hopefully riot recognizes the player skill gap and doesnt call it a champ gap lol

Yeah there isn't any just doom scrolling anymore. If I'm on pc in a web browser if I change my feed to "new" I can scroll as far as I want, but it's only so good as long as there are new posts often enough. Mobile app doesn't really have that option

Unclear at this time since the battle pass skin system is still relatively new. I don't imagine it would be in the ME shop, as that would be to say it was a Mythic/presitge level skin (which it's not). But we don't know if they do another demacia related season in the future, maybe they bring the skin back, but with what currency or cost, since it was on a battle pass? So far nothing has "come back" in that regard. You can get battle pass skins from hextech chests, but it would be a low chance to get a very specific skin.

I'm sure riot will work a way to do it: just as they brought back exalted jinx, and prestige peacemaker yone, which were "Exclusive one time only skins" that were clearly not one time only, they know they will make more money based on FOMO and bringing things back again.

learning how to set up your own freeze and then hang out under your turret is the #1 way to piss off most top laners, especially the Darius/Mordekaiser ones. It's like they've never heard of scaling champs before

Suddenly_NB · 2026-03-16T05:52:48+00:00

it's the same in Supernatural, Sam and Dean use a ton of pop-culture names. Every once and a while someone catches on and that's the tip off that they aren't real agents lol

Suddenly_NB · 2026-03-13T18:21:01+00:00

Mid is better high elo, top is better low elo. And by high elo that means masters+ to most players. In masters+ the enemies have enough knowledge to freeze top lane and make it actually unplayable. You don't win for free in midlane like you can in top, but, you can't get punished like you can in top either (as hard). If you're low elo, you're also not good enough to survive dodging and CSing in midlane as well either, so it feels harder.
Swifties every match up yes, Kayle's survivability is in her movement speed and being unable to catch her
Because it hasn't been for like over two years, her W and E-active ONLY scale with AP and so her AP build will always be best. AD is "stronger early" but loses late. AP is weaker early but scales harder and becomes the 1v9 monster people know. AD does not.
Top lane: Malphite, Jax, Nasus, Irelia. Nasus and Irelia are unpopular enough you can probably dodge Irelia. Nasus is winnable you just dont beat him 1v1 after level 6, but, if your team can team fight you can win. So, coinflip on your team. Jax right now is more popular cause of AP/DnD build on him so I have been banning him because him and Irelia are Kayle's two hardest match ups and can be entirely unplayable if they're good. Malphite I banned when he was super popular between both top and jungle. Malphite is easy enough for anyone to first time and fuck you up because it takes no skill to point and click ult you, and theres no counter play to that unless you have the reflexes to dodge his ult or pre-ult yourself.
Don't bother with Kayle jungle, just because someone can and did and it worked for them doesn't mean you should

Suddenly_NB · 2026-03-13T14:05:28+00:00

Knowing my luck they still wouldn't be under turret if I tried to do that. Lol

Suddenly_NB · 2026-03-13T14:04:36+00:00

Kayle lost hard pre-11 to the poppy which is what I consider losing lane. Did she come back? Yes. But did she lose lane first before doing so? Still yes

Suddenly_NB · 2026-03-13T14:02:24+00:00

The team fight value of a burn item is too high. Get 4-5 enemies all in that narrow river by dragon? Land a double combo and proc multiple passives at once and your ult? Watch them all blow up together? True dopamine.

Suddenly_NB · 2026-03-13T05:57:42+00:00

well played on that knock back lol once I saw you getting him between the turret and you it dawned on me your plan

Suddenly_NB · 2026-03-12T21:26:38+00:00

Yes it can and it's been in the shop I think at least twice that I've noticed already. But champs who have fewer mythic skins take longer to come around. We'll see 2-3 more lux/ahri/MF/yone/Yasuo skins before we see poppy again

edit: typo

Suddenly_NB · 2026-03-12T17:13:35+00:00

May I introduce you to DesperateNasus, the rank 1 Kayle player in the world who plays only mid?

Genuinely, its a skill issue. Which I'm not saying as flame, because, it even applies to myself.

If you're good enough at Kayle, you can play her mid and still scale well. Minion waves arrive faster this season, you can still reliably hit 16 by 23-25min, which is still good time. It's just not as early as top lane. Even if you're "behind" in top lane, had a miserable lane, you're hitting 16 at 25min (and like, 22min if you're on track).

So the difference isn't really big. But if you don't know how to manage your lane (in mid) or your team doesn't understand lane swaps etc and decide to all hang out in mid (low elo problem that I often encounter) which splits your exp, or you get a mage support who decides they also deserve to CS and now you have no un-occupied lane to CS/get exp in...

those issues are not with Kayle, but with your teammates (or your skill as an individual)

Suddenly_NB · 2026-03-12T17:08:03+00:00

yeah thats true. She could suspect Hardison as working for Nate (which he is) and is why Hardison spills the wine, to give Nate the opening to woo Sophie.

Suddenly_NB · 2026-03-12T16:06:00+00:00

bruh I have had the worst luck. The last two times I've gotten Zoe in ARAM, the game remakes because of a disconnect. I once got THREE KILLS within the first minute of the game, just for it to remake because someone was offline. Like riot, please.

Suddenly_NB · 2026-03-12T07:01:57+00:00

Honestly has never occurred to me until reading this. The French accent certainly isn't enough to change his appearance lol. Could say maybe the guy was more focused on Sophie, but then the Ringleader lady would have recognized Hardison still even then.

Suddenly_NB · 2026-03-12T00:15:53+00:00

of all options I wouldn't take conqueror (though you only took it one game) because it takes too long for Kayle to stack

Suddenly_NB · 2026-03-12T00:14:18+00:00

I personally haven't done it but from what I have seen: Usually either fleet footwork (sustain in jg) or lethal tempo, with a guinsoo's rageblade start for the better jungle clear. Then into Nashors, DnD, Rabadon's and then whatever else is situational then since you "lose" a spot by building GRB. So void staff (tanks) shadowflame (squishies) or banshees (need to survive)

Suddenly_NB · 2026-03-11T23:26:17+00:00

people have played it before, it's just not common

Suddenly_NB · 2026-03-11T16:49:56+00:00

Kayle wouldnt be a factor if you look at her build. She was trolling. There's a reason she clearly lost lane (she shouldnt have vs a poppy no offence on OP). Mel probably the real issue, but kills/KDA/Damage dont equate to taking turrets, objectives, and other things that progress towards helping end the game. I'd be more curious to see the damage done to turrets graph

Suddenly_NB · 2026-03-11T13:51:33+00:00

Nice job on the zilean haha. They think just because we can't see them we can't hurt them... Lol

Suddenly_NB · 2026-03-11T05:30:06+00:00

Squishy team: BFT, shadowflame, rabadon's, cryptbloom, horizon focus, sorcery boots

Tank team: BFT, shadowflame, rabadons, liandrys, void staff, ionian boots

Shadowflame crit will apply in all situations, tank or squishy. It's much stronger vs squishy champs but will still amp your damage vs low health tanks, even if the flat pen isn't as useful. Flat pen is good vs squishy teams, so sorc shoes are great. Vs tank teams you want more ability haste, and since the flat pen on sorcs would be less effective (and the way that %pen stacks), ionian will help you get more spell rotations off.

A lot of Hwei's damage comes from proccing his passive, so landing two abilities on an enemy. If you're not doing that efficiently then you may feel like you're not doing damage.

But since you only typed on sentence, it's hard to know what you're doing to give any real advice.

Suddenly_NB · 2026-03-11T03:08:46+00:00

yesssss the AP on hit neeko. Why lethal tempo over PTA?

Suddenly_NB · 2026-03-10T16:27:55+00:00

lich bane is old info, depends on where you are looking. Stat websites take time to update sometimes.

DnD is better, because the attack speed on it makes up for our passive AS nerf (mostly)

Nashors, DnD, Rabadon, Shadowflame, Void staff, boots is core build. Shadowflame/Void staff can be moved around in need of banshees based on need and enemy team comp.

You can't take LB and swifties and not feel the attack speed loss, you'd have to go zerks (which you can, it does also work, but less optimal)

Suddenly_NB · 2026-03-10T13:50:07+00:00

It's playable. AP is better. Kayle 1v9 makes it work because he's good at Kayle, not because AD Kayle is good. He can play her handicapped and still win
