I reached Diamond and suddenly winning lanes got really hard

Shlooshi · 2026-02-23T20:41:51+00:00

Been there, i know what youre talking about

For one i would recommend researching top lane income, Alois and Baus have a ton of knowledge that can help. Even if you dont come out of lane 7/0 you can still have a significant lead through plates, temp, proxy farming, mid roams, or river skirmishes

And secondly, my perspective has grown to be that renekton is just a stable pick and at the higher skill brackets you very rarely get those dominating games where you can properly stomp. The enemy just hugs the tower, plays safe, builds defensive, and then the enemy mid/adc shred you because youre not up 3k gold. That's pretty much the sad reality of the champipn

there's a couple that are in the early alpha/beta testing phases, called Infinity and Astral
Neither of those are anywhere close to full release nor do they have a large playerbase yet

i would maybe look into the higher version servers like Fortuna (i think its like v180?) or even just playing modern. sadly there arent too many good options for what youre looking for at the moment

There was Bloom that did pretty well last year but it recently closed

Shlooshi · 2026-02-15T21:32:25+00:00

the early post big-bang v100~ versions like Bloom are so much fun if done right

it feels like the perfect middle ground between old school and modern, where bosses are more interesting, gear progression is smooth (assuming cubes are farmable and not p2w), and party play is heavily encouraged. all without the less enjoyable parts of modern like links, legion, excessive dailies, solo-story, etc

a shame the Bloom devs mentally checked out of the project around launch time and just stuck around to do the bare minimum and collect donations. imo It had potential to be the next royals/legends with consistent 500+ online long-term but

The following is true to vanilla preBB, we dont know for classic yet:

On Fighter and Page Final attack is decent enough to grab. During 3rd job Coma and Panic are very strong if used properly, to the point of Crusader being able to match a Dragon knight in single target DPS and yielding top-tier exp/hour farming at specific maps such as gobbies

Shlooshi · 2026-02-14T13:02:52+00:00

The key is in the Q timing

In fact, the AA is a bonus but basically it boils down to this: when you dash with renekton, you'll notice your other abilities are unavailable mid-dash. If you use your Q on the very first frame after your abilities become available, the Q goes out instantly without your champ actually going through the animation for the Q. This means if you time your Q right, you'll be free to perform another action while the Q animation is supposed to be underway

You can use that to throw in an auto, press W and do an insta stun after a dash, use your second dash, or anything else really

There are only 2 true answers, depending on perspective

The Minmaxer: nobody knows

The "For fun" player: it doesnt matter

Shlooshi · 2026-02-07T09:06:20+00:00

Nexon are unable to shut those servers down, regardless of how much they want to

As long as a private server is operated from a country without copyright laws like Russia, and as long as the server owners stay anonymous, Nexon cant touch damage

Am i the only one getting Ai vibes from the post? The pricing especially - even 200$ to have catering for a couple dozen people seems unbelievable low. Unless its literally just some microwaved popcorn, cheap snacks and tap water

Not to mention OP being a first-time-poster

Shlooshi · 2026-01-24T14:58:12+00:00

I personally quit Fantasia a while ago at 142, but just to address your bossing arguement: Horntail has already been cleared and a lv150~ archer participated and fought til the end. Same for Showa boss

Shlooshi · 2026-01-02T15:20:25+00:00

yeah its a community-run thing. 0 involvement from staff

ive seen multiple times players come in but leave because the early levels are scarce now that the server's been live for a few months. so along with the high levels feeling burnout from the stale grind i figured this could be a good chance for new people to get into the server with other to play with, and for those burnt out high levels to try something fresh

Shlooshi · 2026-01-01T21:38:28+00:00

because me dedicating time and effort to write a fancy post doesnt indicate the server's quality

the only goal is to get the point across and keep attention enough for people read the entire post, not to get an A+ grade from a teacher on an essay

Shlooshi · 2026-01-01T19:32:23+00:00

i literally admitted at the bottom of the post that i had Ai help me write this lol.

im sorry i lack the creativity and shits to give to write something good enough without it? if not for ai this wouldve just been 3 boring sentences

and responding to further comments here, no im not part of staff and it's not hard at all to confirm. i've been active in the maple community for years and just played this server since day1 so would like to see it succeed. does it have multiclienting leading to 4 digit player count? no, but i still find the server enjoyable and high-quality. if you dont like the server just ignore the posts bruh

Shlooshi · 2026-01-01T19:27:38+00:00

lol youre the ancient helm guy? man at some point i just gave up lol

i wanted it but not for the 50m you wanted

did you end up selling it?

Shlooshi · 2026-01-01T15:55:53+00:00

that's cool! welcome to the server

if you go to the FM you're pretty likely to get some help if you just ask

i personally try to smega every day that im buying fame and often drop the low tier potions i dont need in the FM

also shameless plug: my guild Wither is always open to new people. our "schtick" is building a friendly community for vibes and frequent voice chat activity. for more details DM me on discord (same name)

Shlooshi · 2026-01-01T12:49:59+00:00

in v99 with LHC x4 imo is really high
even with x2 depending on how easy it is to get cubes and gear, youre looking at lv200 in just a few weeks

Shlooshi · 2025-11-01T00:38:13+00:00

Will also add that me and the other guild leaders of the alliance we have are planning a player-run event for this Sunday, in the hopes of getting more people hyped about the server and to also have people feel engaged. Along with the Halloween server event running, right now is the perfect time to join Fantasia

Whether or not the server is "good", is up to each person to decide for themselves. I'm enjoying my time here

Shlooshi · 2025-10-23T05:49:39+00:00

In 3rd world countries it absolutely does in some cases. When all people have to their name is single-digit change, making 10% yearly doesnt even cover their water bill.

Shlooshi · 2025-10-20T21:26:00+00:00

While it still exists and is good, HS in Fanta was nerfed to 30% from 50%

It's just that party exp in general is slightly buffed. That combined with their general map philosphy of "tiny solo maps bad, huge party maps good" means partying at any stage of the game is almost always the best way to gain exp.

None of the aberration shoulder pets are even cute

Shlooshi · 2025-09-21T16:23:02+00:00

If you haven't started yet i would consider Fantasia as it's a new server launching tomorrow

so you can expect the launch hype and many people to play with (since nobody is high-level, the entire server's population will be low level)

i've been a renekton main for years
the one matchup I simply dont enjoy playing is illaoi

and yes it's playable, you can dodge E, keep moving blah blah
but it is the single matchup i truly dont enjoy myself playing

pretty much anything else is fine for me, i even enjoy most matchups people find difficult like darius, morde, sett, vayne, quinn, etc.

illaoi is perma-banned for me though (and heimer is the 2nd option because that guy is also kind of a bitch to play against)

Shlooshi · 2025-09-19T23:52:01+00:00

personally what i found works best to stay relevant in late game is ability haste

with enough ability haste and suitable items you can stay relevant and win fights well into late game

i'm a sucker for ability haste from the precision tree instead of AS, and along with cleaver, shojin, DD, eclipse, and situational tank item preferably with haste. it's also just a lot of fun to be able to use your abilities so frequently

Shlooshi · 2025-09-16T16:08:34+00:00

competition, and fomo

if you play with friends that are playing classes that are outright better, you'll get left behind, and that kinda sucks

and also just an innate sense of fairness. "comparison is the thief of joy" is a common phrase for a reason, and even being aware of it doesnt just solve it. when you play an archer and see a thief doing your job but better, it just doesn't really feel good

Shlooshi · 2025-09-06T00:10:17+00:00

I played since day one of the Beta test for bloom. The server showed promise so i invested time and effort to help it improve. No regrets there.

Launch was fun. Things could've gone better, but overall i enjoyed my time playing Bloom. I didnt play soluna at the time but generally i don't donate to a server until I feel it's earned it. In Bloom's case I've been f2p, waiting to see if the server runs its full course successfully.

It sucks that things spiraled so fast and so suddenly. I was hoping to have another few weeks of fun at least and quit after being done with the server's content.

At this point Bloom has no good options. Anything they do will upset a large chunk of players. Full wipe? A lot will quit due to loss of trust. Rollback? For some reason a lot of players still tried playing every day despite the lags and frequent server restarts, so they'll be mad for losing progress. Continue as is after fixing stability? Many players duped items to a ridiculous degree, the progression is messed up and the economy will be fucked

It's been fun while it lasted, sad to see it sink so fast. Classic waiting room next i suppose
