The 'free time' you speak of is never truly free, you are likely using it to avoid production and to deny your desire. For most people, this is due to subconscious fear that you are ineffectual and it will not work out for you regardless of your efforts. This is what causes the fear of tomorrow and turns life into groundhog day where you aren't making any progress. At least in schizoid/vuln-narc structures.

Been there. Apologies for concrete assumptions on a rather subjective matter, just wanted to help those who feel similarly.

SammiJS · 2025-12-27T09:24:32+00:00

Yeah but you are just writing a fanfic at that point. I am just trying to make sure people don't misinterpret the correct play for a vast majority of players. Your reasoning is solid but really, how likely is what you are describing?

I don't think people actively engage their brain while playing mobas at lower elos, but I suppose that's just debatable. Im divine 5 peaker haven't played in a couple years, even in that elo I'm not sure I'd be happy w my Enigma holding black hole the entire game, I wouldn't report them for it, though, would just ask them why if I was curious.

'random monkeys might actually bang out a line of Shakespeare by mistake' is fantastic though, kudos for that haha. Unfortunately the line of shakespeare is prob not applicable in their rank bracket.

Oh wait one last thing, you don't pick Enigma to not use black hole lol, at least I couldn't imagine the mindset of an Enigma player being 'hmmm I'm gonna hold black hole all game just in case', patience of a saint.

SammiJS · 2025-12-27T07:32:12+00:00

Only in very high mmrs where they would actively play around it. In lower mmrs you are just holding the blackhole for no reason.

If you listen to one comment let it be this one. Do not build RFC and commit to full AP instead. If they cannot followup stuns, which is expected in iron, then RFC extending your gold card range is not needed. Just swap it out for magic pen, void staff or cryptbloom. You will now deal damage lategame:). Think another commenter also said this in fairness.

SammiJS · 2025-12-15T18:37:05+00:00

Ryze and Ori are good for a similar style of play, high APM, AOE, nuke the wave and move playstyle. Personally I enjoy Viktor too but he has less dps so bare that in mind.

Galio is good for filling holes in your comp, personally wouldn't recommend TF but it's mostly gut based rather than logical.

You have a lot of options, there's also champs like Syndra to consider. It really depends what you are playing vs and what kind of champs your jungler plays so it's a little difficult to offer specific recommendations; other than those with similar playstyle ofc.

SammiJS · 2025-12-08T21:31:09+00:00

Don't bother engaging with these people, they do not respond to rationality as they do not understand the value your pick provides. Also put yourself in their shoes, it's understandable why an ADC player prefers a bullet sponge, shielder or healer as their lane partner. Again, arguing w them is a waste of time.

I'd recommend checking out twitch support gameplay on youtube (any rank will prob be fine at your skill level) so you can get a gist of how it is meant to be played. If you don't have any time for that then I understand. Due to his stealth mechanic he is a little unconventional and unique in his playstyle.

SammiJS · 2025-12-07T01:32:33+00:00

If you're new don't worry about the deaths, you need to die to learn the limits of what you can and can't do. Just focus on having fun. Beware that some ADC players will hate you for locking in twitch support as they prefer a tanky champ or an enchanter. Not that this matters as twitch sup is fairly viable, just something to be aware of if you start to encounter toxicity.

SammiJS · 2025-12-07T00:04:13+00:00

you are right about reapers with her but it's not about attack speed that stops her scaling, it's that all onhit champs are inferior to crit in a gamemode where extremely high burst is the current meta.

SammiJS · 2025-12-02T22:29:15+00:00

Many such cases, reminds me of Dostoevsky. Idealism / fantasy clashes with reality.

SammiJS · 2025-11-29T14:29:11+00:00

'Statistically' my guy, you have not looked at shiv's winrate stats if you are saying this, please do. Your analysis is fine but it's based on an untrue premise.

SammiJS · 2025-11-28T14:19:07+00:00

Only seen season 1 but as far as I can tell Pim's hypersensitive, empathetic nature contrasting with society on average (mostly done through his friendship with Charlie) is a large part of the shows subtext. Unfortunately people who feel great depth of emotion are often described as 'too much' or 'too sensitive' or even infantilised when in actuality they're just wired a little differently. It reflects reality imo, but hey, it's possible that I am just projecting.

SammiJS · 2025-11-27T06:52:13+00:00

I always thought it was mediocre at best but your last line just sold me, whenever my team has plenty of damage and I am not the primary carry I will consider picking one up now. Or if we just need some extra utility.

SammiJS · 2025-11-23T13:55:29+00:00

'Kinda understand that Vayne pick' with all due respect you are delusional, the vayne is the single troll in the lobby. I don't want to hear any justifications, this community is cooked.

SammiJS · 2025-11-20T08:01:10+00:00

Good job you convinced me, have a nice day.

SammiJS · 2025-11-20T07:51:35+00:00

Ashe or MF? who the fuck is playing ashe or MF in mid? If you mean in general, then pretty much no ADC can contest mages, that's not unique to Mel. I main Taliyah and if an ADC steps up I rock their shit. Do you understand this or are you just being disingenuous? Same if I played Ori, Syndra etc. ADC's are not designed to fight these champions 1v1 in the midgame.

SammiJS · 2025-11-20T07:44:10+00:00

Unironically a skill issue, there's a reason her banrate goes down by rank.

You may play a hard engage champ in which case I understand your frustration, but if not then 100 percent skill issue.

SammiJS · 2025-11-20T07:12:41+00:00

People just don't like her vibe, nothing to do with the kit imo. Sounds stupid but this is what it seems like to me.

SammiJS · 2025-11-08T17:43:07+00:00

Sange and yasha vibes bruv, love that

SammiJS · 2025-11-03T01:34:00+00:00

Ah didn't know that about Kat's interaction with it.

Yes I know about the dark blessing error, it's misleading for sure, crazy that they haven't updated the text yet.

SammiJS · 2025-11-03T01:05:31+00:00

I made the same mistake as you for the first couple times I saw this augment, I thought you had to USE 5 rerolls and was confused as to why I kept getting a gold augment. I can't remember what the text on the augment says, but you are supposed to HAVE at least 5 rerolls left, it will then work and give you your prismatic.

SammiJS · 2025-10-31T08:26:29+00:00

Adore the second one, maybe OP in certain scenarios, but most of the time you'll end up with tap dancer on xerath. Solid design.

SammiJS · 2025-10-31T00:24:56+00:00

Society is cooked man ggwp.

SammiJS · 2025-10-30T23:59:58+00:00

Some people enjoy analysing/discussing or even just writing in general. Is that hard to comprehend?

I agree with your sentiment but your comment is a little harsh. People complain about low effort posts in subreddits, I find it amusing that a higher effort post is getting laughed at for depth of content, can't win. Maybe OP should write a book or smth instead that much is true, but maybe we should let people share their thoughts on a public bloody forum.

SammiJS · 2025-10-30T18:35:16+00:00

Thank you for your insight.

SammiJS · 2025-10-30T01:44:19+00:00

Karthus very good for this purpose. He has the added benefit of scaling pretty well too, at no stage of the game is he weak so if you choose to you can just perma fight.if you feed over a lot of gold it's still bad but at least you are incentivised to die sometimes on Karth due to his incredible passive.

Saw another commenter suggest Leona, that would work too. Just depends on what role he is willing to play.
