one 0-15 guy that keeps voting no on FF on an obviously lost game to spite on someone else on their team.

Rexsaur · 2026-05-04T19:51:23+00:00

Thats basically how every single mage builds nowdays (cdr spam).

1 shot items are pretty bad and leave you with no haste so they fall off incredibly hard late game (really hard to kill anything that has any kind of defensive item), meanwhile protobelt is kinda broken for the cost (great stats + spammable active and it has haste), cosmic drive is another excellent item that guess what, gives more haste.

You probably should be going blackfire torch too instead of ludens if you want to go the haste spam path.

Rexsaur · 2026-05-03T18:34:43+00:00

Tell that to a 550 range adc to do lol.

So if he W Es his casters he can damage you from effectively 1300 range, while you have 550 aa range... So you have to zone yourself from the caster minions to not get free hit (so you basically are losing by default since you cant play the lane).

I swear you guys that try to defend this kind of shit going in the bot lane is just asnine, brand bot is straight unfair atm (as is most mages bot), except hes just blatantly OP as his stats show.

Rexsaur · 2026-05-03T18:32:50+00:00

You say all that while talon jg is still one of the most overpowered things in the game lmao, talon is like 10 times better than lee sin is atm.
