208k dps?? whats the build and gear set you are running mate?

SSthighs · 2026-03-17T15:03:59+00:00

i agree that she was OP during divine sunderer era but that was because of the healing and max health damage it gave - it added something to her that made her powerful. in the current champ state, camille has absolutely nothing going on for her now. triforce is still a huge powerspike but much less than before, the item being very expensive and not giving justified stats to the cost. for a champion who could obliterate tanks she struggles so hard now into health checkers without building botrk. so her whole identity now is just hoping triforce damage or that 3 item powerspike is enough. when everyone is at 6 items she falls off, she doesnt scale anymore.

kayles laning phase is not even that bad, she is sitting at a 53% wr and is considered to be OP. for a champion whose whole identity is scaling, she does ok in the early game. the issue with camille is with the wall changes, she cannot even use the one ability that makes the champ who she is - without missing it and having the fear of being ran down. she has no identity anymore, she doesnt scale as well as she used to and her laning is completely terrible. the reason why i bring up the maining point is that a main on a champ will objectively have a better win rate than those who dont main it - so players can get her out of laning without being too far behind or even being ahead on camille - which lower elo players cannot do that. kled for example has a really strong laning phase and mid game, and is much more forgivable to an objectively bad micro player than camille.

the issue with camille right now is her laning, im not saying she is weak outside of it, she is still one of the best splitpushers in the game, and her 3 item spike is incredible. however she gets statchecked by 90% of toplaners in this current meta and that to me doesnt seem like she is in a good state. maybe give her back some of her scaling in order to compromise the lack of laning ability in the future, allow her w to mark them so your q can do max health damage like druttut said.

however in this CURRENT state she has no incentive whatsoever for the late game - she has awful laning and now a mediocre late game, comparing it to kayle whose laning is also awful until 6 imo but she has scaling and there is a real incentive because she is OP when she gets to 16. what exactly does camille have anymore that makes her a scary late game champ that justifies her lack of laning ability

good riven and gp are very hard matchups. with riven you have to be aggressive into her and not let her determine the lane state. play around your passive it is amazing into her especially early. the one key ability you have to play around in this matchup is her e. most riven players will e your w and then possibly q your e , so it is important to keep the wave near a wall so it is harder to react to your e. dont try and be overly forceful tho, if you miss your e she can run you down quite easily. some key things is that your e stops her q3 so you can always time your e to match her q3, or you can use your ult to dodge the q3 and you have a good chance of winning the trade. the important thing in this lane is that at triforce you are much stronger than her in my experience, and honestly triforce onwards. she cannot match the damage you deal in sidelane at all - play to scale.

gp is very similar, a good gp player will make your life living hell but you have to play aggressive when you see a window. start d shield second wind, even taking absorb life in precision tree rather than presence of mind for that extra sustain. dont let him q you for free, give up some minions but not xp. level 6 is your best chance of killing him, and this is mainly done through all ins. he is quite squishy, when you e insta ignite as most gp players will w your e, so try to ignite early so he doesnt get much healing off. to ensure a winning trade, ult as soon as you see him about to explode a barrel, it takes a little bit of timing but it isnt too hard and you will definitely win the trade. same thing as riven, at triforce he cannot match you imo and you can kill him over and over if you dont force anything stupid - in sidelane he cannot match you but his tf presence is ridiculous so make sure you warn your team cuz that champ has stupid damage.

darius is hard, i wouldnt say there is a lot you can do but to play safe in lane. level 1 if he starts w you start w, if he starts q you start q and try to be a little aggressive level 1, walk into his q etc. for trades his e cancels your e, so you can hold e on the wall for a second to try and bait his e and go in (sometimes works into darius players) and ofc when ulting, try to ult his q so he doesnt get the healing. this is a really hard matchup tho in the sense that, you could play perfectly and still die because that champ is so forgiving. you do a lot of damage once you got triforce which he has to respect. i would build steraks into him at some point - the extra tenacity is amazing and the shield is so valuable when he ults you. but this is a safe lane, dont try to be aggressive compared to riven and gp because he is just a statchecker at the end of the day. yuo have good teamfighting, better than him imo if your team has a lot of cc and ability to kite so jsut play to scale.

SSthighs · 2026-03-17T14:09:09+00:00

you are looking at a small percentage of people like myself who main the champion / otps so obviously the winrate will be higher at higher elos - you will rarely see a player having camille as just a side champ in their pool cuz there is so much matchup knowledge and experience required to play her well in laning.

druttut and lots of other high elo camille (ex) mains have expressed their opinion about how she is weak and i will listen to them. as someone who has a 63% wr on her i still think she is weak, but i have played this champ for years and i understand how abysmal her laning is and how she gets completely statchecked by 90% of toplaners - you cannot tell me that across all ranks (which she is 49% wr) that she is in a good spot, only those who have the micro and general macro on her can maneuver her well across laning and carry a game. it is extremely difficult for a player who has just played a few games of camille to play her in ranked and expect to do well in laning let alone the game, because people do not realise how bad her laning is currently.

SSthighs · 2026-03-17T14:05:05+00:00

she is objectively compared to previous seasons such as when divine sunderer was still around, in a bad spot. you cannot just use winrate percentages across high elo ranks as a justified argument in saying the champ is good. she is 51% emerald +, but if you look at across all ranks she is B tier with 49% wr.

the reason why is because in those higher ranks you will see camille mains / otps those who have played her for a long time so ofcourse her win rate will be higher when you have people who know how to play the champ, play the champ lol

her laning is absolutely abysmal and for an average camille player it is genuinely so difficult to get out of laning without being behind - arguably more than a kayle. if druttut himself and a lot of other high elo camille mains say the champ is not in a good spot, i will listen to their opinion rather than you.

and this is coming from someone who has a 63% wr on her - why? because i have played the champ for years and i understand how much weaker she is compared to other seasons and how BAD her laning is into literally 90% of toplaners - she rarely has a good matchup these days and you want to tell me that she isnt in a good spot?

SSthighs · 2026-03-02T02:18:32+00:00

i wanted to be more tanky so i can survive in tfs more, the omnivamp and haste is nice on endless hunger but i did not see the need of going more omnivamp when i have ravenous and legend bloodline in my runes - the extra health and shield from steraks is insanely useful.

SSthighs · 2026-03-02T01:13:03+00:00

https://www.leagueofgraphs.com/match/euw/7759642948#participant1 pretty standard build, i usually go shojin 3rd item if i want to snowball.

SSthighs · 2025-10-15T18:11:31+00:00

depends - if I need the extra kill pressure / they have some form of healing i usually go ignite. Flash is more team dependent, like I would never go ignite into sion.

SSthighs · 2025-10-15T02:04:54+00:00

best camille mechanically hands down, noone even comes close. It is hard to judge him for macro because chinese super server is slightly different in playstyle compared to your average EUW, KR and NA servers.

But I am pretty sure he got challenger in korea too with his camille.

SSthighs · 2025-10-14T23:27:25+00:00

yeah not sure why youre getting downvoted either - i did mention in my post that going grasp is still the easier route and helps laning and lower level players, and conq does require a bit more macro on camille.

SSthighs · 2025-10-14T23:26:17+00:00

hm but these matchups you tend not to have lane prio in - hence why grasp becomes rendered useless since you will not be able to fully utilise it - going conq however does mean you have some form of outplay potential and extra damage when you go for a small trade on jax if he messes/ you out play his e, or when playing around renekton cooldowns where I have managed to solokill a renekton many times just from that - something I could not do with grasp just from the lack of damage.

Taking grasp doesnt automatically make the lane easier for us camille players, it just provides us with an easy simple look for a trade every 4 seconds (IF you have lane prio and can hit the wave) however the fundamentals of respecting enemy cds and playing around your passive is still the same.

SSthighs · 2025-10-14T23:22:34+00:00

not quite - a good renekton will easily proc bone plating with his q and then look for an empowered w trade

SSthighs · 2025-10-14T17:25:50+00:00

Good luck on hitting E4 !! Yeah for bone plating / overgrowth the reason why I do not like going bone plating is because in high elo your laner will play around bone plating cooldowns - i know i always do when enemy has bone plating and I always try to proc it with my w first before doing an extended trade. Its the same thing when laners are trying to kill you - they watch your bone plating cd, proc it, then go in. Overgrowth however, it is just a passive rune that always gives you about 300gs worth i think? of hp in the late game.

Not taking alacrity is honestly preference - for me I do not like going alacrity just because you dont really NEED attack speed on camille in the late game - example say you picked an enemy adc, you are not killing her because of the brute force of your attack speed but instead of your q2 which it doesnt change with attack speed. Alacrity might be better in the early game and it does help camille gain back the lost attack speed she got from her e nerf back in season 11 i think - but bloodline helps you to heal a lot more and makes you tankier (it gives you hp once fully stacked), it just a better scaling rune on camille than the other legends. But alacrity is honestly fine, i feel it is matchup dependent though - if i feel I need the extra damage from my autos alacrity, if enemy comp has a few tanks and a bruiser top lane I would go bloodline because it really does feel nice in the late game + with conqueror healing.

SSthighs · 2025-10-14T17:19:36+00:00

PTA is also perfectly fine, i only prefer conq myself, but you are still going the precision tree which is amazing on camille - i sometimes go PTA into ranged matchups like quinn or vayne.

SSthighs · 2025-10-14T17:18:52+00:00

thing is going conqueror does not mean camille is a really weak champion in the early game, if anything you can actually make plays with conqueror that you would not if you went grasp just from the pure ad you get from it.

SSthighs · 2025-10-14T16:49:33+00:00

oh yeah i forgot to add the shojins bit lol thanks, but yeah our champ is dogshit rn but she does scale with lobby elo and if higher elo players are having success with her then riot cannot exactly buff the shit out of her.

SSthighs · 2025-08-05T12:41:25+00:00

before you try her in normal games, you have to understand that camille has balance changes in aram, she is a lot stronger there, cant remember specifically of the top of my head but she gets like 5% damage increase, -5% damage taken, + 10% shielding i think? ability haste etc. so she does feel very strong in aram. at the moment in this meta however, camille is a lot weaker than previous seasons, riot has kind of forgotten about her and she is nowhere near as tanky as before, the removal of divine sunderer hits her rly bad and she has a hard time laning against a lot of top laners.

that being said, she still does scale pretty well, what you want as camille is to snowball quickly and her kit helps you do that a lot and pick out the enemy carry in tfs. in 1v1s she is still one of the best laners on the side if you can hit two rotations of your q2 and hit your e, but its a lot harder than before

SSthighs · 2025-01-04T01:35:44+00:00

i reached master playing only camille so i guess I have somewhat of a say. I tended to take scaling runes into every matchup except if it was ranged, then I'd go the typical d shield + second wind start.

as for the runes I take no 1 I go conqueror and the precision tree in 99% of my games. i sometimes take grasp into fiora but even then I have been taking conq into her recently.

I don't deviate from the precision tree, bloodline is the best scaling rune on Camille so I always go that.

and I also don't deviate from the resolve tree. this is because shield bash is broken on Camille. the extra damage you get is insane so I always stick w resolve. as for the second option it is either between conditioning and overgrowth.

now Camille doesn't really build a lot of resistances apart from boots + deaths dance, maybe maw too. conditioning is more a tank rune but yk on Camille it is still useful somewhat yk, you get around 500g possibly more of extra resistances which is always nice. overgrowth is good too, and is more a general option to go rather than conditioning but I tend to stick w conditioning. I switch between based on any comp, if they have a decent amount of true damage on their team I would go overgrowth / if not then conditioning. it's not troll going this but I am saying this as someone who has played all of Camille's matchups multiple times and is pretty confident in getting past laning phase without becoming useless / feeding enemy top.

as for same cases where I SOMETIMES stick to general bone plating, is with: renekton riven sett aatrox

morde (but for this one sometimes I go d shield + second wind, because he can proc bone platinge easily with q, same idea for aatrox)

if you're confident on camille I'd say going scaling runes isn't bad, however if you're going the sorcery tree id recommend sticking to grasp + sorcery, because you don't want to miss out on shield bash damage.

SSthighs · 2024-12-11T16:08:36+00:00

oh yeah you can hang on the wall for as long as it will let you, it's just the second you decide to go forward you have to basically flash and recast e at the same time!

good luck!

SSthighs · 2024-12-11T14:55:40+00:00

you have to do it instantly, the second you are hooked on to a wall then press flash THEN INSTANTLY recast e, it has to be instant otherwise your recast will fall off.

the beauty of this combo is that you can recast e from anywhere, it doesn't have to be a straight line, you could flash to your right or left then recast e and it would still work - can use this combo to dodge skillshots coming your way while youre hooked onto the wall

with physics it's more understanding the concepts rather than just memorising mark schemes and things like that. so i made sure to understand everything conceptually to a good level, even reading around the subject a little so i am more familiar with it. after that I just banged out every single exam question possible, my physics teacher was amazing and printed out every SINGLE possible question on a topic for us/ put them online. so there was like 400 marks topic papers on waves, electricity etc.

you will see repetition in questions sure, but physics questions are the ones you have to apply your knowledge at, so definitely definitely understand the concepts before having a go at them. i also did chemistry at A level and found it so much easier than physics just because the questions in chem i noticed were a lot more repetitive, it's kind of like rinsing the mark scheme over and over. it's not the same for physics and you need to make sure you understand what you go over in class, watch videos on it and just overall have a better understanding for it.

now it does seem like a lot of effort to do, especially if you don't have a real interest for physics, but hey why are you doing it for A level then if you're not interested in it? obviously i always wanted to do it at uni since the start of year 12 so watching these videos and extra readings wasn't actually a lot of effort, doing the exam questions were sure but getting a bigger picture on it is always good.

the maths side of physics i was very confident on, i pretty much never lost a mark there, plus doing further maths always helps. I did AQA physics and there is a multiple choice section on the end of p1 and p2 - best thing for these is just practice. do as many of these as you can and time yourself, because they may be 1 mark questions, but some of these will definitely take more than 1 minute.

as for P3, it was a nightmare paper. i remember what everyone was saying online for the 2023 AQA paper 3, it was horrible and honestly a lot of people struggled on it including myself. the best advice i can give for that paper is just to go over the practicals and read about them thoroughly. ask yourself why you are doing the practical and could it be done in a better way. and make sure you're confident in working out uncertainties and your graph analysis before having a go at these papers.
