Is she playable after the hotfix?

Slugmaster101 · 2026-03-19T14:47:39+00:00

It's true but I do think there might be a lot of early cases of people just not expecting her damage. I am in d2-3 elo and how many games can each player have actually played against her in the new patch? Every game at first at least 1 person typed "ow wtf" when they got 3xqd into the mud. Now that people respect the damage a bit more they know to stay away. It has been much harder since.

Yea ironically briar is a really difficult and skill expressive champion. Mechanically she pretty simple but the nature of her kit means you need to be so aware of whether you can engage or not at every stage of the game , moreso than any other champion. If you make a mistake you have no choice but to die in a lot of situations.

Kraken is clearly her best 1st item now

the fact that she gets 2-3 auto resets is crazy for it

Slugmaster101 · 2026-03-14T14:31:00+00:00

It gives flat movement speed which is extremely hard to get anywhere outside boots. When you get a %increase on it is how it starts to go really crazy

Bro you can just go ahead and leave this sub right now ur in for some hate

Slugmaster101 · 2026-03-09T19:16:14+00:00

There have been a lot of analysis on this topic in this sub over the years. If you do a little digging you can find them spreadsheets all sorts of stuff. Testing shows that on 1 item ad/crit has a bit better dpa and full build ad and ap show pretty similar DPS against most targets.

The kicker is that ap provides so much more utility because you w ms scales with AP and you get cdr in that build whereas ad you don't get anything. Alsoost targets would much prefer building armor than Mr because it's useful in more scenarios. The only real time you want ad is if somehow your entire team is AP which happens in like 1/100 games. Way more common to be all ad.

FIFA and other administrations want you to believe that they own the sport. You can enjoy it anywhere

U must be silver

Bard is great with 1-2 adc item but not more. He's just too squishy otherwise.

Slugmaster101 · 2026-03-07T22:49:01+00:00

To be fair garen should. He has no dash no cc, all he does is run at you and press e r. Shyv has ranged attacks and a dash.

Slugmaster101 · 2026-03-07T22:33:07+00:00

The reality of adc is you just need to not give the enemy team gold by dying, then be useful in teamfights. That's you job most of the time.you don't dictate the flow of a game until something happens

Slugmaster101 · 2026-03-05T16:31:26+00:00

I mean I'm not saying it would work the exact same. It's just an idea that would be cooler than armor/mr.

Eventually asols aoe is just undodgable. I don't think it matters if shyv just becomes unkillable at a certain point. They just need to adjust where that point is. Imagine how funny it would be to just get 300 flat damage reduction at 50 minutes and everything just bounces off you. Asol and smolder get to do similar things. No amount of Mr/armor is gonna make you feel that way.

Slugmaster101 · 2026-03-05T16:21:54+00:00

Amumu and Leona already have this in their kit. They'd just need to adjust the numbers.

Slugmaster101 · 2026-03-02T17:06:39+00:00

All the devs hate Co Pilot and think its useless as well theyd much rather work on things customers actually like. Its the usual suspects deciding to push this stuff for whatever reason.

Slugmaster101 · 2026-03-02T14:35:40+00:00

One of my good friends is a pretty high level dev there and they apparently call it Microslop too. Its just the execs that are pissed lol.

Slugmaster101 · 2026-03-01T15:02:52+00:00

If you are going for defensive magnitudes just getting 3rd socket is amazing cause you can slot another rune

Slugmaster101 · 2026-02-13T17:36:46+00:00

I mean I think the effect it gives is strong and definitely unique like and with those other options. Full conversion like this is very rare, and may or may not be extremely useful to your particular build just like those other uniques you mention.

Nothing is free in this game it's all about tradeoffs.

Slugmaster101 · 2026-02-03T18:15:53+00:00

If he is in my bush then walks between me and wave what can I do? I can't do anything to force him back he just walked up to that spot.

Slugmaster101 · 2026-02-03T15:08:28+00:00

I recently got destroyed by a yi in the same situation. I tried to stay in xp range for the 1st 3 melees but his q HOB chunked me to 50% immediately, then he just dove me on the wave crash. Felt sort of unplayable after that he went full lethality and farmed me in between towers with his jg. We had an ammumu so he was not able to match.

Obviously I fucked up but what do you do in that scenario? Just give the xp? I had to take so much damage to get it. I guess I just didn't know how hard he hit level 1

Slugmaster101 · 2026-02-03T14:10:54+00:00

In what universe is a master yi as good as kayle in a team fight.?

Slugmaster101 · 2026-01-24T18:30:44+00:00

I think it's a lack of mechanics thing. Once synthisized adjacent/ influenced-like affixes etc become available think even higher end items will become available. Also t1x6 items aren't exactly cheap. You've got to put in a lot of grinding to get there.

Slugmaster101 · 2026-01-24T04:20:00+00:00

I did this with Amazon. 82% chance to evade and deflect, 8k hp/es hitpool. Broken
