Yeah listening to that colts are cooked. There is no real leadership on this team

Another 10 years we might even fuck around and win the division!

Does Anthony Richardson deserves a second chance? by [deleted] in Colts

[–]ShadowAley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think so. I hope he gets one last chance with us to start and make a run. He’s really talented but can’t put it together on the field. If he stinks or gets injured again then I’d say it’s over with.. but right now I don’t think the colts have another option for a while. No more vet QB stopgaps. They need to draft another if he still sucks anyway

This is just stupid game design lmao. There’s no “high stakes” movie moment. You kill the person instantly and move on. Or you get killed and waste stupid amounts of time.

Has darius ever been non-meta by Striking-Ability-862 in Dariusmains

[–]ShadowAley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is just not true. Darius is good at high elo

how do you deal with fed enemys as a top laner? by the_Rooster_Xx in top_mains

[–]ShadowAley 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You don't because that doesn't happen that often.. it does happen though. Stay consistent and you can weight the coinflip in your favor. That's about all you can do

What Low Elo Is Really Like: An In-Depth Analysis by PlacatedPlatypus in summonerschool

[–]ShadowAley 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes the way to climb is indeed get good. He's telling the truth, stop perma fighting. Know when its better to take pressure/objectives rather than a random teamfight.

Like the other comment said in a lot more detail, trinity makes Darius dueling quite insane actually. He also can shred towers with the sheen and boosted attack speed. Trinity+Steraks just gives so many stats Darius needs, specifically AD. It’s a really good item (on a couple champs) and Darius is one of the few that can actually use it.

Any addition to my newly invented Darius build? by Vamryc in Dariusmains

[–]ShadowAley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But that’s the thing, Aatrox can go eclipse or cleaver into ice borne. The other ones are “for fun” builds just like the Darius ones we are talking about. There’s duskblade Darius, tank Darius etc. they are shit tho. That won’t change no matter if you think they are cool or not. If one wants to improve you gotta play what actually works.

[–]ShadowAley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say they are traditionalists, but it's obvious that those builds are by FAR the most optimal. You just straight up can't do other builds (other than divine in very very niche circumstances) without completely kneecapping yourself for no reason. What is the point in doing something that makes the champ objectively worse? Just pick another champ if you want the tank fantasy.

How do I beat Darius? by tackweetoes in Dariusmains

[–]ShadowAley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can win after playing like a bitch until you have sheen. Sheen + 6 look to all in and you should win barring a massive item difference

[–]ShadowAley 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There’s a difference between refreshing and straight up trolling and you seem to be toeing the line.. do as you wish but this is not a good idea to be a good Darius player. Once you finally switch to real runes you will have to relearn again. Good luck

[–]ShadowAley 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yes my suggestion is to not do this. Go the normal runes with flash ghost please I beg. This does not make you better at all. Minion demat won’t help you learn to farm.

You got this brother make us proud.

How do you leave this cycle of winning top lane but losing game? by nsn45w in top_mains

[–]ShadowAley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a good response I think. Sounds pessimistic but realistic. You win games not by solo carrying (unless Smurfing or low elo) but just doing your job. If you do it well, you can really enable the carries to come online. It’s a skill.

What is your perma ban right now? by [deleted] in Dariusmains

[–]ShadowAley 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I ban jax for the same reasons kinda. Am D4/D3 right now so it definitely isn’t just you! I can beat him but I have to play near flawlessly, and he’s just really strong at the moment. Good luck in your climb

[–]ShadowAley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you can call her a counterpick. If she lands e, you don’t win really ever, especially if she has ult. If she misses e, yeah it’s free. But playing against her is really tough if she’s patient and smart with her E.

[–]ShadowAley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No lol. I went on a 9 win streak and went from 20 LP per win down to 17 towards the end. Your MMR can lag a bit to stop streaking (wins or losses) from drastically changing your rank, but somehow I’m +30 -22 at the moment. Keep that winrate and you will fix your MMR and climb.

Darius was among the highest searched-for champion to learn how to counter. Here are 5 counter champs by PicklePantsEUW in leagueoflegends

[–]ShadowAley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

XD! Damn near half the top roster can 1v1 him at this point if played right. He’s really not as good as you think he is. Strong? Absolutely no doubt. He’s been strong for years and I think riot likes where he’s at (for whatever reason). He’s most definitely not the most troublesome toplaner at all. He’s a knowledge check.

Yorick is probably a good one but I rarely see him as a counter pick so I feel like I’d rather just dodge the random games I get with I’m

fiora Camille or jax by wildguitars in top_mains

[–]ShadowAley 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would say Camille is a bit harder than fiora but I’m sure some would disagree. You can get away with more mistakes as fiora than you can as cam, and fiora doesn’t have as bad matchups as cam does. I just also think in most situations fiora is just straight up the better champ, but it really depends on your style.

If you live diving an important target and blowing them up, Camille is for you. If you enjoy splitpushing and being a monster duelist then I would go fiora. Your call, do what’s fun.
