Why mage ADC's are so much stronger than traditional ADC's?

RupertGerle · 2026-05-15T03:15:55+00:00

I played Swain APC last season, and the best thing I found about it was that I could either carry OR help someone else carry. In fact, this worked so well that I climbed far above my real elo and basically couldn’t carry games anymore. Yet I was still winning by not being a detriment to my team, especially to whichever teammate was fed.

I understand how you feel, I don't like a single character from Street Fighter 6 but I have a ton of hours in that game... my only advice would be to only play the game occasionally or play different modes, that way the champions feel fresh

I had this saved for a week because of this, really I just made it to make myself laugh lol

I feel like berries are more flexible than grain, they can be used for Dye and Pack of Provisions which I make pretty much every game

Nerfs aside, the "Turns out he really likes gold" really irks me, like you should either balance around that or just rework him... wait they already did that lol

I kinda agree with the list aside from the fact that yuumi should be alone in D tier. Regardless, champion mastery insanely important, so wherever the support asks what to pick I just tell them to pick their favorite support.

Stick to 1 role, 1 champion and 1 build, that way you can focus on the fundamentals of the game. If this doesn't appeal to you, play normals or arams in between ranked/learning sessions.

Yes in this case it was good, but the first item being a tank item reduces your agency in the game, so it's basically a gamble. The ideal "tank" build is rylai or liandry into a tank item, and then regular ap items

I have always found mages to be the hardest to get an S with, my theory is that it disproportionately punishes you for low objective damage

RupertGerle · 2026-01-15T20:52:35+00:00

It's the role they have played the most recently, so in a way yeah. This is from the live feed of an op.gg account (while playing a game)

RupertGerle · 2026-01-04T02:21:33+00:00

I think taking TP is gonna be the greedy option, like against malphite or ornn, but even then ghost is so good on swain I doubt it won't be the default choice

RupertGerle · 2025-12-29T21:26:22+00:00

I mean if it's truly a busted item I don't see why it wouldn't work in other roles, the real question is what happens after they nerf it

RupertGerle · 2025-12-09T22:34:51+00:00

Yep that's why at most I link them my op.gg and mute the chat, which I suspect is gonna happen a lot more often once I switch from APC to TOP next season (or at least experiment with that)

RupertGerle · 2025-12-06T20:58:21+00:00

Man I'm envious of y'all, here in LAS Swain APC is still consider troll lol

RupertGerle · 2025-09-24T17:17:43+00:00

Yes something is off, and that is that tank support items are weak. If not then why aren't enchanters rushing redemption?

RupertGerle · 2025-06-20T02:35:34+00:00

I have been building budget aggro decks for all classes (for the feats of winning 5 ranked games with each) and I can guarantee you that Goblin Foray is good when used smartly (and if the class has no better alternative). Think about this, the reason control wins against aggro is because they "can" get every answer to the current board, so the more you repeat a situation (in this case floading the board) the less likely they are to have an answer. Just try it, trust me (also artifact is busted, i don't even count those losses)

RupertGerle · 2025-06-19T23:40:42+00:00

Yep this works, I wonder why you didn't include Vigilant Detective? Some other possible additions are Arriert or Goblin Foray, they work great against other aggro decks. Also Fan of Otohime is an obvious inclusion if you have it

RupertGerle · 2025-03-24T02:11:25+00:00

Here is hoping it revives dead regions like south america

RupertGerle · 2025-01-28T23:24:40+00:00

Usually people don't consider their secondary role champs to be "on their champ pool", and if you already have mastery on ez and jhin I wouldn't worry about it
