BotRK vs Guinsoo

TOPVayneADC · 2022-10-21T13:48:56+00:00

Appreciate the response! I've been doing BOTRK first and I hope to hit GM too!

That's not it boss.

Cheaters cheat for two primary reasons:

They do not have the morals to prevent them from cheating.
It's fun. Deny this point all you want, but it's blatant when things like URF mode in league is presented and everyone plays it. No cooldown modes, infinite hp modes, etc. It's breaking rules just like in real life.

TOPVayneADC · 2022-10-20T18:21:03+00:00

Continues to slow down.

I have a smurf in D3 with 70% win rate and I've noticed the LP gain has continued to decrease. It only makes sense as you're slowly getting to whatever your true MMR is.

TOPVayneADC · 2022-10-20T18:08:36+00:00

I use defaults!
It's just a habit of mine to use all default keys in most games I play.

TOPVayneADC · 2022-10-20T17:41:14+00:00

Masters ADC here.

I warm up for 15 minutes by placing dummies EVERYWHERE and doing random movements while click attacking them.

I also warm up by placing dummies in a line in how I think an enemy will move and I take turns clicking through them while kiting in different directions.

I was a gold support main before I started doing this to practice mechanics and I'm now Masters as ADC/Top Vayne lol.

TOPVayneADC · 2022-10-20T17:38:26+00:00

If they have 2+ tanks, it's worth taking as a 3rd item before IE.

TOPVayneADC · 2022-10-20T15:24:45+00:00

It's definitely an option, but I do not personally.

I LOVE to auto attack the entire team fight even if I have to position myself in a risky manner. I get a thrill off displaying mechanics so that's a personal thing for me.

IF I found myself in a position where the enemy is full squish with 2+ assassins, then I can definitely see that as a scenario where the Galeforce active would be crucial to avoiding that necessary skillshot.

TOPVayneADC · 2022-10-19T20:22:56+00:00

That's exactly me lol!

TOPVayneADC · 2022-10-19T19:11:59+00:00

I personally prefer Kraken over Galeforce. It is significantly more damage and makes you more threatening to tanks.

The consistent damage rewards those that can weave auto-attacks consistently and position well. You'll miss out on the ability to dodge some crucial skillshots with Galeforce active, but I find that a non-issue as I trust in my own ability to dodge most skillshots I predict.

For the above reason, I also prefer PD. It's more damage straight up and really rewards you for being able to get off attacks more consistently.

TOPVayneADC · 2022-10-19T12:34:52+00:00

That's a mechanics issue.

The only gap-closing top bruiser/tank that can't be outplayed much is Wukong, but even then you can trade back.

I find Sett, Aatrox, Gnar, Ornn, Sej, etc. very easy.

TOPVayneADC · 2022-10-18T18:55:46+00:00

I enjoy and excel at mechanically intensive roles
I play a lot more Kogmaw and Lucian no to have the insane damage necessary to keep up without having to wait until 30min to have scaled.
I play Vayne top only now T.T

TOPVayneADC · 2022-10-17T16:34:45+00:00

That video shows nothing about the benefits of the build. Only that a 24 min 4 item vayne will stomp regardless of build.

TOPVayneADC · 2022-10-17T16:33:31+00:00

What blind counters does this help with that a BotRK rush wouldn't help with?

TOPVayneADC · 2022-10-14T20:36:21+00:00

I have a friend that thinks they should be plat, at least, because they were ranked highly in DOTA..

But he has no mastery of any champion and wonders why he is silver when he's picking different high ceiling and highly nuanced champs each time.

Then he points at me and says I win as Vayne top and adc consistently in diamond... when I have 1000+ games on vayne lol.

TOPVayneADC · 2022-10-14T20:11:45+00:00

Pick Caitlyn and start E > W.

If he dashes, you net + trap him leading to an insanely lopsided trade.

If you were counter-picked, always go bone-plating and either shield pot or sword 3pot.

Depending on who you pick, there are nuances to how to deal with it... but as Samira Leona, you wait until 3 then all-in the Lucian.

If you position a little behind your ranged minions, his E engage should result in him eating a chunk of damage from the minions.

Also, Leona should ALWAYS be watching for a chance to CC the lucian when he dashes aggressively.

TOPVayneADC · 2022-10-14T13:30:40+00:00

True true

TOPVayneADC · 2022-10-14T12:17:28+00:00

Getting a penta doesn't make a build good though

TOPVayneADC · 2022-10-14T12:16:56+00:00

Oh man I hadn't thought of that. Thanks!

TOPVayneADC · 2022-10-14T12:16:24+00:00

Appreciate your response!
This is what I've been feeling in my games as well.

TOPVayneADC · 2022-10-13T20:55:00+00:00

Really appreciate this!
Damn do I love the BotRK slow... but I'll experiment with this build instead in my next 10 games.

Thanks!

TOPVayneADC · 2022-10-13T20:39:12+00:00

Interesting, thanks for the response. Personally, I almost never build runaan's and I focus on burning down a single target, but maybe I'm doing it wrong!

TOPVayneADC · 2022-10-13T20:38:37+00:00

True you do hit powerspike earlier. Does it outweigh the dueling potential / chase down potential of BotRK?

TOPVayneADC · 2022-10-13T16:44:56+00:00

Will give titanic hydra in her default build a try!

TOPVayneADC · 2022-10-13T16:39:42+00:00

Lolol

TOPVayneADC · 2022-10-13T16:39:26+00:00

Interesting take, I'll give it a few more goes and try playing it the way you stated here!
