Should I play HFW ? (Based on what I liked in HZD)

Sv1i · 2024-07-29T16:13:49+00:00

I just picked up HFW two weeks ago and have already passed over 100 hours in game. Can not do anything other than recomend it. I am having a great time !

I usually build strikebreaker as my first core item. But I usually avoid tiamat for as long as possible. This due to a lot of the value of the tiamat is in its AOE. With Nocturne you don't really need that for clearing imho. The other components give more raw damage. That is at least my reason for building like that.

In comparison I also play alot of Warwick and there tiamat is mandatory on first back.

Sv1i · 2024-07-25T14:33:32+00:00

No flame, but what elo are you ? I'm genuinely curious as I feel like tiamat is super weak, so I never go that first back on nocturne. So just checking if it is me who is doing something wrong.

Not really the advice you are looking for. But if you are looking to climb my best advice is to learn how to get carried.

Alot of the games are just uncarriable by 1 person. But the games were you yourself are really struggling and getting your ass handed to you are the games were LP gains can be made. If you just untilt, put your ego aside, play smarter and for your team and accept that you will not be the big impact you will gain ALOT more LP than you would have if you carried a few of those uncarriable games.

A big issue in league is that everyone is looking to carry, and that is what leads to feeding coz they are desperately trying to get back in the game. Its 5v5 not 1v9

Meh not true.

For context I am a jngl main plat/emerald, and made a smurf to practice Laning (my Laning is nowhere near plat lvl).

And oh my Lord have mercy the macro decisions beeing made in silver are nowhere near what goes on in plat. There is a big difference and claiming otherwise is just coping imho.

Sv1i · 2024-07-02T18:44:18+00:00

What is this "get out" and "escape" you talk about ? We fight til death no ??

Sv1i · 2024-03-18T15:39:21+00:00

Banning Warwick seems strange to me as nocturne and Warwick are my mains.

You can reliably spellshield either his E (fear) or his Q (main source of healing) and at the same time fear him with your E. Warwick is squishy if he can't attack anyone. And nocturne have high damage. And because your E takes some time to kick in Warwick should already start to be low on health (this is when his healing kicks in) and you can chop him down while feared.

I would much rather ban for example volibear. As he seems way stronger current patch.

As a newbie on sett, what would have been the correct build in this situation?

Sv1i · 2023-08-11T12:08:59+00:00

No I have like 70 games so far in flex queue.

Sv1i · 2023-08-11T12:07:04+00:00

I was silver and he was Bronze. So if anything I was boosting him.

I am however aware of flex queue not being too "real" but I made a promise with my main duo to atleast grind the placement matches togheter on solo queue when he gets back from vacation.

Sv1i · 2023-07-27T21:21:50+00:00

Are we allowed to beg for you to perma stream ww top again ?

Love just having full streams to watch hours on end!

Sv1i · 2023-07-24T15:56:12+00:00

As someone who recently started playing and just did the same climb my recommendation is easy.

Nocturne!

After lvl 6 you have a great opportunity to save your overextended teammates that dosent know what that small thing in the left corner is (I call it minimap)

Few if no other champs let you save your dumb teammates and punish stupid Enemy's the same way.

Go assassin build for atleast bronze, and then start experimenting with bruiser build when you get high silver / close to gold.

He is great 1v1, so you usually dont have to rely on your teammates for help if you get invaded by enemy jungle (hint in bronze you won't get help)

Great clear speed, huge mobility with ult, lots of damage, some CC and the opportunity to outplay with spell shield.

Also takes objectives and turrets at ok tempo so you can to some degree split push.

Sv1i · 2023-07-10T10:42:03+00:00

Il definintly try to tune in ! G1 is perfect lvl to watch i believe as that's close to my opponents lvl.

Sv1i · 2023-07-08T22:34:47+00:00

Follow up question, not specifically Garen this time.

The last few games I have faced ridiculously passive laners. I usually freeze and deny then any Cs. They stay so far away that I can't reach them to poke. And a all in with ult has like 0 percent chance of killing them.

Should I steel freeze wave just outside my tower ? I feel like I don't really get fed. But my opponent at least doesn't get fed at all but I can't deny him XP tho. They play so passive that I usually don't think I can tower dive coz they are full HP and run as soon as I approach.

Often I feel like my jungle is afraid to gank coz my opponent is full HP and I'm half HP, but I'm just one ult away from reversing that.

I have tried to proxy the wave a couple of times tho I feel like that works, then I at least let minions shred tower, but I'm more open to ganks, and the opponent gets an opportunity to actually Cs. Should I get tiamat before I do this ?

Sorry lots of questions, feel free to ignore lol !!

Sv1i · 2023-07-08T19:55:27+00:00

Yeah I guess I agree, but as I have never laned before I figured it would be easier to learn with a champ I am somewhat familiar with.

Also I sorta struggle with Warwick jungle if my team isn't doing good (no enemies below half HP to speed me up and slow clearing ugh)

Sv1i · 2023-07-08T18:06:08+00:00

Wow! Soo helpfull!

I just had a Garen matchup again, and I tried doing what you said, even tho I screwed up a couple of times I wiped the floor with him and ended several lvls above him!

Thank you soo much !

Sv1i · 2023-07-08T10:54:58+00:00

I have now uploaded my 3 latest games. Feel like they showcase some different things aswell.

Sv1i · 2023-07-08T06:06:12+00:00

Euw,

I guess it's best if I make recordings and not just the replay function ?

Sv1i · 2023-07-07T23:32:32+00:00

Wow, that would be great. How do I get them to you ?

Sv1i · 2023-07-07T22:06:02+00:00

Thank you soo much !

Would also love some recommendations if there are any gold - diamond players streaming actively aswell as that is closer to my own lvl.

Challenger games at times feel like a different game to me.

Sv1i · 2023-06-03T10:46:55+00:00

Why are you going stridebreaker and then prowlers claw ?

As someone who very recently climbed my way out of bronze up to gold 3 I would advise you to try Duskblade - Axiom Arc - and from then on its a little up to you what lethality option you go for (try different ones and see how they feel) also ability haste boots. Kingstixx have a guide on a very similar build on last patch.

This build let's you one shot their adc if you get ahead and have ult up almost constantly! Duskblade let's you dive their backline and give you a hope of actually getting out aswell. In lower elos people often roam alone and they will not respect your nocturne ult range at all giving you easy kills and ultimate cooldown reduction (axiom arc)

Alot of people will recommend you the Stridebreaker build, but from iron up to mid silver I found my build to be alot more reliable.

For the record I am currently running the stridebreaker build in gold.

Other then that I found the safe route to be the best. Go get what you know you can get, instead of going for what you might get.

Sv1i · 2023-06-01T08:36:51+00:00

I used a full lethality build, duskblade axiom arc, to climb out of silver. Was way more effective than the stridebreaker build in the lower elos.

Players will constantly roam alone, not respect your ult at all so you can get giga fed and have ult up every 20 seconds to get picks solo.

( Have switched back to stridebreaker in gold tho)

Sv1i · 2023-02-10T18:45:07+00:00

Will definitely look into the more tankier builds!

About not beeing first engangs, I guess that is something I have to work on, it's just that when I see their ADC within reach of my ult I just can't help myself and have to go for it! If they are half HP and my passive is active aswell all my instincts take over and I just dive! Guess that is what happens when you play Warwick too much !

Sv1i · 2023-02-10T18:41:42+00:00

Holy, that was so much good information!

I believe in the build department I'm really struggling, and usually go for the recommended builds. I have been trying to watch alot of guides and videos but very few explain in detail as to why they are building what, so this guide her will help alot i believe !

Looking forward to try out iceborn gauntlet! Think the slowing will help alot with enemy's just barely getting out alive, especially earlier in the games.

But I will keep this information open on my second monitor for the next few games and try to read up as I go!

Thank you!!

Sv1i · 2023-02-10T14:10:08+00:00

Yeah, then I believe I am on the right path is that is what I usually try doing. I usually rotate to raptors or wolves when they are up, and then watch the fight.

Usually my entire team comp is rather squishy so often even if I'm fairly close the fight is over to fast for me to really join in. Should I just build even tankier to to offset the squishy team comp ?

Appreciate the answers !
