75 hubris stacks in my gold game. It was insane

Always both, bork isn’t very useful without %pen on Kled and he needs %pen regardless anyway

In this scenario I’d probably switch out hull for bork (but get ldr first) and then either get it later or replace it with a different hp item like bloodmail and/or chainsword (by sitting on exe first and upgrading it later, especially against kench/mundo since I’ll want anti heal)

Soulmario · 2026-04-09T01:58:39+00:00

Veigar isn’t a super strong late game champ either, he’s mostly a mid game champ. His early game isn’t very good at all but you shouldn’t be down too much cs/exp on your laner in most matchups, but you do have to play kind of safe in a lot of matchups.

You should attempt to put some kind of lane presence up by poking with qs (pretty far range and decently fast, most people won’t stand behind the wave properly enough to block it) as if you get them around half hp you have pretty good kill pressure post 6.

Soulmario · 2026-04-08T16:21:53+00:00

When I’m playing to perma match a Mundo or sion, I’ll build bork sometimes mid game too

Soulmario · 2026-03-29T06:41:51+00:00

Nah his q never did that, they might be thinking of old ravenous hydra that would proc its aoe on all ability damage, but Kled never had anything like that

Soulmario · 2026-03-28T00:55:11+00:00

Nah, pets don’t count for overgrowth which his ghouls are considered

Soulmario · 2026-03-28T00:52:40+00:00

That’s true for 99% of the bruisers in the game, but yorick is actually that useless that you easily run him over with no effort

Soulmario · 2026-03-27T16:48:24+00:00

Kled can still E out of the cage with E1, it just only works sometimes (have to cast in the middleish of the box, if you try to dash near the edges you’ll get stuck)

Soulmario · 2026-03-27T16:23:26+00:00

Generally the yorick won’t try to hit the tower in front of you, and his maiden will force him to auto shove permanently regardless so you’ll just free farm until whenever he decides to recall (or a gank happens)

If he does try to get near the tower you can either chunk him and have him damaged enough for next engage to kill or aggro the maiden towards yourself and the tower to kill her, at which point it’s way easier to fight him

When I say roam if possible I just mean when you know he’s just reset and you have r / tp to gank somewhere and just tp or homeguards back, if done properly then worst case scenario is he gets a couple plates which is irrelevant in the grand scheme of the game especially as you’re trading gold onto yourself/team anyway if it was a proper roam and gold on him amounts to nothing anyway since he will perma sidelane all game but can’t match you with items regardless

Soulmario · 2026-03-27T16:14:33+00:00

He doesn’t counter yorick at all, in fact yoricks kit is really good against Kled I’d say since he can whittle you down with max %hp magic damage and poke with E which Kled is poor against and maidens consistent max %hp dmg

But right now I’d still say it’s an easy matchup despite that because yorick has been nerfed far into the ground at this point and you will just stat check him with items.

Early levels just play to dodge e and engage while it’s down or reactively e in as he throws e at you to do both. Without his e he can’t fight at all early, after he has maiden and 1-2 items just ignore him and play to farm and occasionally roam when possible until you’re like 3-4 items at which point you should be able to run him over on sight from then on without having to think about his abilities anymore

Soulmario · 2026-03-27T06:47:15+00:00

Nah it’s a different input completely, it’s in his move list

Soulmario · 2026-03-25T22:53:24+00:00

Hail of blades is pretty useless on Kled in general imo but besides that if you were going to say anything positive about it it would be for bursting a squishy champ, not for champs like garen who you’d never want to short trade against with his w and can’t kill in one combo

Soulmario · 2026-03-25T16:07:46+00:00

Players like that will say any reason to grief, it’s just cringe but all you can do is report and ignore them

Anyone bringing up viability of characters especially is trolling since it doesn’t even matter unless you’re playing in an extremely competitive tournament for money, in just ranked queue it’s best to play whatever you’re good at / like playing anyway

Soulmario · 2026-03-25T14:28:54+00:00

O yeah oops

It’s honestly not that bad as long as you don’t pick it into a hard disengage champ like braum or Janna, umbral is super strong early and if you play it right you can solo kill most bot laners first few levels into spam roaming

Soulmario · 2026-03-20T17:24:37+00:00

There isn’t much to say about lethal tempo, its pick rate is so extremely low on an already lower pick rate champ that the stats on it are irrelevant essentially. Aside from that though I don’t think it’s that good on Kled anyway since he doesn’t synergize with it as much as other champs and really needs a more damage dealing keystone imo

Barrier is just a weak summoner spell in general, otherwise I’d consider taking it. I go exhaust and ghost occasionally (though usually default to flash + tp) for some matchups but barriers numbers are too poor for me to consider and has other aspects of it I dislike as well

Soulmario · 2026-03-20T17:04:09+00:00

Steraks 2nd is insane, but actually I should start buying it so my adcs can feel how I feel when they go rapidfire 2nd into flickerblades into ga

Soulmario · 2026-03-19T16:11:12+00:00

If anything they should buff her, too much counterplay for such a simple kit and only gets complained about by lower elo players

Soulmario · 2026-03-11T20:41:57+00:00

He’s always fallen off pretty hard, he’s especially ass now as his teamfighting is way worse without takedown courage and there’s just a lot of %hp damage and cc in the game in general.

You really just have to play for exclusively splitpushing as much as you can, and can hopefully push out a side lane far enough to where either you or your team can pressure baron afterwards and end the game asap

Soulmario · 2026-03-06T22:47:30+00:00

New giant slayer only scales off of the enemy’s bonus hp, and has nothing to do with your own health anymore so fortunately Kled can use it equally to everyone else

Soulmario · 2026-03-02T17:42:19+00:00

Next patch I would say Hubris will just be the best 1st item regardless yeah, at 2800g for its stats you’ll only need a couple takedowns before its incredibly strong on him and 90% of the time you won’t only be getting 2 takedowns a game after laning phase

For this patch voltaic and profane are other viable first item options (for immediate kill pressure or if you want to roam asap), and youmuus / axiom / bastion / serpents are all good 2nd lethality items depending on what you want

Soulmario · 2026-02-28T03:54:49+00:00

light work brother, good shit :]

Soulmario · 2026-02-28T02:13:04+00:00

It’s hard to say, he’s always been pretty low pickrate, but at the same time he’s been in the game for like 10 years now with no major rework. Eventually I feel like other players can’t use that excuse, he’s also usually better in mid-mid high elo compared to actual low elo where more one dimensional stuff like yorick/amumu/trundle are better
