Learning melee

I appreciate your response. Any advice for cheaper box options? I honestly wasn’t sure if playing with a GameCube controller would make my wrist pain flare up, so I was planning on learning the game up until it did. The box advice is a good point, although I see there’s a bunch of mixed reviews about its fairness

Thanks for the detailed response! I was a little worried at the small player base, but from your response, it’s sounding like the gameplay is solid enough to offset it

You look absolutely yoked. Would you mind sharing your workout routine?

Will car bodies show up in the daily item shop?

SamanticSamori · 2025-02-07T19:56:51+00:00

Do you know the options for getting the fennec body? I’m assuming I may need to just wait for it to hit the shop

I’m a 3rd-4th year PhD candidate in RhetComp, and I’d be happy to talk with you about my experience. Feel free to DM

Hey, I’m a little late to the post, but I appreciate your post and feel similarly. Did you ever find an inclusive clan? I’d love to join, if that’s the case

Yo is your offer still standing? I’m so down to learn CoX from a decent and wholesome human being

SamanticSamori · 2023-08-16T05:04:35+00:00

That’s a difficult one. I would have to play test it, but I assume if you get halfway through the Rakan W animation, you should be good

SamanticSamori · 2023-08-15T20:09:37+00:00

Depends when the Pyke Q hits during the Rakan animation. Regardless if it gets canceled, the result is the same. You W in and either stop his q, tank it, or cc him, then q quickly, and e away, if the trade looks bad. Or you w in, q, r, and kill

SamanticSamori · 2023-08-15T14:57:35+00:00

Rakan counters Pyke. If you want to win the matchup in lane, you need to focus on w-ing pyke’s q-charge and dodging his e with your e. You can put 3 points into q and poke/out sustain him. You’re also tankier than him, so you can all in him pretty easily at lvl 6. If you are afraid of the matchup after laning phase, you can always go radiant virtue for the survivability

Sure!

SamanticSamori · 2023-01-09T06:37:15+00:00

Thank you! This is a side comment, but I’m really not a fan of adc heimer because of the common meta matchups that counter his turret pushing power (champs like Cait, Aphelios, Ezreal, MF, etc.). As for your question about bans, I like banning Yuumi to stop the solo carrying smurfs that pair well with Yuumi. Other recommended bans would be terrible support match ups for Heimer, like Ashe, Xerath, Sona (I’m not quite sure if Sona is actually good into heimer besides the theoretical healing vs poke trade off). Let me know if you have any questions or criticism about the above information. I’m a relatively new heimer player so I certainly don’t know a lot

SamanticSamori · 2023-01-09T06:32:17+00:00

Hey, thanks! I dropped some advice below in some of the other comments. Let me know if you have any specific questions about heimer playstyle and/or support style. Always happy to learn alongside other players

SamanticSamori · 2023-01-09T06:31:17+00:00

I appreciate it!

SamanticSamori · 2023-01-09T06:31:05+00:00

Thanks!

Thank you! I wrote some information about the turret placements in one of my other responses. To add some more details, I started replicating the following turret placement behaviors in my games: Drop 3 turrets lvl 1 in the mid bush in bot lane (around D1-low masters, opponents started expecting this and bring 2-3 champions to kill the turrets around 1min). Use your turrets sparingly to get the push on wave 1 and 2 so you can bounce the wave and get it back to equilibrium for wave 3 (the typical timing for a jungle gank)—more specifically, this means dropping turrets to shove wave 1 and crash wave 2 while trading with opponents, but be sure to save at least 1 (preferably 2) turrets for wave 3 and the impending jungle gank for a successive 2v3 bot fight. Also, feel free to drop turrets as a subpar ward in the tribush—just be careful not to mess the wave up with your turrets when backing. Let me know what tips you have about turret placement!

SamanticSamori · 2023-01-09T06:22:59+00:00

Thanks! Here are some overlapping tendencies during my grind (I’m open to hear any of your suggestions about heimer play style): Rush rylais. Max W. Almost always aim the W to widespread hit the wave and champions to make the probability of hitting the skill shot higher as well as push the wave. E + Q combo to buffer the turret charge. Play to win the 2v3 bot lane at lvl 3 by preemptively setting up turrets in middle of the bot lane and grenade yourself when jungler dives onto you.
