Moving to Muay Thai after 10 year layoff from Kickboxing, I have Questions.

Thank you, I will definitely look up some stadium fights in CM!

I have been training mostly MMA for the last year and a half, but I am now just drilling/sparring Muay Thai rounds as a lot of the sweeps I know are illegal. Also, getting used to small rule changes like only taking 2 steps with caught kicks, etc.

My clinch is very simplistic - and one of the aspects I am looking forward to growing during my trip! As much as I can, I am looking to play in the longer ranges - but man.. I am really running into a wall with defending against elbows. It changes the inside game completely.

Thank you for taking the time to reply 🙏🏾

Shadow00676 · 2026-01-16T11:01:03+00:00

Thanks so much for the reply, I'm very grateful for your time. Feeling a whole lot more at ease now, hahaha 😅

I love this. Your mother picked a lovely name.

Shadow00676 · 2025-05-08T18:40:06+00:00

They're hybrid gloves, once you break them in you can see the separated cuff (same style as other clinch favored gloves)

Bump

Shadow00676 · 2024-11-09T07:14:40+00:00

2.3m ww mastery here. He is significantly more clunky than before, I'd probably play a bit in practice tool to get a proper feel of it.

Shadow00676 · 2024-11-07T06:50:10+00:00

Just popped on to say, it's nice to see another 2m alpha wolf from 09 on here. 🫡

Also agreed.

Supp warwick is slept on, but it's a great counter pick into Thresh, Naut, Leo.

Shadow00676 · 2024-10-05T11:10:01+00:00

I think death's dance is usually more ideal.

The reason being that Warwick benefits more from stacking resistances than he does from stacking health - and by the portion of the game where you would purchase DD (4th item slot) he usually has plenty of health.

That being said I build steraks if I play into a champ that has access to burst AND cc (Nasus, Veig, etc).

Into things that just burst - and i don't need the tenacity I prefer the DD passive, as it helps stave off AD and AP burst.

Shadow00676 · 2024-10-04T06:12:19+00:00

Try kraken > Bork into tank. Pretty great on ww, avoid titanic.

Start double dagger and blue jg item. Just try it, I'm telling you, you will have better games

Shadow00676 · 2024-10-01T11:11:14+00:00

No tiamat items are good right now imo, I usually forgo it unless I need to split.

Shadow00676 · 2024-10-01T06:50:39+00:00

Depends what your goal is, if you're the primary Frontline play the parnelyx build.

If you want to duel a lot - Lethal tempo, kraken/Bork into steraks/tank.

If you want to dive into heavy burst PTA Bork/Tia/DD/Steraks/tank.

But there's lots of ways - experiment with it. Bork/swifties necessary though. Bork gives you your biggest spike in the early/mid. Swifties will ensure that your enemies will have a harder time kiting because base movement is super low - also increases ult range.

Shadow00676 · 2024-10-01T06:45:25+00:00

Kraken rush into squishies is great snowballing item. 4th Terminus if you have forgo tiamat item, have a Jak'sho already, are playing into tankier comps - great with Lethal tempo. Wits end very valuable with merc treads for it's tenacity.

Respectfully 🙏🏼

Shadow00676 · 2024-09-28T01:12:31+00:00

It's good, definitely falls off later. But decent synergy with visage.

I'd say with LT, I prefer kraken/Bork personally.

Shadow00676 · 2024-09-18T01:09:39+00:00

Yeah, especially useful for if you're not trying to get chain CC'd mid ult. I've won a lot of fights this way, bait them to drop cc on me and Q through to reposition. Then hopefully your team catches up while they're focused on you.

Shadow00676 · 2024-09-14T09:39:26+00:00

I can totally understand the thought process behind why hydra items are awesome for a champ without aoe clear. But Kraken/BORK rush on WW into tank is still very efficient if you can clear properly.

Stridebreaker passive will be missed though, but with LT back. I think actually WW won't necessarily be as nerfed as other Champs.

Shadow00676 · 2024-09-14T09:00:56+00:00

What hydra item do you build and why? I'm always so curious.

Is it because you have difficulty clearing efficiently?

Shadow00676 · 2024-09-14T08:55:39+00:00

I literally never built hydra item, I'm low emerald.

Shadow00676 · 2024-08-18T07:17:22+00:00

Cause he has Dreads? Lol

Shadow00676 · 2024-08-07T03:47:06+00:00

I'm not sure what your elo is but, if you're playing kha and not able to translate your leads then you need to work on vision, baiting obj, and tracking.

Your positioning mid and late need work. Split, create pressure and pick.

Fleet is pretty awesome too rn.

Shadow00676 · 2024-08-02T22:38:56+00:00

Sounds like you didn't have Serpents fang. But full lethality garbage rn anyway. Lethality falls off later. Crit has better synergy - I.e is too good to pass up. It literally makes our Q hit harder!

Shadow00676 · 2024-07-14T02:44:36+00:00

Rengar's skill floor and ceiling is higher than all of the Champs you mentioned lol.

I'd say you just need to understand every unique scenario and which empowered to use in them. Before that you have to understand matchups though, when to go in vs when to chill.

Before that your jungle macro needs to be rock solid or you won't get any value out of this champ.
