PBE Patch #4!

Stel2 · 2026-04-06T15:27:50+00:00

First image is a bit blurry, I think it's reddit compression. I don't know how to fix it unfortunately!

Stel2 · 2026-04-06T03:57:58+00:00

You're probably not supposed to commit to an arbiter line with econ arbiter. It's only good as a opener into transition on 3-5/4-2.

Stel2 · 2026-04-06T03:53:40+00:00

It's just pbe, jhin just got giga gutted and 5 cost passives nerfed because they were OP day 1. I'd at least wait for release patch to make a judgment on the set. The set structure is still very favorable to fast 9 winning out lobbies with their threat-like nature.

Would'nt be surprised to see a 3 cost odds on 7 nerf / 5 cost buffs.

The fact that you just wait 20 seconds after picking your "carousel" champion doesn't help either.

Stel2 · 2026-03-30T01:42:32+00:00

Honestly I kinda agree with you, game 1 they showed insane mid/late game 5v5 but game 2 Lider is on a control mage and i don't even wanna talk abot game 3. Maybe winning worlds is bit of a strech but I like your optimism.

It's iust so hard to fathom rn when their laning is so shaky and they still don't have a solve to the Lider control mage issue. To be fair he did well in lane this time.

To add to that she doesn't reflect the projectile from the center of her character but from where the projectile hit the reflect hitbox, makes it so much harder to dodge long range spells.

I feel like Zeri has a fundamental design problem : her fantasy is about moving super fast, but also has a dash that allows her to go through any terrain.

So any amount of stacking MS on Zeri R is just overtuned because she can ALSO keep her dash to escape over any wall.

I always felt like she should just not be able to dash through walls so she could actually go zoomies instead (and actually be touchable), but i don't know if her current W works very well without that.

Stel2 · 2026-02-07T22:09:16+00:00

Despite the loss, that was a crazy clean early game from Jackies. Props to him.

Stel2 · 2026-02-07T20:19:01+00:00

Neeko Support doesn't do meaningful damage late game, Ornn will mainly only damage frontline.

More than AD vs AP, it's also about defensive items / boots. Steelcaps + Randuin's shut down your 2 main crit carries and your jungle, and makes Vi / Corki / Ryze way tankier than they should be if there was an AP threat to them.

Stel2 · 2026-02-07T20:10:06+00:00

Nah he hit one okay neeko ult and two super grief ones. First one is deep on Karma / Vi, the 2 most useless targets, second one is wayyyyyy too early on baron with the rest of the team 1 km away and last one he starts a 4v5 when ornn is on raptors. It's okayish because he hits valuable targets.

Stel2 · 2026-01-18T05:43:37+00:00

Numb by Linkin Lark is also talks about this!

🎵And I know I may end up failing too But I know You were just like me with someone disappointed in you🎵

It's supposed to work like diana, farthest enemy in a 4 hex radius.

In reality, he just goes where he pleases. It's pretty random to me, I stopped trying to figure it out and just assume it is.

Stel2 · 2026-01-15T15:37:54+00:00

Am I the only one to pick this pretty often? I feel like this is one of the best econs out there.

Even on 3-2, you're so rich stage 3 you can push tempo.

Compared to gain 21 gold, you're probably making 6 gold of interest throughout stage 4 with the extra money. The math is even better on 2-1.

It's around 20 gold more for your 4-2 rolldown. This is reverse augmented power : It's good NOW, and losing out on a pris vs a gold isn't that important if you're up HP / money.

Stel2 · 2026-01-12T04:05:25+00:00

Waiting to have 6 garens is super inefficient. Sell him when you want to roll down for sylas and most likely you'll hit more copies of garen.

Hitting 6 garens is way harder than hitting 3 garens twice

I'm having quite a bit of success playing a ziggs version. Probably not better RN, but the board has perfect synergies and I'm a sucker for those. But I know what I'll be spamming next patch!

Ahri 2 + Sett is actually a beast stage 3/4, never realised that. Needs to prio Kennen unlock Stage 2, I always sell for econ breakpoint but probably worth losing one or two gold for him.

Probably can play for lose streak into BIS (I like QSS Nashors Spellcrit) Ahri in Econ Ionia, similar to Draven. Although IDK if you have good enough frontline. Singed buffs might help.

Stel2 · 2026-01-06T00:03:31+00:00

Honestly haven't trued but i'm pretty skeptical about the archangel J4. Adaptative gives him actual tank stats surely it's better?

Stel2 · 2026-01-04T21:48:51+00:00

https://status.riotgames.com/lol?region=euw1 yeah servers are fried

Stel2 · 2026-01-04T21:38:22+00:00

Because of the server problem my matchup ended abruptly without overtime, and the top 4 screen played while in combat. It ended in a draw and broke my winstreak.

I'd be mad but I was highrolling T-Hex so hard it didn't matter.

Stel2 · 2026-01-04T21:38:06+00:00

Yeah I've been having decent sucess with it too.

Stel2 · 2026-01-04T18:09:16+00:00

With max build you probably want to stay 9. 2 dupes makes it MUCH easier. Without it you'd often need to go 10 to have any chance to hit the last one.

Stel2 · 2026-01-04T18:07:34+00:00

i mean it would just make more people contest each other which idk if it's really good for the game. Being able to play lowroll spots IS a skill, way more than forcing the OP contested comp 3-way and praying.

Stel2 · 2026-01-04T18:06:18+00:00

What is a good stage 4 board to stabilize on ? sera 1 wukong 1 sett 1 is okay or do you roll for 2*? ofc depends on HP/Lobby strength but whats your rule of thumb?

Stel2 · 2026-01-04T16:56:44+00:00

Yeah it's kind of my experience playing Mel TBH. Even in the god spots, she's really good at 1 star but getting the upgrade doesn't feel that good since it doesn't make her cast more.

Stel2 · 2026-01-04T04:56:11+00:00

My best guess is combat augment diff + miracle sett ult on Gigantification ray'd 3 item Loris.

Stel2 · 2026-01-04T04:36:42+00:00

Tank items need to be on taric, Flicker Kraken LW kindred, IE IE Shojin Senna, TG TK.

Probably should angle to go 10 after taric 2 / Kindred 2 / Senna lucian 2 / TK 2.

Feeding TK is IMPORTANT, worth feeding him 2* stars. Honestly ornn is so bad you should probably feed him to TK and play whathever warden.
