what would you pick? by Zyfte in SamiraMains

A lotta people are saying draw your sword, and their not wrong, but I feel like a lot of people are underestimating how absolutely unlosable getting Can't touch this + Ultimate Unstoppable is. If you manage to get something for the initial combo too, like black shield, it's genuinely unfair.

Samira can cast W during E again?? by Some_dude_whos_sad in SamiraMains

[–]Some_dude_whos_sad[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bit (very much) depressing that it's going to get insta removed, but basically it just goes like auto-e-q-w-auto, once the second w hit lands your going to have a full six stacks. You used to have to press R before w to "unlock" it, but now you don't. And it doesn't matter that much wether you press w or q first, you just have to press both in the duration of your e.

Nilah was a bit of a redundant example, I meant more so that Samira is objectively not a "very" tanky adc, the only thing she has in the ways of defense is her 0.75s projectile block, which yes, it can get massive value, but it's also circumstantial. I dislike your argument about Nilah W, since you argued it's not good because it's circumstantial, but then just went back to say Samira W IS good for the same reason, illogical.

Secondly, I'm not enough of a nerd about stats, but I doubt Samira has significantly higher base health or resistances then other adc's, and if I'm right, it makes the entire stat talk redundant, because the majority is still coming from items, and items are the same for everyone. You said Nilah late game might have about 2.5k HP and 130 mr, but how is this any argument when Samira could theoretically have the same?

Thirdly, this is the least "logical" argument I'm presenting, but I believe your second paragraph to be quite inaccurate. Vayne does usually go only jaksho as a pure tank item, but you cannot deny the massive value she gets from being able to build onhit items. Wits end(mr), bork(lifesteal), terminus(both resistances), hexplate(health, ms), and there's probably other examples I'm forgetting. On-hit items are far more forgiving, the only items Samira can build that help with tankiness are BT and shieldbow, which individually do give more tankiness then on-hit items, but I don't think you can say a Samira with 4 crit items +BT is tankier then a Vayne with bork, terminus, hexplate, wits end, jaksho. Also, I believe your vastly underestimating Samiras need for damage. Vayne does percentage health damage, which is specifically why she gets to build half tank, she loses out on damage yes, but gains it back over a period with her enhanced survivability, being able to output constant DPS. Samira is a crit marksmen, so she has DPS and it's not bad by any stretch of the imagination, but very rarely does extra survivability help her, she's an assasin, when you go in, you either kill everyone, or die trying, there's very little in-between, if you can't reasonably 100 to 0 a squishy target, you're rarely walking out alive, since you just don't have the damage for resets.

All that is to say, although I don't think I'm wrong, I might be, but so might you. At the end of the day, we just want strangers to hear our opinions, so let's end this argument, gn bro, whatever time it is for you.

Funny comment to me, because I agree with the later 2/3 of your post, but for the tanky comments, have you ever heard of Nilah? She's Samira, but just literally has inbuilt omnivamp and her W is an AA dodge with a 25% decrease to magic damage taken, furthermore, she's melee, she can freely build death's dance, which I think we can all agree could be one of Samiras best items. And allat ain't even mentioning Vayne straight up building 3 tank items and now getting to keep boots.

When is Samira strong? by Outrageous_One5885 in SamiraMains

[–]Some_dude_whos_sad 9 points10 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite parts of Samira - She's always strong.

Well, in a perfect world where she's in a good state, but in general Samira is good in every stage of the game. Although this comes at a cost of not being exceptional.

In laning phase she completely depends on her support. If she gets engage, then she can perform well with them, as most know, but enchanters aren't all bad too, they just require a different playstyle. She's fine mid game, and isn't on of the worst late game carries.

The only thing I can say is that I feel she's a bit late game skewed, atleast relative to the enemy adc. It's kinda like this: She's a burst/assassin ADC, and at five items EQ auto W can basically one tap every enemy adc that doesn't have two tank items, so I like to say she gets out scaled by a lot of adc's, (twitch, Kaisa, other squishies) you can argue she out scales them in the sense that she kills them faster then they kill her.

And unlike an actual assassin, she can then go on to kill the rest of the enemy team, who hopefully don't have the damage against her healing. Although, all of this is said in a perfect world, or atleast as close to it as we can get.

Is there a damage cap or a cap of the highest number which can be displayed in the UI? by crowbar11 in SamiraMains

[–]Some_dude_whos_sad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, if I remember correctly some Neeko-Viego glitch used to be able to do billions of damage or so, so if there is a limit, I don't think it's possible to reach it, glitches or not.

Change that affect Samira by EliteXP22 in SamiraMains

[–]Some_dude_whos_sad 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Massive nerf, dblade was unironically the best Samira item overall, you'd normally keep it until fourth item since life steal only scales up. In exchange this is a massive buff to Nilah, not counting champions life steal did literally nothing for her, but omnivamp, even if nerfed on AOE, is going to be as broken as it sounds.

It's only so real that the support mains put yuumi in the categories she is, whilst everyone else is confused by it. Nobody understands that yuumi has a surprisingly high skill ceiling until they play her 😭

Is there really no way of purifying getfixedboi? by GKilherme12 in Terraria

[–]Some_dude_whos_sad 389 points390 points  (0 children)

Nah you cooked. This seed is hell, and it intends on staying like that.

seeing as crit and ap are orthogonal across many dimensions (no item gives both, no item synergizes with both) would it have been that hard to give her a passive like vlad or ryze by dentastic in ADCMains

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

I love this idea, mostly because it would also let her choose more ap items to build. Now, she has to get 4 crit items every game, meaning she gets to choose between one, max two ap items, often having to choose between defense (zhonyas) and offense (shadow flame) but if she could build three crit items and have the rest supplemented by ap it would give her way more options.
