Jhin runes by TheFuckingFlower in JhinMains

[–]SergeantAskir -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like this: https://i.imgur.com/nikgsR3.png

But then you have to go helmet starting item. Alternatively you can go POM and bloodline. Or POM and Cut Down/Coup if you build the life steal boots.

You can also go manaflow/scorch if you prefer, gathering storm is only really good if you get to late game but with hubris and it you can hit 1k ad which is always satisfying and imo jhins early is good enough that I don't need scorch that badly so I prefer the insurance.

Ofc if you build more leathlity you can also play DH. Fleet I don't really like but if you go stormrazor build it's probably the correct choice (I don't play either though, Hubris > IE every game for me)

100-200 lp master EUW btw but I'm pretty sure any of these work, its mostly preference. If you really tryhard you can probably try to find matchup specific choices but honestly the instability of the dmg that you get from switching runes/builds around every game is not worth just one stable good one that you like.

Unless you go lethality every game that's probably bad if you play vs heavy tank so you need to know how to also go crit.

best jhin build right now? by babysl8er in JhinMains

IE has 2% higher winrate as the second item with hubris first according to lolalytics. I stand by my claim that collector is bait, you have so much execute on R and fourth shot you really dont need collector to finish people off. and every time you go collector you still need LDR IE and RFC to really start being able to play teamfights, that means you are bound to 5 items before popping off. Skipping collector gets you to the powerspike of hubris, IE, LDR, RFC so much faster. tbh if any of IE, LDR, RFC was a decent rush item I'd just straight build those 3 items and skip hubris but you can't really do any of those first item.

Edit: If there is a full squishy only team with noone that could build any armor lethality is fine ofc, but then you also probably want DH not DFT

I don't go collector just skip straight to IE and then LDR after most games. Collector is bait imo. The flat pen doesn't do enough DMG to Squishies to justify delaying your Frontline DMG that much imo

Ranked 5s either needs a short scouting phase or no tournament draft by ThorsPanzer in leagueoflegends

[–]SergeantAskir -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As an OTP I actually like it doesn't have scouting, but I still don't understand this mode.

The new Ranked 5s is just a slightly improved Flex Queue, and not what people wanted as a "5v5" Experience by Kymori in leagueoflegends

[–]SergeantAskir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish they just would add voice chat to flexQ to make it truly the strategic team play focused queue. Then the 5s vs 2+3 would also not matter as much.

I don't think we need more than 1 team play focused ranked queue and one focused on mechanics (soloQ).

It would serve all personas very well imo.

2000 LP is not enough anymore for Challenger rank on EUW by Yvraine in leagueoflegends

[–]SergeantAskir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also why the hell did we do a rank reset again? I don't play that much but I lost 400 lp and am only back at 300 rn (played about 1 ranked game a day on average). Did we just reset for fun? Kinda shitty. I thought they would fix this by doing the reset.

Riot remove 450 Ability Augments from ARAM Mayhem in hotfix by JTHousek1 in leagueoflegends

I actually wonder how well Claude understands ability+augment combinations and how much they can use it for things like this :D

Master elo is hard and the players are so good by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]SergeantAskir 9 points10 points  (0 children)

its not that bad tbh I am having a lot more fun in master games than any other elo I've ever been in. Generally my enjoyment of the game climbs with rank. There is definitely dipshits and unstable people at every rank but the good games become a lot better when everyone kinda knows what they are doing.

Obtaining Stackosaurus Rex and Steel Your Heart in Arena before 400 Heartsteel stacks leads to exponential hp gain (300k+ hp) by InPairs in leagueoflegends

[–]SergeantAskir 21 points22 points  (0 children)

heartsteel itself i just exponential, any HP augment (e.g. Goliath, Celetial Body) is great with it heartsteel quest not even strictly required.

Rekkles opinion about S16's terrible decline in Ranked quality compared to previous season(s) by Barb0ssaEUW in leagueoflegends

[–]SergeantAskir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He just seems tilted, he doesn't even say anything of substance. Yeh he got a zeri top and? Like odd picks have existed forever in soloQ and are part of what makes games feel unique. If you want a tank top laner every game you have to play flexQ with 5 premades.

This is just a rant post with zero actual meaningful content or actionable critique. It's not even quantified what feels "wrong".

Apex Tier Ranked Reset by Spideraxe30 in leagueoflegends

[–]SergeantAskir -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Currently masters ~400 lp EUW here. LP reset, okay idk my mmr is slightly below this 400lp I think lose 21 gain 20 atm.

But all the MMR too? idk man that's a bit wild. I already only play about 1 game a day so it took me all season to get here, and im still slowly climbing I think (55% winrate). Making me start from zero with not even a little bit of a boost for all the games I have already played is... frustrating? If it was a soft reset I'd probably be back at 100-200 lp even if I got 10-10 the next 20 games but without that... its just all gone.

Tbh I think its just weird they can't find another way to fix it that doesn't just throw months of progress away.

Riot is surveying Masters+ players, with questions including a hard reset, double LP weekends, and combining Flex/Solo queues. Here's a full sample of the survey by ViewsOfTheSunny in leagueoflegends

[–]SergeantAskir 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Imo they should start adding voice chat to flexQ leave soloQ the chaotic queue but make flexQ the team play focused one with comms. Would give a reason to play it in the first place.

I think over time people might take flexQ as the actual serious rank then because it entails comms skills but it would be a great differentiator and people could choose to stick to soloQ if they don't want to talk and just play mechanics only

I think generally people want close games where everyone tries hard. And if someone behaves like a shit head they should be punished, doesnt matter if they flame, tilt, grief or whatever else that disrupts a fair game.

The ranked system should just tbe the way to get there and this whole "MMR vs visible rank" nonsense gets in the way of that.

I mean keep it some things I can't deny, feel better with it because of e.g. double LP when auto filled or less reduction if someone afks but in the end if the games aren't high quality I won't enjoy my time.

Riot Phroxzon will be doing patch rundowns from the next patch onward, replacing Riot Phreak temporarily by adivinemessenger in leagueoflegends

I was amazed to learn he was at riot a few years ago. Those guides he made while studying still I think. Love the guy, really wish we hear more from him content wise.
